aVLOGinauto - DUEL TRUCK behind the scenes and ride-along

come with me as I show you a little bit of how I shot the Duel Truck with Brad Wike. I fell in love with North Carolina in my short time there. Its people are some of the warmest and best people in the country. I suggest you visit and maybe you'll be lucky enough to meet Brad and see his collection.

As always enjoy, share and SUBSCRIBE!

One of the scariest moments of the movie Duel, was the scene where Dennis Weaver is in the phone booth at the snakearama place, and you see the truck enter from out of frame and head right towards him. He is in a vulnerable spot in that phone booth with the door closed, and just escapes in the nick of time. Great job Spielberg.

Makes you really appreciate the incredible driving skills of the stunt driver(s) who handled her so well in the movie.

Thank you for posting this! My dad would have loved it. He was a huge truck lover and I remember watching Duel with him when it came out, I was 6 at the time. Dad's been gone 4 years now and I miss him very much.

The guy who drove it in the movie seemed to know how to drive it real well

[johnhull]

Absolutely great subject matter and the guy who owns it is cool AF....people like him influenced my life in such as positive way why i did ok...sorely missing in America today

This is not the original 'Duel' truck. Spielberg only had one truck when he filmed the movie, and of course it went over a cliff. However, the TV movie was so popular Universal Studios decided to release it as a theater film, particularly in Europe. In order to do that they had to increase the film length from 75 minutes to 90 minutes, so they built two more trucks and Spielberg spent two days filming additional footage. So if this truck is really a truck from the movie, it is one of those two.

The coolest part is the fact that it still has the exhaust leak before the muffler. It was like that in the 70s too

[cindyscott]

If I saw that thing on the road, I'd probably scream... even under tame conditions, it still has that exhaust note, the creepy horn....and that rust color. Scarier than 'Jaws.' And all props to stunt driver Carey Lofton for keeping that beast under control at speed!!
Thanks, this made my day.

The Score for the movie really sold the tension and thriller of it! It is spooky, but in an awesome entertaining way. I feel like some of those sounds in the score are things that people would just automatically hear in their head being in a situation like this terrorized by a psychotic truck, driver in the middle of the California desert.

Carey Loftin drove that truck in the movie. He was well respected and badass stuntman. . The truck that went over the cliff is still there. Somewhere in Valencia, Santa claita area.

What a golden chance to be able to even touch it, not mentioning to actually driving it!

I learned on a 9 speed and a 13 speed. This had the twin shifter levers, one for the main transmission and one for the auxillary transmission. I always marveled at how they shifted. I never learned on one of these.

Excellent video..loved the ride along..that guy is living the life wit his beautiful land and trucks...

[caveira]

Nossa, fiquei emocionado vendo este vídeo, olhei o filme na minha adolescência e só olhei ele novamente com 40 anos de idade. VER ESSE VÍDEO FOI SENSACIONAL!!!!
Grande abraço do Brasil 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲

[derekstocker]

"Skip the ride-along"? Hell no man, that's the best part of this, that is apart from the wonderful sound of that rig!
Keep up the great work guys, love this!

[rgerber]

the truck actually sounds like in the movies. I never knew if they added some stock sounds but it seems they made real recordings.

[justinsanders]

I wonder how many people that met you guys almost crapped themselves seeing that wicked truck coming toward them. Awesome.

[ronnorman]

That movie made a lot of people have chills run up there spine when a semi would get behind them for a long time

[argylegirl]

One of my favorite movies! That truck scared the tar out of me- brilliant movie, excellent stunt driving and Dennis Weaver was sensational. Loved thar Pete🔥

I live near Brad, talked to him a few times. He has a truck show every fall, usually in September. BTW, you are correct...we like the way we live out here! :) However, you came at the best time of year, as now it is 90 degrees and 100% humidity....
