Heads Up: "Duel" The film on today

[Nolar Dog]

ITV4 this afternoon at 15:30

I know it's a bit of a cult film for a few PH'ers so enjoy.

That is all.

Cheers for the heads-up lass, will be setting the Sky box to record it..

[Nolar Dog]

You're welcome!

It's ace isn't it? I last saw it 3 times around christmas time so I'm overdue another watch
One of my favourite films of all times but I prefer the "school bus" version.

Last time I saw it I was in my early teens - so only about 20 years ago!

What's the 'school-bus' version?

Someone with or accurate knowledge will be along to correct me if I'm wrong but I think the school bus scene (and the railroad crossing scene) were in the feature length version and never made it to the TV version.

Wikipedia said:

Mann leaves Chucks’ Cafe and stops to help a stranded school bus. The truck suddenly approaches. Mann panics and flees, but then is puzzled to see the truck helping the bus get moving. At a railroad crossing, the truck quietly approaches Mann’s car from behind and starts pushing the Valiant towards a passing freight train. The train passes by just in time and Mann crosses the tracks and pulls off the road.

/\/\ That's about the size of it.

Yep. Still an ace film.


Red Bull Air race next.

Currently watching "Ice Cold in Alex" on Yesterday, one of my favourite films ever, watched it dozens of times & still love it.
