Christine-Car Repair

[@shakemeshakeme]

this is why this movie is a classic. it never gets old. CGI automaticly makes things old with every passing year

[@SWDude2710]

Not always true tbh, but for this film it seems that CGI wouldn't even be necessary.

[@doowoppingchainsawer]

How could someone dislike this? It is an iconic scene. No goofy computer tricks either. John Carpenter is brilliant.

[@Random331188]

This effect was done by wielding hydraulics inside various parts of the car, and reversing the pumps so the car parts were " sucked in " then they just reversed the footage to make it look like the car was repairing itself. so yes your right.

[@r1too]

That answers my question.. makes sense. thanks. Everybody saying, "They reversed the film, reversed the film.. Yeah, I get that.. but how did they get the dents in the first place.. The hydraulics would be strong enough and the speed could be controlled. Awesome scene.

[@mariedoors]

thank you for uploading this, awesome movie, one of my all time favorites!!

[@MichaelRepublic]

*That was a whole ASMR*

[@TheNightrunner666]

i got a 58 playmouth fury...spent a small fortune havin her rebuilt. and finshed up like christine. my fiance loved the movie and said she wanted one...so she got it..there twins. both are beautiful...but get um mad or cross them and nothing can stop them..beautiful car..best car movie ever..next is gone in sixty seconds not the one with cage and jolie

[@dogdidit]

Reverse photography and hydraulics built into the car, mostly. The hydraulics the effects crew built into the frame of the car actually are, in a controlled manner, crushing it. This was shot and then run in reverse giving the effect of the car repairing itself.

[@bradley-vh3bu]

Honestly, the best part is when she does.

[@thetomgibson]

Back when practical effects were king. This was a simple technique were the film was reversed to show the car coming back together.

[@04dram04]

So simple, but would be done with cgi, if made today!

[@dogdidit]

@SuperStreetcool Sympathetic villan. Bullied terribly in the beginning, then gradually possessed by the car which helps him take revenge.

[@user-tb2jy9lu3d]

Crushed by what, however? There's nothing above it in the video for it to be a direct reverse playback. It's some other effect, as well.

[@SammEater]

I wish a car could do this, i mean no more mechanics just the car repairing itself. :D

[@Chulva]

Christine is the baddest ride! I want one!!

[@tevinhoward4419]

It wasn't too long before Christine regenerates herself to normal before she gets after moochie boxed in and charges after buddy reaperton.

[@doowoppingchainsawer]

He's good. He just fell under the spell of Christine.

[@kaisenji]

@Hubs88 Yeah....they said that back when the film was made. Doesn't matter how it was done it is still awesome to watch.

[@firebat42]

I'm not gonna lie. Never have I ever seen a car look so pissed. She's thirsty for bully blood.

[@grayfire777]

that was just crazy!!! even today the special effects werent to bad!!!

[@Tchernobog]

christine is the 80s synth music everyone remembers

[@SuperStreetcool]

so is the guy that says *show me* a bad guy or a good guy

[@yeoldesaltydog7415]

I'm a little nerved right now in a Good way but.. scary too! Finding one of these 2 Door Hardtops is nearly IMPOSSIBLE today. Well, leave it to me to find a '57 in Roswell, NM. She is home with me now, but OH I wish all I had to do was ask 'Show me'. These cars aren't easy to restore either. Mine I found is a Push Button Automatic, 318 Single 4 Barrel Carb 'Super Pack'(?) Original colors Red and White just like Christine and she is a Belvedere. Really good friend of mine has quite a few as he operates a junk yard for the "Forward Look" cars from '55 - '61, that Christine and my 'Bettie' (57 Saratoga) shares in. All I know is my end goal is to at least own a Very nice '58 Clone. But who knows, maybe this '57 is Mine forever! They do attach once they see how serious you are ;) {oo)====V====(oo} I'm still in love with her Sister my 1957 Chrysler Saratoga 4DHT. I am normally a GM man, but these cars have stolen my heart! Beware!! Thats how it all starts!!

[@reidharris1059]

What’s the song name , sounds like 50s music

[@fightingwolf18]

Is it true they put pistons inside some of the parts to make the car fix itself? And speaking of non-CGI, it's worth a laurgh to see some of the old monster movies, just to see how different Hollywood's idea of "scary" was back then. And about animation, CGI can do some cool stuff, but I think it would be better if they tried to make a hand-drawn animated movie that exceeded the standards of the best CGI movies.(UP, Finding Nemo, Cars)Look at movies like Balto and Spirit!

[@TheBreakingBenny]

Just like a Carmageddon vehicle...

[@tmart69]

@Hubs88 What's crushing it?

[@johnlagan2160]

I would have liked a christine sketch in the scary movie series 😂

[@rolfasasssssssssssss]

I love you christine

[@chata45]

GREAT SCENE.....

[@oliviereveraerts]

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaw congratulations !!!!! Did you discovered this on your own ??????

[@Thagame07]

The good old day's when the people making the movie actully gave a shit and put effert into it itstead of going straight to CGI godd i miss old Movie's and Music 80's,70's,60's,50's

[@brandonhowell1584]

0:05 Arnie Cunningham: Okay… show me.

[@rolfasasssssssssssss]

I love you christine my best car

[@cleyton6648]

Esse carro é imortal se restaura sozinho..

[@TacticalWaffle]

Watchful this wistfully after getting in a wreck. 😅

[@whiteley1989]

all it is is pistons but on the other side of the panel and just pushing the body work in making it dint then they just reverse the film

[@HikingnBeer]

I wish they would make a Christine 2. However, I would hope that they would use kit car replicas being that the cars are so rare. It be cool to see Christine chasing some ricer down the street, then smashing in to some Honda Civic hehehe

[@sassykat83498]

I love this movie and I am like 13. I love sports cars

[@YoshiYoshi456]

Uh that isn't a sports car

[@Gothicwolf1984]

There no way a car can fix itself by itself

[@armorpro573]

No duh Sherlock. That’s why it’s called a movie.

[@mysteriosupafan]

@Hubs88 yeah well back in the day they relied on real things and not cgi

[@ladypiratita]

OKAY SHOW ME!!!! I LOVE THIS MOVIE SO MUCH FELL IN LOVE WITH THE CAR I NAMED MY DAUGHTER CHRISTINE

[@peterhewitt1074]

go christine go girl she is the best I like you christine and I hope you like me too

[@R2RO20]

one clunker they wont be able to cash...

[@KTKomedy2813]

The car is a balloon.

[@Thagame07]

Hey sorry for the late reply but i completly agree i mean almost everything is CGI i mea when they make even the smallest explostion it's 100% CGI i mean back then they would blow complete fucking buildings up.Plus there remaking every movie ever made and putting the originals to shame.

[@sugarlipz96]

Eeeeeepic :D

[@keyblademark]

Stephen King + John Carpenter = Fucking Awesome Movie ^^

[@vqdset]

WoW no insurance

[@MisterUnconcerned]

It's a plastic and rubber mock up that was pulled inwards by various attached hydraulic cylinders (one may be visible under the hood when the front end gets fixed). Then they just reverse the film. I've also heard that portions of that "crush" vehicle may have been inflatable. The front bumper possibly?

[@randomworld1]

Maybe not the 50's lol.

[@legolord575]

Wtf no this car is beautiful I don' wanna niggafie it...

[@kipuchiy]

Жаль, настоящие машины так не умеют делать =(

[@TooBigToHide]

Im surprised they havent remade this movie, but Im sure they would just get some dip shit actors to fuck it all up so maybe its for the best that they dont remake it...

[@YoshiYoshi456]

you do realize the comment you put has no value right?

[@RWoody1995]

aaand the same can be said for yours :/

[@SuperStreetcool]

@dogdidit oh so the guys that smash the car r the bad guys

[@Vv-gk4cu]

This must be fake.

[@fukinworkify]

film fukin awsum
