Even more mysterious and thrilling in a changed the aspect ratio from 1:33;1 to a whopping 2:35;1. The movie has also been trimmed for better and more modern pacing.

  1. From the forum: Boon23 wrote “I just finished watching this… and it is just great! It looks like it was shot in widescreen and all the scenes that were taken out are not missed. I liked the beginning and end credits, they really fitted well, I also did not spot any flaws at all. THIS is the DUEL I will watch again.
    This one had so much Hitchcock horror in it.
    Congratulations and thank you for letting me have such a thrilling hour.”

  2. Obviously Duel should of been filmed in 2.35:1 back in 71′, but it was a film made for TV. But at least jorge has the good mind to sort that out, picture quality wasn’t great but very watchable, but i think the cuts made the movie way too short, i want this movie to be as long as possible. I have made a version of this film myself recently it consisted of no cuts, 2.35:1 ratio & a new score, since this movie has no score anyway, now that is a version of the movie i have watched several times since i made it. So all in all good on jorge to release this & i’m not bad-mouthing but i think it took way too long to make with a smaller movie & no new score, i made mine on one of my days off, it took about 2 & a half hours.

  3. you know what? i completely enjoyed this edit. tight pacing, disturbing, SCARY. an absolute nightmare. none of the removed scenes are missed, and frankly… this could have been cut even more. i think this is a perfect source for a much shorter ~30 minute edit.

    cropping to widescreen really opens this movie up and gives you a perfect cinematic experience. i never thought i was missing any of the action by essentially seeing half of the movie screen. great idea. and drastic cropping (to 2.35:1 rather than just 1.85:1 or something) is probably the best choice here.

  4. I had a blast watching this movie with my son, who really enjoyed it too.
    This must be the best chase movie ever and really hits home for anybody that got cut off by a tractor trailer.
    That’s some real life horror/suspence right there.

    Thanks for the thrill ride!

    9/10

  5. An underrated classic gets the remixed by Jorge treatment and is a thrilling ride worth taking.
    I always enjoyed the original but this edit really ratchets up the tension and the new aspect ratio provides a more claustrophobic experience which adds to the excitement.
    I agree w/ joebshmoe that even more could have probably been cut but what is here works just fine.
    The only major omission I noticed was the “cafe rest stop” scene which I enjoyed in the original but its removal doesnt harm the edit and works well to keep the film moving at a faster pace. overall a great job by a great editor.

    8/10

    Entertainment 8/10 I loved it but it doesnt replace my original, rather gives a newer, faster more modern cinema experience.
    Editing 10/10 as always, flawless
    Video quality 7/10 looked good but this is an older film and the source isnt very crisp. No fault of Jorge but this film could benefit from a new transfer
    Audio quality 8/10 sounded great but could benefit from a remaster.

  6. I have a couple of Jorge’s edits and they all replace my store-bought DVDs as the preferred version to watch. I grew up in the late 80s watching “Duel” on late night Tv and so am a fan of this movie. This is a great alternate version o fthe movie. Technically a 10 and an 8 for the edit. I like both the original and the edit of this movie.

  7. This was a great edit of a great film. It was only afterwards that I remembered scenes that were cut, and only one of those I missed (the diner, where he hassles the wrong driver). The new aspect ratio worked well overall and was only noticeably ’squashed’ in places. Excellent job, thanks.
