Darnell is a grouch but he has a big heart. He's just not from a generation that worries about hurting your feelings. He tells the truth every time and he doesn't sugarcoat it. Love this guy.
thing is, when you operate at this level, you're used to cheap bastids robbing you blind. any time i sell a car or a car part, i clean it up and ask a higher price just to avoid the cheap (not frugal, cheap) tire kickers who just annoy the @#@$ out of you.
My favorite scene in the entire film because of this scene right here. Who knew just how much we would come to miss those types. I grew up with folk who were as tough as coffin nails and as sweet as pie. They were always loving, caring, deeply humane said what they meant, meant what they said. I do it the same way.
Gotta love Darnell, true tough as nails,hard working American. He didn’t take shit from anyone. He was tough on Arnie at first because he saw him as another snot nosed kid. But he realized that he wasn’t and saw the good in him (at the time) and offered him a job and he’s the kind of person that doesn’t do that for just anyone. He stuck up for Arnie when he thought Christine had been stolen and it ended up costing him his life. One of the best characters in the movie.
Yes .Im glad they left out most of the Book depictions of characters and tone to be frank. I just see Christine as not alive so much as just a object that just has a history of weird bad things happenening around it. Like just has a aura about it. The people who brought this cloud of bad luck and negative energy, right off the Assembley line. Its obviously alive,but if you strip it away as Carpenter does to its simple essential elements. Its just the one thing this kid has that is possitive in his life in the end. Darnell was the only human who saw Arnie as a man and returned respect to him that Arnie earned. Even Dennis takes a damn screw driver to His car to give him a message. Everyone wants Arnie to be the loser he is to their own ends. His parents, Buddy and his goons, Leigh and even his own best friend see him getting confidence in himself and is already smarter than all of em. They cannot stand it. So they fuck with a hard working mans car, over and over. What did they expect his chip on the shoulder to come across when he doesnt need anybody to take care of him?..Arnie doesnt know anything anymore..Just the worst thing to say about the son that she brought up in such a way. Responsible for his social issues.. They all were shitters and Darnell saw the car drive back in..As you point out if only he didnt witness this event. I believe Arnie wouldve been Alive as well, driving his cherry out of that shithole away from all of those shitters .He would have been a successfull man with the open road of his life ahead of him. That is this movie s simple brilliance. Because it can just be about a kid learning to be a man and the tradgedy that his life was..These people just hated this kid and his car so much , because he was better than them and they knew it.If that position changed , he would have seen all their insecurities hinging on him being a loser and we have to take care of him. Sorry i just really hated how they mistook this dude getting to be a normal confident personbecause of that stupid car.They were the villians to me.
I saw an interview with Keith Gordon, and he said that the actor Robert Prosky couldn't be any different than his character in the film. He said he was the nicest guy he ever worked with, and he was very friendly and loved to tell funny stories about his acting career. He was hoping he could work with him again, but he unfortunately passed before that could happen.
I was always impressed how Christine actually had Arnie earn her through hard work. Clearly she could have repaired herself anytime.. as she did more than once later on but al this point, she really wants to see how much Arnie cares. And he does. In the book it's even better displayed: because there are some parte that Arnie repairs and some other parts that repaired themselves.. Christine sort of rewards him a little. That was nice
Christine ran on obsessive love and devotion, look how quickly she went downhill after Lebay died just six weeks before Arnie bought her. Her power came through that.
@@CycolacFan I agree with Christine running on obsessive love and devotion but.... I disagree that she went downhill "quickly" after Lebay died. I don't think "downhill" is the right word. I think she intentionally made herself look that way to lure in someone who would have the love and devotion for her. If she "looked good" already, she would only attract those with superficial intentions or those who lacked skills or lacked the mindset to learn the skills necessary to display that type of love for her.
My timing belt broke on my honda pilot and i had to clean it out t firestone....then the tow truck came to give it to the junk yard. I literally cried like i lost my best friend. I wish it would had repaired itself too.
As much as this is a horror movie, I think it's a great love story too. Arnie grew to love Christine and she Arnie. Once he put the work into restoring her, there was no turning back.
Darnell is one of the funniest characters in film. He's absolutely obsessed with all things scatological. In under four minutes, he mentions shit at least a half-dozen times; a turd; an ass hole; the crapper (and the gold key to it); and even toilet paper.
Darnell is alright. Rough bloke, but I bet the pay cheque is always on time and correct. In my teenage years, I worked for someone like him. He's the good sort. I long for that world. Too many glossy HR types, all smiley, but would take advantage of you in a heartbeat. We need more Darnell's in the world.
The dialogue in Darnell’s garage is hilarious. Gold key to the crapper, mechanical asshole, brand new wipers for a busted windshield and you can’t polish a turd are highlights.
Nope. You'd have to lived through his generation and gone through hardships. You're probably a coddled trophy kid, with a wishful statement like that. 🤣🤣
@@damone70 really vato. ? U dont know me so dont let the humor fool u. Im not no keyboard warrior either or a lil wanna be troll like yourself. But I really wish u were in my presence while saying that little comment. I bet you wont. Even better I wish u were in my cell with me and telling me that little comment. U catch my drift. Watch who u try to fuck with boy. Sweet dreams .
You can even see him smile when he says he will throw in a few bucks. I think he saw his younger self in arnie and kind of connected with him for that, combined with how ruthlessly hard he worked to restore the car.
That moment when you realize the comically profane Darnell is Johnathan Lundy in Mrs. Doubtfire, and the well-meaning Priest that helps out Sean Astin in Rudy. Talk about talent! The man is a chameleon!
Robert Prosky was an amazing actor. He played his part in this movie so perfectly. Playbill a monthly magazine for theatregoers described him: He was best suited to playing salt-of-the-earth characters, sometimes with a mischievous or slightly sinister edge.
The end of this scene perfectly captures one man's inexplicable, yet intensely real, love affair with his car. When I was a kid, I knew I would be like Arnie's character, in this scene, hopelessly enamored with a car that was made before I was, in my case a 1959 Chevrolet Impala. It's all I ever wanted when I was a kid. Do cars have souls? To some of us they do.
I feel you. I recently got a '58 Ford Edsel Ranger, haven't had it for more than a couple months, and I already feel an emotional connection with my own car, lol. Just gotta get it runnin' so I can drive something that's actually good when I get my permit.
I might even throw in a few bucks... Maybe deep inside Will Darnell was a good man. He was trying in some way to help Arnie in his endeavor to fix Christine. This movie is so precious to me. I never gets tired of watching it.
The reason Christine kills Darnell is because Darnell knows too much and the book Darnell sees Christine driving to his shop alone with nobody in the car that's the reason she kills him he knows too much
Another deleted scene in this, when Arnie returns to the workshop with the hubcap. Darnell throws insults at Arnie, also mentioning he is not longer wearing glasses, while the perfectly OK Pepper asks Arnie while he's in the yard to look for a grille for a 1930s car he's restoring (make unsure about), leaving the scene soon after leaving Arnie & Darnell alone, which goes to the scene shown. Would have made sense if that was left in the final cut, like all the other deleted scenes.
Love the book and the movie. Amazing that a plot line like this can even float but it's perhaps testament to the talents involved in both projects. Darnell is hilarious, although if i remember correctly he's not quite so lovable in the novel.
I would have jumped on Darnell's offer, and said "Thank you, sir!" and started cleaning crappers. Does this kid have any idea of the price of vintage iron?
I would have been all over it. He responded like someone of my son's video game generation! I would have said yes sir, shaken his hand, and accepted the deal.
Arnie did most of the restoration by driving Christine around the junkyard, and utilized her backwards running odometer to rejuvenate her. Notice that in this video, Arnie isn't wearing his glasses. Christine's odometer has rejuvenated his eyes, so that he doesn't need them anymore. The starboard side of the grille has been replaced, but not the port side. The port headlights have been replaced, and he's put on new windshield wipers. The windshield still has the spiderweb crack in the starboard side.
@@rapturesnext2004 You're saying I'm a captain because of my use of the nautical terms, "Port & Starboard". I started using the nautical terms when I became as obsessed with the Titanic as I am with Christine. I'm also a mate's chair buff. I'm fond of mate's chairs because of their distinctive guitar shaped seats, and when I was growing up, there were two periods when Pizza Hut had them in their old restaurants. Mate's chairs are nautical because they originated in ship mess halls for the ship mate's to sit in. The captain sat in the arm chair that was the captain's chair.
Gosh I love Will Darnell. To the point that many of my accounts on real car, plastic model car and diecast sites are called Darnell's Garage or Darnell's Auto Wrecking
lol....yea yea.....this is one of my favorite Stephen King movies since age 11. My father was the one that told me about it. Today, I dont think this generation will think this would understand the concept of this movie
It's actually kinda sad how old Darnell died. He got to admiring, respecting and even liking the kid but ended up in the wrong place at the worst time.
I agree,and I can see this seguing into a state of the union address inviting ALL americans to scrounge through that figurative "shitpile out back" in a portrait of unity and quest for prosperity.
My dad bought a an old Xtype Jag for spares or repairs some months ago, sadly it was a knon runner and it had to be scrapped. I tell you something though the moment i sore that car i fell in love with it. Previous owners never looked after it which was one of the reasons it had to be scrapped. We were going to fix her up and get her back on the road, it did look pretty scrappy but to me it was luxurious scrap. It broke my heart when we had to get it scrapped. BUT im pleased to say we bought another, she's a good runner aswell silver in great condition. She will be treated like royalty.
"Well, don't think about it too long or I'll throw you out on your f--kin' ass!". The way Darnell softens the tiniest bit as he makes his offer to Arnie, only to flip right back to perfect hostility after Arnie drops the ball... it will never not be funny. Robert Prosky was brilliant.
"Don't think about it too long I'll throw you out on yer fucken ass" Gets me everytime 🤣
My old man loved that line, said one of his shipmates used to say something similar in the 60’s
My Older Bro still says that to me 2 times a week😂😂
Robert Prosky steals this move. Darnell is so profane and vulgar, it's hard to not like him. Every line he says is just pure gold.
Yep!
Darnell’s voice is just as good as ted Williams
Couldn't agree more Josh. He put in a stellar performance. It's not only what he says in the film, it's how he delivers it. Pure class.
You lookin to talk ya buddy right outta here chuck? Then shut your piehole. I know a creep when I see one. I think I’m lookin at one right now.
Yep. Pure gold. I want an entire movie about Darnell.
"You can't polish a turd." Poor Darnell, that remark will cost your life. Christine didn't like it.
i thought it was because he sayd bad taste in cars
Actually it was because he found out her secret
Darnell was being nice with his offer trying to help out Arnie. Shame he died the way he did . Poor dude.
Not to mention the "gold key to the crapper accusation" ......
@@kenw.1112 It is unfortunate,this turning of the proverbial tables,as far the rhetoric "gold key" subcategory.....
1:41 Darnell shows us his sensitive side. "Look...I know you ain't exactly got money fallin' outta yer asshole."
Lmao 🤣
“If ya did ya wouldn’t be here”
People have different ways of show their feeling
😂😂
"You know, when I said you could scrounge through that shitpile out back, I didn't mean you could build your whole fuckin car with my stuff" 😂😂😂
Lmfao!! 🤣
Darnell is a grouch but he has a big heart. He's just not from a generation that worries about hurting your feelings. He tells the truth every time and he doesn't sugarcoat it.

He understands the customer isn’t always right.

Darnell is a wretch who had mafia connections and ran drugs. The garage was his front

You got a Solid point. It's a Love Story with a Twist !!!
And the fine line between love and obsession.
Love is it’s own reward.
Technically, Arnie did not restore the car, he drove around slowly in the junkyard while the odometer rolled backwards and the car restored itself.
The way he said "he's done all this shit in 3 weeks" lol
2:22 a little smile from Darnell, like a father being proud of his son
Yeah, before he threw him out on his f'n ass!
With every day that passes I’m starting to become more and more like Darnell ...
Darnell is one of the funniest characters in film. He's absolutely obsessed with all things scatological. In under four minutes, he mentions shit at least a half-dozen times; a turd; an ass hole; the crapper (and the gold key to it); and even toilet paper.
I know, he's just too much! I was actually kind of sad when he died, the film just wasn't the same without his comedic presence!
CEOkiller
But remember no shitter gets between Arnie and Christine.
+CEOkiller Uh-oh, we've got another character obsessed with all things scatological here XD.
lol, that made me laugh really hard!
Probably a turd in his large Coke!

Too many glossy HR types, all smiley, but would take advantage of you in a heartbeat. We need more Darnell's in the world.
Agreed. Last I saw someone such as him was this gruff old night watchman at one of my old workplaces.
"You can't polish a turd" 😂😂😂 darnell might be the funniest character in the movie.
We need more Darnells in the world to keep us straight.....amen
In this day an age, the average young man would run crying to his mama if he was approached by a man like this.
you need another man to keep you straight? also stewart you're thinking too highly of your generation you aren't as tough and bad as you think.
exactly. screw N's and feminists. oh yes and muslims
I love when Darnell tries to be all charitable and arnie shuts him down. Lol
Yes he dug deep for that bit of kindness only to hear yea I'll think about it.
Funny as hell
I love him hes so funny
Nice one Arny, Kick a man when he's trying to help you, Great Music from Johnny Ace, Who did Pledging my love from 1954

Same! He's hilarious as heck
Darnell cracks me up in this, RIP Robert Prosky
0:33-00:40 That's probably why Christine killed him, I always wondered why he was killed so I guess I forgot he said that
The casting of this film is extraordinary!!!!!! Whoever cast Darnell, hope they got a promotion.

Av watched this so many times and I never tire off it. Never will.
I treat my car the way he treat his 💯♥️ i just wish mine was alive lol
Well don't think about it too long.....LOL
I remember the first time i seen this movie i could not stop laughing at Darnells patter He reminded me of my old boss!
If you have only seen the movie, READ THE BOOK!
I have the book....too bad the book is much scarier than the movie.
So true. Wish there was a movie that followed the book.

Darnell didn't deserve it one bit. Great film though. Loved it.
RIP Will Darnell aka Robert Prosky!!!
Died in both the movie and irl
It's actually kinda sad how old Darnell died. He got to admiring, respecting and even liking the kid but ended up in the wrong place at the worst time.

The look on Darnell’s face at the end 😂😂😂😂😂
I watched this movie many times. It's a great Steven King story.🚗
"You can't polish a turd" - I would say the same thing to people who thought old Qualcomm stadium here in San Diego could be remodeled.
I love this whole movie since I'm a little kid. I will probably add all the clips
Who else thinks Darnell is giving Arnie LeBay's old job?
AEA he is. The book made that clear.
Darnell was a good person
I saw this movie as a kid and wore out the vhs tape. I watched it so many times
Robert Prosky was the only guy that could act in this film!
I love Darnell
He must have a bunch of old Plymouth furys in the junkpile
Thats a beautiful embrace at the end there
Can't believe he was only in his 50s here. Prosky looked older.
Robert Prosky (1930 - 2008)
I love that song at the end
pledging my Love by Johnny Ace ♠️
I agree,and I can see this seguing into a state of the union address inviting ALL americans to scrounge through that figurative "shitpile out back" in a portrait of unity and quest for prosperity.
When u love something, you,ll do anything.
My dad bought a an old Xtype Jag for spares or repairs some months ago, sadly it was a knon runner and it had to be scrapped. I tell you something though the moment i sore that car i fell in love with it. Previous owners never looked after it which was one of the reasons it had to be scrapped. We were going to fix her up and get her back on the road, it did look pretty scrappy but to me it was luxurious scrap. It broke my heart when we had to get it scrapped. BUT im pleased to say we bought another, she's a good runner aswell silver in great condition. She will be treated like royalty.
"well don't think about it too long, i'll throw you out on your fuckin' ass". LOL
"Well, don't think about it too long or I'll throw you out on your f--kin' ass!". The way Darnell softens the tiniest bit as he makes his offer to Arnie, only to flip right back to perfect hostility after Arnie drops the ball... it will never not be funny. Robert Prosky was brilliant.
If you read the book, nobody came as close to the book charactor as he did, he freaking killed playing darnell, especially when they first met him.
boy forgot. himself,started thinkin he had the gold key to the crapper.
