Story Synopsis:
John Carpenter’s Christine is based on the novel by Stephen King and uses a 1958 Plymouth Fury as the movie’s evil character. Christine (the red and white auto) comes equipped with a sinister ability to to destroy anyone that gets in front of her evil grille. After seducing her new owner, Arnie Cunningham (Gordon) with her sleek lines and chrome-draped body, Christine becomes Fury-ous when Arnie begins dating Leigh Cabot (Paul) and takes out her road rage in unspeakable ways.
LaserDisc Picture:
The picture is presented in it’s original 2.35:1 aspect ratio. While colors are vivid the overall quality is mediocre with unnatural fleshtones and poor shadow detail. Grain and noise as well as some artifacts are visible.
LaserDisc Soundtrack:
The soundtrack is of varying quality and is essentially monaural and wanting in fidelity with some good surround effects.
