When we last left <SLFBG@cc.usu.edu (Blue Knight)>, he said:
: The most, shall I say, bizzare movie that I've seen with a chase seen in
: it was an old `70's movie called `Duel'. It was about a guy that was being
: harrased by a crazy truck driver that was trying to run him off the road.
: The entire movie took place on the highways. I think that Steven Spielberg
: directed it. Has any one seen it?
: -Steve Fonnesbeck
It's not often that I hear anything about this movie. I saw _Duel_ in my
senior year in high school, as part of a humanities class. For you who haven't
seen it, _Duel_ stars Dennis Weaver as a travelling salesman who, for no reason
whatsoever, starts being chases/hunted by a tractor trailer. The whole movie,
with the exception of maybe the first 10-15 minutes, is one long chase scene.
It was originally made for TV, and was directed by Steven, Spielberg; in fact,
it was his first professional piece of work. I really enjoyed _Duel_, and have
recently seen it in my local Blockbuster Video. I reccommend it to anyone who
doesn't care for complicated plot lines (you cant get any easier than this), or
for anyone in the mood for something different (which is what cult-movies are
all about).
And Steve, thanks for bringing up a good choice for the cult-film "Top 20".
