r45 4 Posted November 27, 2004 Share Posted November 27, 2004 Watched this flick for about the 10th time last night - great movie. Spielbergs first I think, but not particularly Spielberg like (no fluffy things). Menacing truck following car - thats about the story, but really well made. Love it!

miteyak 0 Posted November 27, 2004 Share Posted November 27, 2004 Yes, a true classic, along with 'the hitchhiker' with Rutger Hauer. Link to post Share on other sites

grungy-gonads 54 Posted November 27, 2004 Share Posted November 27, 2004 Good one that, I like it. And I'm glad there's no annoying kids in it too. Link to post Share on other sites
scouser 4 Posted November 28, 2004 Share Posted November 28, 2004 Haven't seen that for yonks. Wouldn't mind giving it another viewing. Wasn't it actually a "made-for-tv" film? Link to post Share on other sites
LiquidX 0 Posted November 28, 2004 Share Posted November 28, 2004 Yep it was originally and in the US - but it got a cinema release in the UK. Link to post Share on other sites
damian 0 Posted November 28, 2004 Share Posted November 28, 2004 There is an old duelling ground in the park near my house! It is even marked on the map as 'Duelling Ground'. I am tempted to cruise the area looking for a lead ball flint lock musket duel by discrediting peoples wives and mothers. How about I walk around in leggings and leather boots with a period puffy man-skirt appropriate to the era and say "hey! English dog, you bastard. You are the son of a bitch but I like you wife's arse". Hopefully that will make the English dog slap my face with his glove and we would meet again at dawn. I have not seen the movie but one of the few people I know with good taste in movies speaks highly of it. Link to post Share on other sites
Ocean11 0 Posted November 28, 2004 Share Posted November 28, 2004 I seem to remember it was really boring. Dearest Britain, if you want that sort of flick, try The Duelists by Ridley Scott It has interesting things in it like actors, dialogue, period costumes, character development and other things. Oh, and Harvey Keitel being a proper pain in the arse. Because he is a duelist of the kind you seek to become! Link to post Share on other sites
orinoco 0 Posted November 28, 2004 Share Posted November 28, 2004 Great movie, Duel. Such a simple concept, so well made - it could easily have been crap and probably would be if someone tried to make it now. Link to post Share on other sites

AET 0 Posted November 30, 2004 Share Posted November 30, 2004 It was made for an ABC Movie Of The Week spot, then 10-15 minutes or so was added to bring it up to 90 mins running time so that it could be released in the theaters in Europe. Link to post Share on other sites
Karnidge 2 Posted December 1, 2004 Share Posted December 1, 2004 OK so gave it another watch over the weekend, still a great movie... boring sure ain't a word to describe it. Link to post Share on other sites
