There's a lot of chances along the way where he could have hopped on and get away from Christine, but he chose to run himself into a frigging deadend that's like 10 feets long.. WHAT AN IDIOT! I mean the car is haunted but it ain't no transformer.. I doubt it will transform itself and fly on top of a building LMAO
Love is Pain.
Buddy too, he decides to run right in the middle of the road!
shareI agree about Buddy but he seemed to be in area where there was no place to hide, plus his death looked awesome. The fat kid was a knucklehead but to give him credit he actually did end up in a area where Christine could not theoretically get to him.
shareTake a look at Leigh; I could've slapped her. Just standing there making herself an easy target making one dumb face after another, waiting for Dennis to warn her. After her only sensible stunt, swinging herself upward, there was a LADDER going up right next to her, for chrissakes! If you want to get away from a charging car, climb UP. Better yet, join your friend in the bulldozer, what say?
Hate the scripts they gave girls in the 80s. All dumb expressions, squeaky voices and a tear or two.
You are an ant in the afterbirth.
William Ostrander (who played Buddy Repperton) said when they were shooting the scene where Christine was chasing him down the highway after the gas station explosion, he asked John Carpenter "John, why am I running straight down the middle of the road?" Carpenter said "Because it's a movie." :D
...perfect answer. :)
perfect answer only if your braindead. Being a movie does not excuse utter stupidity, and im sorry to hear such a mastermind as Carpenter ever thought this was ok.

Applied Science? All science is applied. Eventually.
Picking apart a movie about a possessed '58 Plymouth... yeah, that sounds like a real deep thinker at work.
If that kind of thing bothers you, you might want to learn your possessives and contractions while you're at it.
It does not matter what the movie is about. if the characters act like brainless idiots without a reason its a problem.

Thanks for that hilarious visual ! It's going to be really difficult not to imagine this the next time I watch Christine!

Was it a millionaire who said "Imagine no possessions"?
William Ostrander would be great working for Cinema Sins at youtube

I thought the same thing when I watched this: Jump on top of Christine!
And Buddy Reperton...what kind of goofus runs in the middle of the road to escape a car?!!

"Didn't he discover America?"
"Penfold, shush."

Christine WAS kind of a transformer. She crushpushed herself into the narrow alley just to kill the fat guy. And later, during the climactic fight with the bulldozer, Christine tried to regenerate again but was too slow.
But I agree on that I would have jumped on the hood of the car. He probably was too frightened and too surprised at Arnie/Christine trying to reach and crush him.
"I don't discriminate between entertainment
and arthouse. A film is a goddam film."
Yeah, because fat people are known for being quick and agile.
Who says violence is not the answer?
this thread is too funny!!

Love the thread title lol. And agree with you, every time that scene comes up I just face-palm then laugh my ass off
shareHe was probably in such shock that the car they had just totaled a night or two before was in perfect condition and chasing him with nobody driving. I can't imagine you would be thinking clearly if it happened to you.
