This quiz will test your movies knowledge by asking you questions related to the various famous movie trivia from the Hollywood movie: Christine (1983).

About the movie: A nerdish boy buys a strange car with an evil mind of its own and his nature starts to change to reflect it.

1.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Christine (1983)?
a.		WLS radio announcer Herbert Morrison was present at the scene of the Hindenburg crash, along with his engineer Charlie Nehlsen, and recorded an eyewitness account of the unfolding tragedy. This audio clip can be heard at the end of the film. However, Nehlsens recorder was running a bit slow, so that when the recording is played back at normal speed, the pitch of Morrisons real speaking voice is raised slightly. Also note that a slight cracking is audible at one point during the recording. This was caused by the shockwave of the explosion reaching the recorder just after Morrison shouts "Its burst into flames!"
b.		The character of Evans Husband (Jakes brother-in-law screenwriter) is based on the writer/directors actual brother in law, screenwriter Scott Frank.
c.		As a joke, Alexandra Pauls twin sister, Caroline Paul, stood in for her during some scenes, most notably the ride on the bulldozer.
d.		The Disney theme-park rides theme song, "Grim Grinning Ghosts", makes a short appearance in the movie, but the all of the background music is some version of the song. Thurl Ravenscroft is the soloist for this song on the Disney ride, but he wasnt able to sing for the movie version of the song.

2.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Christine (1983)?
a.		In promotional material such as Back to the Future Part II Behind-the-Scenes Special Presentation director, Robert Zemeckis explained that "hoverboards float on magnetic energy". He also added, "theyve been around for years, its just that parent groups havent let toy manufacturers make them. But we got our hands on some and put them in the movie." He was only joking, of course, but interestingly enough, Mattel (whose logo appeared on the hoverboard props) soon found themselves overwhelmed with callers asking where they could buy one. Although they looked pretty convincing in the movie, the hoverboards were simply wooden props attached to the actors feet. To make the boards fly, the actors were suspended by cables, which were then erased during post-production.
b.		Film financed by the selling of a race car, a loan on a 401k plan, and the production of a music video.
c.		Gerry and Cookie Flecks license plate reads "WINKY."
d.		Stephen King suffered a near fatal car collision in 1999. In an example of life imitating art, King bought the van that struck him and personally beat it with a baseball bat before sending it to the junkyard to be destroyed.

3.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Christine (1983)?

b.		Steven Spielberg admitted to being disappointed with final result of the movie.
c.		125 stunt people were used during the filming. No one was killed or injured.
d.		According to Bill Phillips on the DVD Documentary, the movie technically didnt have enough violence to justify an "R" rating. But they were afraid that if the movie went out with a PG rating (PG-13 didnt exist yet), then nobody would go to see the movie. So he purposely inserted the word "fuck" and all its derivatives in order to get the "R" rating. He then commented that they were criticized at the time for their use of the word in the film.

4.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Christine (1983)?

d.		For the vomiting sequences, Eileen Dietz doubled (uncredited) for Linda Blair, and later sued unsuccessfully for puking credit. Makeup veteran Dick Smith rigged Dietzs facial contours with sheets of heat-formed plexiglass that were secured at the corners of her mouth and behind her head. A camouflaged nozzle anchored in Dietzs oral cavity provided the apparatus through which the "vomit" could be forcefully discharged, fed by supply tubes discreetly embedded in the plexiglass on both sides of her face. Such was the complexity of the set-up that Dietz could barely swallow or close her mouth.

5.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Christine (1983)?

Screenwriter Bill Phillips and rocker George Thorogood filmed a cameo appearance as the junkyard workers who compress Christine and dropped the cube at the end but the sequence was cut because neither one could act very well (as Phillips states in the documentary).

The 1958 Plymouths (along with all other Chrysler products that year) used push buttons to select "Reverse," "Neutral," "Drive," etc. (The buttons can be seen in some shots located near the steering column but are never seen being pushed in the film.) He says that it would routinely take several tries to put the transmission in gear. In a few instances, filming would be delayed so that a technician could repair the selector buttons, and even then hed still have trouble with it.

d.		When Connie Francis ran into singer Elvis Presley on the set for this movie, he reportedly told her, "I hear youre using a lot of guest-stars in your new musical. How about a job for a hungry folk singer?" This was due to the fact that there were so many guest-stars scheduled in the film that it was joked anyone could be in it if they asked.

10.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Christine (1983)?
a.		The snow in the film was coincidental, and the script was updated to accommodate it.
b.		Richard Stanley wrote a sequel to the film, called "Hardware II: Ground Zero", and tried to get the project off the ground for a few years. The sequel would have been somewhat different than the original film, closer to a western, with a much larger scale. The project stalled because the rights to the original movie are split between several parties (among them Miramax and producer Paul Trijbits).
c.		According to Bill Phillips in the DVD Documentary, Robert Prosky, who plays garage owner Will Darnell, asked Phillips to give him more dialog to make his character more interesting. Prosky recalled moments in the book featuring Darnell and asked that the scene where Darnell offers Arnie a job to be expanded to include the lines in the book where Darnell says "You can pick up around the place. Do a few lubes. And put the toilet paper on the spools...". So Phillips did add them to the script.
d.		When Peter is talking to Aslan, Aslan says "Beaver also mentioned something about you turning him into a hat". That line was not originally in the movie. The smile you see is William Moseley smiling because a fly was buzzing around his head, which rendered the shot useless.
