Movie Reviews of Duel (Collector's Edition)
Movie Review: What Tha?; No Truck Roar?????
Summary: 4 Stars
Love this flick. Lots of unintentional funny moments. Liked it so much, that I purchased the dvd-collector's edition. When I got it, I decided to "test drive" it, so I hit some of my favorite spots, like when David was talking to himself, and called the driver a miserable fat head, or when he lost his balance, when he got out of the car, after he crashed into the white fence, across from the diner. So, I speed ahead to the end, when the truck falls over the cliff, and to my surprise, the "truck roar" was edited out from the scene! I'm like, "What tha....!!!???" How could the truck roar (the same roar used in Jaws) be edited out!!! It almost gave you the since that the truck had a life of its' own, as it roared to its' death. Even worse, Spielberg mentions the roar, during his interview, on the dvd "extra" i.e. why he used it and what-not. They even have the roar, as they show it, during his interview...BUT NOT IN THE MOVIE, ittself! I'm almost certain that Spielberg is unaware that the truck roar was edited out from the dvd. I mean...how does that happen, on a dvd "collector's edition"!!?? The roar can still be heard, when watching Duel on TBS or AMC. Anyway, now that I have that out of my system...still a great flick.
Summary of Duel (Collector's Edition)
This is the TV movie that put Steven Spielberg on the map, shortly before he made The Sugarland Express. Working from a script by Richard Matheson, the film stars Dennis Weaver as a mild-mannered traveling salesman who unintentionally angers the driver of a semi truck. Suddenly, the truck is not only riding his tail but trying to run him off the road. No matter what he does (pulling over, stopping at a diner, calling the cops), he can't get rid of it. Spielberg makes the wise decision of never showing the driver, even as he cranks the voltage on the film's suspense elements. As a result, the truck itself takes on an air of satanic menace--even a personality of sorts--as it seems to hunt its human prey. Spielberg made a lot out of a little, suggesting just how skilled a storyteller he would become. --Marshall FineAction & Adventure DVD Video
