Trivia
15% of the budget was just on the cars. By the end of filming, all but 2 were destroyed.

Goofs
When Christine smashes into the silver Camaro at the gas station, the hood of the Camaro gets knocked off the hinges and twisted sideways. As Christine reverses and drags the Camaro backward, you can see down through the hood that the engine compartment is empty. Minus a transmission, as well.

Quotes
Arnie Cunningham: Okay... show me.

Crazy credits
In the opening credits when the titles are appearing, Christine's engine can be heard.

Alternate versions
There was a home video release during the 1980s that was an extended cut which included many of the deleted scenes found on the Special Edition DVD.

Another Under-appreciated Gem From John Carpenter

Tense, thrilling, reeking of terror & delivering the goods in a gripping fashion, John Carpenter's Christine is far more engaging & nail-biting than it looks, and appears just as polished today as it did at its time of release. Another impressive yet under-appreciated gem from The Horror Master that's well worthy of its cult following.
