They're remaking it, Blumhouse. It's either going to be really good, or really bad. That studio has come out with some great horror films, like the Conjuring series, but they also made Paranormal Activity and The Purge.
Today marks the 40th Anniversary Theatrical Release of "Christine" on December 9, 1983. I was 19 years old at the time, and I went to see the film three times! It is my second all-time favorite movie (my most favorite of all-time is "Back to the Future"). I could watch this opening sequence a hundred times, and it would never get old!!
Well, in the Stephen King Universe a majority of his stories co-exist. So, it's not too farfetched that Christine would join in the killer car uprising.
People always call Christine a Plymouth fury, when she’s a Plymouth Belvedere. And there’s a few things to differentiate her from a fury: 1. The colors are red and white. Furys were only offered in buckskin beige and gold. 2. There’s no lettering on the tail fins that says “Fury”. It’s a very distinct badge. 3. If we’re talking about the book’s car, she’s a 4 door. Not a 2 door. Furys are only 2 doors, and lo and behold, Belvederes were offered with 4 doors.
She was a special order car, so she's '57 fury in Imperial Red with White. Her badges clearly said Fury and Plymouth in the correct areas. My Grandmother had a '57 Fury in Black that she ordered from the factory in those colors with badges, She also had cow leather died black for the entire interior. Cost her $1600 to do it, $1600 to to make your car truly yours, that like what $20k now? The car was black on black. So don't tell me that Cristine wasn't a special order Red on Red. I know where you are coming from, but I must insist this is a custom order car from an unknown buyer at the time. In those times, you could "walk your car through to make it how you want" now you just tell them what you want and hope for the best.
My dad had the actual model christine was actually it was a 1958 plymouth belvedeer 2 door in red and white he had the car from October 1957 till august 1965
@@Danielbulldog That's actually pretty awesome. A shame he no longer has it, as that would've been one amazing vehicle to have a single-owner title to.
My ford ranger played "today was a good day" by ice cube after we bought it and trailered it home and washed it. That was the first time I ever turned the radio on
I wish they did a remake of this film. That would have been really cool to see. And to be honest, if I ever found Christine in real life, I’d buy her in a heartbeat. I mean, come on. Who wouldn’t want a car that can drive on its own and even repair itself?
Should’ve known better than to put his hand in a pinch point. Those spring hinges were notorious for failure. The newer gas struts are even worse. I drive a 99 ram with spring hinges and always prop the hood. When they fail there is no warning.
One small question: Is there any explanation at all, as to why every Plymouth Fury on the assembly line -- except for Christine -- is precisely the same color? Or was she painted ahead of time just so the viewer can pick her out?
This song playing in this movie is a big anachronism. The beginning of the movie is set in 1957, while the rest of the movie is set in 1978. The song "Bad to the Bone" didn't come out until 1982. Why did John Carpenter decide to play a 1980s song in a 1950s flashback of a story set in the 1970s? Ow. My brain is starting to hurt. Seriously, this has always bothered me.
Because christine was born "bad to the bone...." She's broken a thousand hearts, and she'll break a thousand more... I think those lyrics are very fitting for this scene

Probably had mercury vapor bulbs with ballast in the plant back then on 277v!

I prefer the idea of Christine being born evil rather than her being possessed by her previous owner.

Well in fact of possession possessed items is her only existence you would kill the eternal flame of her

Christine is the ultimate femme fatale
she's kinda hot too😅
She fits this trope to a t
Brand-new, she was. She had the smell of a brand-new car. That's just about the finest smell in the world.
Except 🐱

The most badass movie intro EVER
ACOJONANTE
Id give it to Terminator 2 but hey, this is up there.
@@dwaterson21 That is too cliche
Did GM use 4160v 4 wire wye power then?
Most awesome opening to a movie ever!!!
I like how the factory workers are literally ignoring the fact that Christine is rolling off the assembly line with her boss music already in progress
Christine you are such a beautiful woman ❤
I like to think Christine was actually in Maximum Overdrive the whole time

Fellow at the end forgot the Number 1 rule of meeting a classy lady: look all you want, but you can't touch!
I love her❤❤❤❤❤
Gives new meaning to "the hood."

Thanks kakaka
Terminator has nothing on good old Christine.
T2 and this are probably mostly the reason for the Bad To The Bone trope

This was a scary movie. Based on the book by Stephen King. Meet Christine.
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Bad to the bone
La mejor película con un auto de protagonista 😎
nice car
As we watch this the remains of the once proud Chrysler Corp are swirling around the drain thanks to Stellantis!
If you look closely,you'll notice the cut out in the hood where it hits the employ's hand.

2:19 youre telling me this car from 1958 had hood struts instead of a support rod?
....Yes! :D
i kinda wish they show something like a daemon from hell possessing her
And they remake fuckin' Firestarter?! 🙄🙄🙄
They’re making one for this

that's a good point, I think they should've played great balls of fire by jerry lee lewis that's a fitting tune from 1957
