Duel (1971) Final chase sequence

[@RansomHollywood]

This is ONE OF the GREATEST films EVER made. Low budget, but compensated with a GREAT plot and NON-STOP suspence. TOTAL old school style.

[@malcolmabram2957]

Just goes to show that you do not need a huge budget to make a great film. I watch a film because they are good to watch, not because how much it cost to produce.

I am not a huge fan of Spielberg... but. The direction, cinematography and editing are exceptional. One of my favorite movies. Also. Best actor: 1955 Peterbilt 281 tanker truck Best Soundtrack: 1955 Peterbilt 281 tanker truck Best Makeup: 1955 Peterbilt 281 tanker truck

This is an awesome movie. Spielberg at his best. The suspense and action keeps you glued to the screen every second. You can feel it like your in the car.

[@konstantinoskaragiannis1596]

"Duel"(1971) is an excellent action thriller road movie, and one of the best movies of all time for this Kind!

[@malcolmabram2957]

The fact one never sees the antagonist let alone understand why he is out to kill weaver is the real suspense. Moreover in the film there is a scene where the antagonist helps a broken down school bus. Adds to the mystery of who he is.

Not too impressed as well by anything made in usa these days...

[@luisreyes1963]

The Mack truck driver was probably a part time pimp for Lot Lizards, and he's trying to collect for non payment. Dennis Weaver dined and dashed!

Having lived around Saugas CA for about 35 years, I recognize many of these locations, particularly Crown Valley Rd in Acton and Godde Hill Rd in Leona Valley. Some of these sequences literally alternate between opposite directions of the same highway!

[@glennhelm9525]

And the Ridge Route, plus Angeles Forest Hwy. There appeared to be a combination of locations in the last 5 minutes, but I think the truck went over off the A.F.H. above Mt. Emma Rd. & Kentucky Canyon.

The Plymouth Valiant may have had a slant 6 which was also indestructible... unless the engine overheats in the hot New Mexico sun and your radiator hose blows while a relentless rusty old diesel truck pulling a tanker trailer which is mostly empty decides it wants to eat you for dinner.

Hard to believe but I went to the cinema to see a film and this brilliant movie was actually the second feature. This was back in the day when you got real value for money. It is an iconic movie now, Speilburgs first as a director I believe. The irony is I don't reremember which movie was the main event!!

[@bbartky]

I bought this on DVD. An absolutely brilliant made-for-TV movie that launched Steven Spielberg’s career. There’s a great interview with novelist/screenwriter Richard Matheson where he talks about the origins of this story. I won’t spoil it since it’s so great but I believe you can find it on KZbin. Also, lots of neat touches throughout like all the different license plates on the truck. My head canon since the ‘70s when I first saw this was the license plates are from previous drivers he killed. 😛

And in this scene he finaly become a brave man.

Bad old long story joke about that, in which Mick Jagger was at the Playboy Mansion, and was watching Hugh Hefner play Twister with Dennis Weaver. Mick got a little over-enthusiastic and yelled, "Hey, Hugh! Get off-a McCloud!" (Apologies for that 15 seconds you won't ever get back :)

Actually had a crazy trucker decide to try and kill me for some reason. He kept trying to run me off a two lane highway in a deserted area, no one else around. I pulled over to the shoulder and let him pass by. Waited 15 minutes, drove over the hill. He was there, blocking both lanes. I was about to turn around and go back the way I came, but just then, a sheriff's patrol car appeared and the trucker put his rig in gear and started off. I tagged behind the patrol car for a long, long time.
