A fourth car was saved from the wrecker and purchased by Martin Sanchez. If you have a copy of the first issue hard cover with the dust jacket, you will find a picture of Mr. King sitting on the hood of a Plymouth, not a , as the movie states. This one car in particular was a manual transmission. The guys on the set forgot and when they went to start her up she was in gear and lunged forward, taking out some equipment.
They were afraid that if the movie went out with a PG ranting, no one would come to see it. They were later criticized for their overuse of the word in the film. John Carpenter refused to go to the premiere because of a superstition.
Keith Gordon was nervous about kissing Alexandra Paul, so he asked her to practice first. The film was shot in the same neighborhood that John Carpenter used in the movie Halloween.
Screenwriter Bill Phillips thought it was a joke when he was first asked to adapt a book about a killer car. They must have been really big Stephen King fans… Junkins is killed by Christine near the end. Also in the book, Christine is vandalized at an airport.
Sandy Galton, an airport worker and a friend of Buddy Repperton's, serves as a lookout when Christine is vandalized. He soon skips town and at the very end is found to have been run over by a car, implying that Christine is alive again. After reading over the book, actor Keith Gordon Arnie and the costume designer came up with a visual way to show Arnie being possessed by Christine.
As the movie progresses, Arnie begins to wear clothes that reflect the era of Christine's make. At various points, especially when Arnie is yelling at Leigh on the phone, Arnie is seen wearing button up shirts open with black t-shirts, black pants, and boots like a 's "greaser.
In the book, Arnie and Dennis worked on a construction crew over the summer. This is how Arnie saved up enough money to buy Christine and explains how Dennis knows how to drive the bulldozer.
However, the book's finale does not feature a bulldozer but instead a pink septic truck named Petunia. Stephen King's idea for the final battle was two powerful "ladies" duking it out. Screenwriter Bill Phillips and rocker George Thorogood filmed a cameo appearance as the junkyard workers who compressed and dropped Christine as the cube at the end.
The sequence however was cut because neither could act very well as Phillips states in the documentary. One of the stunt Furys used in the film - the one that runs over and kills Moochie - had a rubber front end.
The car was destined for the salvage yard and has been restored using parts from the other "stunt" vehicles. The vehicle is now in private hands. In the book, Darnell's death is much more dramatic: Christine breaks into his house through a picture window and rams his staircase repeatedly as he tries to climb upstairs to get away.
Due to heart and asthmatic conditions, Darnell can barely breathe, and his heart stops, causing him to fall down the stairs, where Christine rams him over again and again. In the DVD documentary, Bill Phillips says that he cut out the novel's plot line of the dead owner's spirit possessing Arnie, and actually causing Christine to kill, not only to save time and compress the story, but also because he didn't want it to look like they were copying An American Werewolf in London where Jack does the same thing to David.
This despite the fact that in An American Werewolf in London, David is a werewolf, and Jack does not possess David or even suggest that he kill anyone other than himself.
At the climax of the movie Christine is clearly seen with a crumpled hood resembling teeth. This occurs after the initial confrontation with Dennis and the bulldozer, but before withdrawing into the shadows to reconstitute. Horror fans have speculated the unnamed assembly line supervisor who discovered Christine's second victim, and first fatality, was Will Darnell. This is based on the actor appearing about twenty years younger than actor Robert Prosky , his semi retired automotive background, and Will saying he once knew the owner of a Fury, upon seeing Christine.
Body count : 8. It is unconfirmed why Christine kills Darnell, but presumably because he knows too much that the car was not being driven by anyone. The body count was higher in the book; Roland D LeBay was the one who actually sold Christine to Arnie, dying soon afterwards.
Christine also kills Arnie's parents and Det. Plus at the end of the book there is a news report that someone whose name matches one of Buddy Repperton's former gang members was killed in a bizarre hit-and-run in a different state, implying that Christine regenerated again.

When Arnie first brings Christine to Darnell's Garage, he walks back to Dennis' car and asks him to honk his horn. In the background, the bulldozer that will be used to destroy Christine can be seen. Sign In. Over the course of his long writing career, King has penned horror stories about a wide variety of unlikely things. Graveyard Shift matches blue-collar workers against a giant rat monster.
The Mangler is about a demonic laundry machine. Maximum Overdrive sees trucks turn on their owners. Christine, the tale of a murderous Plymouth Fury, is probably the most famous instance.
Directing Christine, an adaptation of King's novel released the same year, served as a nice rebound for the career of Carpenter, who had lost the chance to direct fellow King adaptation Firestarter after his remake of The Thing bombed. As often as King's work has been adapted, there have understandably ended up being quite a few stinkers among the bunch. Christine is often hailed as one of the best, and for the most part, it stick pretty closely to the book.
One major change though comes via the backstory of the actual car.
