Christine - Bad to the Bone

Opening scene from the movie 𝘊𝘩𝘳𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘦

[NYWF]

Today marks the 40th Anniversary Theatrical Release of "Christine" on December 9, 1983. I was 19 years old at the time, and I went to see the film three times! It is my second all-time favorite movie (my most favorite of all-time is "Back to the Future"). I could watch this opening sequence a hundred times, and it would never get old!!

Classic Christine, one of the greatest movies ever

I prefer the idea of Christine being born evil rather than her being possessed by her previous owner.

Christine is the ultimate femme fatale

Most awesome opening to a movie ever!!!

Brand-new, she was. She had the smell of a brand-new car. That's just about the finest smell in the world.

[SLOTHSRIDEUNICORNS]

This makes her story even more chilling.

The most badass movie intro EVER

I like how the factory workers are literally ignoring the fact that Christine is rolling off the assembly line with her boss music already in progress

[stargazerlaurent]

I like to think Christine was actually in Maximum Overdrive the whole time

[gruntworker]

Christine you are such a beautiful woman ❤

[BonnieBugsy]

Fellow at the end forgot the Number 1 rule of meeting a classy lady: look all you want, but you can't touch!

Gives new meaning to "the hood."

It is sad that nearly all dose Christines where destroyed during movieproduction... Cool that that one on the assemblyline survived till today.🤗

People always call Christine a Plymouth fury, when she’s a Plymouth Belvedere. And there’s a few things to differentiate her from a fury:
1. The colors are red and white. Furys were only offered in buckskin beige and gold.
2. There’s no lettering on the tail fins that says “Fury”. It’s a very distinct badge.
3. If we’re talking about the book’s car, she’s a 4 door. Not a 2 door. Furys are only 2 doors, and lo and behold, Belvederes were offered with 4 doors.

It's funny that at the moment I'm seeing this it has 666 visits

My Ford Ranger did this. I wish more people talked about it.

I love how the intro sounds like you're in a car.

Should’ve known better than to put his hand in a pinch point. Those spring hinges were notorious for failure. The newer gas struts are even worse. I drive a 99 ram with spring hinges and always prop the hood. When they fail there is no warning.

I think this was the first time this song appeared in a movie
