That's a Honda FL250 odyssey with a modified cage. Also has Goki electric start.

That is a bit too cheesy for me. Looks like it was filmed around my area; a lot of movies are.

Even though I've never seen Duel, it's not at all possible. Duel was released in 1971- you do the math. Much newer rig, Honda Odyssey, First thing the actor says is a reference to Bruce Willis. Not to mention the colour and quality, and filmography.
EDIT-Clip is from some cheezy TV movie called "Rumplestiltskin", perhaps VERY loosely based on the children's classic story. Made in the mid-'90's.

This is obviously a spoof on Duel, which is a great movie by the way. I'm a huge fan of Duel. It was Stephen Spielberg's first feature film(I even have an April 1970 issue of Playboy where he first got the idea to make the movie!...just for the story, of course) He took a ragged 351 Peterbilt, an awesome stunt driver, an underpowered Plymouth Valiant and Dennis Weaver and made an awesome chase sequence that spanned the whole movie...in just 13 days!
But this movie looks just cheesy and awful enough to watch for grins!

Nah, it was one of those vague Nylint metal trucks, sort of a Freightnationalbilt. Somewhere around 1:18 scale. I took the stickers off, removed the sleeper and hit it with hammered paint then dusted everything with black to give it the derelict Duel look.
You can see my enthusiasm for Duel spilled over a generation. LOL

Oh and fl250's didn't have reverse so the ending is a little strange..... Lol
Nice and super video of the scale truck in this truck all the parts looking very reliable and good one specially color of the truck occurred the attraction of the truck..Why you removed the sticker and paint?Whats a reason behind them?

I'll bet he has no problem driving it over the edge, HAHAHAHA!!!
I've always liked Duel as well. Speaking of movie firsts, have you seen the movie "A boy and his dog"? It's Don Johnson's first movie (1975), based on a Harlan Ellison book. Not something I'd show the kids though...
