Exploring John Carpenter's Christine

When I was a kid when this movie came out, a kid on the playground told me there was a sequel about Christine's brother "Joseph". a helicopter that used it's rotors to grind people up. Such a weird memory to survive into my adulthood.

I love this exploring series. I met Christine at a convention. She's the one that you mentioned was built from scrap parts I think. She's owned by Bill Gibson. He's restored the car using various parts from cars used in the film. Plus, now she talks like Kit from Knightrider lol. I have her tire autograph. Surprisingly, a nice girl but I wouldn't want to piss her off.

[@g.b569]

You are so lucky to have seen one of the Plymouth Furies in real life. While Christine is terrifying without a voice, the fact that Bill Gibson has rigged it so it can talk it pretty cool

The stunt drivers really deserve more recognition for their work in this movie, especially for that scene where Christine is on fire. They are quite literally the people who breathed life into Christine.

[@wilpuriarts5895]

This Carpenter-classic needs more love.

[@LucyLioness100]

This is one of the underrated King films mostly due to the film coming at the same time as the novel. Carpenter actually did a good job to put this together and got the majority of its story right with a decent cast. For the time of its making, the effects were pretty exciting (you couldn’t tell how it was pulled together with cables). Even cutting a majority of the material wasn’t a bad move as the novel is crazy dense; they got most of the important elements right

[@LowBudgetToons]

Bad to the Bone is the perfect song to make a killing machine like The Terminator or Christine look badass.

[@kevinpeterson1398]

I don't think Bad to the Bone was the right song for the opening because it doesn't fit in the timeline. The opening was supposed to be in the 50's and George Therogood was not around then. They should have picked something more in line with the time.

[@SeptienPatterson]

When I was a kid, I woke up from a nap and my mom was watching the 3rd act of the movie when it was killing Arnie's friend. I asked why was the car killing people, and all she said, "Its bad" then I went back to sleep

[@Jayskiallthewayski]

Hmm, E.T. is still a great movie and as far as I know loved by all. Dunno, maybe it was the critics. Horror movies didn't get much respect those days but Carpenter made them smart. I've read some of the critique on these movies and if you read that now you know they're full of shit. I'm baffeled by how much weight these people have when they talk about the "Sexual message" or "Misogyny" in for instance Halloween, feminists making idiotic statements and Carpenter just going "Ehm, I just wanted to make a great thriller". I almost feel sorry for the guy. Just look up your favourite movie from around that era on Wikipedia, see the "critical reception" and 9 times out of 10 you'll laugh your ass off. I myself think Halloween is an absolute masterpiece, the Thing almost as great, Christine just a great freaking movie and some of these critics retracted their words years later and like sheep they're going "Wauw, it's such a great movie" now as well. Halloween did great at the box office though, the Thing was ahead of it's time so maybe it was just too heavy. And Christine too tame. Whatever, Celine Dion got great reviews and sold millions of records once so maybe it all doesn't mean shit. We know the deal.

Carpenter is my favorite director. I at least like all his movies, even stinkers like Escape From LA I like. It's a guilty pleasure of mine. Carpenter is famous for hating sequels, so I have a theory that he made Escape From LA bad on purpose to fuck with the studio for pressuring him to do it.

[@twistedyogert]

I'm an adult and it still freaks me out.

[@RP_Williams]

"probably too young" - lol i guess it depends on the kid....when i grew up in the 80s MOST kids were watching effed up shit (often without our parents knowing) and we LOVED it! Maybe it was HUGE films like Ghostbusters (that i saw at eight years old) that desensitized us all to horror/scary stuff? Plus Michael Myers and Freddie and Jason were the new cool icons....i just remember being so excited to watch any 'forbidden' horror film (OR teen comedy nudy flick) back then....good times lol.

I suppose it would have been better if they picked a more common car like a Bel-Air. Those things are everywhere and some rust buckets would honestly not be missed (Well, still missed but not as much as Christine's model), but King insisted for it to be the much rarer car. 17 cars entered, only 2 survived.

I first saw the movie "Christine" on HBO in January of 1986. 'Christine" has been one of my biggest obsessions ever since.

I found the movie later as an adult and was absolutely stunned out how good it still was and how effective the characters are portrayed.

Fun fact: George A. Romero was originally set to attach to direct Christine, especially since King was his best friend, whom he also worked with on Creepshow, and King had the novel that took place at the Monroeville Mall (the same mall used in Romero's film Dawn of the Dead). Carpenter was originally set to direct Firestarter, but something happened at Columbia Pictures, and Romero was removed from the project and Carpenter moved in to replace Romero. This fact came from George A. Romero himself from a chat I participated in back in 1998 at TalkCity, a chat room held by Universal Studios, and I had asked him about the novel Christine and if the car had been named after his wife. Unfortunately, the only transcript that exists of the chat is at Homepage of the Dead, and they removed a bulk of the questions to focus solely on his Living Dead films, including two other questions I had asked him, one of them being about the Resident Evil film he was involved with at the time (this was 1998, shortly before he was completely removed from the project), and about the most difficult scene he ever directed (he stated it was the drowning scene with Ted Danson from "Creepshow," explaining that despite the fact that Danson was actually safe during the shots where we see the water rolling into the beach, Romero was afraid of him actually drowning).

[@kevinpeterson1398]

In all the documentaries I've watched about George Romero I've never once heard him mention Christine. If you can bring proof to the table then maybe i'll believe that. The stuff about Ted Danson is true though. He did mention it in one of his interviews.

[@dsandoval9396]

Kevin Peterson well he just said, "...the only proof... " so saying that was kind of redundant. Although I do agree with the idea of not just talking someone's word at face value I would have said something like, "Don't take this the wrong way but until there is any proof then I'll believe it."

[@DanielS2001]

@@kevinpeterson1398 I'm sorry I didn't get back to you sooner. Like I said, the unfortunate thing is that the only transcript that exists of the chat exists over at Homepage of the Dead, a website dedicated to the Living Dead films. And, unfortunately, it edited out a bulk of the questions and answers to focus solely on questions in relation to his zombie films/works. And, like I also mentioned, the questions I asked were also cut from the transcript. Whether you believe me or not, it's completely up to you. And if you choose not to, I'll understand and I won't try to convince you due to the fact that any proof of the info coming from Romero's mouth himself doesn't exist anymore: www.homepageofthedead.com/baps/romero_chat2.html

00:50 "The Thing... was both a critical and commercial failure". Damn, you are breaking my heart. Fuck those critics. Something to be said for modern film critics: there seems to be much less criticism towards genre movies today and far less snobbery now. Today, for the most part, films only get savaged by critics when they really deserve it (and I'm talking true uniform dismissal, not polarising opinions). Watching old episodes of Siskel and Ebert on KZbin now is just embarrassing - the sheer number of true classics which they mercilessly savaged. They simply did not know that they were living in a golden age of riches - far more than the ultra-conservative franchise or brand-focused era of creative cowardice which we now put up with.
