In popular culture
- In The Honking,
an episode of the animated series Futurama, Bender is run over by a "Werecar," which
strongly resembles Christine. Also, in a separate episode of the animated series
Futurama, in a parody of The Wizard of Oz, Fry, dressed
as the Scarecrow, attempts to scare off a crow by reading Christine to the bird.
- In a The Simpsons Treehouse of
Horrors comic there's a segment called Krustine about a car Krusty gives Homer
that turns Homer into a monster.
- An episode of The Grim Adventures of Billy
and Mandy is a direct parody to Christine, in which Billy obtains a
possessed tricycle from a child in a magical port-a-potty.
- Christine is seen as the polar opposite to Herbie The Love Bug, often prompting online discussions
between fans of the two cars as to who would win in a race... or a fight.
- In an episode of the animated series The Critic, main character Jay Sherman sang a
tribute to women on the silver screen, mentioning "Stephen King's Christine."
- In the video game Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, a
fan-made 1958 Plymouth Fury which looks exactly like Christine can be driven.
Also, the driver inside is rendered invisible, thus applying the impression that
Christine is "demonic" and runs by herself without any driver inside it.
