We never find out who was that truck driver and why he did this
❤
@georgevavoulis4758 you see him the 2nd time Dave passes him. And then he blasts the horn. The licence plates are from all the truck driver's victims. Other story, it's due to different states the truck must pass through. But, due to it's condition. Likely a decommissioned truck and the killer driver just got it to do his evil dues
@@ScarysReviewsWhat I noticed is the door of the truck was open while falling. The driver survived?
A CRASH DUEL WHO MOVIE BY STEVEN SPIELBERG
Rest In Peace to Dennis Weaver and Carey Loftin One of Hollywood's Greatest Stuntmen who drove the Truck and was the film's Stunt Co-Ordinator. This certainly was one of Steven Spielberg's best films.
Carey Loftin
Let's not forget about Dale Van Sickle, the Plymouth Valiant's stunt driver.
It was Spielbergs first; 1971.
Vi o filme mais de 20 vezes e não entendi porque o morista do caminhão queria matar o cara...porquê essa perseguicao????
At end of Duel 1971 movie David Mann went home in no scene.
If you look closely you'll notice the truck in this movie has about six or seven different license plates on the front bumper. Steven Spielberg said he did this to imply that the driver was a serial killer who's done this before, running people off the road and taking their plates as trophies. Also the roar that's heard when the truck plunges off the cliff is the same one used at the end of Jaws when the shark's body sinks to the sea floor.
Yep. Ironically, trucks back then actually did have multiple license plates for interstate travel
Well, look who paid us a visit. Captain obvious, glad you arrived
It wouldn't be smart for a killer nowadays. Trophies everyone knows about. And to be linked to a victim. Not only forensics on paint and metal transfers and the like but outright things from the victim or vehicle.
@@justdynee also cell phones and dash cams nowadays would make it very hard if not impossible for the driver to get away with it
@@neuzdost1939 I didn't ever even notice it, as I recall trucks having multiple tags
Even at a young age, I admired Dennis Weaver for how he played this role.
I heard Spielberg cast him specifically because Weaver nailed a movie role years before that made him perfect for the lead in Duel.
This was Spielberg's most underrated film.
Ahhh -- the ubiquitous "underrated" comment strikes again
@@Tamburello_1994you got two thumbs up the ubiquitous “underrated” comment (under achiever)lol
@@Tamburello_1994i literally get angry when i read " underrated". Not underrated. It is just not known to many, may lack promorions.
Just watch that CAPRICORN 1 movie and he might say underrated again
Underrated, yet it was what made his career
@@normatible9795It's underrated
This film is EPIC. Speilberg is a directorial genius. Kudos to the cinematographer. There are so many remarkable aspects to this film.
for its time, and even now, the camera work is phenomenal.
Entire work is phenomenal there was no VFX computer graphics , men and their talents we should salute those people who made films like this @@Bruh845
This movie is so intense..Dennis Weaver`s performance was fantastic.
This beats fast and the furious movies
I am happy that Spielberg ignored the network's request that the truck explodes after crashing. Seeing the truck leak oil and brake fluids was like seeing something organic dying.
Just the tractor frame getting twisted up like a pretzel is eerie.
This movie is a classic, I never grow tired of watching it
One of Dennis Weaver’s best performances
While Spielberg has himself said he never intended there to be any hidden subtext in 'Duel', he has also said that this is the one that taught him that not everyone is going to see films the same way, and that the subtext others see is absolutely valid, even if none was intended.
With that said; As soon as I was no longer a kid (who only saw 'Duel' as a 90 minute car chase), I cannot see the truck as anything other than a representation of David Mann's fear of conflict and confrontation, and his car representing his boring routine life.
The truck keeps pushing him, and his life crumbles around him. If he would try to stay the course, and keep trying to avoid conflict and live his life as he has always lived it, he is heading for doom.
Finally he turns around to face conflict head on, and places his old self (represented by his brief case - zoom in on his name by the handle, David Mann) behind the wheel of his old life, and bails out of his own life.
-He is reborn on the side of that cliff.
Yeah, a new man(n) being born. David defeats Goliath. There is also something about finding lost or hidden masculinity (the topic is hinted in the radio talk in the beginning and in David's phone call with wife). The truck driver is a toxic alpha, a fearless bully being in control most of the time, David is a delta gradually and slowly leaving his comfort zone (switching from the 'Should I get him a psychiatrist' to the 'Knight and warrior' mode).
Spielberg recounted that when making Jaws, the story reminded him of Duel. So as a tribute to Duel, there’s a small roar that can be heard after the shark sinks in the final scene of Jaws - the same roar that can be heard by truck in this scene.
Yeah, nobody knew this! 😅😅😅😅
The roar sounds different to me for some reason.
Did not ever notice that.
I didn't hear a roar , I heard the horn
The roar was also played out in Knight Rider part 2 when Goliath the truck went over the cliff with Garthe KNight and Adrienne St. Clair.
Such a fantastic ending! Pure raw emotional energy beginning with the truck smashing head on into Weavers little car and the violence that ensued reaching a crescendo with the truck driver desperately trying to stop his truck from going over the cliff. As the crash scene ends all kinetic forces wind down with the wooden twig rubbing on the tire then it stops. Brilliant acting and directing!!
for real, all the tension constantly amping up through the whole movie, then finally this weirdly muted but entirely cathartic slow-release - so good!
With the air horn blowing l never new if the truck driver new that Denis / David got the best of him before he went down the cliff l still don't to this day the movie really keeps you guessing right untill the end and the truck stop seen where there all eating is a real genius
Șoferul camionului a sărit din cabina și sa salvat în ultima clipa ,așa se vede in filmare cu ușa deschisă la camion .
@@robrozek9265
I’ve always loved the shot of the truck running over one of the valiant hubcaps, it’s like a little reminder that if David stops or slows down, he will be crushed.
RIP Carey Loftin. Only 1 original theater copy of the truck exists. That one you see there, was the original for all filming, including it's destruction. Have drove Commercial truck for 32 years, and drove at 1962 Pete with a 4 speed Brownie box and a 13 speed Main with a 2 speed rear end. Had it up to 110mph with Lowboy Injectors in the Detroit Silver 8V92. Dirt clods shaking off of the frame rails, everything vibrating. I was only brave for a very short time. The front wheels were a old 2 lockring wheel, just like the Duel truck had on. Not too safe at those speeds. Lucky to be here.
Don't forget about Dale Van Sickle, the Plymouth Valiant stunt driver 👏.
@@williamhaynes4800 My God. Haven't heard that name forever. If it serves well,, that guy did some stunt work for the Burt Reynolds movie "Hooper". Could be mistaken.
Baby Brother used to watch the 50s Super Man TV show, he told me Van Sickle was a stunt stand in for George Reeves in long shots.
I would have to agree , your damn lucky to still be here .
The other truck used when they extended the tv movie is pretty cool as well 😊👌👍👍
@@MaidenCanada The steering tires on my 62 were a Bandag recap as well. Lowboy slow speed steer caps. I still cringe about it, 30 years on.
As a kid, I'd watch this movie in amazement... not much dialogue but a real life possibility.... road rage before road rage was coined.... Dennis Weaver was made for this part
Amazing scene. Spielberg demonstrated his enormous talent.
It is notable that the truck handles better than the car it is far more stable.
Its intended to covey the sense of nervous flight of the prey vs the confident pursuit of the predator, classic cat and mouse.
If the car were driven with confidence it would outhandle the truck easily.
Such a great ending. No explosion. No loud music, just that quiet two note synth(?) sound over mostly silence. Relief, it's over. Brilliant.
Now, how did he get home?
Just walked back to the high way really? And waited for a lift 👍🏼👍🏼. Still happens know. 🏴🇬🇧🏴🏴🏴🇬🇧☝️👍🏼
It's debatable whether he ever went back home. The symbolism of the briefcase with his name on it being left to die with his car is strong. It's obvious his life at home wasn't any better, the road raging trucker was probably the most exciting thing that happened to the man in years.
He may have simply walked into nearest town and started a new life under a new name,(you still could do stuff like that prior to the information age). When the wreckage was found it would likely be assumed he also died. Shoot, for all we know, maybe he ended up being a crazy sociopathic road raging truck driver himself!
I prefer to imagine that he got himself a motorcycle and toured the country....not to be seen again in film until 21 years later, when a cyborg asked him for his clothes, his boots, and his motorcycle!
Poor David Mann can't catch a break! 😂
@@twoeightythreezпохоже Вы знаете о чем говорите... я не удивлюсь если Вы и есть Док Браун 👍
Legend has it that he made it to the nearest town and became a truck driver, but not a homicidal one.
Saw this on TV with my mother when it came out back in the day... A simpler, uncomplicated time...
It was a movie for the TV. The cinema had an extended version.
True
The time of our youth is always simpler. We were kids.
Me too. ABC's Tuesday Movie of the Week.
Those were the days. 1am and the jet would fly while the National Anthem played and then booooooooooo until 6am. Life was good then!!
You can just feel the fear in Dennis Weaver! Totally great actor!
What a brilliant scene!!! The truck not blowing up in a huge explosion, just adds to the eeriness and impact of the film!!! Carey Loftin jumped out of the truck at the very last second before it went over the hill! So this was an incredibly dangerous scene to film, but it's spectacular!!!!!
I kept expecting the truck driver to pop out and attack the guy. (it was clear the truck driver's door was open when it went over the cliff, lol, that's kind of amazing that that was because the stunt driver was jumping out right before)
Can we just give praise to the soundtrack???
God, that scene just before this, when the radiator hose gives out, and the voilin scratches, it's just a massive punch to the stomach, and I find myself with Dennis Weaver yelling "C'MON CAR, C'MON LET'S GO! C'MON!!!"
It still makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up to this day!
Absolutely! Billy Goldenberg deserves all the praise in the world for his work here. I remember Spielberg saying in an interview that he had expected Goldenberg to deliver a traditional score, but was surprised to hear his very experimental music, incorporating tubular bells and African instruments.
-And as a counter point to that score, 'Duel' also uses silence and/or ambient sounds fantastically well!
Big time. And it leaves you on the edge of your seat watching the whole thing unfold.
Dennis Weaver said this was he most personal favorite role. I can c y. He was absolutely brilliant.
I grew up watching this with my grandmother all the time. This is an excellent film, one of Spielberg's best.
This was actually Steven Spielbergs first movie. It is still one good movie.
This old scary Peterbilt is the most iconic movie Truck ever !!
Gotta luv it as the truck goes over the cliff the driver sounds the horn
The surreal music as the truck goes over the cliff added just enough to make a great crash one of the best in film history.
What a geat, great movie. No need for over-the-top special effects. Dennis Weaver's face said it all. To quote Norma Desmond in Sunset Boulevard "We didn't need words. We had faces."
RIP, little Valiant.
3:41 "Oh, no. I misjudged the situation."
At the end after the car crashed into the side of that hill the music got super creepy. Great movie and hats off to Steven Spielberg. One of my favorite movies. All actors were good .
As an owner of this exact type of car, I can attest that it was incredibly dangerous driving that shoe box on wheels faster than fifty miles an hour - even without the dangerously winding roads. LOL. GREAT movie.
On skinny bias ply tires as well
Was yours also red?
@@twoeightythreezthat looks like orange
Was the turn radius as horrible as it was here
All those old cars, on their original suspension, handled like garbage. That old Pete rode like it was on rails by comparison-and anything with duals can take curves faster anyway...
A fantastic film,it felt like it was the truck itself was the bad guy and not the driver.
I was driving at night through southern Colorado towards Alamosa. A crazy (deranged Colorado driver) did the same thing to me through 40 miles of mountain roads. Not a big truck, but a car. Was very scary. Reminded me of this movie, "Duel." I took my life in my hands. Of course, there wasn't a State Trooper in sight through the ordeal. Finally I ditched the psychotic by taking a forest service road and lost him. To this day . . . I WILL NOT drive through Colorado. Through Wyoming, New Mexico, Utah, Kansas, Nebraska . . . but NEVER through Colorado. Nutty state.
That was me, dude. I was tryin' to tell ya that you had a taillight out.
😂@@northerniltree
I saw this one year's ago. Such an epic and intense film.
I was 10 when this movie was released. Watched it with my mom. Wanted to be a truck driver from that tender age. 30 years and 3 1/2 million miles later, I hung up the keys on a health matter. What a ride.
Surprised that truck could pass a DOT inspection. The trailer didn’t blow up so I guess it was empty
imo the fact that the truck was able to keep up with him uphill might've been foreshadowing that the trailer is empty and he's not actually hauling any cargo, just looking for victims
Thank you, again, Fear: The Home of Horror. For uploading a scene of this masterpiece.
Dennis Weaver Rest In Peace (1924-2006).
Great actor. Loved him as McCloud and.on Gunsmoke.
@@DavidSmith-xr8js, yes 👍
Tbe semi'sfinal heartbeat at the rotating tire stopped turning.
“The insurance company is never going to believe this one!” 😱
David Mann's next challenge was how to get home. He was in the middle of nowhere. If you see the end credits it was sunset & he had nothing to keep him warm for the chilly night ahead, & if around the potential for rattlesnakes to attack. If he did get back there'd still be his terrible wife to face & would have made him explain everything about why he missed his business meeting, the mess he was in & why he lost the car. Of course she would find it all highly difficult to believe. He may have been safe from that particular trouble with the truck driver but more troubles clearly lay ahead.
It's debatable whether he ever went back home. The symbolism of the briefcase with his name on it being left to die with his car is strong. It's obvious his life at home wasn't any better, the road raging trucker was probably the most exciting thing that happened to the man in years.
He may have simply walked into nearest town and started a new life under a new name,(you still could do stuff like that prior to the information age).

Poor David Mann can't catch a break! 😂
What a truly fantastic film...Beats many modern films..
"Hello, Jake? Jake from State Farm? Jake, I'd like to file a claim."
😊
Weaver was brilliant as your most average of average Joes who gets caught up in a nightmare situation. A superb film.
The trucks door being open I always thought the driver bailed before the truck went over
Great film this..! ..duel..seen it shitloads of times never get tired of seeing it again..👍
This is better than the crap they make today. It’s good that the truck didn’t explode into flames, people wanted that to happen but that would have spoilt it, Spielberg did a great job, they don’t make movies like this anymore unfortunately.
Brilliant film i saw it first when i was a little girl Dennis weaver was so good in that role they dont make them l8ke that anymore
One of my favorites love this.
1 of my 3 favorite vehicle movies.
#3 THE CAR
#2 DUEL
#1 THE ROAD WARRIOR (Mel Gibson).
Do you like, 'Vanishing Point" (the original)?
Never seen it.
@@williamhaynes4800 It's a classic. Both movies have a similar scene. Like a Bridge in a song, the main characters in both films take a break from the main story to meet an odd old person that likes snakes.
I remember the car was real terrific with that sound,
@@neriozulberti1492I’ve got the car on dvd great movie
They only had one truck when it was originally filmed as a series so the ending they had to do it once and get it right.
The driver jumped out of the truck just before it went over the edge.
That is why the door is open.
"As a series"...?
This was a tv-movie, not a series.
5:46 atleast the fan still works
Funny
I expected it to blow everything up
Testament to quality engineering of old school vehicles😂
Straight classic. I caught part of it as a kid and took years to find it again. Great movie
superb film, tension, paranoia, hopelessness, hope etc etc
One of my favourite movies of all time , you start watching it your gripped , 👍👏
Love ❤ this movie 🎬 🎞 🎥
This is one of the most best films ever watched there's even a game about this
I never understood why the truck driver didn't slam on or swerve once David leapt out of his car. Surely he must've seen him jump and it's not the car the truck wants, it's whoever's driving it.
How do we know that the truck driver was deaded?
He might have just wanted to destroy the car. Maybe he had a car like that and he didn’t like it
If you look as the truck goes over the cliff, the driver's door is open and no one is in the cab...
@@smithjones3548well there was blood on the steering wheel.
@@littlechallengeryamin3002 Again, no driver... 🤷♂
I remember watching this on TV as a young (6 YO) boy.
"He can't beat me on the grade. HE CAN'T BEAT ME ON THE GRADE!"
He just wanted to tell him his brake light was out
Or ask him about his car's extended warrenty!
Lol😂😂😂
Loved this movie growing up.
I've always felt that this movie and JAWS that came out 4 years later are kin
The sound effects from the truck going over the cliff were also used in Jaws.
Such a great movie. Simple premise so well done.
Duel was the movie that put Steven Spielberg on the map as a movie producer.
As one of these movies, you could not look away from couldn't think about what could happen next great-great movie.
Loved this when I first saw it as a kid. I saw it again as an adult, after I'd read the Richard Matheson story, and after I'd learned something about cars. I couldn't believe an engine could seize up from overheating, then magically "unseize" as it cooled down, or recall if that had been in the original Matheson story, so I reread it. Sure enough, that plot element is NOT in the original story. It does, however, demonstrate Spielberg's genius for heightening suspense.
Outstanding film. Was glad someone made a film worth watching. There wasn't much out there in those days. But things were pretty halcyon in those days, so everything's ok.
I remember this.
Reminds me of the movie "THE CAR"
5:54 IS THAT BLOOD?!
This movie was very well done and always had, to me, the theme of a Twilight Zone episode
Good point. Just more violence than TV would allow back then.
The author of the story and screenplay is Richard Matheson, who wrote many TZ episodes. 🙂
This movie is why I became a truck driver.
Best comment ever! Me too!
This had me on end
Back when truckers didn't need a CDL and everyone drove drunk!
I love thé Movie Duel
Truly one of the better shows that I have watched It's been filmed up in the Acton California area everything like really familiar when I first saw it so happy trail
Awesome flick 👍🏻. I've always wondered about the truck cabs open drivers door as it's going over the edge.
Brilliant film ❤
The door was open and the cabin empty when the truck fell down.
Nah cause you can see blood dripping from the steering wheel
@@KingCeee I believe Spielberg said that was supposed to be oil
@@pirates12343 Oil in the cab of the truck? Can't be
@@KingCeee it looks like oil to me
@@confederateghst4362 Well oil can be different colors. Black is one of em
Great movie!
Such a great movie!
Steven Spielberg's first masterpiece!
This is one of those movie Along with Joyride(2001) that's I really love.
1er grand film de Spielberg d'une commande TV qui a débuté sa carrière. J'ai encore en mémoire toutes les scènes cultes de ce film fantastique et le final, grandiose, est un must qu'on ne peut oublier. Pourvu qu'on le repasse à la télévision française !
I wonder how did they manage to up the quality of the movie(even with 2024 tech its kinda insane)it felt like watching smth from the 2000s
Loved this 🎥🍿🎥🍿🎥 movie, so intense!!!!! Dennis Weaver was a great actor!! Loved McCloud!!!! 👏👏👏👏.....
What a classic movie. And such a sleeper hit. Hardly anyone I know has ever seen or heard of it.
Really? Pretty well everyone I know over 55 is aware of it, and most think it's riveting.
It was a Universal Movie Of The Week, and when it aired back in 1971 it had huge ratings. So this is not a "sleeper hit", it's a hit.
@@mickesmanymovies Not one person I've ever talked to about this movie has heard of it. In my book, that makes it a sleeper.
@@crupert23225 I would object, but my objection hinges on the age of those you talked to... It was a television hit in 1970s USA, and had a decent cinema run in Europe in the early 70s. It has since become quite unknown with people who didn't watch it back in the day, so they are discovering it now. That doesn't make it a sleeper hit though, maybe a forgotten gem. It might seem like an argument over semantics, but calling it a "sleeper hit" implies that it didn't really take off back then... But it definitely did, wether you or people you know have heard about it or not.
@crupert23225 I never seen it but looks interesting but what the name of the truck in this movie? Gta 5 called its a cerberus but what the actual name.
What a great movie that was
movie is a classic, While a remake would be awesome, NOTHING compares to the original. Weaver was an outstanding actor and a gentleman, too.
For me , the secret of the film is that you never get to see what the truck driver looks like - its just human nature to want to get a look at a crazy pyscho like this
Fun fact, the actors' real names are William Carey Loftin and William Dennis Weaver, they both share the same first name.
I had seen an old peterbuilt rusted in a farm hedgerow a few years back. Gave me the creeps because it looked like the one in duel.
Great movie
HOW CAN HE GO SO FAST!?!?
Probably turbocharged diesel
@@liamclarke5761some of them I think were 283
I think some run on bullshit.
I don't know if you've ever pulled up next to a truck without a trailer but in higher gears they can pull some serious speeds if they're not governed.
Que maravilla, un exelente film
Recuerdo haverla mirado con mi padre. Nos atrapo de una manera impresionante una tensión teníamos, ja ja ja
R.I.P Truck
Wonder if they had to load the valiant atop the rig. Just kind of sits up there battered but triumphant. "Yes you pushed me down the hill but I was sure to take you with me."
After the truck had been crashed, the producer had to find another similar one to shoot some extra footage. They could only find a later model and the differences can be spotted by the eagle-eyed.
It's great that it's still around as well 😊❤
Really good movie!
