I have great dislike for “Christine” cars, nearly as much as I hate General Lee Chargers.
Too bad Stephen King never really looked into what a 1958 Fury was. Then maybe he would not have written about how Arnold Cunningham “slid into the seat and moved the shift lever to drive”.
I don’t know if any real Fury’s gave their lives to be a short-time movie star but several Belvedere’s and other 1958 Plymouth’s did. And how many 1969 Charger’s were made into inane General Lee look a likes. But at least most of them could be later repainted to0 normal cars. The bad part is how many Fury’s and Charger’s were destroyed in filming the shows.
The movie itself was okay. Just okay but watchable. I did marvel that one of the scenes with the hood open I could identify a real Golden Commando motor (or at least a correct looking substitute).
