I dunno, lots of earlier films (many of which are paraded as having proper chases in) have geared up camera effects, improbable physics done with cutting and some atrocious fake bodied cars. You mean like the Muira at the beginning of The Italian Job, which has no engine in it when it rolls down the hillside? ;D

Has anyone seen the original Gone in 60 Seconds? That is a film that I enjoy watching, a lot of the older 70's road movies are very funny, but some only available in Region 1 format. Duel try getting it off www.play.com Andy.

I love the original, something I found odd is that some years ago when it was on Sky, the description basically made out that apart from the big chase, the rest of the film was rubbish. Couldn't be more wrong if you ask me, I love the start of it when they're ringing the cars etc. Someone clearly knew what they were doing there, it's like a documentary on how people sold stolen cars in the 70s.

The chap behind the first one who was the Mustangs driver died making a second, what a shame that we had to endure the remake, some films should be left alone that should have been one of them. Andy.

Have a look what else you can find your bound to find something go to Wikipedia and type in Road Movies. Ordered Road Kill from Play last night just under a fiver. Try finding Dirt Mary Crazy Harry off Amazon but only if you can play Region 1. Andy.

Just finished watching Duel with the missus and LIKED IT!
Ive got the special edition DVD and although many of the sound effects seem to be missing (the roar as the truck goes over the cliff e.t.c) theres a few excellent extras including Spielberg talking about the making of the film and the author talking about the writing of Duel. Good stuff!
When I first saw duel when I was young I thought the Plymouth was a Mk2 Marina.....well they do kinda look similar and the Valiant looked like it could have been vermillion...
