      No doubt Christine's demonic female entity that possessed the 1958 Plymouth Fury (Christine was a succubus in my personal fan made theory and analysis of Christine as a sentient evil object and entity that possessed a Plymouth Fury on the vehicle assembly line in the 1950's.) A succubus typically being a female demon that seduces human men in their sleep, except Christine possessed the first Plymouth Fury on its assembly line in 1958, used the car she possessed as a vessel to seduce and possess her male human owners. Christine possessed supernatural powers and abilities including complete invincibility, regenerative abilities, supernatural force powered speed, and Christine in the book also absorbed the human souls of her victims as eternally imprisoned, enslaved and trapped ghost passengers. Christine couldn't be killed or destroyed. No doubt Christine eventually hunted down both Dennis and Leigh across the country and inevitably killed both survivors. As well as Roland Lebay's younger elderly brother George Lebay etc.

      @@JeffTheHokie I believe Christine herself and her demonic, malevolent female entity that possessed the 1958 Plymouth Fury on the vehicle manufacturing assembly line when she was first built, was a succubus/female demon that seduces mortal men in their sleep, except Christine possessed a vehicle, the first 1958 Plymouth Fury on the vehicle assembly line, and seduced and possessed the living male human owners of the Plymouth Fury she possessed. Including the already mentally ill, born evil and twisted, cruel Roland D. Lebay, Arnie etc. In both the book by Stephen King and Carpenter's 1983 Hollywood movie adaption of Stephen King's Christine, Christine herself was always alive, sentient and possessed with a self-aware mind, supernatural powers and abilities, a jealous, vengeful, raging, murderous female personality and demonic spirit of her own. Roland D. Lebay while alive sacrificed his wife and their infant daughter Rita to Christine to possess Christine in the afterlife after his would be mortal death and be immortal. Either having attacked and incapacitated his wife to place Mrs. Lebay inside of Christine's driver's seat so that Christine could kill his wife, whose death Lebay staged as carbon monoxide poisoning and suicide. After elderly Roland Lebay sold Christine to Arnie, he died and possessed both Christine and Arnie as well the more time Arnie spent driving and repairing Christine. Possessing Arnie's body when he was away from Christine unless he was either asleep, or working and Lebay's ghost drove Christine to kill her/their victims and enemies.

    It's actually explained in the book why Christine is a red, white and silver 1958 model instead of the standard beige on gold that was on offer, it's because Christine's original owner, George Lebay, custom-ordered the car through the factory... Also as been mentioned in other comments, in the book the car is the four door hardtop Belvedere while in the film it's the two door hardtop

      In the book it's a Fury too, but they mention it's a 4 door, which didn't exist in 1958 but did exist for 1959 when a sedan was added to the Fury range. I've wondered if King didn't have a 1959 Plymouth in mind when the book was written.

      Yes. More so in the book. The malevolent ghost of Christine's original former owner, Roland D. Lebay, possessed Arnie next to Christine after Lebay sells Christine to Arnie and dies later in the book. As Arnie continues driving Christine, he becomes more possessed by Lebay's evil spirit. Lebay possesses Arnie when he isn't driving Christine and when Arnie is behind the wheel as well. In Carpenter's film its the sentient demonic female entity of Christine herself alone that takes over Arnie. But Christine was always sentient/self aware and alive from the day Christine was built on the assembly line in the 1950's. In both the book and movie. Roland D. Lebay himself sacrificed his wife and their infant daughter to Christine to bound/merge his soul into Christine so he could possess Christine in the afterlife. Lebay was the ghost driver of Christine aside from her self aware demonic female entity that possessed the Plymouth Fury.

    Fun fact: Christine is inspired by a (supposedly) real story about a dodge 330 limited edition version Called the golden eagle which was used as a police car and all 3 officers who drove it went home and killed all their families then themselves, it was then purchased by a collector of haunted cars and lots of people who had heard of the story of the officers vandalised the car and every single one of them were killed in horrific ways. One person was decapitated by an 18 wheeler and another person was struck by lightning, the car never drove itself but everyone who messed with it was killed. Eventually one day, a small group of people completely tear apart the car and spread the parts throughout several different junkyards but the owner got help from people online and mostly reassembled it. There are probably some possible explanations for this story but I don’t know
    It may have a kill count in the movie of 7 but in real life it has a kill count of 14

    • @castortroy1727

      I believe the sentient/self-aware demonic female entity and supernatural power of Christine, in both the book by Stephen King, and John Carpenter's 1983 Hollywood film adaption of Stephen King's Christine, was a succubus. A female demonic entity that seduces sleeping mortal human men in mythology but except Christine herself instead possessed the first 1958 Plymouth Fury car built on the assembly line in the 1950's. Christine possessed her first, original and former owner, Roland D. Lebay. Who was born evil, mentally ill and unstable in the book from the beginning of his life, and a cruel, sadistic, mean-spirited, angry, violent man and a sociopath that abused all those who knew him including his younger brother, George Lebay. Lebay sacrificed his wife and their infant daughter Rita to Christine as a double human sacrifice to make himself immortal and possess Christine in the afterlife. After elderly Roland D. Lebay dies in the book, Roland's evil mortal ghost possessed Christine and acted as her unseen phantom driver killing their victims and enemies or Arnie's tormentors, Buddy Repperton and his gang members.

      Rollie sells the car, the whole zombie thing, the crazy time distortion drive, the fact that we're not dealing with an evil car, but an actual spirit, the fact that Arnie dies somewhere else entirely, the internal struggle; all is lost here.

      Eeehhh...I can see why someone would use this as a bargaining tactic. It's a high-risk, high-reward method for sure, but if you're dealing with a serious collector, it sets you up as a possible kindred spirit, in the hopes of endearing yourself to the seller. Despite the counter-intuition of it, this line can actually work, though, especially when you're dealing with an item that, either due to condition or a miniscule niche market, can get you a better deal than cutthroat negotiation.
      Seriously, folks, watch some American Pickers; they pull this kind of line all the time.

It shocks them seeing someone relatively young so enamored with these old devices and my collection. Telling them how valuable their item it is to them make them realize that at least it goes to someone young and that will take care of it even when they will not be here anymore

    I've always loved Christine. The movie deals with obsession, materialism, and toxic relationships if you think about it. Arnie's friendship with a jock may seem unlikely unless you frame it as a long running friendship since they were young kids. I knew plenty of guys who stuck together as friends long after their interests started to change. So a jock and a nerd being friends is not only a nice change of pace, it's also a bit more tragic when Arnie dies. This movie is more than just an "evil car" movie to me.

    Fun fact: The '58 Plymouth Furies used in the film were mostly actually Belvedere and Savoy models modified to look like Furies. As James said, the 1958 Furies only came in Buckskin Beige; and they were expensive as hell and very rare even then.
    In fact, the car described in the novel does not match a 1958 Plymouth Fury, being described as a 4-door while 1958 Furies only came in 2-door.

    • @patrickracer43
      @patrickracer43 Před rokem +11

      For 1958, the Fury was a option for the Belvedere, with a more sportier emphasis, kinda like the Volkswagen Golf GTi or the Dodge Charger and Challenger SRT Hellcat models, in 1959 the Fury became it's own model... Also the design of the late 50s Plymouths were a hit

    Yeah! Thank you! I love this movie! The visuals, the music, the Carpenter of it all. The "Show me" scene is amazing, the way the music cues when the headlights turn on. I think it's also a very good adaptation of the book. Speaking of which, I do like the book. It's entertaining and doesn't feel it's length. As for LeBay: in the book Arnie buys the car from Roland LeBay himself (not dead). Later on when Dennis goes back to LeBay he learns that he has died. He then meets his brother George who gives him the information about the car and LeBay's wife and daughter. From a screenwriting standpoint it makes sense to combine the two characters. The book also strongly points toward Christine being possessed by LeBay's spirit. I can't remember how the deaths of the wife and daughter connect to that, though.

    Stephen King is the only person who is able to make a car horrifying. In the movie, when Christine explodes the gas station, you can her personality as she drives away without a car. The movie gave her a personality even though she is a car.
