Sorry if this has already been raised. They used parts of this movie in scenes from the inc. hulk TV series.
shareYes the copyright holder (Universal Pictures?), not Steven Spielberg, had the say over over the future use of footage, in whole or part, from Duel. Weird, isn't it? At least The Incredible Hulk was a great show. RIP Bill Bixby- great guy.
shareYep... It always bothers the hell out of me whenever (not that often) I happen to catch that episode.
Like previous poster said, it was Universal who had final say in what could be used as so called Stock Footage, and it did make Spielberg annoyed enough to add a clause in any future contract - ensuring that would never happen again.
This was not a superhero movie and neither did the Hulk or any other Marvel character have any part in this
shareRecycling was just a common practice to save on the budget.
Coincidentally Dennis Weaver did a movie called submerged. Almost all of the underwater scenes were recycled from the movie Airport 77. There was even a scene where the name of the company from Airport 77 could clearly be seen on the plane even though the plane had been seen in the air with a different logo on it.
