Duel (1971) Monster Analysis The Debut film of non other than Steven Spielberg, adapted from a short story by Richard Matheson who got the idea for the film when he was driving home and a large truck was tailgating him. It was originally intended to be a TV movie, and it was, even aired on TV, but ended up being a theatrical release after universal requested that Spielberg shoot additional scenes to make it a 90 minute feature. I first seen this movie when I was around 10, caught it on TV late one night after I snuck downstairs when my parents were in bed. I was glued the entire way through. Dennis Weaver gives a stellar performance that evokes so much paranoia and confusion. The monster of the show is the truck. It was always its own character, yes we do see there is someone driving it but I prefer to think the menacing threat is the truck itself, not the psycho driving it. Plus it just looks so damn cool! Cannot recommend this title enough, get a copy or watch it on whatever streaming service you use, it's a gripping watch. Also need to give a shout out to CJ Burnett, he's a guy that creates music for a genre I discovered a few years back called 'New Retro Wave'. He kindly gave me permission to use his track 'Joy Ride' in this episode of Monster Analysis, show him some love and go check him out cjburnett.bandcamp.com/ Stay Awesome guys Lee Movie Junkie

This film was very much like a Twilight Zone episode-the unusual camera angles, a character in isolation, an unseen pursuer. Spielberg himself has a cameo standing outside the phone booth at the snakerama. QUESTIONS-1. WHY was Mann driving to a business meeting all across the desert at the last minute? Why wouldnt he have taken a plane a week earlier to San Francisco?2-Aren't the Manns too old to be parents of little kids? (their grandkids? My theory). 3. The Jungle? Are we to assume Mann served in the Phillippines in World War 2? (he's too old to have been in Vietnam). Wouldn't he be alot more street smart, tougher if he was a war veteran?

Fun Fact: The man playing the 'psycho truck driver' was one of the industry's best stuntmen of the time - Carey Loftin. Amongst the films he worked on or supervised the stunt action were: Magnum Force, French Connection, Mission Impossible (TV Series), Bullitt, Point Blank, Bonnie and Clyde, Raiders of the Lost Ark, The Great Escape to name a few!! In all he worked on 380 films as either a Stuntman or stunt coordinator and a further 112 films as a cameo (usually a truck driver). You do see him once in Duel. He was actually one of the drinkers at the bar. He was the one that looks over at Dennis Weaver's character menacingly. If you type Carey Loftin into Google images it comes up with a picture of him in the film!!

That was no simple looking semi rig. Spielberg intentionally went out of his way to find an old sinister looking truck. I believe it is a 1950s model. It looks scary just sitting still on the road, regardless of camera angle. He could use the same camera shots on a new Tesla semi truck and it would NEVER look as menacing as that old diesel brute did.

I watched this movie as a kid in the mid 2000s (My family has the DVD of this movie). So I wasn’t in the era this movie was made. Yet this movie is a masterpiece. It’s so simple yet intense and realistic. Genuinely terrifying at parts. I’ve been on drives and motorcycle rides on smaller roads away from populated areas and have had some drivers try to run me off the road or get me to crash. And those situations remind me of this movie. Fantastic film.

Steven Spielberg said Jaws was a sequel to Duel because both films are about these mysterious killers preying on everyday people. As a young man working at Universal he got to see some Alfred Hitchcock films being made and you can easily see Spielberg took notes on how to build suspense from the master himself.

What is the movie name

Steven Spielberg's debut film today is the prime example for every director and producer on how to make an independent Hollywood-style suspense thriller with minimalist elements with a small budget and film crew. All you need is a good and unique idea, usually inspired by events and stories in real life, such as in Duel's case. I also like the new music tracks added to this remastered version. It adds a special flavor. Kevin MacLeod in particular is a great composer for licensed music!

Fantastic movie, I love how the truck has license plate trophy's all over the bumper, the thing I like the most about this movie is that in every scene you find yourself scanning the background for the truck and have the sense that no matter where he is, the truck seems to know, great writing

Even though he killed the truck driver, he was still stuck out there with no car, no way to call his family in the dark. On top of that I'm reasonably sure he lost his client and probably his job, and when he does get home, his wife probably won't believe him and when he has to tell the police what happened, they might charge him for murder because he can't prove that the truck driver was trying to kill him.

This is viewer manipulation at its most unfettered, just as Columbo was. No wonder this is from the same time as the original Columbo, and Spielberg even directed the second regular Columbo episode, first to be aired after the pilots. Just as in Columbo the theoretically "watertight" crime is thwarted by the culprit´s own stupidity, and the viewer is cheated into accepting the whole scam because he KNOWS that the criminal is guilty since he SAW it doing it, "Duel" exploits the viewer by submersing him in a fake "inevitability" situation, just as if the car driver just HAD to keep on chugging down the road IN EVER THE SAME DIRECTION instead of phoning home, the police, and whomever was waiting for him for doing business, calling it quits, and going back home. We are forced to believe this is some sort of Via Crucis that the victim just MUST go along no matter what!

I just noticed that they seem to keep covering up the 'Plymouth' logo on the bonnet with silver tape. Also what looks like a camera? on the rear bumper at the far right @ 10:37? What an awesome movie. And even better in HD 😀

옛날에 흑백티비 시절 봤던 영화...감독이 스필버그인걸 보고 깜놀했었고 역시 스필버그 구나!했던 기억이 있네요.

Фильм крутой, смотрел как то давно, так люблю фильмы про автомобили призраки, Кристина еще фильм понравился Ну в те времена не было компьютерной графики что бы скрыть водителя грузовика, но он явно по идеи автора, задуман как грузовик призрак без водителя

This is one of the best Steven Spielberg movies ever made besides Jaws he's a great director ..Dennis weaver played that part goo also thanks to Cary Lofton the truck driver which he's actually a stunt driver ..such a great film .poor David never made it to work that day

The owner of the truck is not dead is a dark mystery

It was 1990 when i watched this movie first time and my age was 20 and now it is 2024 and i m still in my 20 bcz i m watching it again😢😢😢

All the licence plates of the front of the truck were they his victims😮

It’s implied they are indeed from cars the trucks ‘claimed’. But from some awesome knowledgable sharing by the community, the plates may be from the truck driving across states, therefore requiring multiple plates. The former is much better!

Loved it really enjoyed watching it that truck and the sound of the raw engine man sounds mean and the look of it.. this film was quite 😂😂 funny I had my laughs but it was brilliant to watch thanks for the upload of this film first time watching it big massive thanks

All Times one of the best...👍👍👍 Thanks for the Upload 🙋

20:54 Yes….that truck would be able to push that car like it was a matchbox. IT’s Hollywood!

@@garyharrall4002 Hey. If you want to take it up a notch. The driver meant great harm. Like trying to run Dennis over in the phone booth. And the countless times as the movie progressed. That semi truck is probably 30,000 lbs, empty. That car 3-4,000? Torque is the determinant.

This is why there is no replacement for displacement! That poor little I-6 didn’t have a chance in power against that big diesel. Now if he had a 426 or a 440, he would’ve left his ass long ways back

Even if he had a 318 it would have left the truck in the dust, those little slant 6's were reliable, but not much hp.

I always thought, doesn’t the trucker have a JOB to do? 😂😂

the movie still gets at me. i watched it when i was 11 years old and it scared me. great movie but real creepy..

This is why we should buy a Japanese Sedan or USSR car, high speed and no need to stop at the gas station frequently.. the truck will have to spend a lot more DO to follow us.😅😅

Now this is called the real horor movie ....excellent 🤘🤘 worth to watch it guys....

Didn’t David overtake on the yellow line? The trucker could have been a former cop who was upset about a driver breaking rules of the road 😂

First of all what a classic movie. After being a driver now for many years I have encountered car drivers that don't like being over taken even when their like 8mph under the speed limit... When you over take (doing the speed limit) they wake up and fight for their space back...to the point of cutting you up.... Usually the driver is in a modern sporty type of car. It's funny seeing that behaviour and how petty it is, I can imagine them muttering "i want my road space back" 😂 some can't get their space back and start driving dangerously just to get in front of me😂 some end up 5 cars behind because they get stuck trying to over take again😂... I just don't get the man baby attitude 🤭 so Duel is very realistic in the driving attitudes that's still around today...

30:25 synth music is amazing, doesn't fit with the vibe of the movie IMHO ,but i like it it needs to be its own hit single!

28:00 puts me in mind of the behaviour of Oppressor 2 pilots in GTA. As soon as you get out of your vulnerable vehicle, they leave.

Scenes from a time in America that are long gone. That country side has long since gone away with the growth and boom of the country since the time this move was made.

There are fans of this film in Russia. On social networks there is an alternative picture of KrAZ 258 and Moskvich 2140.

I watched it years ago, and remember it as a very disturbing movie. It's ambiguous whether the villain truck driver survived the crash. However, several shots in the movie make it clear the villain is a real person and not some supernatural force.

If i wanna watch a great older movie with BIG TRUCKS I'm always gonna go and try to find, MAXIMUM OVERDRIVE!!! But lets see where this film 📽️🎥 takes me !?!?!?

This Movie kind of reminds me of Jeepers Creepers.

32:00 is the railroad crossing from when the truck nudges Mann’s car after the school bus scene but filmed from the opposite direction. It’s an observation I enjoy watching this movie, spotting all the reused roads.

Amazing work loved it

Vi esse filmaço na tv. Parece que é o primeiro filme do Spielberg, se não me engano.

I love the duel movie

Clearly the tank was full of NOS

If anyone else can notice that the driver side door opened right before the truck went over what if the driver jumped out before and is still out there hahah😂I love this film

@@user-zz2hf2pz2p no CGI back then, or at least no *good* CGI, with very few exceptions. The fact that the door opened as close to edge as it did, shows just how close to death the actual driver was.
