According to Spielberg, Weaver wanted to be in the booth. So, Carey Loftin, the driver had a stake in the ground as a point of no return. If Weaver wasn't out of the booth in time, Loftin would veer left to miss it. They got it on first take.
Crazy shit ! (I was hoping it was done with a rear-projection system or something) Spielberg almost pulled a "Vic Morrow" on this shot (look him up to see what I mean). A bit reckless (even if the actor agreed to do it ...)
@@TRINZINI Completely safe. This was done in two shots. In the first shot Weaver stayed in the booth and truck passed him on the right(for the driver). You can see the truck already turning right before the cut and the change of perspective(especially in slow mo).The second shot, from a different angle, was done as described above. Then Spielberg edited two shots into one.
Thanks for the interesting fact. You can tell the first take has the truck nearly on top of him but the second from a different angle he had just enough time to get out. But can someone tell me how Dennis Weaver was able to make the phone call without telephone wires running into the phone booth? I can't be the only one noticing this... LOL
I remember watching this as the ABC Movie Of The Week series that was broadcast in the early 70s. I was a senior in high school at the time, and watched the entire thing alone that night. The suspense was Hitchcockian, and had me riveted from beginning to end... Of course, the name Steven Spielberg didn't mean much to any of us back then either, but I knew something special was involved in the production of the film 'Duel'.
I also saw it the first time it aired there was a great review in the newspaper and my mom said we have to watch this movie tonight and that's how we all saw it. If not for that review we probably would have watched something else.
It's letting the truck driver know that he will attempt to defend himself and that he is getting more angry than afraid. Your comment is typical ignorance.
What a cool roadside place, and what a cool old lady. But I had forgotten about this particular scene. I was thinking the truck would just wait on the highway till Mann chose to go out on the road again, after his call.
I used to get a really emotional, whenever I watched this scene. I used to think 'how could a truck driver be so cruel, to run over the woman's snakes and destroy their cages?' The woman was really upset at what the truck driver had done to her pride and joys.
The scary part of this movie is that there are a number of random killings every year in America and I imagine around the world. Total strangers attacked without cause and no warning they are about to be accosted!
"That's the only phone I got!" I have to remind my kids that 20+ years ago people didn't have cell phones and when you were out of the house, nobody knew where you were or what was going on. You might have a slight worry about people in the back of your head, but if they were 1/2 hour late for something you didn't panic. Watching shows about old shipwrecks was even more crazy. they would wait until a ship was overdue a month before they worried!
Absolutely beautiful movie! The woman is brilliant I loved her in the movie The Silver Streak. She plays a wigged out farm lady who flies a plane equally as brilliant a scene as this! 😂😂😂😂😂
In the 70s, people in the country lived very primitively.... Some still do today, but more back then.... If I was Dennis Weaver, I wouldn't have gotten inside that phone booth to call the police. He had to have known that truck driver would have seen him...... Great film by the way. .....
I don’t think the truck driver could see the phone booth from where he was parked. There’s a shed blocking his line of sight. He must have noticed it when he drove by. But I think he could see Weaver walk towards it.
Did the eagle eyes spot Spielbergs reflection in the booth glass ? And it is the same road & same snake lady thatJames Belushi landed on in the classic 1941another Spielberg classic.
I have thi weird feeling that this petraol station and that women appeared in another movie. One where a guy lands a plane on the road but I can't remember what it's called.
I occasionally catch glimpses of the driver in this scene and I’m telling you he is the same guy in the diner with the tan shirt sitting at the far end of the bar. I know it looks like he gets into another truck but that could have been staged. I have ALWAYS thought it was him.🤔
The shot where the truck comes in to frame at the phone booth with Mann on the phone must be some kind of trick shot. The lens is pretty wide, maybe like 28mm. So the camera would have to be like 10 feet in front of the booth and the truck would have destroyed the camera. I wonder what was done.
When I watched this as a teenager, and still today, I pull for the Truck Driver to splatter his guts on the highway. The Truck Driver obviously has more integrity than Mann.
I still can’t believe this masterpiece came out 52 years ago!!
One of my favourite films..ingenious film.

@@TRINZINI Or like Friedkin in The French Connection.

I think the under shot of the truck was awesome the way the driveshaft turns.

Another film was hitchhike Cloris Leachman and bad Ronald
1:01 - Steven Spielberg's Reflection in the Phone Booth Window!
Lol I see him
Haha nice
Or as I refer to it, the evil that the truck emitted.
Pro tip: watch series on kaldroStream. Been using them for watching loads of movies recently.
@Ramon Ridge Definitely, I've been watching on kaldrostream for years myself :)
I like the totally futile touch of Mann throwing the glass snake cage at the truck, as if that's going to achieve anything.
*throws glass case* "HEEYAAAA!"
I would've thrown a snack inside the truck to disorient the driver
It's letting the truck driver know that he will attempt to defend himself and that he is getting more angry than afraid. Your comment is typical ignorance.
Awesome!
People having a good-natured chat about a movie from the 1970s and you toss in an insult like that? You must be really popular at parties!@@bbmtge
My name is David Mann too lol
My name too is David Mann lol.
And I love snakes.
@@davidmann8253 : How do you spell that..
Stay out of the phone booths guys!!
@@davidmann8253 i wish for you don't meet that trucker 😄👍
I love these type of old videos where the sound is pitched up 😍😍
Dennis Weaver really showed his acting chops in this movie. I've never seen a better performance from him.
Weaver always delivered the goods.
He didn't pay for his gas
If I was the gas station attendant, I would've given him the benefit of a doubt if a monstrous truck was trying to kill you
How could of he..that truck driver was trying to run down ahhahaha
Hey, his money or his life?

My grandfather never liked Dennis Weaver, I have always wondered if it was him in that semi.
Great scene. Here it makes it like the truck driver just totally snapped.
Wow, Cary Loftin the stunt driver in the truck was already 57 years old at that time.
So was the Snake Lady.
Funny.... if you look closely at 2:15 the old lady has a 1958 Plymouth Fury in the back of her station.... Christine😳😂
Wasn't a belvedere used in that film.?
Poor crazy snake lady.
Looks like the spider and the iguana survived ...she probably has plenty of snakes.
"Who's the lady with the snakes ?"
"I don't know. They just call her the Snake Lady." ;)
1:03 hi mr Spielberg
😍incredible 50 years, of this pearl .(set5 -2021).
What a cool roadside place, and what a cool old lady. But I had forgotten about this particular scene. I was thinking the truck would just wait on the highway till Mann chose to go out on the road again, after his call.
The scariest scene in a movie full of scary scenes.
The scariest scene was the tunnel scene.
1:34 you can see the truck driver’s half face on the right side of the screen
Poor old lady :(
I always felt bad for her. Mean Ol truck driver. lol
I agree i love this creepy beauty
@Eidelmania
Yep me too...sad.
As a 4 year old I vagly remember my mom and dad going too the drive in too watch this movie, what a classic 👌
He just gets in his car and rolls out!😂
Fuck this, I’m out. Good luck with your snakes...
He saved her life too
1:57 To be continued...............
LOL
Funny how simple movies from back then could scare the hell out of you. They don’t do that anymore.
2019 Cats film was pretty scary 🙄
Fiction took on a whole new meaning back in the 70's! Trucks back then were gutless.
Not that truck - It was a “Souped Up Diesel “.
That's why David Mann gets a Dodge with a slant 6 two barrel to make it a fair fight.
All that mattered to the lady was her snakes
Her livelihood most likely
3:05 Love the way that thing sounds on the way out
Cummins 220 and 335 sounded the best. It's one of those two by the sound.
@@1965Gindy A Cummins always sounds good 😌
@@KingCeee I've actually started to like them better than the old detroits.
@@1965Gindy Yeah. Cummins engines are really reliable. Especially in a 2nd gen Ram
@@KingCeee actually those second gen ram Cummins sound close to the old 220 Cummins. Listen to both and you'll see
1:03 Cellular phone 1971.🚪📞📱
You couldn't do that these days, as your transport manager would be on the phone within 5 mins asking why your driving in circles.
And why does the computer show you driving 90 MPH?
"That's the only phone I GOT!" 😆🤣
You get the distinct feeling that by this time the truck driver has totally lost it.🤪
😁🙃
1:56 *It Was At This Moment He Knew.. He Goofed Up-*
That same old lady was in 1941 she owned the gas station Wild Bill Kelso filled up at.
I used to get a really emotional, whenever I watched this scene. I used to think 'how could a truck driver be so cruel, to run over the woman's snakes and destroy their cages?' The woman was really upset at what the truck driver had done to her pride and joys.
I’ve always wondered how he explained his car to the insurance company 😂
I think that was his least of problems
Try and explain to his Mrs.
@@ayubmatadar1136 🤣👍
who carried car insurance in the 70s?
He trolled her by running to where the snakes were, so the truck driver would run them over.
that absolute bastard
No, he was running for his life.
he trolled her, lol. Modern adjectives for old situations!
That's not true 😑
The scary part of this movie is that there are a number of random killings every year in America and I imagine around the world. Total strangers attacked without cause and no warning they are about to be accosted!
It's easier for cowardly people to kill unsuspecting strangers, as they aren't usually armed or prepared. No honor among cowards.
@@photonjones5908 Nowadays a LOT of strangers ARE armed.
When the truck shows up and says who do you think your calling
That lady was in Silver Streak with Gene Wilder.

Thwt scene is SO cool.
1971. I was schooling at Clifford Secondary School in Kuala Lipis...
If that was in real life the guy would’ve been charged with damage to property
I felt bad for the old lady more than anything.
And you didn't feel bad for the snake👎
@@bush-b5330 I did as well
@@IsaacActs86 Congrats! Now i know you have a heart 🖤
Absolutely beautiful movie! The woman is brilliant I loved her in the movie The Silver Streak. She plays a wigged out farm lady who flies a plane equally as brilliant a scene as this! 😂😂😂😂😂
poor snake lady.
I did her last night 😮
The driver must have been psychic. Storming for the phone booth at that speed.
Hello Universal Studio? Your crazy director is trying to kill me! I'm quitting this movie!
Vic Morrow should have made that call too !
Poor old woman 😢 I feels so sad about her
1:10 and 1:53 I like to report a truck driver that’s been endangering my life!!!
@Girl Burp Videos Whichever’s closer and this number is 9821.
Shit was hilarious when the truck was honking his horn trying to run him over 😅📯 LOL

The truck driver is a road bully
Duh. Lol
and snowflakes today call anything a Road Rage incident ! Back in my days in the 70s, THIS was Road Rage ! ;)
@@TRINZINI still is the case, really.
@TRINZINI they just shoot you now
A aparência do caminhão é aterrorizante!
Excelente filme de Steven Spielberg!!!
Trinity 18 years before.
This was one of his first movies. The snake later played the lead role in Anaconda.
research before commenting. He also played the cobra in Enter the Dragon in 19 and 73.
2:29 Deja vu
I don’t think the truck driver could see the phone booth from where he was parked.
There’s a shed blocking his line of sight.
He must have noticed it when he drove by. But I think he could see Weaver walk towards it.
Great movie I wish they would put it on Tubi or Pluto. emperor of the north is another great one
That's pretty bad ass
Did the eagle eyes spot Spielbergs reflection in the booth glass ? And it is the same road & same snake lady thatJames Belushi landed on in the classic 1941another Spielberg classic.
Super super super👍
When lizards, snakes, spiders, and coyotes are the least of your problems
A time before Cell/Mobile phones ha ha ….. Now people drive and use them! This guy was driving at the wrong time 😂
What I couldn't ever figure out was what was the beef that trucker had with Mr. Mann
It was like a trucker’s rodeo wild west style.
I guess the cell site coverage wasn't so good in this area.
There was no cell phones back then.
Lucille Benson aka the Snake Lady.
Obra prima do produtor Spilberg com apenas 25 anos em 1971👏👏👏👏👏👍🇺🇸.
Steven Spielberg nació el 18 de diciembre de 1946. ¡Ahora haz los cálculos!
@@gerohubner5101 25 anos👏👏👍
I have thi weird feeling that this petraol station and that women appeared in another movie. One where a guy lands a plane on the road but I can't remember what it's called.
1941
North by Northwest, starring Cary Grant, directed by Alfred Hitchcock. Might be, as a nod to that movie.
She flew a plane in Silver Streak. Funny performance.
Is that a Plymouth Belvedere/Fury behind the house?
CURTIS8516 Could be. Noone knows where she was gone after being crushed...
damn nice determination,but she was so young in film :) after 12 years Stephen King inspired and write the book :)
i watched some trailers before ''Christine 2'' she reborn and her radio starts playing again :D
Too bad David Mann didn't have a glock pistol in his hand so he could unload into the cab of that truck & s.o.b. inside. 🤣🤣🤣
He almost got ran over 🤣
Matrix actually copies this scene a little.
My Snakes
これぞスピルバーグ監督の最高傑作‼️😃😸
Best gas station ever.
Why'd he do that?
I occasionally catch glimpses of the driver in this scene and I’m telling you he is the same guy in the diner with the tan shirt sitting at the far end of the bar. I know it looks like he gets into another truck but that could have been staged. I have ALWAYS thought it was him.🤔
There is no him. The truck is a monster.
No, it is not!! It is a man, you can clearly see the feet of the person driving the truck. Lol, monster?? Naah@@toddduchesne1749
Oh my, not her snakes. Good riddance.
Actually what is the reason for this provoke.

Who's driving that damn truck????
Cary Loftin
like none of these movies are that time accurate, so if it was real life he wouldve gotten mowed down in that phone booth.
Tóth Arnold that's why it's a movie duh
this film is more Real Life than real life itself !
The truck driver didn’t want to run over Mann. That’s why he blew the horn. He wanted Mann on the road so he could terrorize him some more.
Whereas thankfully, movies today entirely accurate and realistic 🧐
At 2:09................is anyone driving this truck ?
No. The truck is supposed to be a monster.
NO, it is not! The movie shows of the man driving the truck several times, we can even see the driver waving at Mann!!@@toddduchesne1749
When I watched this as a teenager, and still today, I pull for the Truck Driver to splatter his guts on the highway. The Truck Driver obviously has more integrity than Mann.
the truck driver was cowardly really. couldnt confrount daivd face to face. only wanted it when he had a clear advantage.
There were a lot of psychos in the 70s serial killers,stalkers,mass murderers etc.
Rapaz se fosse eu teria escondido no mato pra nunca mais ver uma carreta 😅
Toje fajne
I don't like the phone ! N
Ssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss
All through the movie you'll never get to see the truck driver just his hand and feet
Top film...better than jaws..I never new the end scene was done with toys and fake cliff..looks real enough
