From what I understand, the studio wanted the truck to explode, but Steven Spielberg absolutely refused. Personal, I like to think it was empty. That would've helped the truck get up to speed a lot faster.

kzread.info/dash/bejne/f32cvMZmk9mpZJM.html they used toy truck and a mock up cliff, and that was absolutely realistic on screen.

My Father was a truck driver for over 40 years. I remember watching this movie on "the ABC movie of the week " It was Awesome then and still is today! Some of the camera shots were so cool back in the early 70s. Spielberg was a master even at a young age. I love you Pop and miss you!😘

My dad was an editor on this and he told me to listen when the truck first goes over the cliff as he mixed in an animal roar, bestowing a beastly quality to the semi. Don't think he got any screen credit for it, but that's life in the film industry.

Fun facts: 1. This was Steven Spielberg's first movie he directed. 2. The story was written by Stephen King.

Story was by Richard Matheson... He wrote I Am Legend (Omega Man) Incredible Shrinking Man Several Twilight Zones Hell House This (story and screenplay) The Night Stalker (original Kolchack movie) Somewhere in Time Along with Born of Man and Woman Button Button What Dreams May Come Shadow on the Sun He was great. This is much like the last part of Shrinking Man when the protagonist finally kills the dragon after running from it for most of the sequence....then is elated and contemplative. That's why Matheson included the Tarantula scene at the reptile and spider museum.

This is incorrect. The "Duel" finale scene used an actual car and truck for this stunt. The stunt driver notoriously didn't get the door of the rig shut as he jumped out, which is why it's seen open. But Spielberg only had ONE take. On KZread, there's a miniature FX guy who has recently posted a video (obviously not from 1971) that states they reshot the scene for fun with miniatures as a tribute. (It's in the video description.) I'm not sure how, but people are confusing the real movie with this 2023 homage.

Carey Loftin, who drove the truck but never appeared onscreen, was said to be the best stunt driver of all times. He also drove in and directed many well known chase scenes, such as the ones in Bullitt and It's A Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World.

I've the movie on dvd, and I still find it amazing!

I feel this a very underrated movie and some people forget that this was Spielberg’s first movie he directed. I think a lot of people think of Jaws first. Dennis Weavers, elation at realizing he won, never fully seeing the truck driver always gave it a sense of mystery. You didn’t need much dialogue as the action spoke for itself. I was terrified right along with the character if it comes on TV or I catch wind of it I like to watch it.

No one had heard of road rage back then. Now, this is almost normal!😁

That movie scared me as a little kid so much that I had a complex with trucks. Thank goodness for shows like The Ride Along Gang to ease my anxiety.

What i love about this movie is that it was all filmed near my hometown of Antelope Valley! 😍😍😍☺☺☺

LOVE. THE. MOVIE. ❤

The Cliff scene was Great!!!

Love this movie. It is HILARIOUS!!! Been watching it with family for years and laughing our heads off as we rewind and keep playing the funniest scenes over and over. David Mann (Dennis Weaver) is disrespected the entire movie. Great movie.

I was 6 years old when I saw this. 😮

Rusty Nail's dad. I didn't realize it at the time because I didn't see this earlier, but in Joyride 2 when the Rusty Nail's truck goes over the cliff at the end, was in reference to this scene.

So okay he's blowing the horn as he's going over the cliff with the driver's door open

Pas besoin d'effets techniques extraordinaires pour faire un excellent film fantastique, il suffit que la situation soit .... fantastique.

I've got the movie. I watched it my first time in 1973. It was great.

This is a great movie I saw it in the 70ds when I was a kid

Cool flick

You'd think there would be a fist fight at the end . Looks like truck driver bailed out

I remember when I was a kid watching this movie. The truck appeared menacing and possessed! Precursor to Maximum Overdrive. In this movie it was the driver being possessed… road rage! Dennis Weaver’s character had the last laugh! My question is why didn’t the truck blow up?

Not models, real. They wrecked a rig and 4-6 cars making this movie. Only one camera captured the whole crash sequence; the others Spielberg had set up to get it from diffnt angles malfunctioned when the time came.

Also did anyone else see the truckers door door open at the cliff scene as well? Did he jump out as well?

It surprises me trucks can actually move this fast. Especially when they have a load behind them.

Bye bye bye to that crazy truck driver he did it to himself

He shifted it to Neutral the moment he had passed the summit. He believe he did that so he can pick up speed, coasting down the road.

If McCloud would have gone to his Chevy dealer and bought a 1971 Chevy Z28 Camaro with a 350 4 bbl, he wouldn't be having this problem....

So when the truck goes over the edge of the cliff the drivers door is open. Was this a mistake when filming?
