Movie Trivia/Goofs

→ View All

In the short story, George Staub's car was a Ford Mustang. The filmmakers decided to go with a red and white Plymouth as a nod to Stephen King's Christine. However Christine was a 1958 Plymouth Fury and George's car was a 1960 Plymouth Fury.
Movie Goof (continuity error): The rednecks follow Alan for a long distance while leaving their car behind. When Alan hides in the refrigerator after a short while you hear the rednecks leaving in their car (which they actually left behind a long distance behind).
Movie Goof (errors in geography): As Alan Parker is heading to Lewiston, ME, he is seen walking past a sign indicating the junction of US Routes 2 & 68. US Route 68 runs for 560 miles between Reidland, KY and Findlay, OH. The closest it comes to Lewiston is 714 miles.
The old red car with the white top is supposed to be a 1958 Plymouth Fury - the same make and model as Christine.
