Duel (1971) The Railroad Crossing 

Brilliant movie. One of Spielberg's best.

I liked him in Gunsmoke. He went on to have a nice movie career.

@@dennisb-trains23 Mr. Dillon, is that you?

I have Duel on DVD. I prefer it over Jaws to be honest

That’s where he got the idea for JAWS.

Suspenseful just like Jaws.

@@samanthab1923 Spielberg didn’t get the idea for Jaws. It’s a novel written by Peter Benchley that was made into a movie.

@@LoneLee2022 Exactly! Don’t show the monster behind the wheel or in the ocean.

@@DL-rp4lu I’ve come to the sad conclusion that some people need things spelled out for them. I’m well aware that Peter Benchley wrote JAWS. The idea I’m speaking of has to do with DUEL. Build suspense & fear without seeing who is behind the wheel of the giant truck. Hence don’t show the shark right away, just glimpses enough to scare. Get it?

I agree. He did do an incredible job. Great stunt man

Yes, and the Cafe scene. He killed me the way he kept looking over his shoulders at poor scared dennis..lol

I heard this wasn't released in cinemas?

@@davemustaki134 It got a theatrical release a year after it originally premiered on television.

Glad you enjoyed it

its a gen3 Plymouth Valiant not a Dart

brilliant time capsule for cars, locations, trains etc - brilliant !

@@markosmith8037 & Southern Pacific got some advertising. Great reply.

@@jeffersonrundell7540 check again. It clearly show BNSF livery, ya KNOW NOTHING JACKASS!!

@@slimpickens01 🤣

@@slimpickens01, you are bitter and hateful individual. You need JESUS.

Yup! The suspense keeps you on the edge of your seat beginning to end.

Same here..I was a kid when I saw this on tv in early 80’s. Great story and suspense.

@@jam4355 Came out in he 70's........

@@LoneLee2022 oh I know. But I didn’t see it until 80 or 81 on 📺 I’d like to see it again.

Why you always lying

@@BNSF2012 No he's telling the truth.

Elmo The Communist nope def not tehachapi. It’s acton. I built that grade crossing probably 1985

the film mostly took place on soledad canyon and iirc there was video from 2013 of the same crossing so i'd say definitely soledad

Wow...that's so Kool! Thanks for sharing!

Crown Valley Road. the crossing is now an overpass

@@josephcarson8382 i cant even imagine how much its built up since i left there in 1992. Acton and antelope valley , little rock victorville, mojave and rosamond booming, building everywhere. Now i live in the fastest growing area in the country, polk county florida. Its sickening how much beautiful land, pine forest and swamp and forest are being dozed daily for more homes and dollar generals on every corner. I hate developers. Theyre Ruining the world . I want to move to a dead dying town in the desert somewhere in Central nevada or utah. I want to avoid growth

Not even for its day, IMO. This is a fascinating movie peppered with genuine suspense- so few movies are. Hitchcock truly was a master at it. (To me, true suspense has nothing to do with gore-and is much more difficult to film.). Sure, if you go to films to see gore, don’t bother looking for the suspense genre-you cannot even compare them.

Despite only making up 13% of the pop.

David Barnett-Too bad you didn't post SPOILER ALERT!!!!

Yea that’s no shyt, seeing train cars with no graffiti. The time & talent used to do all that garbage could be better applied if they’d take the time & look for some guidance as to where they could put their skills to use.

SmoothSoulLover It was quite meaningful, good pickup

In Arizona, many times the RailRoads are in competition with trucking outfits to transport copper plates ( I forget the actual term, though my dad hauls them) from the FMRX and ASARCO operations to smelters.

Well spotted! The lorry driver morphs from a would be psychotic killer to a friendly trucker in a few seconds.

I think it makes the truck even scarier. It’s like this guy is nice to other people yet hates me?!

@phillyslasher The truck driver knows that Mann is warning others about him. So he acts friendly to discredit Mann and make him look like the crazy one...and it worked.

Dennis Weaver tho he had a good career for me never got the full recognition he deserved. It takes a very good actor indeed to hold a performance throughout a film like that with a lot reaction & body language. Having seen his performance in A Touch of Evil I think he would have made a great Norman Bates in Psycho at least as good as Anthony Perkins

I empathize

Good point. I watched again for that after I read your comment.

You sound like my son. I can’t watch anything, old movie or show where if he sees a train he tells me all about it. Recently I was watching something & he heard the whistle & knew right away it wasn’t a steam train.

Same here. Love those old 40 ft hoppers, the (if I spotted correctly) 40ft boxcars and a bay window caboose. Nice! The train is headed by an SD-35 #6909, followed by sister #6907 (looked it up).

Gotta find a museum

Exactly! Great script!

makes me wonder what the movie would have continued like had he actually pushed Mann into the SP freight

This movie originally aired on ABC’s Tuesday Night Movie. I was like 10 watching this and you’re right very suspenseful. Didn’t realize until later it was Steven Spielberg’s first big claim to fame .

@@jogman262same here.

I wanted to be a lorry driver too, but decided to be a truck driver instead when Lorry's father didn't approve.

I completely agree! It's still a Cult favorite!

That scene is ridiculous. For one, why not simply haul on the handbrake and leap out of the car? Second, what is the point of sticking your head out the window and yelling "Hey!" when a train is thundering past, your engine is revving and the truck driver clearly isn't going to be stopped by yelling at him? In this whole movie there were umpteen occasions when Weaver's character could have turned the tables on the truck driver.

@@hcrun This movie is a psycho thriller and the scene is not ridiculous because it has hidden meaning behind it. The maniac didn't want to kill Weaver but rather play with him like Cat play with a mouse. He wasn't even pushing the gas and if he did the whole scene would be only a few seconds long...

Agreed Better than Today's JUNK

Movie name?

HAHA! EXACTLY!!!😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

It would be over in 2 minutes because he frantically pointed a gun at the trucker and shot him.

A couple of well placed slugs in the truck engine would have done it!!! Excellent movie.

Well a modern car would not stand up to that abuse it would crumble like tessie paper the 1st time the tanker truck touch it and with cellphones and dash cameras no guy doing such stuff could get away with it now like he could have back then who knows how many people he killed to get all those lessons plates on the front of that rig.

Yep

SAME HERE...GREAT MOVIE...

Movie name

o

I think that might be the point. There are many times the big truck could have killed him no problem, but it never even hurts him

Yes we know. Its just a movie

Yeah, we know, he was just fucckn around with wimpy Dennis Weaver, making fun of his red ladies car lol 😅👍

@@Nikowalker007 Dennis Weaver played the part well.

For sure. The psychopathic driver was obviously just tormenting him more in this scene.

Movie name?

Dark and Quiet

0:31

As long as you don't own a red Plymouth Valiant (the car Dennis Weaver is driving) you should be fine

Same here

Because the driver is the devil 👿

I think you get to see his legs and feet too, when he's kicking the tires of the truck at the rest stop.

Haha so true

There was a close remake a couple of years ago. 2 girls in a 5.0 Mustang is pursued by a possessed truck driver. It's called "Wrecker".

I remember watching it with my Mom.

@@williamhaynes4800 never thought about the mustang being Red

so that's why those signs exist

@@josephcarson8382 to some they exist..not so much for others that have a windshield as a blindspot

that would be too easy tho

@@idek5684 movie logic

I was to comment just that, but if it happens the movie wouldn't be needed

By that same logic, in reality that semi truck would have had no trouble whatsoever pushing a car forward, no matter how the car tries to resist it.

I think he was just toying with him kindy telling him I can kill you any time I want

pittsfordredfox Spielberg actually did that on purpose. Somebody mentioned that detail to him, and he admitted that the bumper was a detail he added to the truck.

IKR I saw that!!!!

@pittsfordredfox 0:41 Yor´re right!!! :-) Never seen this before. I think, the trucker just "plays" with him, because for a truck (big tires, heavy weight, strong engine), it is no problem to push a car. Greetings from germany

Ueaq

Scariest part of the movie to me is when his radiator hose blew and as he was driving you could see the pedometer lower in speed.

Perhaps he was afraid the driver was armed or had some kind of weapon givin his psychotic behavior

He'd loose his expensive car

@@demedemertdemert5955 well he did anyway lol

n being popped in the head with the tire thumper? sounds good. got to check the duals every stop for flats as one tire will keep the other tire looking not flat... but sidewalls rub and catch fire... catch fire the grease in the wheel bearings... the whole thing is on fire and the puny fire ext is not going to do a thing for it.

See that's why I always carry a combination chainsaw-flame thrower in my back seat...
