Continuity mistake: When Christine is fixing herself after the guys smashed her up, her front end is shown to be perfectly straight for its entire width and the hood is missing. Near the end of the scene, the front end is shown crushed and unfolds again, and the hood appears from nowhere.

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.

Trivia: When Arnie and Leigh discover that the car has been trashed at Darnell's Garage and Arnie suddenly turns on Leigh, yelling at her and shoving her backwards, note the look of shock on her face - it's real. Keith Gordon (Arnie) explains on the DVD that in rehearsing the scene, he purposely didn't react as violently, so when the scene was shot, his behavior change actually shocked Alexandra Paul (Leigh).
