Thanks for that information about Duel that was trucking interesting :wink: to hear about what has happened since the film was made, and how they made it. The video that the owner shot of it was done well, and must concern those who saw the film previously, and then find this rig near them on the freeway.

The guy who now owns the Duel truck, as it has been sold by the one who shot the video, apparently also owns the Rubber Duck truck from convoy here’s a link to a video of that vehicle, Convoy also increased the popularity of the CB radio in the states.



As the some of the films in the list take us back to the eighties then how about this one…………Knightrider.

Knight Rider
Season 1 Episode 1 of 18
Pilot Futuristic crime-fighting series set after the events of the original show, with former soldier Mike Traceur replacing his father Michael Knight at the wheel of an updated battle car. Guest starring David Hasselhoff, with Justin Bruening and the voice of Val Kilmer

Talking about continuity mistakes check out the visible camera crane in the high panning shot, you can see the reflection of it in the hearse.

Also the truck from Convoy if you look closely does not now have it’s bull bar, and the fifth wheel is set too far back to load the rig correctly, the reason it was set so far back is for the film, and to make the vehicle appear longer.
