Clarification needed. As someone else in the comments pointed out to me. Although yes, Christine had a 5.2 litre engine in the movie within the more than 20 cars of her that were used for some of the driving. The engine seen repairing herself and in the photo used, was the 5.7 litre, 350 Cubic Inch Golden Commando, with 305 hp two 4-barrel carburetors. Future references will try to clarify this better as more than one engine was used in production.
@robv11393 жыл бұрын
As I understand it the Golden Commando was an option at the time, while the 5.2 290 H.P. could be ordered with two (V-800) and four barrel (Dual Fury). All for 1958. (Rob, UK) BTW isn't that a Plymouth Scamp and not a sedan in the brochure shot?

@@robv1139 that’s my understanding too, if you had the money - and perhaps a contact at Chrysler or a dealer hungry for a sale - you could effectively fit out any car, even four-door wagons, with the top performance Fury parts. Same with paint colours, if the assembly plant had access to, say, metallic pink paint they’d paint your car that colour if you paid the extra.

But as the chase ensued and the speed picked up it took on a whole new image without changing a spot of oil or rust. The Car always looked 'evil-y stylish' to me. Something I would and wouldn't want to ride around in. And the more one realizes it's simplicity having no door handles, key holes, antenna, wipers or latches, the more evil and mysterious it becomes.

Also when it kills Lauren by flying through her house is a masterpiece of editing; the extended silence that follows as the light bulb swings from the ceiling literally leaves you speechless. Such a shame the film was buried under the media surrounding the box office hits of the time, it's a film that thoroughly deserves its cult status and it is in no way a low-budget-looking 'B' movie.

In 1977, my mom treated me and my two sisters to a trip to Disneyland with a side-stop at Universal Studios. This was time before all the amusement park rides. It was just a tram ride through the working lot that ended at the center where the animal show and Frankenstein monster makeup demo took place. There was one more show, but I can't remember what it was. But during the tram ride I remember driving by a dirt parking lot and parked along the fence were several recognizable movie and TV cars, just sitting out in the hot sun and all covered with what looked like months worth of dust. One of those cars was Peter Falk's old jalopy from his Columbo series, but a couple of old cop cars away was the Lincoln from The Car, a movie I had just seen and loved (I was 14). And though the tram's tour guide prattled off the sites (I think this was pre-scripts), no mention was made of the Lincoln, though he did point out Columbo's car. I still have the photos I took of both cars with my little rectangular Kodak Instamatic.

Christine takes the spot for me as the most beautiful vehicle on this list, and also the one with the most "personality". The car was an actual character, with emotions and feelings, jealous and angry and possessive, and she was evil and vengeful. The car was actually in love with Arnie, and was savagely protective of him, hunting down his bullies, but of course taking it all too far and going overboard on the evil. And what a beautiful car; nobody makes cars like that anymore, the style, chrome, the finish, the sound. While The Car may have been scarier, Christine was a better film.

"Christine" and "The Car" stand alone from the rest of the genre, and even from each other. Christine was unique in that it digs into almost every nerds experience in school, and the feelings they felt at some form of revenge being taken out on their bully attackers. Christine satisfies that fantasy in a cool and unique way for the nerd, and a painful and horrible way for the bully. The Car is one of those movies that is completely by itself even though it follows the same path as the rest of the genre. The Car takes a much darker road as it digs into the deep seated fears that most refuse to talk about... meeting Satan face to face. When presented with the inevitable nature of sin and the death attached to it, one can only have a view of sheer horror as all of these factors are presented in this one vehicle. It cannot be ignored, it cannot be damaged, it cannot be hurt, it cannot be stopped. The location is even a representation of this as it is a lonely desert town, much like purgatory is viewed, where one has nowhere to hide from their demons and those demons are driving around in a faster car than yours. All the movies on the list are good, don't get me wrong, but Christine is a special picture of a reality where the bully gets his, the nerd gets his day in the sun, and everyone learns a valuable lesson in humility... The Car on the other hand, well, ... everyone has fear, everyone has sin, everyone fears the devil, and no one wants to be faced with their deeds done in dark places or have their secrets exposed. The Car does those things but in a violent, maniacal fashion with no escape, no redemption, and no lesson to be learned. No hope is offered in the end as almost everyone dies, and those that don't are forever changed and will most likely never be the better for it. In all the other movies, including Christine, there was a reason for the action and we never know who's driving the vehicle in question or if there even is a driver. Thats scary... But in The Car, ... we literally have no idea what the reason is and boy oh boy we all know who is driving and what his particular intentions are and that my friends is far more horrifying and is evidenced by this, ... If you hear there is a child molester in your town, you get concerned. If you hear he is in you neighborhood, you feel fear. If you discover he lives on your street, you become terrified... But if you learn he is living next door, and your wife and kids are at his house, ... well my friends that is the epitome of horror. Not knowing is scary. Knowing, and being unable to do anything about it is far more terrible and one must dwell on what mistakes were made that led to such a situation. Of all the movies listed, The Car does just that.

I once saw either one of the real Cars or an amazing replica from "The Car" when I worked at a particular Country Club back in 1992. It was in the car park as I pulled in on my bicycle. It dawned on me a few days later what that would have made me do in terms of losing my bowels had it been behind me on the long lonely road up to the Club entrance, given the subject matter in the movie. I think its first two kills were cyclists. LOL!!! It was an amazing looking machine. It had a Nitrous Bottle by the dash and everything. Cool interior. Very cool thing to have seen.

Sorry to be the proverbial "Fly in the ointment". But, you really need to CHANGE the number 1 & 2 films around. Christine.... SUCKED!! I would have even left it out completely. The movie The Car was one of, if not the BEST killer car movie of all time. Despite the claim of "Cheesy Acting" you so willingly vomited out. The car was a GREAT movie & even the acting (although not the best I have seen) still added to the film being a cult classic movie. Christine was a slow moving snore fest, that had bad actors and a re-used, borrowed & re-used again story line. Then, take a close LOOK at the cars involved in the films. A simple & normal looking Plymouth, or a bad ass looking Lincoln Continental!! AND who cares about a haunted car going after a few people in a badly written film, when you can have a movie about a car that is possessed by the Devil himself, going after everyone it can kill in a small desert town?

I think to call The Car so bad it's good is to seriously undersell it. Much of what's in that film is truly scary, right down to the concept itself, that it's the Devil's car. The scene where the car flips and takes out the sheriff's car--in the days when all such stunts had to be done for real--had me and my brother goggle-eyed with amazement. And the driver's-eye-view as the sheriff fires at the windscreen is the perfect mix of visuals and audio. It's a genuinely good movie, if not quite great. And way better than Christine which misses almost everything that made King's book such a page-turner. And you can't have a list of film cars like this without at least mentioning Vanishing Point.

As a mechanic at Fantasy Cars in El Cajon CA. in the 70's and 80's I got to drive lots of movie cars. But the worst ones to drive of the bunch were your number two pick "The Car" and the bubble cars used in Woodie Allen's "Sleeper" as they had to be driven using walkie talkies! ZERO vision out from drivers seat! (Side note: I witnessed the Munster coach rolling off a ramp truck and being hit by a Buick Stationwagon on I-5, and The number one Batmobile has a 390 out of my 65 Thunderbird not the original engine used in the series. The original engine was stored with water in the block and it cracked.)

Duel also scared me, as I was a kid when I first saw it on tv during a Saturday afternoon in the early 70's. I had no idea what my sister and I had just watched at the time, but years later it's still a good movie to catch, if you can find it. It was here on KZbin in its entirety some years back.
