I never assumed that the truck killed the bus driver and the kids; quit the opposite, I always felt that the trucker was giving the bus a push start just to show Mr. Man that he didn’t hate the whole world … just him!

That's how I've always took it as well. David wasn't able to help the bus with his own car (which is a representation of him) but then the truck comes and does it to emotionally attack David and show him that he can do what David himself couldn't. It was never about harming the kids or bus driver, it's all about toying with David and pushing him closer to the brink. I just rewatched this movie again and I'm binging KZread videos lol. I love this movie so much it's so good. It's also what I love about Lovecraft, they don't come out and say the specific reasoning or show the bad guy himself. They leave that all up to your own brain to bounce around ideas and that's what makes this stuff so good.

Well, actually, if you think about it this way, he’s making men think that he’s going crazy because he assumed that the truck driver will kill anyone in his path but while he’s trying to warn everyone about this truck driver he’s playing the game of “I have no idea what he’s talking about. I saw a bus full of kids. They were probably itching to get home so I gave him a little push to help him get started.” Because you see the promised serial killers is they have developed a skill where they show that they’re not a threat and when you least expect it, that’s when they strike

Well David Mann was an elitist snob who couldn’t even stand up for his wife. The trucker could see right through what he was. I do think he had respect for the kids and what the bus driver does for a living so he was essentially helping a distant colleague. He just hated what David Mann was and wanted to taunt him.

You'd think with HD you could see the driver's face through the windshield now. But, he still remains a mystery.

I love this old movie! I remember watching it as a kid. My older siblings rented it. Hard to believe it’s over 50 years old.

This was an extra scene to make it into a cinema release, along with the level crossing scene (I'm British) & when he phones home at the first garage he stops at. Was originally a TV movie but got such big viewing ratings that Spielberg opted to do these so that the extended length would qualify it for cinemas, hence why the cinema version tends to say "made in 1972".

I still live near where that was filmed. Drive through that tunnel on Soladad Cyn Rd all the time. And we go to the restaurant in Duel on Sierra Hwy it's called Le Chene. AND I lived near the Terminator gas station when T2 was filmed, lol... When I was kid I was so excited to see a car carrier loaded with General Lee's heading up Placerita Cyn to be launched. A-Team vans, army jeeps but never saw a KIT car.. So much cool stuff filmed there in the good old days. Devil's Rejects was filmed on Soladad by the tunnel in Duel in the Tootie FN Fruity scene. My buddy has the US/Mexico border sign from Blue Streak with Martin Lawrence. They used the CA Aqueduct in Littlerock CA on 87th street as the border crossing. The opening scene in Tango & Cash where Sly blows up the truck with a pistol was filmed a mile from my house. And many many more...

Spilberg was always a master of making big monsters.

Those kids were so cheeky to David. They should show him respect. They should have respect for their elders.

Still one of the best films even today 2023 now that truck still puts the wind up you today brilliant must be one of the best locations to make a film to keep you on the edge of your seat

This film is deeper than people realize. David Mann is a guy who runs away from fear. Tries to avoid it at all costs. Since he believes he cannot win in defending himself from it. The truck is like a bully that keeps pushing him around. Letting him know who's the man. Here the kids make fun of Mann since they know he is not man enough to push the bus. He is as weak as his 6-cylinder Plymouth. As for the truck from Mann's eyes he's a bully but from the bus's eyes he's a hero. This scene says the truck loves supporting the innocent while preying on the weak. Plenty of people like that in politics and law enforcement, etc. Duel trucker for president!

Chucks cafe came in handy

the school bus driver was played by Lou Frizzell, who also played Dusty Rhodes on "Bonanza", and he also played the druggist in the 1971 movie "Summer of 42", he died in 1979 at the age of 59 from lung cancer.

That's interesting. I wondered if he was any relation to Lefty Frizzell or his younger brother David Frizzell, two country music legends. But I couldn't find any connection. It's an unusual name though, so there's probably some family connection somewhere. And also, although I watched Bonanza some in my youth, I never heard of any Dusty Rhodes, except for the famous professional wrestler. Maybe that's where the wrestler Dusty Rhodes, who according to Wikipedia was really named Virgil Riley Runnels Jr, got his name.

Yes. The movie is based on a true story. The screenplay writer Richard Matheson had a similar yet, less “horrifying and murderous” incident in 1963 when he passed a truck and got tailgated before the truck left him alone after a while which then, inspired him to write “Duel”

Well that trucker was not interested in the bus driver or kid's , he just wanted to terrorize the red car.
