Actually, high desert landscapes, such as the one exemplified in "Duel", can also be found in the states of Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico, eastern Utah, western Colorado, eastern Oregon and eastern Washington (my home state) 🙂👍

Thank you so much for taking the efforts and showing the locations to us. ❤

Very nice video. Thank you. I remember the movie from 1971!! You must have put a lot of work into this.👍👍

I remember watching this movie when it premiered in the summer ☀️ of 1971 on ABC .

I was 9 Years old when ABC Tv here in the US Played this on "Movie of the week", Not only was my Brother and me and our Folks, But 6 other of our friends were watching!, Didn't know for Years this was a Spielburgh Film!, Will always be one of my Favorites!!!

I'm in Australia. I originally seen this movie when I was a kid. And I loved it, and still love it. And I'm 50. Thank you for putting this together was great 👍

Classic film,....and Steven Spielberg's debut movie as director, a simple idea , but wonderfully directed and the tension build up is spot on

Brilliant video to one of my favourite Steven Spielberg films 🎥 of all time ,and one of the best videos I have seen on you tube I seen for a long time ,well done my good friend 😊😊😊

Dennis Weaver was Amazing

yes, he was the right actor for this film :-)

Best ever made for TV Movie, Remember watching it's US debut on a weeknight prime time.

Wow fantastic! I just discovered the film last night. What an incredible show. I would like to visit the Duel Tunnel in Soledad Canyon someday myself. Thanks for your video!

This is amazing, Duel has always been one of my favourite films ever since I was a kid , some of the locations haven’t changed a bit , I bet you’re constantly looking behind for trucks when you’re driving around there.

Merci pour cette vidéo rétrospective sur un film que j'ai adoré ❤. 50 années ont passé, mais les lieux sont toujours là et portent l'empreinte de ce film mythique...

Your research, comparing old and new, was spot on! Would love to drive this in real life myself one day. Loved it :)

Great upload Manfred, like you I also saw this film at around 7/8 years old and absolutely love it. Still do at the age of 44 , thanks for showing the locations 👍🏻

That was awesome. Amazing how little that place has changed. Great video thanks

Man what an awesome video. You readily hit a home run in this. You got all of the locations! Great job!

Thank you for putting the effort into this.

I loved it also, how-ever it was on the heels of CHRISTINE & THE CAR both were great

We share a love of this movie. I was 11 when it aired in the USA originally. I of course have copies of it and am planing on visiting these sites in 2024. I am amazed you got there. When I am in Germany I haven’t ventured so far away from the more populated areas. My wildest adventure was the Rhine to visit the Blucher Statue (I do business with a descendent). Thanks for the video.

I was born in 71' when this was made. I remember recording this on a Beta video recorder when I was a kid. Must have watched it a thousand times back then. (early80's) Thank you for your efforts. I did enjoy this. I love "before & after" videos and this movie. The only bad part is realizing how old I'm getting.

"The only bad part is realizing how old I'm getting." ... yes, I feel the same :/

Nice touch of including the picture at 14:00 of a big truck behind as they drove. Like The Truck still haunts the area today. Great images especially of the "hiding spot" as well of the (now inaccessible) areas of the final scenes. Another KZreadr went in 2023. In their video, the location of the road closer was actually closed as they drove by in 2023. Interesting coincidence.

Great movie ... Av got it on dvd & av watched it loads ova the yrs. 😂🤚👍

Masterpiece from steven Spielberg 👌👌👌👌👌👌

Great retrospective with a killer soundtrack. Good work!👏👏

Duel Was Filmed In Early 1971.

He drove that Valiant like he stole it. The school bus 🚌 driver said that guy was crazy. The truck driver got the bus going again. The car had an AM radio. Pretty deluxe ride for the time.

I saw this movie in high school film class in 1991. A classic Spielberg film. Towards the end you can see and feel a lot of Jaws in the vibe. As CB the truck pursues Dennis Weaver, you can almost hear “Dun dun… dun dun…”

Herzlichen Dank für das feedback! Auf der DVD fand ich die Aufbereitung des Filmmaterials sehr gut, bei der Synchronisation geht es mir wie dir. Auf jeden Fall war es Gänsehaut-Feeling, an den Drehorten zu sein, die oftmals noch wie vor 50 Jahren sind. Falls es dich mal in die Gegend um Los Angeles verschlagen sollte, kann ich sehr empfehlen, "auf den Spuren von Duell" ebenfalls die Gegend um die Soledad Canyon Road aufzusuchen :-)

Of course, it was a 1956 Peterbilt 281. The survivor truck can be seen at Brad's :-) facebook.com/bradwiketrucks/

That flat section of road with a sign and some those prickle trees (can't remember the name) I'm sure that roads been used before in movies. Just like the hilly areas in San Francisco for Bullitt etc. I wonder what he told the Mrs after the truck went off the edge.

The tunnel at Soledad Canyon road (04:18) is also in "The California Kid" from 1974.

He was a great Actor i like him he played in gun smoke with Matt Dingen🤷‍♂️
