Duel - Only the action scenes

[luis22892]

the quality is great!! thanks!

[bommmmmmmm]

I convinced a 20 year old friend to sit down and watch this movie telling him it was one of the best movies I have ever seen. At the end I turned around and asked what he thought. “The special effects were a bit crap” came the reply. I decided there was no point in trying to make him understand.

[tall32guy]

This seems to be the only posting I can find on Youtube anymore that had the Godzilla roar and all the original noises when the truck goes over the cliff! LOL

[1skullduggery]

speilberg on the set, deep in thought: i wonder if this would work using a shark instead of a truck...hmmm.

[easyjettoo]

great movie awsome truck thanks for posting

[NicksHorrorReviews]

This is from Richard Matheson and Stephen Speilberg. So you KNOW it's good even if you've never seen it before

[82KITTknight]

that rig must have been going all out, fire walling , or going flat out pedal to the metal

[Bornandbledfilms]

This is so awesome. I love great actions scenes. Thankyou so much for posting this. I have done a few action scenes myself on my channel if you want a look.

Cheers

[duxjackson]

Sure i had this truck after me in Scotland a few years back!!! Thought of DUEL straight away! Was like i was TOWING IT or something!!! Classic film :)

Think NIKKI has maybe had the same thing happen to him now... shall tweet him!!!

[afroman255]

the best truck movies Duel and Joyride

[60camarochick]

I agree, I could watch this over and over..one of the best movies...Keeps you on edge and Dennis Weaver was awesome! I never heard a car sound that way when "she" was giving up. But who cares, it adds to the adrenaline! Thanks for posting this.....

[rchris36]

Some movies you watch are around 120-135 minutes and you wish they could be around 90. Duel is around 90 but you wish it could maintain this for around 180 minutes! INTENSITY!

[KiloByte69]

Trucks are incredible.

[KiloByte69]

Comon car...COME ON LETS GO!!!!

[nik1969100]

One of the best cult movies ever made.

[FrenchPropagandaV1RR]

great mix man, congratulations :-)

[tensor17]

1:11 ... baaahahahahahaha

[gunny556fly]

waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aah!!!!!!!!!! pore plymouth! poor peterbuilt!

[KBOH0301]

I remember first watching this movie when I was a kid; love the scene with Dennis Weaver in sheer panic yelling "C'MON!!!!" Just a great great film!

[Aurorasr91rs91]

The driver didn't escaped, the system that was installed to keep the truck straight failed so at the last moment the stuntman got out. Still it could be a vain attempt to escape. source: imdb ( the Internet movie database )

[MisterMasterShafter]

Stuntman or actual trucker doing this to a guy, if my truck's about to go off a cliff to a fiery end, I'm gettin' out of it - or tryin'. So it works either way.

[TheMrBlinx]

@MisterMasterShafter Then they would have both been on foot and would have had to fight to see who could push the other off the cliff! *hehe*

BTW, did you notice the horn honk for a second as it was going over? That sure helped, didn't it?!

[only257]

gripping story, good performances classic film

[rchris36]

Show me a movie that has this level of intensity with only 1 main human character? That's what separates this movie from any other i've seen: the intensity level with so few characters. You can't take your eyes off it.

[likestallwomen]

@rchris36 No kiddin'!

[Exfuneralcoachdriver]

[TheMackeySupremacy]

i dont think Dennis Weaver won an Acadamy Award for this did he?

[blackwaxjh]

No he didn't. This movie was originally aired on television in November of 1971. It did so well that Universal had Steven Spielberg shoot some additional footage to increase the length of the movie to 90 minutes so it could be released theatrically outside the US. The original TV movie broadcast didn't have the sequences with the kids on the school bus and the scene with the truck trying to push the car on to the railroad tracks.

[Kuson2]

Call me crazy...but someone could live through that wreak,ya they would be badly hurt(And yes they could die)But I think it's unlikely.

[dimsdale321]

Oh, and to all the fans (myself included) debating whether the driver escaped just before the truck went over the cliff. Pause at 4:17, that is clearly the silhouette of the stuntman, although i don't think they wanted you to see that. As you're meant to be keeping your eyes on the truck cab and the car. But that still doesn't take anything, and i mean anything from this awesome movie. Some of Steven Spielberg's greatest work.

[McSjoom]

I don't see the silhouette?

[dimsdale321]

At 4:17 look directly above the truck cab and you will see a silhouette of the driver/stuntman, slowly getting up, and moving away. Watch it several times, you will see it. Admittedly the dust cloud makes it less clear.

[McSjoom]

I think I see it, above the right door?

[dimsdale321]

It's quite hard to see, he appears for about 1 second only. Also notice that the door is wide open, a dead giveaway that he dived out the left hand side.

[dimsdale321]

I don't know if anyone can help, but in my dvd version, it is missing the dinosaur-like roar, as the truck goes off the cliff. That really annoyed me cause i thought it was an awesome effect, as if the truck was a T-Rex devouring a velociraptor or something like that. If anyone knows why it isn't on the dvd please let me know, thanks.

[smithco995]

I am also a huge fan of this movie, and I also have the DVD. If you want to get the original TV sound thack than you have to go to the main menu. Frome there you will click on "ENGLISH2.0 MONO (original sound thack) and then once you click on it the yellow line will go to the NUNE and then click on that. then you will be back at the menue. And just click play. You will also hear other different sounds threw out the movie. Hope this helps.

[dimsdale321]

Thanks. I'll give that a try. I really appreciate you taking the time to explain how to acquire the original soundtrack. Thanks again for being so kind.

[smithco995]

You bet. Nothing like the original. Although the other one is different.

[Kuson2]

I agree,the t-rex roar at the end adds to the "Holy shit" factor of seeing it go over the cliff.

[oneweirdfellah]

They used the same "roar" in the movie "Jaws" when the shark starts to sink to the bottom of the ocean,Theres a bit of trivia!

[Hiei2k7]

1:36

Bumper is the Autocar bumper, with 2 Train Rails in front of it.

[staypress]

I wonder who the guy was in the lorry maybe it was dale wintern

[CSILCPD]

what is that movie about?

a truck driver who´s gone crazy?

[saveWHO50]

life in the fast lane

[ThatHaloNerd117]

basically just a normal serial killer who has killed at least seven other people identafiable by the many plates on the front

[dodgedavis]

very cool ending! most enigmatic!

[igotbored44]

i like this. No character developtment, No plot, Car chase only..... yeah...

[MrFirthguy]

@igotbored44 ya it is just genius

[bambirette1]

One of the best horror flicks ever... A CLASSIC

[MegaRKK]

The Peterbilt is truely the the truck from hell !!!

[garyspeedy]

Dennis Weaver has his seatbelt on

and off and on and off. Low budget

movie by Universal. Still, this movie

is quite thrilling.

[tall32guy]

It was Spielberg's first "professional" film for the masses. Whaddya expect?! LOL He hadn't had that much experience.

[paulfrostvxr]

this movie is bestest!

[UnicronTGOC]

1:05, i have a picture of this and i've used it as wallpaper on my phone U.U

[UnicronTGOC]

Its like a timewarp, going back in time.

[burrfscott]

I myself had a bolex super 8 mm camera,however,i didnt know until tonight that Duel was shot in the super 8 format. i really thought that Steven shot in either arri 16 or a 35mm.

[guguigugu]

i love this movie!

[herbienbrian]

I live about a hundred feet from the train crossing at 1:50 :DD

[QuebecCentral]

where is this crossing ?

[herbienbrian]

in a little town in the middle of no where california called Acton.

[ccrinc]

that middle of no where is los angeles county.

[herbienbrian]

well, yeah. But you'd never guess it was an hour and a half away from beverly hills would you?

[scaramoochscaramooch]

no cell phones in those days!! how did we do it???

[triplexgearjammer]

You know what?????.........I've seen where alot of guys are claiming to have this little nugget of movie history(the truck it's self).....If you've searched youtube for it lately, and you own it, post a F@#$IN video showing us............

[rustandgrease]

Type "duel truck" in a search and you will find the website for it. Also, I think "convoyduel" on youtube is the guy that owns it. Check out his youtube channel and he has his website posted there as well. One way or the other you will see the pictures of it and, yes it does exist.

[REDNECKDUKEBOY]

it was a gas truck, so should'nt it have exploded?

[MrXzibit1]

It was a gas truck but it does'nt mean it has anything in it, Not in that old shitheap lol.

[Clevinger67]

This is Steven Spielberg directing before he was famous. It might also be the first time a vehicle went over a cliff and didn't explode in a movie. As a trucker myself, I can tell you that there are actually some drivers out there psycho enough to do something like this.

[lithopoonwit]

This movie was his only real masterpiece.

[tall32guy]

Huh??? Ever heard of ET? Schindler's List? Saving Private Ryan, and all those? LOL

[lithopoonwit]

I loved Saving Private Ryan too. But this movie Duel was so great because of it's simplicity. That's why i loved the Blair witch project, low budget, nothing really happens, but a great atmosphere.

[p3ople200]

the seen at 1:27 is a different truck than the one that acttually went over the sliff that truck after the movie sat for about thirty years as of 2007 then it was rebought and now is sometimes soon in hollywood callyfornia

[tomcam808]

LOL best movie in existence

[ganimed1976]

like David vs Goliath ;)

Yeah that old Peterbilt turbodiesel truck look bad ass......I like that movie.

[melodyiskey]

i like this film because it shows how any regular person can have his life turned upside down at any time and make you realize what is important..he was worried about the hood of the car one minute and then was jumping all over it the next minute...love it still..one of my favorites...thanks for posting these scenes.

[Dulein]

When you read the synoposis of this movie, it says a salesman driving a "rented car" across the desert ......... Has anyone seen ANY indication that he is driving a rental car? When he leaves his house, he drives out of his garage, and he has photos on his sunvisor, which doesnt

necessarily mean its his car, but I havnt ever seen anything to indicate that its a rental car either. He was also pretty fussy about the kids sitting on his hood, after he slid into a fence .

[bigstretch100]

At last stock. ;) I drove an old '85 Mack Superliner that topped out at a whopping 52mph bobtailing or empty trailer! lol

[MisterMasterShafter]

Three flicks creeped the shit outta me when I was a kid. Psycho, Night of the Living Dead, and Duel. My uncle was a trucker and he told me there were some, a small minority, that liked to harass motorists out on lonely stretches of highway. This flick is tense, suspenseful, and sometimes straight creepy the way the truck seemingly comes outta nowhere and then just stays right on his ass, even at nearly 100 MPH.

[micksquizzy]

@MisterMasterShafter those trucks can go that fast in fact thats the maximum a truck can go



[JRRACING1327]

I remember watching them film this in front of my house when I was a kid,they went up and down the same mountain pass three times and made it look like it took forever. It actually only takes about 5 minutes. Shame they fucked up that bitchin old pete.

[MisterMasterShafter]

There are more "action scenes" than this in this film.

[fehlberg2]

absolutely one of the most entertaining films of all time i love it what pisser the bloke in the red plymouth getting chased is good at building panic he just on his way to a job and has to have a go at the sicko truckie or die

[SJ363]

the starting music is just the same music in a loop

[lk4817]

It never shows the driver.

[AndyGriff72]

You see the driver briefly (although not his face) when the truck overtakes the car at the beginning of the film. Also, you see his hand and his feet while he's stopped at the service station in Acton! The driver (Carey Loftin, who was quite a famous stuntman or, more specifically, stunt driver) was by all accounts quite a jolly fellow and lived to the ripe old age of 83, thanks, presumably, to his ability to jump out of trucks just before they fell off a cliff.

[KartKing4ever]

yeah it tells you who it is in the credits but you never see his face but bye the VIDEO not dvd and look real close at the cabin of the truck in the back of the box you can see him laughing and he looks like he is crazy

[jpgbrookes]

@KartKing4ever

back when I had the video, I noticed that too lol

[KartKing4ever]

@jpgbrookes wow you actually looked all the way back here 

[MrConservativeGuy]

We all know that a remake of this classic film wouldn't come close to the original. Perhaps Spielberg would consider making a sequel to Duel, since the driver door on that truck was open before it went over the cliff. Hmmmmm....

[MrConservativeGuy]

Perhaps my favorite movie of all time! I could never get tired of watching this. This was when moviemaking was more simplistic, but a hell of a lot BETTER! I love that roaring sound the truck makes as it goes over the cliff! LOL

[nmzanie]

tires tend not to squeal on dirt roads

[o7p]

just one gerat video

[dueltruck700]

bye bye awesome truck...

[RCBPearce]

I believe one of the trucks used in the film still exists and has been restored, along with its trailer.

[dueltruck700]

it is actually its in st loughie i think...check out the website..look it up on google

[KBOH0301]

This has always been one of my favorite movies. They should make a sequel, Duel II: The Truckers Story! Thanks robytar!

[graboid78]

my bro's friend thinks that he sits in he's car the whole movie

[caching60098]

Your right on the money, Bf....I know persons with MS' and PhD's that believe other wise. Such is life! Thanx for the reply....

[caching60098]

This was one of Steve Speilberg's first movies. This was made for TV. Speilberg had the class to show that car crashes don't end up in explosions and fire. Look up train crashes on youtube and you won't find one fire ball, just a lot of twisted metal. I watch MythBusters on the Discovery Channel to separate fact from fiction. Also, firing bullets into a gas tank won't make it explode or start the car on fire!

[Bf2009]

Of course. Gasoline doesn't explode like gun powder, or even catch fire at all from merely a collision, even a giant tanker. It catches fire like wood. And unless the bullets are incendiary or explosive, but otherwise correct. Shoot a gas, diesel or propane tank and even the tanks that feed flamethrowers and they'll simply leak.

[porsche928ireland]

@Bf2009 that is untill the gasoline spills onto a hot exaust manofold and reaches flashpoint.........

[beerdogfood]

Ironically, in Richard Matheson's short story, the truck blew up.

[Bf2009]

I love it how the actor left the truck door open when he bailed out. But I have to say, they picked the perfect truck for this movie. It's just the "face" of it.

[pacfan4]

lol at the end both the car and truck must have ran out of fuel, hence no explosion

[peterbiltexd]

at the railway scene that truck had a 220cummins and what a sound they make

[SouthConquest]

that looks so cool

[Tidermans]

I wouldnt want that truck all up my ass when that train is passing thats for sure

[tigerwoman]

Haha... the bar fight was funny.

[USCHoodman]

hah old speilberg suspense filming, influenced by hitchcock

[SmittyHeWasNumber1]

He slapped that sandwich out of his hand so hard that the actor complained about chest pains later in the movie set.Dennis Weaver is the Mann.

[zardozman7]

Didn't the Valiant during parts of the movie not shown here produce a V8 sound? So what is in it? a V8 or a Slant-Six? a 318 or a 258. Any Clues in the movie? isn't there a part where a mechanic looks under the hood recommending to change a hose?

[jrsojo64]

esta pelicula la vi en 1973 y tenia 9 años, uffff! no sabia que era de spielberg, recuerdo que me impacto muchisimo, alguien sabe si se podrá conseguir en dvd en mexico?

[maherball]

fergal hunter is a cunt

[krookedKiller13]

lol this movie is badass

[TheJediCharles]

I expect to see Indiana Jones hanging on the front of that truck bending the grill.

[antonisbob]

at 1:57 the semi has a mudflap but in antother video when the red car ges around him that same side is show exept theres no mudflap did they have 2 trucks or did it fall off?

[bigstretch100]

Hard to say whether it was the same truck right off hand, but there were 2 different trucks used.

[peterbiltexd]

plus a backup peterbilt incase the main one finally wentout during shooting

[peterbiltexd]

that scene was a entirely different truck used after filming to lengthen the movie for overseas release

[Vista0009]

They has 2 trucks, one had a caterpillar engine and the other a 220hp cummins.

[Moodster020]

What he really should have done at the R/R was get out of the car & run to the truck, open the driver door & twat the fook outta the guy. Truck cant go nowhere, no acceleration.

[mauroman128]

For those who have played MEtroid Zero Mission, you can notice the roar the truck maked just before it stops is the same the one from Kraid

[ahamburger111]

Actually, it's the sound from Jaws.

[countdown2xstacy]

i had a 71 dodge dart. it had some balls too. rotted out like a bitch though.

[HendersonAutoBody]

If he drove a 77 Vette. He would have lost him at the first of the Movie.

[AishaMason]

nope, because the idea of the movie was a truck that was somehow way faster than trucks are ment to be, he said that too,

[SaucersOverHollywood]

I'd like to "duel" with my '04 Optima!!!

[simonteam]

the only thing you forgot to edit in was the line --"i want you to cut it out"--but thanks for posting----

[locmcdog]

cool movies this kind with trucks i like them

[farmboy120]

does anyone know what model that truck is?

[truckerbomb]

A 1955 Peterbilt model 351, with a custom bumper made out of railroad track.

[farmboy120]

thanks

[cumminsfan]

I thought it was a 289. I think the 351s had 2 driving axels, and this one does not.

[truckerbomb]

I don't seem to be able to post links, so Google "10-4 Magazine" and "stlouisdumptrucks". First is an article about the duel trucks that claims three 351's were used. Second is site of the current owner of the surviving truck, claims two 281's and a 351 were used.

I got my info from first article, but now that I've seen the second page I believe it's correct since he goes into great detail on the specs of the surviving 281, I doubt he'd get the model wrong.

[Airox180]

this one has 2 driving axles.

[AishaMason]

I thought it was a 281?

[peterbiltexd]

it is a 1955 peterbilt 281 with origanaly a 250 cummins and a 15 speed gearbox  later on it got repowerd with a 280hp cat

[tall32guy]

WOW you've done you're research! Damn! LOL

[0920197234]

LOL! dennis weaver screamed like a bitch in this part. the close ups of his facial expressions are funny as hell!

[London1245711]

ur muddled he screamed like a bitch when his radiator hose packed up "come on lets go arrrrrrrrhhhhhh"

[Airox180]

I love this movie but fully agree with you on that part ROFL!

[chiefjameel]

lol if that dude had a car like in the dukes of hazzard that truck wouldnt b able to touch him!

[MagicAyrtonforever]

Blimming roadhog!

[ahamburger111]

No one ever sees the driver, and no, that car is no where NEAR the Dukes of Hazzard car. The Dukes had a Dodge Charger, this is a Plymouth.

[AIRPLANEMAN1965]

Both made by Chrysler

[Mengele11]

2nd you see parts of driver at the end !!

[locolowco11]

chrysler makes dodgr and plynouth.... so in a way there simmilar.. just sayin

[ahamburger111]

Different models, whatever.

[bstep13]

His car looks like the one from Dukes of Hazzard.

[cumminsfan]

thats a 1970s plymouth valiant. it could get its ass kicked by a golf cart.

[mallamoozoo]

diid he ever find out who was the truck driver and why he picked on him?

[teamwounder]

yes, it was mel gibson. he wanted dennis to pay him $18 for watching his film about jesus.

[jpgbrookes]

@teamwounder

yeah or the 70 grand stolen from him in payback lol

[tall32guy]

Nope. That was never explained. Left to one's own conclusions.

[Kenworth92]

orignal version cool

[MyLuckyCars]

He need a race cars.
