Ive been a truck driver for 9 years and still have'nt driven a truck with a air horn that sounds as good as this one.😢

2:10 the truck went all Maximum Overdrive with the speed, horn sound, & chaos.

I recently found out that this scene was shot in one take. The plan was if the stunt coordinator (Carey Loftin) didn’t see Dennis escape the telephone booth before a stake in the ground was out of view of the grill of the 281, then Carey would abort to the left. Surprisingly, it all happened in 1 take with no retakes at all. Dennis managed to escape the booth before Carey even reached the stake. A bit risky but, makes for a great shot. Edit: I just found out that the lady in this scene (Lucille Benson) played “Mama Coltrane” in the Dukes of Hazzard episode “Mrs. Rosco P Coltrane”

I always felt bad for the woman in this scene. She simply falls victim to a serial killer who wants a red car as a trophy.

The truck driver wanted another license plate for his collection.

She was so happy when he said she could put whatever gas she could get in the tank.

When Dvds first came out it was a hobbie of mine to go into a store and find one that I never heard of or seen. Found this and loved it. The stunt driver of that old Truck was a legend.

If you look closely, you can see Spielberg's reflection at 1:12 in the booth window. I like how the tension is ramped up in the film. I did feel sorry for the little coyote on such a short chain.

My dad's always been a truck driver and he's always loved this movie. I remember watching it with him a lot as a kid. He always laughed his ass off at Dennis Weaver freaking out in the movie lol. Man it's been a long time since I've seen this. Wasn't this one of Steven Spielberg's first movies or something?

Correct. In fact, if you look carefully in a couple of the chase scenes; you can see someone not quite framed out in the back seat of the Valiant. That's Spielberg living the experience. You can see the entire sequence in the DVD extras.

No way he would have had time to leave the telephone booth when the truck was that close.

Great childhood film.

I'm glad people still appreciate this movie

I watched this with a good friend growing up. Good times.

You know, seeing how close the truck was to ramming over David when he noticed, I'm surprised that he was able ti make a quick action and escape the phone booth just in time, rather than just standing them, accepting fate and starring at his imminent demise while screaming like aol of the other casualties in some horror movie.

According to Carey Loftin, the truck driver, he and Spielberg had a marker placed so if Weaver didn't exit the booth in time, Loftin would veer to the left. They did the shot in one take.

This movie Is based on a true account - with the red car the man is driving being symbolic of a particular man of a certain bloodline whom certain others of a different and very powerful bloodline, represented by the huge truck - want to harass as well as kill. Recall from the movie THE BEDFORD INCIDENT - a certain man saying that they were on the hunt for something whose code name was BG RED. BIG RED, and as indicated in that movie, BIG RED was and is a certain black man belonging to the bloodline of ZION.
