Duel! 1971 filming locations. Palmdale, Acton, Santa Clarita, California.

[@georgehenderson7783]

Amazing how all the locations still look almost the same 53 years later.

[@jokeroneninesevenzero]

Buildings will look different, but the mountains and hills will stay the same.

Thank you for sharing this with us. Good stuff. I remember the movie Duel, but it has been a long time since I have seen it. Might have to check it out again. Good Lord, I couldn't tell you how many times I traveled Boquet Canyon Road on a KZ1000 motorcycle back in 1982. I was living in Mojave at the time, fresh out of high school, and met a girl who lived in Newhall. She was absolutely gorgeous and I went to visit her just about every weekend. it was a nice little ride. However, most guys riding through the canyon back then were the biker types riding Harley-Davidson. I was way out of my element on a Kawasaki, but hey- I had a girl to go see. Sadly, the gal ended up kicking me to the curb. I am sure she wound up meeting someone who had a little more on the ball than I did at 18. But she left me with a lot of good memories. From the looks of your video, not much has changed since 1971 or 1982. It's still a groovy place to travel if someone is wanting to get away from it all.

I love this movie and locations tunnel stil there , snakerama still gas station, chuck caffe now restaurant,small gas station is bank now

[@stanleydrive740]

Hi. In 1971, it wasn't called Santa Clarita. It was several small areas each with their own names..Saugus, Valencia, Canyon Country.

[@jokeroneninesevenzero]

Yes. When I film in that area, I will give the exact city, but because I was all over the area I was just generalizing.

The school bus 🚌 driver and his kids thought that guy in the Valiant was crazy. He got his car hung up on the bus’s bumper near a tunnel. The bus driver had to back the Valiant out with the guy on the hood. Then the big tank truck came and got the bus going again.

[@hardit359]

It always amazed me that David pulled into the gas station on the wrong side as the cars gas tank was furthest away from the pump

[@jokeroneninesevenzero]

Most likely for filming, it was done on purpose. But in reality, I worked at a gas station in the late 80s, and customers would do that all the time. Instead of turning around, they would just stretch the hose.

[@hardit359]

@@jokeroneninesevenzero Also, at the railway crossing he is on the wrong side of the road

[@markmore5906]

Elizabeth lake road and Goldie Road at that right hand turn where the road block was and at that time a vacant field before the cherry trees were planted

I'm watching this while watching Chester on Gunsmoke at the same time.

I use to watch this movie everytime it came on WABC,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,but.......... this movie use to piss my dad off feeling that this movie was giving truck drivers a bad name, He to was a truck driver

[@jeffdoty5755]

Suchs a great move I wounder what happened in real life what happened to the truck

[@jokeroneninesevenzero]

Not sure. You probably could Google it and maybe find it on someone's KZbin channel.

[@randyw8687]

anyway you can do a repo man location with the beginning with the desert scene when the cop opens the trunk?

[@jokeroneninesevenzero]

Most of the locations for this movie are difficult to find. KZbin channel 80's Life, Kurt has the locations. I think he's the only one. Check out his video. But thanks for the request.

[@Wilson632]

Road rage how truckers feel about four-wheelers😂

[@MichaelH-c5m]

Sometimes!

[@tony9532]

Is the truck even there crashed in the canyon ??

[@jokeroneninesevenzero]

No, there is no truck at the bottom of the canyon. At least I don't think there is. I couldn't see over the cliff. That area is private property.

[@MultiSweener]

The crash site was thoroughly cleaned by the production crew.

[@tony9532]

@@MultiSweener Thanks for the research : but what a job to pull off all these tons of iron.👍👍

[@MultiSweener]

@@tony9532 that's so correct. I've been on quite a few productions and some so large that the decon is monumental to say the least.

[@mtsky-tc6uw]

@@MultiSweener the truck was never crashed--they used little models and a model of the hills--you can find pictures of the models online--the truck still exists

[@happyinparadise7812]

No explanation of the car and truck turning right onto Godde Hill Rd. When the car was overheating. Uses part of the scenes twice going up the hill. Thanks

[@jokeroneninesevenzero]

I did leave out a few locations. I was focused on the locations with the buildings and landmarks. I would have liked to do them all, but not enough time or money for gas. This is just my hobby. I don't get paid to do this, just something I enjoy. Thanks for watching.

[@happyinparadise7812]

@jokeroneninesevenzero Appreciate what you do. I was born there. Bottom of Godde Hill Rd. Nears the Almond orchards. My last name is Godde. That's why I'm interested. Gracias

[@mtsky-tc6uw]

alot of scenes were done with models--the scene going off the cliff was done all with little models and fake hills maybe 6ft high

[@jokeroneninesevenzero]

Actually, according to an interview with Steven Spielberg about the movie, that is the actual truck that goes over the cliff. You can find the interview on KZbin.
