TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

The old red car with the white top is supposed to be a 1958 Plymouth Fury, the same make and model as Christine (1983).

Based on a story of the same name by Stephen King that was written exclusively for the internet.

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.

When Alan asks his mother how his father died, she says he was hit by a car while walking along side the road (while on his way to get gas for his car). On June 19, 1999, Stephen King was struck (and almost killed) while walking along Route 5, in Lovell, Maine.

Erika Christensen's character tells Jonathan Jackson's character at the beginning of the movie to not be so "Leave it to Beaver" about their breakup. This is a possible nod to Christensen's first major role as Wally's girlfriend in the 90's film adaptation of Leave it to Beaver.

Popular Dialogues

"Mature Alan: [voice over] Nothing seems to last. But the bullet. The bullet is constant. The bullet is always there. You wait in line, that's all. And when it's your turn to ride the bullet, maybe you ride, maybe you run. Either way it comes to the same thing. Fun is fun. And done is done. Nobody lives forever, but we all shine on."

"Dr. Shustek: I'm not going to lie to you, son: Your mother's a vegetable. She's fucked... And so are you."
