[ranma]

While watching repeats of the Incredible Hulk on Esquire today an epiosde which i did not get the name of Used both the red car and the truck w/trailer from the movie duel. Yep they were the same vehicals they even used the scean from the movie when the car was ran off the road and sideswiped the white fence. The story on The incerdible halk goes like this , A female trucker steals back her truck and trailer that was high jacked from her( enter the old Peterbilt and tanker) she used david as a distraction to steal it back. David manages to get in the truck with her and she tells him her story. The Red car takes chase and ends up in the fence. Later the highjakers steal the truck back , David sees this and hot wires the red car and goes to get her back. He becomes the Hulk and gets the woman free, She ends up takeing the red car and finds David after he changed back. Another scean For duel comes into play, Yep the radiator hose blowing one. The episode name was never give a trucker and even break, and most likely can be on youtube for anyone to see.

Yeah, I saw that when it first aired; it used a lot of Duel's footage. I remember thinking "God, what a cheap-ass way to make a TV episode! Do they think we're that dumb?"

Plus the silly banjo music they played throughout the chase scenes really demonstrated to me how important the original score had been.

IIRC the Valiant they used was the second one that was used to film the scenes that were added to Duel for its theatrical release; that car didn't have the factory trim on the trunk lid so they used chrome tape. Can't recall which truck was used (#2 or #3).

Reminds me of the SNL "Toonces the Cat" where he's ramming another car off the road and it's the clip from Mad Max where the yellow Interceptor hits the rear of the Holden Pursuit Special.
