In the 1971 movie "DUEL," the Peterbilt 281 truck serves as a menacing and relentless antagonist, looming large on the screen with its imposing presence. A symbol of mechanical power and unyielding force, the Peterbilt 281 becomes a character in its own right, instilling fear and unease in viewers. With its gleaming rusty grimy grille, roaring engine, and colossal size, the truck inflicts an embodiment of terror as it relentlessly pursues the protagonist's car, showcasing the raw and unrelenting power of the open road. Its distinctive appearance and unwavering pursuit make the Peterbilt 281 an iconic and unforgettable element of the movie, leaving a lasting impression on audiences.

I first saw this movie around 1976 as a 12 year old and is probably one of the reasons I've been driving a tanker truck for the last 25 years.😁
don’t murder anyone or have psychopathic tendencies inspired by watching this :D
1971 sim
The one and only road rage film. A masterpiece. Brilliant.
With the extreme road-rage cases seemingly becoming exponentially more common following COVID, this film becomes more relevant today. I just hope nobody does a stupid remake...
@@culcune why? because of the 💉?..
@@jeffbyrnes3686 I recall watching these channels through COVID before the vaccines and coming out of COVID (again, before vaccines were out there for the masses) and people were driving CRAZILY as seen on dashcam. The early theory was that people were cooped up so long, they did not know how to 'act' once the lockdowns eased up. I feel that COVID slightly altered our brains for the worse. I am fairly certain the vaccines did, too, so they could be a reason why we have continued our crazy driving long after being cooped up would still have any mental effect on us.
@@jeffbyrnes3686I think because everyone got used to less traffic and now there's so much more traffic again
Except it's not about road rage. It's about a seemingly psychopathic killer.
The Primary Truck for this movie was a 57. 281... The second rig used for the movie was a 64...THAT truck was a real 351.. The 60 Pete ( the only surviving truck left from the movie ) is a 281 I know this because i am the former owner of the 60 ( one of the pix you have of the 60 is it sitting in my driveway here in Burbank CA )
( the 3 added on scenes were done with the 64 351 )
Brad is taking good care of the rig and even found it a lil red Valiant to chase around when it gets board 😏
The film that got Spielberg's movie career up and running. Overshadowed by his later work, but still a minor classic. The truck is a bit like the Barris car featured on this channel recently - evil manifested as a machine adversary. This is a great top ten.
Oh yeah, seeing this movie as a 9 year old kid was something else! Instead of a guy in a monster suit - it was THIS, and was I ever captivated! And right now I'm in the process of putting finishing touches on a Duel 1/25 scale model of this truck - and I'm having a BLAST with it putting grease and grime accents on it - sooo cool!!
Nice 😉👍
A few others that would be interesting would be... Jim Rockford's Firebird, The Fall Guy GMC 4x4, Snowman's Kenworth in the original Smokey and the Bandit, Rubber Duck Mack in Convoy, Magnum's Ferrari 308, Knight Rider Firebird. Just to name a few. 😊
Indeed friend, so very many to do and I'll keep on making more and more for as long as I'm able to do so. Thanks for those suggestions 🙂👍
I got one: The cars from the live action Speed Racer movie....or Mach 5's that a few companies have built to actually sell.
?
Benji and Moose's GMC Crackerbox from Movin' On!!
@@DanEBoyd Not to mention... Sonny Pruitt's Kenworth!
Kitt is referred to as a transam when he called a brand of car
i saw this on tv as a kid in the mid-70s and it frightened the heck out of me.
*Old Peterbilt 281 Truck İmmortal American🇺🇸Legend🦅*
The only minor discrepancy I found is the other truck on screen was a 1964. The 64 doesn’t have the drip rail over the windshields like the 55 and 60. Great video, thank you very much!
Cannot believe that truck is from 1955!? Even though the movie is a 1971, the truck looked so modern to my novice eyes.
The crashing tanker scene from Duel were also used in an Incredible Hulk TV episode. Even as a kid I was wise to it.
If you watch carefully, a few 1970s era ABC Battlestar Galactica scenes-space battles, Cyclons are used in other Sci Fi films-shows 📺. They are run to show background movie or a TV screen image
What's that got to do with the truck from duel ?
@@jjMcCartan9686
The point was about them recycling footage like the Duel footage being used in The Incredible Hulk.
That's what.
I believe the Hulk episode was called Never Give A Trucker An Even Break, they used one of the 1960 trucks to film extra scenes to tie it into the Hulk show.
@@BlueMule74 guess I was told wrong then, I wasn’t actually there I’m just relying on what I’d heard.
Way back in high school, I knew someone who had a similar Plymouth Valiant that he paid $125 for and beat it to death. We were bouncing it off snow banks one afternoon when we noticed flames poking out from under the hood. Pulled over, popped the hood and tossed snow on it, fixed a leaky gas line, cranked it up and kept on going. This movie always makes me think of that.
Those Slant 6 Chrysler engine's may not have been the most powerful things to ever come out of Detroit but they'd run forever.
I had my share of them that I abused the hell out of and they'd just keep running.
Such an excellent flick
That's awesome thank you
Great channel and information 👍
Thanks much friend and glad you are enjoying it🙂👍
The 281 had one drive axle and a non-powered dual wheel tag axle,, while the 351's were tandem dive axles.
I always felt the unpowered tandem axle was a dirty bit of cheating!
You made my dreams come true. Thank you
Glad to hear you enjoyed it 👍
Loved the film. These facts really helped me the mystery of mine with the film.👍
Glad to hear it and it is indeed a great one for sure 😀👍
Great movie, great vid.
Thanks much 👍
You are doing a great job easy to follow great beginning photos explanation, excellent. Cheers from Milton Mike.
Thanks much and glad you are enjoying it 🙂👍
Great movie.
Indeed 😉👍
I seriously need to see this movie.
Yes, it is a true classic for sure! 😁👍
You wouldn't be disappointed.
Very cool info!!!!!!!!!! 👍👍
Glad you enjoyed it. 🙂👍
Great film! It was literally Jaws on wheels 👍
It sure was indeed! :-)
This video is great! Now make video of killer facts about christine (1958 Plymouth Fury)
Thanks friend. Yep, I'm saving that one for around Halloween time as it one of my all time favorite car movies 😁
love this film
😉👍
2024 and still my favourite movie ever!
😉👍
Only just found this channel, fantastic work. Would love so see one on 'Christine'
Thanks! Yep, she's already on the list for sure; just saving her for around Halloween time 👍
Passado caminhão homem rosto nada mau terror 😮carro ele medo hum..1971 53 anos
😉
I just had to watch this for Halloween was a great late movie
It's a great one for the season indeed 😉👍
Great video facts. But no one talks about the Plymouth Valiant car, probably a sleeper muscle car.
Yeah, I'd like to do a video on that one sometime too. 😉👍
You gotta do the V-8 Interceptor from Mad Max!!!
Indeed, that is also on my large list already. I'm probably going to be doing this for years now going forward; so will eventually have all the GREATS like that done 😁👍
Keep the facts comming. 👍Great channel.
The "Dinosaur sound effect" is commonly used afterwards Spielbergs movies. It is also the sound of one of the bosses in Duke Nukem 3D
Thanks much friend and glad you are enjoying it! Yep, that signature sound effect has made it's way into a number of flicks for sure ;-)
@@CarStarz42 I really enjoy your channel and all the facts! I'd love if you make a fact collection about the Mack truck from "Convoy" It's one of my favorites ❤
@@Yoshi1478 Glad to hear that friend and although I don't plan to do a lot of semi truck vids since cars are my main focus; however I may do that one and a few others in the future 😉👍
Anyone who has driven a truck knows even a slant 6 mopar could run circles around that truck.
Agreed! That's probably why there's the spot in the movie where Weaver's character is thinking to himself... "Every time I feel safe, I slow down without thinking." It's something like that, anyway. 😊
Not in high altitude, carbs are set for the altitude they usually purchased in. You can have a 350 4 barrel vehicle and have it at wide open throttle in the mountains and it'll only do 45 mph
@@vintagesavoiur
They weren't in that kind of altitude in the movie, you're talking about the 3 passes in the Rockies.
And a 350 will go faster than 45 MPH, that's a gross exaggeration.
@@vintagesavoiur On a hill you are not even going to be going 45 with an old truck. With that vintage you could stick your head out the window and count the lugnuts go by.
@@1958johndeere620
Yep, I live in a very hilly area in Pennsylvania and am always reminding my friends of "back in the day" when you'd get stuck behind a loaded truck that would literally crawl up a hill with black diesel smoke pouring out of it's exhaust you'd be choking on the whole way.
Back then your average truck engine made 325 to 350 HP with a 450 HP engine being the "big hammer", now 550 HP is common with 650 HP+ being a big hammer in an equipment mover.
The Valiant was originally beige and repainted red for the movie so it would stand out more in the desert.
I grew up on those "complicated" 5X3 or 5X4 (Mack, Spicer) twin sticks and you couldn't beat them, yes Eaton and Fuller where simpler, but you had more ratio range with the older transmissions.
This movie inspired me to drive my pedal car like an a$$hole when I was young
Them Caterpillar diesels showed no mercy.
😉👍
Great tv film that helped Spielberg get ideas for Jaws.
Indeed. 😉👍
There are some clearly visible differences between the 1955 Peterbilt 281 and the 1964 Peterbilt 351 in this movie:
1) The box that is placed at the back of the Peterbilt 281 cab is attached directly to it, while that one of the Peterbilt 351 has a base.
2) In the vast majority of scenes the Peterbilt 281 doesn't have visible trailer cables or air lines, while the Peterbilt 351 does; they're placed on a vertical support on the chassis, between the cab and the trailer.
3) The trailer is hitched further from the Peterbilt 351 cab than the Peterbilt 281 cab, due to the Peterbilt 351's longer chassis.
4) The Peterbilt 281 doesn't have rear mud flaps, but you can see that the Peterbilt 351 has two Kenworth rear mud flaps fitted.
Kind regards.
Cool, would have never noticed all that myself, but good to know. Thanks 😉👍
@@CarStarz42 You're welcome! 😊✌
Am I the only fella that wanted the trucker to win this duel?
I'm sure Dennis Weaver was a nice guy but sweating buckets as he engaged warp factor 1 to reach a whopping 70 miles per hour?? He needed squished like the bugs on the trucks windshield 😉
Another great upload....thanks.
Thanks much.
Well, I know Brad Wike, the last DUEL truck's current owner, shares your opinion on that at least 😉...
th-cam.com/video/6_BOdddojzc/w-d-xo.html
You'd be sweating bullets too if you were being chased by a semi while driving a car that made only about 75HP and 110TQ with no A/C in a 120+F desert....
@@KYoss68 That would be terrifying indeed! 😮
@KYoss68 Yes, the slant 6 may have been a stout and reliable engine, but it wasn't a powerhouse. :-)
My '71 Duster w/slant 6 could do an easy 110 mph with 4 people in the car. In reality this would have been a 5 minute movie.@@gregmaday1331
11: The various license plates are intended to convey that the trucker is a serial killer. Those are his trophies.
12: The bumper guard is made out of railroad rail.
Indeed 😉👍
Think I read somewhere the tanker was ex-air force hence it hadn’t many miles on it, plus it was shorter than a normal road going one so lighter and better for the driving scenes.
well, it's always looked USAF tanker to me ;) yep
As an owner of an old red slant-6 Valiant, lets get the "hero" car a vid!
Yeah, I'll catch it when eventually making second rounds through my list. So very many movies to cover 😉
Always loved this movie. So much suspense and a great ending, which makes you jump up from your seat in relief.
This is odd: At 1:30, you show tthe difference in the air filter housing, which matches with the appearances in the original and added scenes. Then at 3:00 you show the 1960 survivor back-up truck, which has strangely the 1955 horizontal air filter. Is that a conversion by the new owner?
Indeed, the new owner did that to more match the original '55 truck and the engine was rebuild right before he bought it back in 2009 also 😁👍
@@CarStarz42 Thanks for confirming! Love your videos, all my favourite movie cars are there and many things I didn't know before. Keep up the good work!👍
@@foolishwatcher Thanks again and will do. I'll most likely be at this for years to come as there's just so many great car movies out there! 🙂👍
@@CarStarz42 My rubberduck r model mack diecast model just arrived. Hope you cover RD at some stage .Great series your doing here .
And the petrol station/ snake Lady scene was the same location that he used in another of his classic 1941. When Belushi lands the Zero on the same road. And if you pause it you can see Spielbergs reflection in on the phone booth glass.
Cool😉👍
I always thought that they should have never shown the driver, as if the truck was possessed.
Jeepers creepers and Duel are the most icons for horror.
Yep, the JC truck already on my long to do list also 😉 Thanks
After all the times I have watched this movie, I just noticed in your clips the front bumper is made from mine rails.🤔🤔🤔
A couple of comments on here state the truck cliff dive scene was re-used for the Incredible Hulk.
I recall the same cliff dive scene being used in something and the tanker being full of computer circuit boards - was that the Hulk story or something else please?
You should do a video on the creeper truck from jeepers creepers
Wow, that's one I totally haven't thought about, but it's on the rapidly growing to do list now; thanks!
Today on the way to work a bigrig decided I wasn't going fast enough and pulled to about a foot behind my car on the highway... I just ignored him and when we went uphill he lost speed due to being fully loaded and never caught up. Then we both passed a highway patrol car at the side of the road but the truck was so far back everything looked normal. Didn't stop, gotta get to work...

The lesson of the movie is that humans are just one close step away from the "jungle", as the Dennis Weaver character calls it in the movie. And he's right. Humans will kill humans with very little provocation, even in our modern world.
Maybe so
white lightning movie car 1971 ford custorm 500 in your next video mayby ☺
That is one that's already on my quite large to do list 😉👍
I think that was the one that showed Burt in a chase shifting a 4 on the floor, then throws the column shifter into park when he stopped.
@gearbanger57 Yes, that is correct. I recall reading somewhere that the scene of him shifting the four-speed was actually shot in a Mustang.
Will you be doing Ryan O Neals The Driver please?
Yep, that one's already on the to do list too 🙂👍
Wooooooo
😉👍
Fact number 11 Steven Spielberg’s Duel appears in the Hulk TV series
Wasn't the 2nd truck used for the incredible hulk episode that reused duel scenes that Steven was not happy about?
How about the Packard hearse in the movie The Hearse??? And the dodge ambulance in Cannonball Run???? And Roscoe Plymouth fury police car.
Yep, all of those are indeed already on my large to do list. Thanks 😉👍
@@CarStarz42 👍👍👍
I don't like the movie at all, but it's such a cool look truck, and it's great that one is still about. Seen videos of it driving, and it looks amazing.
The Peterbilt in Duel is my favorite character/movie vehicle. Second place goes to Christine
Indeed, I'll cover Christine come the Halloween season as it is one of my favorites, so I've been saving it 😉👍
@@CarStarz42 That will be awesome!
i always thought the truck was a "autocar" not a pete.... hmmmm
@@ianfosbrook8406 Since I was a kid I remember the Duel truck being a Pete because my grandpa used to drive a old Peterbilt the same vintage but he hauled lumber
I never noticed a difference in the trucks.
Can you do one on the jeepers creepers van?
That one is on my to do list to do around Halloween season along with one of my favorites; Christine, that I'm saving for October as well 😉
Can you do the Mack from convoy
That one is indeed already on my very large to do list 😉👍
Oh no 100.000.00 YEAR😮
😉👍
How is that damn thing so fast
Mostly camera trickery, but still 😉👍
Toller Beitrag aber im Film ist der dem Wagen so schnell gefolgt hatte der einen frisierten super Diesel
Actually, King did a lot of undercranking of the frame rate when filming this movie to make things feel faster than they were 😉
I did a spoof of Duel called Chase
Lol, cool 😉👍
do mad max car pls thanks
You introduce your vid by saying "StarCarz" :)
Lol, yeah; I've done that a few times in the past, but I'm in the process of going through all of my old videos and correcting small errors like that for my move over to the new platform; I already fixed up this one actually 😉... rumble.com/v4nyxie-10-killer-facts-about-the-truckers-55-peterbilt-281-duel.html
The tv show the Hulk used scenes from this movie
So the scariest truck to ever be seen on film that can run faster then lower class dodge dart unless the dart was equipped with 360 v8 that help it getaway but no one noticed one plot hole of radiator hose need to replace as stated earlier in the movie is why it overheated when going up hill scene anyway thanks for the video and have a weakened bye now.
😁
😄😄.
The movie was so basic but great😁
True indeed 😉
Just saw a Rockford Files "The Dark and Bloody Ground" (S1E2) where Rockford is tormented by a big rig. It looked a lot like Duel. Was pretty intense too. (Spoiler - Jim out smarter him, but you don't know how 😁)
Mmm are jeepers creepers 🤔
😉
This movie proves one thing. Always drive a V8!!!!!
😀
Nice XB profile pic
Fix your sound please thank you.
Done... rumble.com/v4nyxie-10-killer-facts-about-the-truckers-55-peterbilt-281-duel.html
I always cheered on the big truck to catch Dennis Weaver and smash him off the road 🤪 God what an annoying whiney character he played in that movie.
It needs a 600hp Cummins and 18 spd Fuller tranny
Now that is hell of an idea for a replica/tribute truck
