There's a lot of chances along the way where he could have hopped on and get away from Christine, but he chose to run himself into a frigging deadend that's like 10 feets long.. WHAT AN IDIOT! I mean the car is haunted but it ain't no transformer.. I doubt it will transform itself and fly on top of a building LMAO

I agree about Buddy but he seemed to be in area where there was no place to hide, plus his death looked awesome. The fat kid was a knucklehead but to give him credit he actually did end up in a area where Christine could not theoretically get to him.

Take a look at Leigh; I could've slapped her. Just standing there making herself an easy target making one dumb face after another, waiting for Dennis to warn her. After her only sensible stunt, swinging herself upward, there was a LADDER going up right next to her, for chrissakes! If you want to get away from a charging car, climb UP. Better yet, join your friend in the bulldozer, what say?
Hate the scripts they gave girls in the 80s. All dumb expressions, squeaky voices and a tear or two.

William Ostrander (who played Buddy Repperton) said when they were shooting the scene where Christine was chasing him down the highway after the gas station explosion, he asked John Carpenter "John, why am I running straight down the middle of the road?" Carpenter said "Because it's a movie."
perfect answer.

perfect answer only if your braindead. Being a movie does not excuse utter stupidity, and im sorry to hear such a mastermind as Carpenter ever thought this was ok.

Picking apart a movie about a possessed '58 Plymouth yeah, that sounds like a real deep thinker at work.
If that kind of thing bothers you, you might want to learn your possessives and contractions while you're at it. -

I know! It would have been so much better if Buddy would have popped wheels out of his feet, dropped his pants and lit one of his farts to propel himself down the road like a rocket. How awesome would it have been to see him bent over and shooting down the highway with a huge flame coming out of his ass while laughing at Christine's inability to keep up? And the great thing is that they could totally do such a scene without it seeming the least bit out of place because they already have one element of the movie that doesn't conform to reality, so that gives them free reign to do absolutely anything!

Christine WAS kind of a transformer. She crushpushed herself into the narrow alley just to kill the fat guy. And later, during the climactic fight with the bulldozer, Christine tried to regenerate again but was too slow.
But I agree on that I would have jumped on the hood of the car. He probably was too frightened and too surprised at Arnie/Christine trying to reach and crush him.
