On the occasion of John Carpenter’s “Christine” release date, we invite you to try to identify these cars in the movies with a quiz in ten questions. Be careful when going off the road!
This Wednesday, Christine, one of genre master John Carpenter’s great fantasy films, is back in theaters. The film, released in 1983, followed the relative failure of The Thing, which at the time was largely overshadowed by blockbusters Blade Runner and ET The Extra-Terrestrial. One of the first big-screen adaptations of a Stephen King novel, it features a possessed car that becomes so jealous of its owner that it wants to rid itself of its human rivals…
Other vehicles have marked the history of cinema, starting with the iconic Dolorean from Back to the Future. This car is built by “Doc” and allows time travel when it reaches an exact speed of 88 miles per hour. A machine that may never have seen the light of day, as Robert Zemeckis and Steven Spielberg’s project began as a refrigerator that would allow Marty McFly to go back in time, thanks to the energy of an atomic explosion!
Another famous car from cinema, the Gotham Vigilante Batmobile, whose design has evolved from film to film since Tim Burton’s Batman in 1989, to Matt Reeves’ last film with Robert Pattinson. A real racing car with a futuristic look that can withstand explosions and is equipped with all kinds of weapons.
If we add to this list the many models of agent 007 James Bond from Sean Connery to Daniel Craig, all the cars of the nine films of the Fast and the Furious saga, countless chases in the movies and other car icons in history. We’ve had more than enough cinema to bring you a special ‘Cars at the Movies’ quiz. So take the wheel and don’t stop to achieve perfection!
