I have seen Steven Spielberg's first film, Duel, a number of times and it still holds up really well, maybe more-so in our era of road rage. While set-jetting some other locales, I decided to check out some of the main locations seen in the film. There are quite a few Duel fan location websites out there, but would like to thank Then & Now Movie Locations for their page on this film.
First up is the pre-credit house....

That’s complicated because it’s not all one route. For example, this (https://goo.gl/maps/DmkBw) is what you’d have to drive to cover the first three minutes alone.
DeleteSo the Pepper Tree Market was never where Sally's Snakerama was?
ReplyDeleteThanks for pics. Live that old classic. Movie.
ReplyDeletenice job, love the movie and will be paying a visit to Thousnad Trails campground soon.

ReplyDeleteHello, my name is Manfred, I'm from Germany, and Duell is still one of my favorite movies.
ReplyDeleteWhen my wife and I planned a vacation in California for 2018, I began researching locations and tracks for the film.
The result of this trip, I would like to share with you. Enjoy :-)
