#4, It is just a great movie. So simplistic. So cheaply made. But the suspense and psychological drama are done so freaking well... Speilberg's first full-length movie.

...and you gotta admit, that is one badass lookin' truck.

#6, Your choice. But you have to remember, it WAS cheaply made...in the '70s. It's a great movie, but don't expect "Terminator 2".

I'm in the process right now of trying to correct their information about this truck on www.imcdb.org . They list the truck as a 1960 Peterbilt 281, however the main truck was a 1955 model....the 1960 (which still survives today and is undoubtedly the one in this picture) was a backup truck.

There was also a 1964 Peterbilt 351 used for the added scenes (the railroad crossing and the school bus) and in the 1978 Incredible Hulk episode that used Duel footage, and it supposedly is still sitting in a warehouse at Universal Studios with cobwebs all over it and every tire flat.

#11, The added scenes, for people that don't know, were filmed AFTER this movie was originally aired on TV... when it was decided this movie would be released theatrically over in Europe, they decided to film some extra scenes to pad out the time... this is quite obvious in the school bus scene when the driver says "Shit." something you wouldn't expect in a made-for-network-TV movie :P

This movie was a smash-hit in Europe, a very profitable movie, considering it was made on a shoestring TV film budget :D

The budget of the film was actually pretty decent for the time...something like $375,000, IIRC. Universal actually originally planned to release it theatrically, but decided it was too short and made it a CBS movie of the week instead.

EDIT: When it was decided to release it theatrically worldwide, the added scenes were done to correct what was scene as the film's only "problem". This was done in 1973. The added scenes were great and added a lot to film, I think, but I'm sick of everyone saying the school bus scene was a sexual metaphor....I don't think that's what Spielberg had in mind.

#13, School bus scene a sexual metaphor?! WTF?!

Sometimes a school bus is just a school bus. [/Freud]

#14, The entire movie is something of a metaphor for machismo....Mann is the ultimate non-man. Weak, inoffensive, nonaggressive. On the other hand the truck is the ultimate expression of masculinity and everything that brings him down. In other words, the whole movie is a buildup to the moment where he finally decides to "be a man" and fight back. This much I agree with.

However, some people are bizarrely insistent that the Valiant being unable to push the school bus is a symbol for sexual non-performance, and it takes a "real man", IE, the truck, to be able to perform, IE, push the bus. Personally, I think this theory is perpetuated by people with way too much time on their hands who are too caught up in the bullshit study of symbolism to actually appreciate a good story.

I even saw one guy on IMDB saying that the school bus scene is a HOMOSEXUAL metaphor. Because we all know what a rampant ass-plower Steven Spielberg is, apparently. :P

Taken out of context, that is one incredible quote. :p

I completely forgot Tiny Toons parodied this movie... https://youtu.be/U5rHaGCTW3o Makes sense, with Spielberg being Tiny Toons' executive producer.
