8. 9/10. A solid horror movie of the 80's. John Carpenter brings this story to life with the zest he's possessed in all of his work. Keith Gordon and Alexandra Paul, who I dislike, have surprisingly good chemistry. I was impressed by how they did Christine the possessed car. The first time I saw it that car looked like it was actually alive to me. This movie should be considered one of the horror genre.
Revealing mistake: In the scene when Christine smashed repeatedly into the silver Camaro at the gas station, there is no motor in the Camaro. The hood of the Camaro gets knocked off the hinges and is twisted sideways on the car. As Christine is in reverse and dragging the Camaro along you can see down through the hood that the engine compartment is empty. Minus a transmission also, I believe. (01:15:30)
Buddy Repperton: Some shithead's following me.
Trivia: One time Alexandra Paul brought her twin sister Caroline to the set and successfully pranked director John Carpenter by having Caroline shoot a scene. Carpenter, very amused, later said he could tell there was something odd going on when they shot the scene... but couldn't quite figure out what it was.
Question: What song is playing as Christine is crushing Darnell against the steering wheel?
Answer: "I've Got A Girl Named Boney Maroney" by Larry Williams.
