      That car is obviously real, the parts exist, they are filmed with a real camera in front of a real actor that is looking at a real car.
      It's way more impressive to watch a bunch of scrap metal fix itself into a nice car before your very eyes than a Transformers' special effect that no matter how good Optimus Prime looks on the screen, I know the actor is just looking at a green screen in real life.

    The first 40 seconds of this clip I always find beautiful. Christine at this point is borderline a write-off, she's going to cost 4 times as much to restore, but Arnie doesn't care. He knows it will be tough, expensive, but to him, she's worth it. He isn't utterly blind to the expenses and work yet he quietly comforts her. I've said that line to a few of my closest friends in the past, most often my best friend, and it just resonates at the times I feel I need to have it said. Genuinely a lot of touching moments in this movie, and a lot of subtleties too.

    After reading a ton of the comments on this scene, I am blown away by peoples appreciation for this old movie! I'm 56 and saw it (several times) when it came out. I personally loved it, but it didn't really make that big of a splash back then, if I remember correctly. Guess it has aged well, and become something of a cult classic. Just so cool to see it get the respect I think it deserves. However, I will say the book is definitely waaayy better than the movie. It's hard to encapsulate a 300 page book into a 90 minute movie and not make some cuts and changes! Anyone who has read the book knows what I mean! And I highly recommend it. Still love the movie, though! Rock on, Christine fans!

Unless the zoomed parts of Christine aren't actually parts of the car and they build up the zoomed parts separately made of some other material that can bend more easily, and some guy from the inside was pushing the material to give the illusion of the repairing car.

      Well, why not? After all it is a sort of striptease. The quiet way she starts when Arnie isn't looking, letting him know she wants to show him her goods. When he calmly walks in front of her, turns and says 'Show Me." And Christine is so ready for this, because she knows Arnie truly loves her. So she flashes him first, literally. And the music you hear? It's a heartbeat. Because the first time you are exposed and so vulnerable to someone you love, your heart does pound. Then the music fades in over the heartbeat as her confidence rises and her show begins. And you can tell from the look on Arnie's face that he wants this as badly as Christine does. And the seductive way she shows her powers to him. Starting slowly, almost shyly, then building and building as her passion rises and she longs for Arnie to surrender to her completely. And he does. It was this interaction that told Christine how far Arnie was willing to go for her. And he let her know. He'd go all the way for her. He was willing to let her kill those that had hurt her, hurt them both. From this moment, Arnie was lost to her charms. No matter how far it went, he would never turn away from her.

It's a beautiful scene cause we all sympathize with Arnie and want him to have have just the one good thing in his life, but it ends up consuming him and he loses control of what good he had once carried with him. This movie almost has a Shakespearean tragedy to it. I got to have my picture taken with one of the cars used in the movie and I'm not going to lie...CHRISTINE is one badass piece of machinery . 🤘

      Kristopher Prevo I mean sure but they still needed a computer to do that. That’s what I’m saying.

      They did not use a damn computer. They put hydraulic jacks inside the car and pulled it in while filming from different camera angles. What you are seeing is that played backwards so instead of being pulled in it appears to be popping back out.

    This is my favourite scene. Love the film as a whole, though.

    I remember watching this scene as a kid and saying to myself "that is the most amazing thing I've ever seen, and I want that car".....and my opinion doesn't change. Even after reading the book, and even after knowing how they did that effect (car self restoration).
