John Carpenter refused to go to the premiere because of a superstition. There is one way to tell which cars are the showcase hot rod cars and the stunt cars: if you look at the under grill beneath Christine's front bumper, the showcase cars have a chrome under grill while the stunt cars have a red painted under grill.
And there were "junked" and "shell" cars for the versions of Christine in disrepair or for her "death" scene. There were "hot rod" versions with souped up engines and airplane landing lights for the headlights for Christine's rampages. A few were "showcase" cars that were used whenever Christine is just sitting there "looking pretty" or whenever Arnie is driving her. By the end of filming, all but 2 were destroyed.Īccording to the filmmakers in the DVD documentary, 28 Plymouth "Furys" (which in reality were Belvederes or Savoys) were purchased and restored for the film.
The original trailer for the flick had a pretty cool twist to it and you can check that out below.ġ5% of the budget was just on the cars. Soon Arnie becomes selfish and jealous of the supernatural Christine that kills everyone that is a threat to them. While he works in the restoration, he changes his personality to a cocky teenager and he dates the most beautiful girl in the high-school, Leigh Cabot.
He brings the car to a repair shop of the despicable Will Darnell and works hard to restore the classic car. The car was given the name Christine by its first owner. Arnie immediately falls in love with the car. Twenty-one years later, the outcast and bullied nerd Arnold "Arnie" Cunningham is getting a ride with his best and only friend Dennis Guilder and he sees the wrecked car for sale in a garden. In 1957, in Detroit, a red Plymouth Fury is built and is the cause of two accidents, one of them fatal, still in the assembly line. If you’re not too familiar with the film, here’s a brief plot summary for ya. Today marks the 38th anniversary for John Carpenter’s adaptation of Stephen King novel, Christine. Once she lures you behind her wheel.You're all hers.
