How strange, I was going to start a thread about the Film Duel today but got side tracked.



I'm a big Duel fan.
Check out the smoke!

DUEL...Peterbilt Versus 1970 Valiant
Whats interesting is that the V8 seems no match for the Big Rig in the California Desert hills. Road Rage at its best.

Duel, Spielberg’s first film… known for being a physiological thriller.

Man, the duel and convoy are my pure diesel fav's, but smokey and the bandit gets close to a rednecks heart.

Here's a good 're-edit' as they call it. 12 minutes worth watching, even if you've already seen it.

Ok. After some internet searching I found the name of the movie back from the early 70's. The movie is 'Moonfire'. The Mack trucks used in the movie is the F series cabover and the R series conventional.
