Duel 1971(Part 10)

[JohnDeere30201]

that pete 281 tanker is fuckin bad ass!

[the12345joker]

Certainly still stands up to today's best movies. I loved it when I first saw it back in the '70's and still love it now! Thanks for the upload.

[loh1110]

So what's the moral of the story?

[OhJaniceWhyOhWhy]

@loh1110 Never call your wife when you are on the road. I think SHE sent the truck to KILL HIM!!!! Like all those other blood sucking whores...

[loh1110]

@OhJaniceWhyOhWhy ?

[rw1067jnr]

最後のシーンで見せる、乗用車ドライバーの勝ち誇った心情、そし­てその後の、一人の命を奪った倫理的な虚無感...。

スピルバーグ監督の作品は、主役の命を奪いは、しませんが...­。

[junkman661]

when the truck driver blew the horn i feel like the truck said ''NO''!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[SuperMario6419]

Thumbs up if you notice the truck' right cab door opens just before the truck falls!

[StormsLandscaping]

I wish a Frightliner was crashed instead of a pretty Peterbilt 281....

[dntlss]

you'd think that was ray charles driving that car, hes managed to hit every fucking thing on that highway.

[josh808m]

1:41 Ghost ridin'!!!

[evilunixuser1]

Would have loved the movie even more if it had the school bus scene and the old couple in their car.

[Mechknight73]

It was a nice touch by Spielberg to NOT have the truck explode. Explosions can add to the action in a scene, but a vehicle crash has more credibility when it doesn't explode. Even a vehicle catching fire in a crash (unless it's something like a Ford Pinto) is usually only about 10% of cases in the real world

[29iceskater]

i hate you. you left out two of three keys scenes

[metube393]

cool how, after contacting the mopar car, the driver catches a cog and downshifts to keep it stepping.

[DuneWolfz]

That...was...freaking...amazin­g...

[RTD8481]

I love the moment when you see the truck driver slam the brakes and pull the emergency, he knows he's in trouble! What an intense scene! Great Movie!!!

[JUSTINDASH5]

I wouldve bashed through those gates wether or not it says no tresspasing i wouldve said that guy has been trying to kill me, like fuck...

[antblue363]

I liked "THE CAR" better ! but this was okay

[WTFFTW3567]

this movie is such a good one

[sonnylatchstring]

That's a bloody long walk home for him

[CROBlackDEvil]

SO WHO DA FUCK WAS IN THE TRUCK ??? :D

[makotoawara]

no.1 film in my life

from japan

[650bigal]

This movie came out about the same time as The Exorcist. The Devil wasn't as scary as that damn truck.

[shopdude10]

A good movie never gets old, no matter how long ago it was made. Unlike the crap they do today...

[RubiTrack]

Oh, and did anyone notice the truck driver door was open when it went off the cliff?

[michaelash100]

@RubiTrack I think it says somewhere on IMDB that the piece of equipment the crew were going to use to keep the truck going straight with no driver had failed, so the stuntman had to be in the truck until the very last second, hence the door being open!

[ShaurntheSheep]

is that it the end ?

[TheRichardo1]

What a great film, the suspense from start to finish is great!

[giantsean]

After this, Optimus Prime stopped messing around with car traffic

[isratorres01]

@pbshortfilms but it´s that true where did he go ? yes he make that jump at the last moment , but where ????

[MrViTopol]

@isratorres01 didn't u see blodd dripping on the truck's steering weel at the end ?

[isratorres01]

@MrViTopol it seems like oil to me



[MrViTopol]

@isratorres01 then it's even more misterious. there was no driver in the truck...

the film is much better than the book.

[tall32guy]

@isratorres01 It IS oil....

[stlouisrocker100]

Did you know that the sound the truck makes when it goes over the cliff would later be reused in Jaws.

[ficken3]

Why didn't he call 911 with his cell phone? It's one thing I never understood about this movie.... I am kidding of course.

[IKEAPSUhr]

I think the truck driver wanted to kill all people with a red Plymouth Valiant.

[WindOnMyWings]

Thanks for sharing!! Great film indeed, great director

[mattyboy1012]

Hey guys, look at the bit when the truck drives off the edge in slow motion, you can clearly see the drivers door open so it kinda spoils it cuz now we know a stunt man jumped out of the car! Also you see how David Mann crashes the car head on?! Well in the next shot of the truck pushing it, the car is sideways!

[corvettels9]

@mattyboy1012 actually douche if you read about the movie, the device that was supposed to keep the truck driving without a driver in it malfunctioned and the driver bailed at the last second to save his life. and they only had one truck so they only had one take for that scene.

[Kelly14UK]

Sigourney and Dennis are NOT related. Can I get some thumbs up?

[tall32guy]

@Kelly14UK They're both Irish heritage though, because Weaver is an Irish name. But you're right, the relations end there. :)

[WeAreTheSHWE]

I just love it when he tries to air-brake the truck before falling. It gives you an impression that the psycho is a master driver and really knows that truck well :D

[BlazerS312]

@GreenArrowM

There is actually. On my DVD I just had to go on to the options menu and change it. Good luck!

[GreenArrowM]

Its the re-masterd version and the sounding sucks. Wish there was a DVD version of the film with its original sound. I mean even at the end of the movie when the Truck goes over its missing that monster like roar.

[OnePieceUniverse4]

this movie couldve been better by making it a little longer and adding a story to it. who was the truck driver?! nothing was answered!

[WeAreTheSHWE]

@OnePieceUniverse4 That's the point. You aren't supposed to see the monster. Ask Alfred Hitchcock :)

[McLarenMercedes]

@OnePieceUniverse4

On the contrary. That was what made it better and more memorable. Who the truck driver was remains a mystery and something the audience THEMSELVES could explain

Hitchcock always said, never show the monster and never try to explain why some people are evil,it only makes the whole thing lose its power

Who the hell needs an answer who the truck driver really was? He was a psycho that liked to kill drivers in cars, as witnessed by the several plates on his fender.End of story

[McLarenMercedes]

@OnePieceUniverse4

Would you prefer this? "Uh, let's make the police come there and pull the dead body of the truck driver and then they will recognize him as some ex convict who cut the throat of 200 virgins because he worships Satan in his spare time."

Yeah, because that makes perfect sense,...to idiots.

Leave it to the audience to think for themselves. Let it remain a mystery. Explaining everything usually makes it stupid, as proven by that ultra-stupid "National Treasure" movie.

[Thenicereviewguy]

i thought his radiator hose was fucked?

[PaulMax1957]

should have had the audio on mono instead of stereo cause in Mono sound you could hear the growl of the truck as it turned over to it;s side just before resting on the bottom

[redtitan75]

as i truck driver myself, i noticed a phony detail at 2:04, he blow the horn by pulling the trailer hand brake lever on the steering??

[Grifiki]

"$5 can of oil would have done the same thing, and he would have still had his car. His sump was full of oil???" But it's a movie!!!

[orange70383]

@Grifiki $5 can of oil? it was 49cents a quart back then.

[ezcondition]

3:10 good acting

[rockrabbitt]

最終場面のこの安堵感は何だ。

天網恢恢疎にして漏らさず.............か。

[lelekoJumboJet]

Honestly, if I was this guy I would go down there and punch the man (technically, his body) till the hand ache. Imagine if the truck driver jumped off the truck. Then there would be the car and the truck driver together up there. It would be a nice fight.

[Think1079]

why did he carry on going over the edge . he could have braked ? ?

[ccg1171]

@IndianaJones772 Ha Ha your right

[ccg1171]

When the driver hit the car why diidnt he try to stop instead of keep going

[Genners111]

I read somewhere that they salvaged the engine out of that truck... Hard to imagine it being able to survive that fall and still be usable! Wish they built them like that today...

[IzzyStorm1996]

this left out a lot of other scenes

[70sGrOOVeTuBE]

one of the best! the suspense is utterly intense-being it has a very very small cast(the crazy truck "driver" and Mr Weaver ,and a few extras) always makes for an ultimate suspense ala Hitchcock style!

[mingo328]

They've skipped the diner part

[TheThomasf99]

be funny if the truck driver quickly got out..

[Genners111]

@2:04 -- driver's like OH SHIT!!!!

[dennist61]

Wonder if Mr flammable died. mean trucker that one....

[TraustiGeir]

@dennist61 Wasn't that blood dripping from the steering wheel? Or oil perhaps...

[SLBON]

The truck said "FLAMMABLE" all over it and we kept being reminded of this thoroughout the movie, so why didn't it blow up or catch on fire after going off of that cliff?

[CentinelThe]

@SLBON even if the tanker was empty it should've blown up because fumes are more dangerous than the fluid itself, in todays movies they'll make blow up even if it was hauling water.

[Genners111]

@SLBON seriously, why did they leave the tanker empty? fuel wasn't that expensive back then!!! shoulda let it catch fire and torch the bastard... slowly...

[countryhoney28]

Why is it that people who are pursued by nuts are driving clunkers? He should have gone to Victory Auto Wreckers- I can see a teenager driving this car, but not a traveling salesman. Especially on the road that looks like the one where the Road Runner and the Coyote are running on all the time. Perhaps he should look for some Acme General Store.

[harpershop]

Now go down there and kick his corpse's ass!!!

[Lucap1000]

At 2:29 you can see the pipe literally broking

[91JDub]

Why were all the sound effects changed?

[olentangy74]

As the sun sets, he sits there thinking, " now how the hell do I get home?'

[TURBODORK2]

@Promosthis i think the trailer was empty ,

[onlyhuman2121]

man im born in the mid 90s but damnnn i wish i could go to the 70s for a little while to be with the hippiess man!

Free Love!

Free Drugs!

[MrHandfromEbay]

I love that scene at 1:23 ,he is such a bad-ass.

[xxdonaldqxxx]

Too bad Dennis Weaver wasn't driving a GTO, Challenger or Roadrunner.Those 70's muscle cars would have had that truck eating dusk.

[rifscape]

The drivers door was open in the end because during the shooting of this scene the device to keep the truck going straight without a driver failed. So instead for the scene the actor had to drive the truck and jump out in the end. But in the movie the trucker was supposed to have died.

[blackhawkdown102]

I imagined the turck's horn at 2:06 sounded like the truck saying,"NOOOOOO!!!!!".

[jazzy6307]

@blackhawkdown102 I watched an interview with Spielberg once and if I remember correctly, when the truck goes over the cliff it sounds like it's screaming. The sound effect is actually a recording of a dinosaur from another movie.

[INTIMIDATOR3FAN]

The driver's door was open on the truck BEFORE it went over the side. Makes ya' think.

[Lucap1000]

1:52 ear-gasm at the jamming brake and another ear-gasm at the engine sound

[dc8078]

weres the part with school bus

[dngesporter]

4:15 is this blood or oil?

I think that the track's driver didn't die.

[Lucap1000]

Even with flammable liquid or not, a tanker it's not ready to explode at any crash like you expect. However, it explodes in Matheson's story.

Talking about the tanker, i think it was empty because by using a bit of common sense, you can tell that truck would not go that damn fast.

[francisjairam]

Idk who was inside that truck.

[TheBump465]

The door at the end was the stunt actor crawling out

[TheGingerbelle]

Superb - this film is like fine wine - just keeps getting better with age. Still love it. Thanks for posting.

[Skumnation]

A very grey ending. Mann defeats the truck, but is probably going to die out in BFE. Some people think this film is silly, but I find it pretty damn good.

[deerdestroyer2009]

Wheres the roar.

[ShadowtheRotarygod]

Two things come to mind in a time like this,

1 How long am I gonna have to walk to get to a phone?

2 How am I gonna explain this to my insurance company?

[domonic0]

wen the trucked crashed the horn should have went off an then died that would have build alot of suspense in the end

[ATX806]

Man the tanker here at our fire department is soo slow. On the highway the fastest it gets is 40. By the time it gets to the damn fire the house is burned down cause the truck is so slow.

I wish we had this truck.

[Russenliebchen]

Showing fear and rivality, face to face with the camera's eye...a great actor

[speedymarvin]

they should've left the wreck as a publicity stunt for others to see

[Lucap1000]

@GarryHarriman, the trucker would have followed him, silly cunt

[Lucap1000]

@VannahVonSally, Spielberg originally released it as a TV film. Later, he put again those scenes for a film

[planetcheck]

Why does he honk the horn when he goes over the cliff?

Where was Marshall Dillon at?

He should have saved Chester from that psycho truck driver.

[spicneo]

it's this truck the reason people hate it when i drive a bus in gta4

[TheCfShow]

hang on...3:45... skelatal bones? :O

[TheCfShow]

Ah. So the guys issue was with the car, not the man. lol

[Pablohernandez379]

@mymyharlow The reason the car expolded is because when a 1971 Plymouth Valiant weighing about 1/2 a ton going about 25 mph crashes into a 1955 Peterbilt 281 that weighs about 15 tons the block is going to crush, the fuel injectors are going to spit gas everywhere and with the crankshaft and pistons still turning causing sparks it is going to catch fire and burn right back into the gas tank causing an explosion. But don't take my example, do the math bitch.

[ThePs311]

@Pablohernandez379 yea that is true

[McLarenMercedes]

@Pablohernandez379

You're kidding right??

First of all I dare you to find ONE car that weighs as little as half a ton. A Valiant is 1 and a half ton at least. Second of all there's no goddamn fuel injection on such an old car, they used carburettors.

The block does not crush in some collision, they are among the most sturdy pieces of a car. And the pistons don't make sparks, it's the spark plugs.

Oh, and in real life cars don't fucking explode like in Hollywood movies.

Fool or troll??

[McLarenMercedes]

@Pablohernandez379

Have you EVER seen a real car crash? Have you ever seen what happens? They don't go up in flames like in those Hollywood movies.

You trying to rationalize why a car would go up in flames in a Hollywood movie (where every goddamn car explodes like it's filled with C4 whenever somebody shoots at it with a tiny gun), is just shear idiocy.

What's next? You think people can take a dozen kicks to the head and still stay up and fight because you've seen it in a movie??

[Pablohernandez379]

@McLarenMercedes Listen here cunt fucker at this point I am really tired and really fucked of(MOSTLY FROM FUCKING YOUR MOM!)so fuck off and get a fucking life you fuckin' spam mail sending ass-licked piece a shit moucher. Learn some physics and realize if you went to that much trouble to look up the history of special effects in movies you would have a girl friend and a job so fucking go suck a camel dick!

[McLarenMercedes]

@Pablohernandez379

Ruh ruh ruh. (that's how you talk)

Uh uh uh.

Baa baa baa.

You'll have a heart attack one day you troglodyte. You have been warned.

What was that? Am I supposed to listen to PHYSICS from some ape who never went to college and drinks beer all day? Are you freakin' serious?

[Pablohernandez379]

@McLarenMercedes Listen here you frog fuckin' commie obviously you take no pride in your country or anything else in this world beside how hip you are back talking people on the internet that you can't appreciate the work special effects does to make movies. Bring me your college ass and me and the rest of the hard working part of the population we'll each take our turn at you.

p.s. Now before you make another samrt ass comment IUP class of 02' bitch and work from 4a.m. to 5p.m. on.

[bonzo874]

@Pablohernandez379 obviously a good grasp of language

[dueltruck700]

noooooooo :( bye bye beastly old peterbilt you will be missed at least by this truck nut :(

[RazorUltraPro11]

im horny

[formulacrash63]

watch the left door of the truck at 2:10 :)

[nd03ltz]

@formulacrash63 haha

[Lucap1000]

@formulacrash63, the stuntman left while the truck was running on the road, and they made a thing to leave the door shut, but it broke, and the door opened

[busahaya03]

what's that noise the dennis makes at 03:21??? lol

[nd03ltz]

@busahaya03 haha

[smokey213964]

@vacuumlover1 no the driver the truck is kerry loftin who was a hollywood stunt driver id say nobody in that business can touch his work other than bill hickman who was the driver of the charger in bullett and the driver of the pontiac in the 7ups hes done many other films where he drove but in those movies the man u see driveing the car is the actual stunt driver. kerry loftin has been in many movies and i know he holds the record for most cars wrecked in a stunt driveing career

[crazyracer12]

@vacuumlover1 Truck Norris?

[6030diesel]

notice when he jams the gears after hitting the car his foot is on the brake pedal and you cant hear an engine sound. that shot musta been taken at a stand still to hit that gear so quickly.

[Lucap1000]

@6030diesel, well, any veichle does that when you jam the gear

[6030diesel]

@Lucap1000 what are you talking about? you never hit the brakes to jam a gear, and you can always hear the engine in the background because it doesnt just drop to idle, you catch the gear before it gets out of its powerband.

[TZilla7]

wheres the t-rex roar, when the truck is going down with the car theres more sounds and when the first horn blows theres a t-rex roar, i mean wtf

[Lucap1000]

@TZilla7, spielberg made it because the truck seemed like a beast. later, in Jaws, he used the same roar when the shark dies as an omage to this film

[NVincent1993]

Something is wrong here...wheres the dinosaur growl! Where is it! It's not on my DVD, and it's not on any of these youtube videos! When the truck goes over the cliff, theres a lot more crashing sounds, and a dinosaur growl is heard twice as the truck goes over the cliff on my old VHS i had years ago! This endings (along with all the new DVD releases) audio sounds muted and different! Stephen Speilberg even mentions the growl in the making of Jaws, as he used it on when the shark sinks!

[SkyAngel1959]

the wreck of this truck,brings to mind the classic train wreck on the movie the Greatest Show on Earth.

[metube393]

not a clock uberkrispy. that is a tachograph.

[shimazu32]

Tubular bells.. OF DOOM

[shimazu32]

@shimazu32

Also i expected an explosion, just because the setup for it was so obvious. We see "flammable" on the truck constantly while driving curvy cliffside roads.

I'm not complaining, mind. It sticks to the whole "average guy vs. goddamn lunatic" theme.

[PinkLederhosen]

I'm assuming he was late for work.

[pumasism]

chingona la peli.............. si la ves de chico como de 6-9 años, los nervios se agudizan y estas en la orilla del asient jajajjaja pero vale la pena verla

[DDFJ1230]

at 4:15

Was that blood or oil?

[cyco781loco1]

i remember watching this late at night as a kid back in 88, never get tired of this movie all tho i did ask myself that quistion......? how did he get the fuck back home lol

[Lucap1000]

@cyco781loco1, dunno how he get

[wreckage3001]

at 2:09 the door is open, trucker happily escaped

[NickBFilms]

@wreckage3001 the door was open because the mechanical device they were using failed so the driver had to stay in the truck and jumped out at the last second. it was all done in one amazing take

[dennisbernard11]

you know it would have exploded if they had the budget for it though

[Lucap1000]

@dennisbernard11, yeah, but Spielberg decided to empty it

[weenyone]

I love the incidental music in this scene. The slowmo of the truck careering over the top was still fresh in 1971. Real class

[weenyone]

I love the incidental music in this scene.

[ljubohendrix]

Masterpeace...

[superade1000]

Blimey that was a silly thing to do, he is a long way from home in middle of nowhere and now he has no car, Plonker lol

[csswaffledude]

@szgerle - Mythbusters? lolz jk.

[mrpolaroid123]

i didn't spot his trademark shooting star in this flick...

[fexfreppl]

a real big film ; so authentic!

[47tooter]

what about him in the diner saying " cut it out " to some guy , would you just cut it out..

[JustJoshin1014]

Nice boots! lol

[micmoable]

One mean movie---the trucker from hell got his rewards for evil

[claudiovtec]

Tanto ora passa qualcuno a prenderlo...

[Lucap1000]

@claudiovtec, ahah, già, arriva la coppia di vecchietti di prima XD

la cosa bella del film è che non potrebbe mai essere rifatto e ambientato adesso, perché nella scena in cui il camionista abbatte la cabina del telefono è già una disgrazia, adesso gli basterebbe usare il cellulare per chiamare la polizia e festa finita

[claudiovtec]

Bellissimo il salto dalla vettura potrebbe fare lo STUNTMAN.

[GameFanAndOthers]

This is like the real life only its made bigger.A angry under-paid trucker gets passed by a dude in a car and gets mad.It could be real if a truck driver would be angry enough but i very so dougt it.

[TheCaulfield1]

Where's the part where he's in the diner?

[jigsaw1984]

It's freaky how that fan was still running. You just can't kill evil.

[deerdestroyer2009]

@jigsaw1984 remember it wasn't actually the truck.

[chanctonbury63]

@jigsaw1984 Not in the movies anyway.

[AnonymoussourceL0L]

does it ever explain why this guy wants him dead? or who he is?

[SuperAmbergold]

@AnonymoussourceL0L

It has apparently been hinted that the lorry driver has tried to kill people on the road before. So he might be a professional killer of some kind.

[Lucap1000]

@AnonymoussourceL0L, nope, it's a mystery

[pradeepthedirector]

awesome movie.....but how come the truck driver fall off.........i don't understanad

[mrspivvy]

I'm a fleet manager for a regional sales team, it really pisses me off when the reps abuse their vehicles like this

[ninjakio930]

When I get Excited and run, I also skip. !

[NowarkFilmStudio]

Props to Spielberg for this one. This was one of those TV movies, although you'd never find it on TV now. My problem is how many filmmakers copied that idea of having the bad guy fall off a cliff. Tremors, to name one off the top of my head.
