@jackthomson73 😂 I've heard pork chops but this is the first lamb chop. I always think of that lady ventriloquist with the sock puppet named Lamb chop 😅
I love how flame-coated Christine is just cruising down the road but still manages to catch up to Buddy, who seems to be running faster than Usain Bolt in need of a toilet.
lol. When she rammed Buddy’s car the first time, she got stuck in it and was trying to free herself. But I do like that the first thing she did was damaged his car like he did with her.
This scene always cracks me up: "I'm running from the possessed car - I know, I'll run down the CENTER of the paved road - forget the perfectly good trees on either side of me."
Well, obviously he was not just a bully, but one who also loved trees. He just kept it a secret. You really think that people would fear him if they ever discovered that he was a tree lover as well? Come'on, man.
Which means he would have burned alive in the forest instead of getting run over. Because Christine would make damn sure he wouldn't get out of there alive.
The image of an on-fire Christine in that scene really stuck with me throughout the years. Kinda like the ultimate flame-paintjob come to life. Kudos to the stunt-driver BTW. IIRC he's interviewed on the DVD or BRD specials and he was basically driving blind in that scene while the car he was sitting in was on fire. And in the interview he made it sound like it was ... nothing. Like it was the same as taking the car out on a Sunday morning to get coffee.. :)
Because if he ran slightly OFF the road the DEMONIC whip can drive itself and regenerate at will would be powerless to whack him. The movie should've ended rite there with Buddy running slightly OFF ROAD and WINNING so as to appease autistic Internet commenters from the future 💯
Yup... That actor nailed that prick Buddy right on down to the letter. Christine was a little easier on Buddy then I would have imagined though. His death was rather merciful compared to some of the others. Perhaps the demon had some level of admiration for Buddy's morally bankrupt code he lived by. Certainly wasn't his intelligence.
So many 60s/70s full serve stations were being torn down in the TMZ that they jumped at the chance to get paid to demolish the station for the land developer.
Someone needs to start an 80s horror movie troupe list. Here's mine: If a girl is running through the woods in high heels, she's definitely about to trip, fall, and die. If a black character is still alive, the main character is safe. If two teenagers are making out in a car in the woods at night, it's game over for them. The killer isn't dead until the credits roll. And even then he's probably coming back. When a room full of teenagers grabs makeshift weapons, someone will absolutely grab the most useless thing in the room. When a group decides to barricade the doors and windows, there will always be a large supply of hammers, boards, and nails located in the house. And they will always nail them up at weirdly random angles. Once they're safe inside, the one thing they need in order to survive is located in the car they parked unnecessarily far away, but still in plain sight. All teenagers look 35 years old. There are probably no bicycles in the zombie apocalypse because bicycles would solve 99% of the problems in the zombie apocalypse.
In every movie where the protagonist is school aged, one of the bad guys is always a school bully who always dies a horrible death near the end. When you think about it, all horror and action movies are about revenge. That’s why there is an audience for this plot because we in real life have our own bully that we wish would suffer.
I went to all my five-year school reunions. Very large graduating class. By the 40th, there was exactly one of the 20+ bullies and jerks left. One. All the others had either died very young, been murdered or killed themselves using drugs or drink. One. He's still quite the piece of work. Oh, of the non-bullies? Coming up on our 50th Reunion, for my age group, one would expect one in thirteen to be dead. And that's about right. The bullies? 95% death rate. Nobody is shedding any tears for them. And, we didn't even have a Christine to settle the scores.
@@ethelryan257 The best revenge is to live longer, and to be more wealthy, professionally successful, and happy than your bullies. I think the high school reunions have an underlying purpose of seeing it for yourself if you have had your revenge. Revenge is a dish best served cold. Your suffering from these bullies only lasts a few years, but whatever misfortunes the bullies suffer afterward last decades - if they live that long. As much as the pain I suffered from these bullies, as an adult, I feel bad for them by the same degree knowing why they acted the way they did. As adults, we victims realize the sadism of bullies is just a coping mechanism they had used to hide a much deeper pain. Basically bullies secretly suffer more than the pain they inflict on others.
To me, that shaggy dude did not pass as being believable as being 18 & still in h.s. Saw it when I was 8. Felt that way then still do. That dude can't be a high school student. The sound effects/music they hit out of the park in Christine.
@@Sheisthedevilyouknowwho-ft9weThat’s every tv show/ movie in history. They generally go for older actors who look younger, sometimes they miss. Directors would rather work with an older actor.
I think this is my favorite John Carpenter movie. The book it's based on is one of Stephen King's morbid masterpieces. I love how the car seems to purr while it's motor is running.
Carpenter really made this car terrifying, it really is very well done. The movie The Car made in the 70's was pretty good too, I think Carpenter took some ideas out of that older movie and employed them in Christine.
@@brianmeen2158 Halloween, ok. The Thing is a masterpiece of horror, paranoia, and gore. Very good movie. I think Rob Zombie actually made a better Halloween.
I love how quickly Buddy goes from Talking tough with the pipe in his hand to his car being destroyed to one of his friends being murdered to both of his friends being murdered the entire Place being destroyed and he realizing that he's next and no one is coming to save him
Perfectly describes what happened to him throughout the course of the movie. He started out as the big bad bully terrorizing poor arnie and now he’s the one rendered helpless and defenseless
I remember when they built this gas station set on the corner of McBean and Valencia Blvd when it was an onion field. I thought it was a strange place for a gas station, then I realized it was a movie set. I grew up in that area and now it's all malls and crowded as hell.
@@canamrider07 Yep, they did. It was roughly where The Corner Bakery and Islands is now. I remember when they were building it in the middle of nowhere. It was all onion fields then. I used to ride my bike around there all the time on the way to Valencia library. It was gone in no time.
This really is one of those extremely rare movies which actually manage to grasp the story line from the novel and realize it on the big screen. The original 'IT' did that, too.
Yeah, I just finished the book, and while I think the book goes into more detail to explain situations better and flesh out characters more, the movie is a cleaner telling of the story.
Christine: 'O running man, can you please conviently run in the middle of a paved road? So i can run you over better.' Running man: 'Sure, i have noting else planned for tonight!'
Christine is the victom, the devil was controling the car doing all the killing, the car doesn't kill just like guns don't kill poeple, the person kills the person.
What really made.this movie great was the stunt driving team. The way Christine was driven, slow steady speed increases, the fraction longer to brake when menacing and the stalking were perfect and gave a true feeling of a ghost in the machine.
Yeah, but in the movie she was possessed by Satan. Only in the novel was she driven by a ghost. I like the Satan story arc better. A ghost just isn't that scary in my opinion.
Stuntman risked his life during the explosion scene, he was wearing a full fire suit equipped w/oxygen tank, but the heat and smoke was so intense he nearly passed out from asphyxiation, dude was a champ and a true professional.
Great scene. Love this movie. As others have noted, the camaro had no engine in it as it's being dragged by Christine. Also the Chevelle on the lift is up before the explosion and down on the floor as the station goes up in flames.
There's actually a deleted scene where we see the other bully get crushed by the chevelle on the lift. Which would explain the scream and why the chevelle is on the ground at the time of the explosion.
Was there ever the slightest chance that Buddy would drive anything other than a Camaro? It's one of those things that feels like it was written in the stars.
And then comes the spookiest scene in Christine, when the smoldering and white-hot shell calmly pulls into the garage and properly backs into its assigned parking spot.
With all that open space and fields around him, Buddy felt the need to run in the middle of the street. Lol. I'm sure Christine thought that Buddy was lame too....
3:23 I love how this who segment is just a shot-reverse-shot down a road. It's a simple back and forth, but man does it capture the building tension. It's a LITERAL car chase, yet it doesn't even look like Christine is traveling that speedily (just slightly faster than a human being can run), and yet there's mounting dread and suspense. And the music! What can I say except it's otherworldly and haunting! Carpenter is and always will be a *master* of cinema.
@meta7958 yeah. The CGI back then wasn't capable of this kind of stuff yet. So they were like "shit, we have to go practical" and they did. Took more money but still looks better when this is all real than fake
I remember seeing these scenes as a kid. I didn't know english and I couldn't read the subtitles. I was just watching some kids cartoons from a VHS tapes and when the cartoons were over this hits the screen. 0.o
The only jumpscare i had in this whole film was when Arnie leaped out to wrap his arms around Leigh after falling out of Christine's windshield when she crashed into the office at Darnell's but i Gotta admit 3:23 to 3:59 looked very creepy seeing Christine using a small amount of horse power to roll up to the running Buddy on the road like that while covered in 🔥🔥🔥🔥 with the headlights still on
Fun Fact: Don Vandenberg @ 2:34 is played by Stu Charno who is famous for portraying Ted in Friday the 13th Part 2 and is one of two survivors in that film. (The other being Ginny Field. Although Paul Holt’s fate is unknown and is presumed dead.)
What a shame that scenes were deleted Stuart Charno is crushed by the bridge and screams because of it and dies in the explosion, but the most important scene they dared to cut was when Arnie's best friend Denis is betrayed when Denis Kisses Leigh
Agreed. Not really sure why they cut Vandenberg's death as it leaves an abrupt edit in the scene. Sure, we don't really need to see his death, but why put the hatchet to the middle of a filmed scene? Doesn't make any sense to me. Also agree about the Dennis/Leigh scenes at the drive in. Though I swear I've seen that scene in a TV version a hundred years ago. But it makes sense. Why would Arnie go to Darnell's just because somebody scratched "Darnells Tonight" in his paint? No, it's the final showdown. The enemy has been chosen; Denis merely set the location. A Directors cut would be nice.
0:48. Just realized the passenger is the same guy from the opening scene of Ghostbusters when Bill Murray (Dr. Venkman) does the ESP test with the fake tarot cards.
Vinnie Barbarino got smooshed. Hell hath no Fury like a Plymouth scorned. I miss the 80s. You could actually find an entire mile of road that wasn't full of potholes or endless construction. Truly it was a golden age.
Most iconic moment of the movie. Christine emerges from the explosion on fire like she came from the depths of hell.
Sim eu tenho tanta apreço nesta cena!
She did
Just like the book. Hats off to the master John Capenter.
for me it is between this moment and Christine rebuilding herself
Buddy had a cool car also before his car was destroyed.
love how the headlights look on film. The flaming Christine driving after him is the most terrifying scene in the movie!
Il aurait pu courir dans les champs😂
carpenter said they had to keep replacing the headlights because they had 24 volts hooked to them to make em that bright.

A forest fire would have ensued. Props to Buddy sacrificing himself for Mother Nature.
Which means he would have burned alive in the forest instead of getting run over. Because Christine would make damn sure he wouldn't get out of there alive.
He doesn't know it's a possessed car. He thinks Arnold Cunningham is driving it and Arnold won't have the guts to run him down in cold blood.

@@gregggoss2210I watched it again after reading your comment, and it looked like it was empty to me too.
The car will slide easier with out the motor.
3:23 I love how this who segment is just a shot-reverse-shot down a road. It's a simple back and forth, but man does it capture the building tension. It's a LITERAL car chase, yet it doesn't even look like Christine is traveling that speedily (just slightly faster than a human being can run), and yet there's mounting dread and suspense. And the music! What can I say except it's otherworldly and haunting! Carpenter is and always will be a *master* of cinema.
When You don't need 50 millions dollars to make a great scene😮
This was when everything wasn't cgi crazy how trash movies today are compared to back then
@meta7958 yeah. The CGI back then wasn't capable of this kind of stuff yet. So they were like "shit, we have to go practical" and they did. Took more money but still looks better when this is all real than fake
1 Christine and 2 They Live my favorite John Carpenter movies.
My all time JC favorites were Prince of Darkness and Big Trouble in Little China. But Christine and They Live are definitely epic movies!
"I hope he comes in here"
Christine comes drifting in, on a mission. 🤨
I remember seeing these scenes as a kid.
I didn't know english and I couldn't read the subtitles.
I was just watching some kids cartoons from a VHS tapes and when the cartoons were over this hits the screen. 0.o
The window tinting on Christine is probably illegal. Ha ha
People need to sue. Those laws are unconstitutional.
To be 1983 the movie was better than some today's movies.
3:43 I remember Radiohead everytime
Well I suppose it was Karma for him.
The only jumpscare i had in this whole film was when Arnie leaped out to wrap his arms around Leigh after falling out of Christine's windshield when she crashed into the office at Darnell's
but i Gotta admit 3:23 to 3:59 looked very creepy seeing Christine using a small amount of horse power to roll up to the running Buddy on the road like that while covered in 🔥🔥🔥🔥 with the headlights still on
Christine interrupted Rick Moranis and John Travolta's date.
"He's backing up too" Well, if he didn't, Buddy would have driven into him.
Homeboy got no luck, gets hit by the car into the wall and just a year before he was being shocked by Peter for no reason, didn’t even get his 5 bucks
Fun Fact: Don Vandenberg @ 2:34 is played by Stu Charno who is famous for portraying Ted in Friday the 13th Part 2 and is one of two survivors in that film. (The other being Ginny Field. Although Paul Holt’s fate is unknown and is presumed dead.)
What a shame that scenes were deleted
Stuart Charno is crushed by the bridge and screams because of it and dies in the explosion, but the most important scene they dared to cut was when Arnie's best friend Denis is betrayed when Denis Kisses Leigh
Agreed. Not really sure why they cut Vandenberg's death as it leaves an abrupt edit in the scene. Sure, we don't really need to see his death, but why put the hatchet to the middle of a filmed scene? Doesn't make any sense to me.
Also agree about the Dennis/Leigh scenes at the drive in. Though I swear I've seen that scene in a TV version a hundred years ago. But it makes sense. Why would Arnie go to Darnell's just because somebody scratched "Darnells Tonight" in his paint? No, it's the final showdown. The enemy has been chosen; Denis merely set the location.
A Directors cut would be nice.
There was also a deleted scene when Arnie has a breakdown in Dennis car after being bullied
0:48. Just realized the passenger is the same guy from the opening scene of Ghostbusters when Bill Murray (Dr. Venkman) does the ESP test with the fake tarot cards.
Christine must have had some early production halogens.
Aircraft landing lights....
The actor who played Buddy Repperton always reminded me of a more rugged, John Travolta knock off. 🤣👍
Vinnie Barbarino got smooshed.
Hell hath no Fury like a Plymouth scorned.
I miss the 80s. You could actually find an entire mile of road that wasn't full of potholes or endless construction. Truly it was a golden age.
Dude, I'm 65 so you have to be close, that's exactly what I thought when watching this scene
@@pedrosegarra2512 I'm only 55, but I read at a 65 year old level and I feel 75 until I've had my morning coffee. ')
Christine one of my top 10 movies, watched it a few times every year.
Glenn Danzig is pretty good in this 👍
Lol
Was thinking the singer from Winger 😅 Or Jim Morrisons cousin.
I LOVE HOW FIRE MAKES THE CAR LOOK DEMONIC. COOL!
3:23 iconic scene
Shout out to the actor who did this stunt cause this is incredible. You’ll never find a scene like this ever.
And all this time I thought Jim Morrison died in Paris in 1971 😵💫
Nope, he was a 47 year old high school student.
There's never a Hot Air Balloon to jump into when you need one.
Buddy: Some shitheads following me, I just hope he comes in here.
Christine: (Approaches the gas station and rams buddy's car) So you've chosen death
Don't ever call a car "he." No wonder Christine got offended.
2:36 that bully scream is hilarious XD
Let me know if I'm wrong but isn't the guy playing the passenger the same actor who was participating in electro-shock experiments in Ghostbusters?
Yes that is correct!! The effect!! I'll tell you what the effect is!! It's pissing me off!!
Such destruction
Love it back when cars were made of steel nowadays see a car wreck you just hear plastics smashing like a Tupperware bowl with wheels😅
% wise, we survive waay more crashes today than then.
It's not even close
1:09-did Buddy just totally blow that stop sign??? 😆🛑😆
