Re:"Duel"

This was origianlly a short story published shortly before in Playboy. When the TV film became so successful, Spielberg shot extra footage (the school bus sequence, the rattlesnake lady) to lengthen it to minimum feature film length, and it had a brief theatrical run and became a cult hit in Europe. Because they had destroyed the truck they had to come up with an identical one which they found impossible. So they disguised a SIMILAR truck but you can clearly see the differences if you are aware of this. Every time in the past 30 years I have seen one of these trucks on the road (especially behind me) I shudder and think of this gem of a film.
