What I love about that line so much is how it's both straightforward, and to the point (Obviously the car came back because it's possessed and evil), but it also leaves some room for interpretation - Did _Christine_ come back, or did Roland buy an identical car to fill the void, only to commit suicide later after the guilt of letting his daughter and wife die in it get to him?
In the book Geithner Lebay is more openly kind hearted and helpful towards Dennis for the sake of the Kid's best friend under the demonic possession of Christine herself, who was a succubus in my fan theory (female demonic entity) that possessed the 1958 Plymouth Fury on the assembly line in the 1950's in both John Carpenter's film and the book. Some argue it was only alive and self-aware after Roland Lebay died and possessed Christine but Christine was always sentient and alive. This succubus/female demon consumed and possessed the human male owners of the Plymouth Fury she possessed as a physical vessel embodiment, possessed an already twisted, warped, cruel, mentally ill and violent Roland D. Lebay that first purchased Christine in the 50's. Only making a bad, evil man more twisted, murderous and cruel. After Lebay died as an elderly retired war veteran hermit, Lebay possessed Christine and both possessed Arnie. Lebay drove Christine when she killed her victims and enemies of Arnie or herself while Arnie was typically asleep or working for Will Darnell running auto parts. But Lebay possessed Arnie's body when he drives Christine or when Christine is sitting still and not attacking victims. Roland D. Lebay conjoined his evil spirit to Christine forever by sacrificing his wife and their infant daughter Rita to Christine, allowing Christine to choke his feeding child to death with half assed faked efforts to save Rita and Lebay murdered his wife and staged it as carbon monoxide poisoning and suicide. It was a double human sacrifice to conjoin his soul to Christine in the afterlife.
The old man was in so many movies from my childhood. I have no idea who he even is but he always knocked it out of the park. I am sure he is gone by now. If so, RIP.
"Either you're dumber than you look or you don't know your friend very well" -- great delivery, great line. And gets right the point, the friend has been enchanted/cursed, and Christine captures a specific kind of person.
George and Dennis start off antagonistic when they first meet, but here we see George actually being decent to Dennis. Sure, he is angry and calls Dennis dumb, but he takes time to tell the story. Just so he is freed of a burden.
Well if George had any heart he'd have taken Christine to the crusher himself. He's probably another sociopath just like his brother at worst, and a worthless recluse at best. The fact that he sold that car to a stupid kid who didn't know what he was getting into says a lot.
One thing i just noticed I missed before is the guy is moving better, wearing what would be his best jacket, and attempting to fix his place up. It's like depression and physical problems have lifted since he got rid of the car.
Dennis got tired of cars and moved to San Diego and joined the Navy and flew jets. His call sign was after a car though. Cougar and same for his buddy Maverick.
I knew someone who had a arrest warrant he lived in a apartment building with a intercom and when the cops came to get him he played that to the cops on the intercom lmao
This joke also appeared in the Cheech and Chong movie a couple of years before, in which the they say it to a cop knocking on their window while they’re really stoned lol
I was just about to comment on that. "Who's Rita? His WIFE!" As if to say, "who do you think she was numbnuts??" I loved how crabby both George and Darnell were.
For 10 years John Carpenter was directing masterpiece after masterpiece. Halloween, Escape From New York, The Thing, Christine, Starman, They Live, Big Trouble In Little China. Plus producing/doing the scores for Halloween 2 (a worthy sequel/conclusion to the original, not as good but still a great slasher film) and Halloween III (underrated classic)
Yeah, Carpenter did Christine's score and it is indeed one of his best works, maybe even his best overall along with Halloween, Escape From New York and Halloween III.@@stopthephilosophicalzombie9017
Perfect casting and soundtrack. I love so many things about this film even years later and I remember seeing it when it was released at a drive in theater. Totally cool, suspensful and creepy at the same time. Another John Carpenter masterpiece.
Agreed, the casting and score is what made this movie such a timeless masterpiece. To this day I still get chills during the 'Show Me' scene when Christine's headlights turn.
In the book, it was Roland with the surly disposition and back brace; the movie basically combines the brothers' into one character. The book also has Arnie taking on Roland's characteristics, even the back brace, in order to illustrate Roalnd's spirit possessing him.
@@mangrove Roland wore the back brace in the book because of all the hours of pushing Christine backwards to roll the odometer back (which also restored the car).
The novel is so much more interesting. At times when Dennis is talking to Arnie, and he gets that edge in his voice, Dennis has to look away because he doesn’t see his friend. He sees Lebay’s rotting features, ala Werewolf in London; Jack talking to David.
"Of course the car came back 3 weeks later" I first saw this movie when I was little in the mid '80s while visiting grandparents' house one summer and that line creeped me the fuck out then and I knew the car came back on it's own and that line still creeps me out to this day.
His name is Robert Blossom. He has had a long and distinguished acting career, mainly playing odd and cantankerous old men. I remember him for playing a farmer in 1977's "Close Encounters of the Third Kind", where when they are talking about UFO's, he says "I saw Bigfoot once!".
I like the subtle moment where he uses the word "shitters". Like, you get that glance from Dennis but also it's like, a word echoing through time, from another person, saying it to someone. Echoing another time and another place, but the same situation. All of this has happened before. And it didn't end well.
Something to consider, in Christine, when the radio comes on by itself, the light is that weird shade of green. In Maximum Overdrive, the comet before everything starts to turn on by itself over the Earth, that same shade of green. In the miniseries The Tommyknockers, when everyone starts coming under the influence of The Tommyknockers, equipment, and when possessed, the townspeople's eyes have that green. Coincidence?
Yup. The LeBay who sold Christine to Arnie was Roland LeBay. He died shortly later (about a month or two afterwards) during the summer. According to the novel, he was a mechanic in the Army during World War 2 (where he injured his back), was the oldest of four children, had one brother killed in the war as well. George LeBay was the youngest or second youngest who told Dennis about Christine's history (he was cleaning out the house prior to it being sold), and he was a more pleasant individual. Not as evil as Roland.
TBH is must have been terrifying for George to go out to the garage, and find that Christine had returned. Seriously, imagine living alone, knowing the history of the car and it's just sitting there.
True that. He was so relieved when Arnie took that burden off his hands. When he saw how obsessed Arnie was he knew Christine had done it again. (gulp.....)
@@FitzArias He also knew that there was no way he could stop Arnie from buying the car. He would have given the car to Arnie for free but figured, make it look good and get a few bucks in the process.
Dennis is extremely lucky, that Christine just decided to "Scare him off." She could've found a way to kill him, if She wanted to! When we think about what Christine did to Mooch, and to the rest of that gang, that busted her up, and especially to Buddy Repperton, Dennis was allowed to escape with his life!
There was a time where certain directors actually made an effort in making good horror movies. In a way this was a classic. Look at this scene, the music adds to the tension.
Rumor has it that Blumhouse is in the works of a Christine "remake". I'd personally want to see an origin story where we see George LeBay's brother buy Christine and the story of how his life unfolds with the car.
In a way I feel like Christine was just giving him a warning, if she wanted to she could've easily let him and locked him in then killed him like her other victims.
@@giraffesareselfish9563 Yeah, Roland, the cars owner, wore the back brace in the book (his brother didn't show up until later, idk why he was wearing the brace in the movie). Pushing the car backwards would (somehow) reverse the odometer, and also reverse the wear and damage to the car.
The car was regenerated (or for a better term, the damage was negated), by the car moving all the time. With the odometer running backwards, the car was essentially going back in time to a period before the wear and damage happened. The back brace was what Roland LeBay wore in the novel due to a back injury he had while in the Army. During his take over of Arnie, Arnie was taking on his personality more and more with the back brace, attitude and other quirks like how he dressed, styled his hair and smoking a cigar.
@@imaouima Actually, he would just drive the car around the junkyard out back until the car's damage was negated enough for it to be street legal. He didn't have to push the car backwards at all. The back brace was part of the persona of Roland LeBay taking him over.
Somebody had suggested a Christine prequel and I think it's high time for one. The owner's brother pretty much has told the story of what happened to his brother and his family because of that car. Should end before she gets sold to Arnie.
When I saw this movie as a teenager, I thought the old man looked silly wearing that back brace. Now that I’m closer to his age with my own back issues, I have more sympathy for his character.
My first car was an old Chrysler too, and I'd bought it only a few months before Christine came out in 1983. I actually took my girl to see Christine in the Chrysler. After seeing the movie i couldn't sell it fast enough lol .
Other than the back story of the unseen brother owning the car in the movie version, this guy is basically the Rolland LeBay who owned the car and sold the car in the book. This guy in the movie is kinda like a rougher version of the retired teacher George LeBay who was nice to Dennis when he met with him at the motel in the book.
It comes up in the book time and again, and Darnell points it out with the windshield wipers and busted windshield, but the work they did on the car restoration is overlooked/underrated. How completely batshit to repair the car a piece at a time. Rotted fenders, painted hood. To completely restore something one section at a time is insane.
Christine was a prototype for Google before it became Google, that's how she drove herself and " came back " by herself , US military were also involved with Christine , early model drone , takes out the bad guys , no one needed on driver seat
Stephen, if you're reading a prequal or follow on would be good. Christine reincarnated as a evil 1990s Dodge 450 or something (not up on contemporary US classic cars, in Europe the ideal candidate would be a Lotus Carlton).
Christine doesn’t actually die though, at the end of the book she kills the last member of Buddy’s gang who skipped town after the incident. The movie hints at this by having her grill start to move.
I heard rumors there would be a sequel, the question is: How could Christine start running around again when she already crushed into a cube at the end of the first story ?
Remember, Christine can repair herself. The final shot of the movie shows Christine's grill twitching slightly, implying that she's not "dead" and will eventually fully reconstruct herself. I never heard any rumors about a sequel. I know that a remake is in development, however. I don't think we need either one of those. Christine should be left to stand in its own. No sequel, remake, or prequel. Just leave it be.
George knew or believed there was still hope to save Arnie because his brother had a moment of clarity and tried to get rid of the car. But it came back
That bit when Dennis asks "What do you mean came back ?" Georges reaction coupled with the music sends chills down my spine everytime.
What I love about that line so much is how it's both straightforward, and to the point (Obviously the car came back because it's possessed and evil), but it also leaves some room for interpretation - Did _Christine_ come back, or did Roland buy an identical car to fill the void, only to commit suicide later after the guilt of letting his daughter and wife die in it get to him?
@@GoredonTheDestroyer if you have seen the movie, you´d know that Christine can repair herself.

Exactly. Today's Hollywood would fuck that up. It was better to give a look than an answer
Yeah and for once the grouchy old man is gone replaced with a look of despair as if to say "Do you REALLY want to know, kid?"
When Dennis pulls on the door handle, and Christine starts playing Little RIchard's "I Keep a'Knockin"---yeah, I'd clear out of there pretty fast too!
The old man was in so many movies from my childhood. I have no idea who he even is but he always knocked it out of the park. I am sure he is gone by now. If so, RIP.
It was Roberts Blossom, who plays George LeBay. He was a character actor in many movies who passed away in 2011.
@@AKAFT YES !! Great actor. Was in escape from Alcatraz.
He was also in the TV's show In the Heat of the Night....he was in home alone.
"Either you're dumber than you look or you don't know your friend very well" -- great delivery, great line. And gets right the point, the friend has been enchanted/cursed, and Christine captures a specific kind of person.
I agree. I also think that's a powerful line because based on Arnie's behavioral changes, Dennis likely knows what the old man said is true.
Love how Christine. communicates with songs
Precursor to Bumblebee.
Imagine Christine as a Transformer!
Decepticon from the very depths of Hell
So do I. The ways that each of those songs fitted into the scenes were the heart and soul of Christine’s character.
That is one heck of a way to start a conversation.... "what the hell do you want"?
That's how I start most of my conversations
Both George and Darnell didn't take s*** from young punks.

One thing i just noticed I missed before is the guy is moving better, wearing what would be his best jacket, and attempting to fix his place up. It's like depression and physical problems have lifted since he got rid of the car.
Great observation.
Dennis is Arnie's friend so Christine gives him a pass by not letting him in.
You mean, instead of crushing him in the seat like the guy who ran the storage place?
Eventually George sold his property, then moved to Chicago, across the street from the McAlister's.
The shovel slayer. Salting the roads to turn the bodies into mummys....

As I get older, I catch myself doing the same. It's weird how it just shows up one day. I try to keep it in check and I apologize.

Creepy isn’t it ?
Christine had a good sense of humor. She was a killer but I respect that
She never killed anyone who respected her................I think.........

Christine was a prototype for Google before it became Google, that's how she drove herself and " came back " by herself , US military were also involved with Christine , early model drone , takes out the bad guys , no one needed on driver seat
Just realized that’s old man Marley from home alone 😂
Who’s Rita? Don’t ask no dumb questions like that…
His wife
His wife! Didn't give a rats ass about her...
That's like asking who Candice is, you don't ask such questions.
The daughter
Danny of the nine fingers!
Is this the old guy from Home Alone?
Yes It's Old Man Marley
The reason Christine didn't kill him because he was Arnie's bestfriend
Yes, his friendship was sincere.
@@LidyyCavalcante and Christine respected their friendship because of Arnie.
I mean Dennis is less of a threat of her unlike the bullies so yeah at least she didint kill him
Oui💋💋

Stephen, if you're reading a prequal or follow on would be good. Christine reincarnated as a evil 1990s Dodge 450 or something (not up on contemporary US classic cars, in Europe the ideal candidate would be a Lotus Carlton).
Christine doesn’t actually die though, at the end of the book she kills the last member of Buddy’s gang who skipped town after the incident. The movie hints at this by having her grill start to move.
@@packr72 Thanks. I forgot that. I'll have to read Christine again.
I heard rumors there would be a sequel, the question is: How could Christine start running around again when she already crushed into a cube at the end of the first story ?
You'll like the novel the film is adapted from.
Because The final scene is christine putting herself back together
Because whatever is possessing the car, could just as easily possess a different vehicle.
One crease at a time...
Remember, Christine can repair herself. The final shot of the movie shows Christine's grill twitching slightly, implying that she's not "dead" and will eventually fully reconstruct herself. I never heard any rumors about a sequel. I know that a remake is in development, however. I don't think we need either one of those. Christine should be left to stand in its own. No sequel, remake, or prequel. Just leave it be.

Christine came back on her own 3 weeks later? Sh__t
Yes, she did. It's real asF bro.
U think they would make a sequel or remake
Remakes always ruin the classics.
@@Phoebe5448 That's true.
Remakes always get negative reviews.
This is a movie that should never be redone. Leave it like it is.
What for? They’ll just butcher it then everyone will be asking why they bothered to make it?
@@Highbudget one I like the original I hope it they do make a another one they won't screw it up
George knew or believed there was still hope to save Arnie because his brother had a moment of clarity and tried to get rid of the car. But it came back
run moochie run
I like the anti theft device 😅
He left this town and moved across the street from Keven McAllister in home alone and shoveled everyone’s sidewalk
