Steven Spielberg should make DUEL 2 since the truck driver escaped the truck .
Looks like that first piece of metal was a finder flat.
21:14 You should have inserted one of Monty Python's gumbies there!
WHAT HAPPENED TO COLUMBO'S PEUGEOT?
@@RSF-DiscoveryTime "My bwain hurts!"
I am so blown away by this! I was 6 years old when "Duel" aired on TV. My dad was a huge truck fanatic so I fondly remember watching it with him on our first color TV set. It scared the crap out of me! Even though I was scared I was still saddened to see the truck get destroyed at the end. I guess my love of vintage vehicles had already started at a young age! Thanks for your hard work in making this. I wish my dad was still around so I could show to him too. Miss you Dad!
I first watched in on AMC when I was probably 4 (I know I hadn’t started school yet) with my dad in the early 90s. It always stuck with me
I was in front of the TV with my family when Duel aired for the first time on the ABC Saturday Movie of the Week. I was ten years old at the time. This movie had me glued to the screen for 90 hair raising minutes.
Same here. That image of the dead truck's front wheel still spinning after the crash stuck in my mind all this time.
The best part of this was hearing two brits talk as they stroll through scrubland in the heat with a bunch of snakes lying in wait for someone to simply step on them so they can strike.
As an Australian i wonder if i'm watching a literal re-enactment of part of my countrys history.
I'm pretty sure the early explorers weren't bumbling fools like these guys. 😆
So, I have just driven from Plymouth to The Lake District in the UK for a family holiday. I have unpacked my bags, got the wifi on for the kids, checked my youtube and seen your video come up. Is the truck from Duel still at the bottom of the cliff? This is exactly what I have always wondered since I was a kid. I'm now going to let the wife get the bags out of the car herself while I sit back and watch your video. I can't help myself, wish me luck with the wife later!
Sure you have, suuuure
@@X22GJP Doubter!
Where abouts in lakes are you!?
@@ThomasEdward I was in Ambleside-am back now though :)
I know what you mean but I unfortunately wouldn't get away with not helping unloading the car as I definitely wouldn't be allowed any dinner! I suppose it'd be far too much of a coincidence if you stayed at our favourite holiday destination in the Lake District at a village called Bothel? We absolutely adore being there as it really feels like a second home. I hope you enjoyed your holiday.
As someone who owned a Slant 6 powered Duster (same as a Valiant under the skin), I can relate to the complete lack of power and terror of not being able to merge onto the Interstate much less being chased by a big rig with a maniac behind the wheel!
The firm that my high school hired to do driver's ed (50 years ago) used the "old" slant six Valiants I agree they weren't one for power. I believe they used several Valiants in the making of the film including one that was fitted with a 340 V-8.
I took a stock '74 Duster with a 225 /6 to the track and it ran 20.50 seconds at 69mph! To date, the slowest car I have ever driven. BUT it did top out at 115mph (speedo) on the way home. It took about 3 miles!@@josephkovalcik8266
Yeah 340 now that was a hot rod motor😮😊
Oh yeah! My friend has a 340 with a blower on it in his '70 Dart. @@stevo196two9
the "Duel" Valiant had the small V8 badges on the front fenders - 318 car.
I’m 62. When I first saw this on TV as a kid I was totally enthralled! Great movie!
I am 63 and me too.
I'm 61, me too !! ✌
Same but as a kid in the late 1980s... it came on and I had no idea what I was watching, but immediately was drawn into it. Amazingly atmospheric!
Great episode!! I remember watching this film as a young child at my grandparents place, I was truly terrified by it. Spielberg puts you right in the car with Dennis and pulls you into the intensity of the film. Aside from the inner monolog sequences, this film still holds up today.
Just as you think RR can't get any more awesome Perifractic "just" goes and find the truck from Duel. This is so awesome!
I was absolutely floored by that ending!! WOW! can't wait to see part 2!
Apologise to Dean's arse for me 😂
I will when I see it next. Wait let me rephrase that.
@@RetroRecipes 😂😂😂😂
That guy is the perfect friend for you! It's like you are brothers.@@RetroRecipes
Haha thanks! @@CarsandCats
Without context that last line is funny
Over all these years I've never given a crap about Duel, but this "cliff hanger" has me riveted. Can't wait to see part two.
Duel is a great film,written by the father of the woman who wrote E.T. and is the Truck version of Jaws. Well worth a watch.
What? That was a cliff hanger of a movie!! I thought all Valiants overheated all the time after that movie, lol
@@mtrgv or are hard to start when you really need them!
Duel has always been one of my favorite films, Please let that be the truck, it would be amazing. Great work guys
"Wow, what an incredible adventure to find the truck from Spielberg's 'Duel' after all these years! This film really left a mark on me, and it's amazing to see it still holds up. The nostalgia is real! Can't wait for part two. Thanks for taking us along on this journey, and please, no more jump scares! 😂"
Haha sorry!
Fascinating! Duel is a textbook example of a simple idea executed perfectly. I've watched it many times.
THIS is the best video you have ever made! Congratulations on something so completely epic I will never forget it. Duel is my favorite movie of all time and here you are not only looking but FINDING the wrecked truck. I can't even believe it. The one-liners by you and your hilarious friend had me laughing so much.
Thank you! Let's hope that is the truck and not some other truck...
What an adventure. I remember watching Duel when it first came on TV in 1971 when I was 11 years old. I think it was the ABC movie of the week. In my 11 year old mind I could not understand why Dennis Weaver was so scared, he was already playing Deputy Marshal Sam McCloud on the TV show McCloud and he carried a 6 shooter.
Amazing! Huge nostalgia kick for me with this one. I saw Duel by accident in the 80s after leaving my bedroom TV on and waking up mid way through the film. I was under 10 at the time and it gave me recurring nightmares for a considerable time!
I forgot all about the film (only remembering the truck from the nightmares) and it wasn’t until some time in the 90s that I mentioned it to someone who then told me it sounded like the film.
The truth is that the original truck nor the car never crashed onto the site. The entire scene was recreated with a small model truck and a small model car. 😂
I grew up in this area in the 60's. Seeing the movie in 1971 it was so cool seeing areas I have actually been at. I still live in the area and my son lives about 5 minutes away from the cliffs, which is off Vasquez Canyon Road in Saugus, CA. I drove by there the other day and there was production crews at the site. They do shoot a lot of commercials at that site.
Duel is a timeless movie with excellent cinematography that is severely lacking in movies today.
One of my favourite episodes of yours. Really looking forward to the next one. Great stuff.
Bloody hell that was fantastic, looks like Bonnie could save that wreck.
One of my favourite movies. I had no idea this still exists.
Oh my. I still have this movie on VHS! Loved it since the first time I saw it. When you went over that hill and saw the cab I got goosebumps Christian, I’m like no way it’s still there after 50+ years. Busting for the next episode. Hurry up already.
Coming in 2 weeks! Sorry for the literal cliffhanger.
@@RetroRecipesand keep the dad jokes coming.
I was thinking that it would absolutely be there because there is no way to get it out. Think about it.
@@CarsandCats good call.
Having grown up in southern California I can say you highlight possibly the biggest hazard in hiking there. Underestimating the terrain and distance between points. A lot of people I've hiked this there have said "oh yeah, no problem, we can do that in an hour" thinking it was only about a 1/4 mile away. Yeah. It's 1/4 mile as the crow flies but we're not damn crows. It's about a mile of up and down ground travel.
Spectacularly under equipped for such a trek. Love it!
It looked so much shorter on the maps ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@@RetroRecipes haha! Thanks for the reply. Really appreciate what you do.
@@RetroRecipesIt always does.
One of the best films ever. This is a lovely trip back down film memory lane. The tension is Duel is superb and up there with the first episode of Columbo that Spielberg directed the same year "Murder By The Book".
Hey that's really cool. I loved the suspense I those early Columbo episodes
Two Brits (Almost) Lost In The Desert. It’s almost always entertaining to watch foreigners underestimate distances, heat, need for Sun protection, terrain and hydration requirements. Sometimes it ends tragically though. I’m hooked, can’t wait for part 2!
Indiana Fractic and the Raiders of the Lost Duel Truck
I love the intro more and more each week.
Very cool editing in this episode, between the scenes from the film, the locations, the google earth map.
Poor Dean. Please be careful during your adventures Peri, you're a Daddyfractic now.
Can't wait for next week's episode.
Thank you!
Wow! What an episode. That truck spooked me out when i was a kid. Thanks guys for going to look for it. Cant wait for pt2.😊
Such a tease! Congratulations on getting that far! And for proving you're willing to go to extreme lengths for your childhood obsessions! If I ever had any doubts about your commitment to answering such questions, I certainly don't anymore.
I liked this movie as a kid. Recently watched it again. It doesn't create the same eery feeling like it did back then, but still wasn't bad. I also remember always having noticed the opening door and the non exploding truck as special.
I seen for the first time duel when i was around 10 and still living in italy: was a sucker for freeways and i remember was mesmerized by the opening sequence of the drive on the 110 and the 5: never ever i would have imagined to drive in the same streets regularly one day!
Can't wait to see part 2 .guys just don't get bitten or fall off the edge 😮
This is such a fun video guys, thanks for putting it together. That was a great movie, you never see the driver!
I enjoyed every trucking moment of this episode. Looking forward to part 2.
Truck yeah!
That was brilliant to watch. None hikers hiking is comedy gold. Great effort guys that looked a hot one.
Nice adventure :) The only thing missing was darkness, a compass going around in circles, UFOs in the sky or the Witch ;) "Duel" is a great movie.
Damn cool, can't wait to see the next episode! Seeing Duel as a kid completely terrorized me and also Night Gallery (which Spielberg also directed an episode for).
Love Duel! I remember first watching it late one night on ITV on my little black and white portable telly, the suspense levels are incredible! Masterfully shot movie.
Best opening ever - just watching video now.
This was so well done. Can’t wait for Part II!
Interesting guys - thank you very much for doing this. I am a DUEL tragic, covering the movie locations there, Acton towards Palmdale back in 2010. I have watched DUEL around 150 times, and it's an "in the blood" favorite movie of mine. I am seriously considering a return to film the locations at greater depth and in more detail in the future. Thank you for the inspiration here. Well done !! RIP Dennis Weaver - he was a lovely guy...a true gentleman.
Kindest regards - Fletch, Classic Restos Television Australia.
Duel really is the best thing on tv involving a car. Glad to see you giving it the respect it deserves.
That's a very hard claim to make, especially considering it was over 50 years ago.
I would certainly say easily within the top 10
@@joelnordstrom8049 it was partly meant as a knight rider joke after all the knight rider videos on this channel :) That being said, I do personally love Duel.
Spielberg would be proud of this cliff-hanger :)
underrated
Absolutely EPIC! The struggle is real 😮 One of my favourite movies, can’t wait for part 2!!!
One of my absolute favorites and I cant wait to see what you find. Props for doing this footwork, I'm so excited! On to part 2!
Thank you for going thur this while filming! God Bless you guys this was Epic!! LOVE DUEL! 😊Merry Christmas
nooooo, don't leave us hanging like that... xD I can't wait for the 2nd part!
This was bloody good mate! Exciting and really felt like we were with you 👍🏻👍🏻
Absolutely loved this. I just watched Duel again the other week along with The Sugarland Express (been bingeing early Spielbergs) so the timing's perfect. Many thanks from rainy Hertfordshire.
Okay now this is just epic, I don't even care if this was dramatized or made to seem more inaccessible than it was (not saying that's the case) but it's still really cool.
Reminds me of how I'm planning on hiking up to an old railbed on the side of a mountain that I haven't found much documentation on.. at least so far, hopefully access isn't as complicated as this seemed to be 😂 anyways, can't wait for part 2!
This is absolutely brilliant. Putting your hands on that truck is like me putting my hands on the Orca from Jaws. Grail stuff.
Let's hope that's actually it!
great movie and the fact they had Stuntman Carey Loftin as the driver of the Rig was a perfect choice. Carey was a stuntdriver in awesome movies like Bullitt, Vanishing Point, The French Connection and Maximum Overdrive
Don't forget White Line Fever
Carey Loftin was said to have been the best stunt driver of all times.
Amazing episode, Master-Fractic. I remember watching this movie with my father on TV. Very intensive movie for a my age back then. Duel, Westworld (Yul Brunner) and Alien scared me most back then. You took quite a trip to find that truck :) Wear high leather boots for the snakes and a hat for the sun (you are a father now). I always believed that you are one of the most talented creators on TH-cam! Looking forward to the second part :)
Thank you for your kind words! Means a lot 👍🕹 I love those movies too. Aliens (the sequel of course) is my favourite movie after Empire Strikes Back. Westworld is a classic!
@@RetroRecipes We have the same taste in movies and everything 80's related:) i did a small comparison video of the "The Empire strikes back" game on the C64 vs Plus/4 (far my best video so far). I always take inspiration from your work!
And 20 minutes in, I was just contemplating about how relaxing the RR videos are…
Haha apologies
1,5h walking, but you really did a good job at making it feel like it took 8h.
Can't wait to see the next episode. Nice job.
I was 15 when Duel aired, "ABC Movie Of The Week". Destined to be a classic, it was an episode that really stuck in my mind. I confess, that it wasn't till the past few years when I watched it on streaming TV that I realized it was Spielberg's first film. That says it all. What I would like to know about the wreck is how did the salvage crew bring all that wreckage?
That is so awesome to see if it's still there all these years after the movie was made. Thank you for taking this all this would venture in discovering what could possibly be Screen used Duel Peterbilt 281 and the Plymouth Valuitant Can't wait for Pt 2
Just saying, Duel is one of my favourite movies of all time. I remember watching it as a kid, and have revisited this classic numerous times over the years. I've subbed because I want to stay up to date with this.
OMG, Im in New Zealand, as a teenager back then, I was obsessed with Duel........ saw it on the big screen, in the days when movie theatres were the norm....
Petrified Canyon Boulders? Possible Cobra Bites? Partly Cooked Bodies? Probably Carbon Based? (Just some PCB ideas for this one?). Getting there is only half the battle, will returning be easier? Just wondering!
I saw only clips of this movie when I was much younger but never looked into it. It vaguely haunted me that I didn't know what it was. So, VERY cool, I now know and MUST watch this thriller. Thank you!
Hope this video doesn't haunt you. Well only in a good way :)
I actually had a 4 door Valiant as my first car a few years after the movie was released. It brings back so many memories seeing all the vehicle shots and interior shots whenever I watch the movie.
I'm loving the adventure!!! :) Looking forward to Episode 2.
What a brilliant episode yet again @retrorecipes !!!!
…..but what a literal cliffhanger to end on 😂 can’t wait for episode 2. Surely it’s the Duel lorry and not a dumped refrigerator or something equally disappointing 😂
Oh wow!
Super super cool!
That 1955 Peterbuild 281 truck and probably the 1971 Plymouth Valiant were still in this canyon where they crashed, after all this time !?
I’m on my knees.
Your trip will become legendary !
This is still one of my top ten all time favorite movies. This movie inspired me to be a truck driver.. not to be a psycho but to be able to drive a big rig and get paid to travel.
I think the most retro thing about this was actually going for adventures in the hills as boys , and yes falling over into prickly bushes.
No snakes though thankfully
Come on snakies!
Wow, this seems to have been quite a hike! I can't wait to see if you really found what you were searching for :)
I can guarantee we find something that is much more than we hoped or dreamed of
Cant wait for pt2.... hurry up LOL 👍👍
Well at least you were honest and putting in part 1 on the thumbnail. I took a minute and a half to complete part 1 thank you
Loved the vid cannot wait for part 2.
What a 'cliffhanger'...!
Rumor has it, the cab fan still spins to this day.
I always thought the door was open on the truck at the end because the driver jumped out too. I figured it would lead to a Duel 2.
I just bounced from my sofa, that goddamn halloween prank 😂 Can't wait for the next part. Unbelievable find from my childhoods fav movie!!
Great Movie, didn't expect you to find anything. Waiting for part 2!
2 brits bumble their way through the American outback. Wonderful stuff.
Basically yep
Talk about a cliffhanger!
Hej, pamietam ten film, zobaczyłem go w Polskiej telewizji w latach 90. Do dzisiaj film ten robi wrażenie i trzyma w napięciu, dziękuje ze go przypomniałeś, pozdrawiam 😊
Great hike!! The restaurant was the place where suspense gets higher. Mann gets assaulted by a guy who he thinks may be the truck driver. Then, finally, he gets out and runs desperately behind the truck. I guess nobody wanted to pay for the truck to be removed from the crash's location, especially because it was much of a problem moving that large wreck...
I always thought he ran really fast for a guy his age, but it turns out Dennis Weaver was a track athlete in his younger days, and his athleticism still hadn't left him
Brilliant and I’m really looking forward to part 2. Can’t believe that I’ve never seen Duel.
Go and watch it. Now.
Love the Blackadder reference about 'drinking our own'...
Very cool, will be interesting to see the next part :) Have seen this movie only once couple of years ago.
Just found you're channel subscribed Immediately. Teenage yrs the 80s. Watching all you're previous vids and truly thank you for bringing me back to my youth and best yrs.
When I was in the Boy Scouts there were so many rattle snakes in those hills .One time I has one 18 inches from my face and it still gives me the chills.
I remember seeing Duel on TV when it first aired as an ABC Movie Of The Week. I was about 14 years old at the time. About a year later while visiting relatives in Tennessee, my sister who was about 17 at the time and l were going to the store on a winding two lane road when a large truck came up behind us and got right on our bumper and my sister sped up to try to get away from it and they would speed up and stay right behind us. There were two guys in the truck and they were laughing at us because we couldn't get away from them. Our speed was getting faster and faster and we were terrified because my sister was having a hard time keeping the car under control on the winding narrow road. After about two miles there was a large parking lot and she had to steer the car off of the road to get away from the truck. Thankfully they kept going. It really shook us up. I have seen the movie several times since then and it always reminds me of that incident.
"So many pricks..."
"It's just two from where I'm standing." 🤣🤣
you guys are both such natural comedians. the best part of the video was the back and forth.
Wow! This was fractic fantastic!
Longing for next episode.
I'd love for you to do a retro of the C64 C with Geos. In High School before I got the A500, Geos was almost always loaded. It was how I got things done. I still remember going to Canadian tire to pick it up. The smell of the plastic it was wrapped in, plugging in the mouse and getting started with that brick of a 1541... Very nice channel!
Geos would be awesome!
Noted! For now I have this: th-cam.com/video/nI3C9yLVsVE/w-d-xo.html
Two doughy Brits surviving the extreme sunshine of coastal California was more fun than the actual reveal at the end. Good show blokes! Graceland called to say they know you nicked Elvis's sunglasses and they want 'em back.🤩
you got me on the Halloween software glitch lol. I still remember seeing Duel for the first time as a kid, our teacher passed-away and we got to watch Duel in the classroom. We should have all been sadder than we were lol.
Love this video. Can't wait for part 2. I've always wanted to go to Italy and do a similar search for any parts off the original Italian job mini's.
Two Brits scouting out the locations of Duel in a planet saver. Classic.
"Oh well, it could be worse... OUCH! It's worse!" lol
20:00 The stuff you found around the 20 minute mark was really far from the crash site. Unless that area is prone to massive flash floods, I don't think they're related.
Love it, cannot wait for part 2!
Looking forward to part two!
I love your videos. I am guessing we are about the same age, but you look so much younger! Great video as always and I remember the movie Duel vividly, and my terror watching it as a kid.
Thanks for your kind words. I'm only 50!
@@RetroRecipes Well I am 53 and look 50, you're 50 and look late 30's! Well done Sir and keep up the great videos.
Great episode and thank you :) looking forward to episode #2
