THE CAR (1977) - The Kill Counter - James Brolin
Ever wondered how many people lose their lives in any particular horror movie? Well, we've got you covered with THE KILL COUNTER, our hit new series takes out all of the guesswork and counts out each and every death on (and sometimes off) screen. Break out your calculator and try to keep up
In this episode, we take to the backroads and deserted desert highways to take on Elliot Silverstein's THE CAR with James Brolin (THE AMITYVILLE HORROR), Ronny Cox (ROBOCOP), and real-life sisters Kim Richards (ASSAULT ON PRECINCT 13) and Kyle Richards (HALLOWEEN). The late Church of Satan leader Anton LaVey was a "Technical Adviser" on the film and his "Invocation of Destruction" quote is used in the opening credits.

[@MrHereWeGoYo]

The Car is one of my all-time favorites. As an 8 year old kid at the time it was legit scary. Now that I'm older I'm able to simply bask in the greatness of this 70s gem.

[@SPINNINGMYWHEELS777]

if you like movies based on child predation.. go for its sicko.

[@nwseaman6945]

I recall seeing this movie when I was 7 or 8. Still classic

[@blue6940]

WOW! Remember watching this movie when I was 7. Just found it on Netflix. If the wind blew hard at night I was looking out for that car headlights 😂 for feet off the ground 🤣😂

[@dbsommers1]

Saw it on HBO some Saturday night when I was a kid. Loved it. Not gory, just creepy

[@godhams]

Along with DUAL in the same era this one stuck firmly in my mind forever more!!

[@XTITIX2112]

Duel you mean? 😊

[@StarWolf_88]

So underrated. My mom let me watch this...let's just say I stayed out of a car for a good time in my childhood.

[@doberman314]

Best movie

That horn though...I have a set that sound similar...

Shut up, People will use the word UNDERRATED on anything

[@grapeshot]

I remember a Futurama episode is based off of this movie. The funniest part is when the car started howling at the moon like a werewolf. It was because Bender was possessed by a werecar.🐺🐺🐺🚘🚘🚘🌕🌕🌕

[@EM.1]

@STEEL RAIN on the back bumper of the car there was a sticker with the phrase “ If you can read this, I run over you”. Loved that episode, the original car was a mix between The Buick 8 as model and Christine as coloration.

LIST OF DEATHS: 0:44 Girl (Run Over By The Car) 1:03 Pete Keil (Run Over By The Car) 1:07 John Morris (Killed By The Car) 2:39 Sheriff Everett (Killed By The Car) 3:02 People (Killed By The Car) 3:08 Random Sheriff (Killed By Horses) 3:16 Cowboy (Killed By The Car) 3:19 Cowboy (Killed By The Car) 3:26 Cowboy (Killed By The Car) 3:53 Ray Mott (Pushed His Car To The Cliff By The Car) 4:17 4 Sheriffs (Crushed By The Car's Barrel Roll) 4:26 Lauren (Killed By The Car) 4:36 The Car (Died By Explosion) The Car Has Survived In The Credits Roll

[@chrisguara]

So, since the car itself didn't actually die, the kill doesn't count. In Dead Meat fashion, 14 people died in The Car. With the victims consisting of 12 man and 2 woman, it gives way much more blueberry for this pie chart. With the run time of 98 minutes, it give us a kill average of of a perfect 7 minutes! I give the Golden Chainsaw for coolest kill to the 4 Deputies (4:17) who got Barrel Roll'ed by The Car. I mean, "Aileron Roll'ed". Man, Star Fox got me wrong again! Dull Machete for lamest kill has so many options, but I'm giving to the 3 cowboys (3:16 ; 3:19 ; 3:26) Since their deaths are not as believable compared to the rest. Edit, it's actually 14 kills, the Random Sherrif at 3:08 did survive the horse stampede, as later in the movie when Margie runs towards a police vehicle to use the radio we see him crawling away from the track

[@Sean-hn1vt]

The credits aren't canon. Just showing us cool shots of the movie's killer to close out the film. The credits don't prove anything.

[@Sean-hn1vt]

​@@chrisguaraThe Car, dead or not, still wouldn't count as a kill. As seen in James's Christine kill count, he doesn't count cars.

[@geriko1]

Saw this movie at a drive-in when I was 10 in 1977. I've been hooked ever since. I've been a car guy since that time even though I was too young to drive.

[@SPINNINGMYWHEELS777]

this movie is based on the horror of the child sex trade network - maybe you didn't know that. Quote from infamous Child rapist and satanic fool 'anton levey' at the start.

[@raleighkellyc9375]

Word too the wise .Never call the car nasty names .never tuant the car .never throw things at the car and never challenge the car .

[@wolf44875]

where's the fun in that

[@wstine79]

I remember seeing this one a Saturday Night movie on WGGT 48. My mom liked seeing James Brolin in action. The car flip on the sherriff's car and the drive through the house were awesome stunts.

[@gagejohnathan9641]

Fun fact about the car flipping! they actually tried to do that without the car shaking any parts off mid flip.

[@o.amoakohene8147]

I love this movie ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@airzulu2733]

It's a classic in it's way. Loved it .

[@66cuda]

I still remember seeing this in the drive in with my parents, to this day I still love this jaws knock off

[@lukePMberkshire1225]

My mom watches this movie when she was younger so we were able to watch it together, and I LOVED IT! Now officially one of my favorite horror movies next to Halloween and The Town that Dreaded Sundown

[@Galaxy2517]

Artwork at the end was awesome. Not too many people these days remember that movie.They know Christine or the Wraith.This is the one I remember best.

[@timworley3058]

My favorite possessed machine film, next to KILLDOZER.

Satan's Lincoln! At least Old Scratch kept his ride legal with the parking lights, headlights, turn signals and reversing lamps! The only thing that could gig him on a state inspection was the heavy window tint and obscured license plate on the rear of the car. Good times, good times.

[@Galaxy2517]

State inspectors trying to inspect would've multiplied the kill count...😆😆

[@amyyoung2830]

@@Galaxy2517 I would really love to see a music video for Ministry's "Jesus Built My Hot Rod" using footage from this movie LOL

[@sammencia7945]

Saw this in a theater in 1977 with a date.

[@sipo70]

This guy made a friggin great movie! I think it should play in the theaters for a month. For us of course.

[@3618499]

@sipo70 😃" A return to ' the big screen ' , would definitely be coming full circle. An old movie theater is just where I first saw It, when It first came out. At the time, James Brolin was only recognizable as being a co-star on the recently ended ' Marcus Welby, MD ' TV medical drama. "

[@janicegilchrest1904]

In my late teens I watched this at my local cinema on my own when I got back home a car went through my village ,I'm still scared of this type of car 😱

[@zackschulz6448]

Great stunts like barrel rolling and smashes through the house. You can do the Kill Counters of Wheels of Terror (in honor of its 30th anniversary), Maximum Overdrive, Duel, Rolling Vengeance, The Ambulance (in honor of its 30th anniversary), The Wraith, Super Hybrid (in honor of its 10th anniversary), Trucks (1997), The Car: Road to Revenge, Killdozer! (1974), Amok Train aka Beyond the Door III and Black Cadillac.

[@billmurray7473]

This is similar to an early Spielberg TV-movie called "Duel". Nobody really had a name for 'Road Rage' back then.

[@1983jblack]

Difference between this and Duel was The Car was portrayed as Satan's car

[@Kardump.]

Looks like Christine has a crush on the car

[@INFAMOUSLSG]

You'll have to deduct a kill from the count, the 6th count. The officer survived getting run down by the horse, in the scene where margie runs to the officers car to radio for help to the left of the screen you'll see him on the track moving.

[@tomservo5347]

Gotta love the movie trope of cars going over cliffs with nitroglycerin instead of antifreeze in the radiators. Impressive special effect with the demonic fireball and the actors expressing sheer mortal terror at something sent from the nether regions.

Talk about Christine all you want. There is NO better, meaner killer muscle car than The Car (a custom 1971 Lincoln Continental Mark III).

[@deanruthlessrecords]

A few years before I was born but I remember hearing my Mom always saying I needed to watch this.

[@mike7099]

When I was a kid back in the 70's this movie (the Car) was more terrifying to me than Jaws ever was. A close second place was The invasion of the body snatchers.

[@augusthawks6576]

Great movie. I wonder how many "cars" they had to build to make this film?

[@Kh06918]

They built a total of 6 and 3 were destroyed. Hard to say what happened to the other 3

For such a cheesy flick that car is downright terrifying, both in appearance and attitude! As to why it came about, I've heard from old legends that there's certain times of the year when monsters and other entities manifest to feed on blood and such to survive, the car is obviously some ancient evil that took the form of an automobile to terrorize the small rural desert town.
