carfan ◊ 07-09-2005 à 22:05	They don't make ford cortinas in the usa in the movie the back looked like the ones from a volvo or datsun, that is if you meant the yellow car in the garage at the beginning of the movie -- Last edit: 2005-09-07 22:07:41
antp ◊ 07-09-2005 à 22:15	I do not know which one it should be since there is no picture, but even if they do not make Cortina in USA it could have been imported by somebody. A Cortina is listed for "Gone in 60 seconds (1974)", which is a US movie: http://www.imcdb.org/vehicle_5818
carfan ◊ 2005-11-01 21:29	sorry, I guess your right
Saturn Simon ◊ 2005-11-02 18:58	They did sell the British-built mark 1 and mark 2 Cortinas in the USA through US Ford dealerships.
LH ◊ 2005-11-25 00:23	At the end of the movie were The two chareters try and destroy Christine. The make of the bulldozer is a caterpiller. -- Last edit: 2005-11-25 00:23:51
carchasesfanatic ◊ 2005-12-28 12:59	What kind of Jeep Cherokee is the orange one :S ?? an american model only sold there??
explorer4x4 ◊ 2006-03-23 21:50	Trivia and goofs: 2 other Plymouth models were used in the movie, the Belvedere and Savoy to portray the Fury Christine is a 58' Fury, Chirsine is refered to, in the book, as a four door sedan. Plymouth Fury's were a smaller model of the Savoy. They were only availible as two door models up intill 1959. In the book, Christine is said to have Hydramatic transmission. The Fury only had TorqueFlite transmission. Plymouth was a division of the Chrysler Motor Corp. Hydramatic was a General Motors transmission. Although Plymouth Fury's were availible as special orders, and Christine was said to be a Special Order, alot of the differences between Christine and regualar Furys were not availible as special orders, like Hydramatic transmission and the 4 door model. When Christine locks her doors and atempts to murder Leigh Cabot, the locks are located by the windows, Furys had their locks by the door handle.
carchasesfanatic ◊ 2006-04-10 22:40	any car action in this movie??
antp ◊ 2006-04-10 22:52	That's somewhat the basis of the movie... it is worth watching for anybody that likes movies with cars (well, that's not a movie with chases and lots of accidents, but you must have seen that movie ) -- Last edit: 2006-04-10 22:53:32
explorer4x4 ◊ 2006-04-11 03:57	carchasesfanatic wrote any car action in this movie?? 2 car chases (1 when Christine, Plymouth Fury, is chasing down a bully and 1 when Christine chases Reperton in and out of his blue Camaro), 1 explosion (the picture of the Chevy C-30) and loads of car wrecks including the part where Christine is ran over with a Caterpiller (not listed).
explorer4x4 ◊ 2006-05-15 18:19	And on one of the book covers of the hardback edition, on the front is a large Plymouth sedan. Too big to be a Belvedere or Fury. So it was either a Savoy or Plaza, this isn't the American edition and I am not sure exactly what country got this version.
BeanBandit ◊ 2006-05-15 20:06	Worst Christine book covers I could find: A convertible with connie kit? http://bilder.buecher.de/produkte/000000322/000000322314n.jpg http://www.bookline.hu/bimg/tn/TN_1111002592062.JPG http://www.kkkk.pl/ksiazki/images/okladki/duze/christine1.jpg http://tienda.cyberdark.net/ximg/opImg/s9.jpg http://i4.ebayimg.com/02/i/05/51/be/eb_2.JPG
Explorer4X4 ◊ 2006-05-15 21:15	wow, and I thought putting a Savoy/Plaza instead of a Fury was bad.
qwerty_86 ◊ 2006-05-15 21:28	I have a hardcover edition from the early '80s. The back cover of the dust jacket shows a picture of King sitting on the hood a '57 Plymouth. the front cover has a skull on top of the word "Christine" which is stylized to look like a chrome emblem.
spoon ◊ 2006-05-16 13:42	got to love 50's american cars chrome fins and bucket loads of horsepower we didnt get furys in australia to the 1970's and then they were badged as dodge phoenixes we only got the belvedere 4 door

BeanBandit ◊ 2006-05-16 15:27	junkman wrote Yes, a '56 Thunderbird. The connie kit was standard equipment on them. And Christine was a 1958 Plymouth Fury, a 2door HT without connie kit!

Explorer4X4 ◊ 2006-06-16 18:36	Awsome soundtrack: Bad to the Bone by George Thorogood Rock and Roll is Here to Stay by Danny and the Juniors Forever my Darling by Johnney Ace Beast of Burden by The Rolling Stones Keep a Knocking by Little Richard Come on, Lets Go by Ritchie Valens
qwerty_86 ◊ 2006-06-17 07:31	Yeah, it had a sweet soundtrack. Loved the older '50s music they used. That Buddy Holly song sticks in my head the most. But you can't beat the revving at the beginning of the movie. That just gave me feelings of euphoria!
Carlover ◊ 2006-12-19 15:34	I'M IN LOVE WITH CHRISTINE! SHE IS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL CAR I HAVE EVER SEEN! Oh yeah, Explorer4X4, Christine's model is a Belverde, not a Fury, like always assumed. How this comes? Fury's were delivered in only, and note: ONLY, burkskin beige interior, white body and silver trim. And although no model ever had the paint and striping similiar to Christine, a lot of colours were available on the Belverde. Greets, a Christine-fan
Explorer4x4 ◊ 2006-12-19 16:56	I did not know that. May or may not be true. But Furys also did not come in that tone red, so it was obviously custom painted. So it may also apply to the interior. I do know other model 1958 Plymouths were (supposedly) used in the movie.
qwerty_86 ◊ 2006-12-21 04:41	In the book, he mentions it was custom ordered in Ford Red IIRC.
Explorer4x4 ◊ 2007-01-12 06:08	My sister says that they say the 'F Word' way too many times in Christine. Oh, and she says that Arnie Cunningham is really weird. lol
knghtmat ◊ 2007-01-13 00:07	The real trailer, here she is. http://youtube.com/watch?v=aJ5M11m9vI0
DeLorean ◊ 2007-02-03 22:52	In scarface the "F" word is used 200times

Greets, a Christine-fan Christine is actually a combination of a Belvedere and a Fury. A Fury did never ever have a silver trim, but a gold one. Same goes for the grill and the hubcaps. Also the speedometer went up to 150 mph. It also had a goldcoloured engineblock. Greetings TexasDriver.
Stampede1975 ◊ 2007-04-20 00:24	What was the car that was driving on the other side of the road when Artie yelled out "CHICKEN S---!" It appears to be a mid 1970s Oldsmobile 2 door coupe
Leoz ◊ 2008-03-18 18:42	Either an Oldsmobile or seventies Buick Riviera.
Leoz ◊ 2008-03-31 21:14	Arnie Cunningham is the best character ever! This John Travolta lookalike was good. Alexandra Paul:
transam ◊ 2008-04-07 01:51	In the book Christine was Autum Red. In the movie she was Kosmos red, I think. To find out more on Christine, here's a link: www.ChristineCarClub.com/ -- Last edit: 2008-04-07 01:56:35
carfan ◊ 2008-04-10 03:25	There's a remake in the works. I hope the story is more accurate to the book. They better not destroy such nice cars, they should use CGI or something when Christine recieves damage. people want them to use brand new cars (i've seen people suggest the newer dodge charger and the 2009 camaro). People, the the story is about a teen who buys an OLD car, remember that. -- Last edit: 2008-04-24 23:53:59
Leoz ◊ 2008-04-30 20:29	I'm happy to hear that. Yet, less cars should be used in crashes or wild chases, but they should still have a '58 Fury.

leoz ◊ 2008-08-21 17:46	Some more cars here: 1960 Chevrolet Bel Air (only four lights at back so not an Impala), : The car that pulled into the garage in which Dennis & Leigh thought was Christine (possibly a 1978 Saab 900), : Far Background: I hope this talk of a remake is true, yet I never really thought they'd try to remake Christine, it's an irreplacable cult classic thriller! -- Last edit: 2008-08-26 21:27:28
dav ◊ 2009-03-09 10:14	what about arnie's mum's car at the beginging? It was a yellow ... four-door car
MoparCzy ◊ 2010-02-07 03:40	In 1958 the base model Plymouths were the Plaza/Deluxe Suburban followed by the Savoy/Custom Suburban and the top of the line was the Belvedere/Sport Suburban/Fury. The Suburbans were the station wagons. The Fury was a sub-model of the Belvedere and was only available as a high performance sport coupe. In 1959 the models were slightly renamed, with the Plaza being dropped, the Savoy becoming the base model, the Belvedere becoming the midline model and the Fury being the top of the line car. So in 1958 you could only get a Fury as a two door, but in 1959 you could get it in either 2 or 4 door. The 59 Sport Fury did have a continental style applique on the trunk lid probably not a true spare tire under it, just an appearance item. As an additional piece of information, the Plaza, Savoy, and Belvedere were all named for hotels.
