Bad Title

It is a hunt or attack, but in the end Mann manages to turn it into a duel with his own car and wins. That's why it's called "Duel". I watched an interview with the writer.


"The solution is obvious--Sergeant Wu is the mastermind."

'Hunt' or 'Attack' is not nearly as cool as Duel

You're too literal, man. 'Cat and Mouse' would have worked too, even though neither critter appeared in the movie.

Duel, sounds like dual, as in dual rear tires on the rig?





Game over, man, game over!

Yeah, they should have called it something like "Attack of the Crazy Truck Driver".

I don't always like one-word titles for films, but I can't think of a better name for this one. This turns out to be a story of a battle to the death. Also the word 'duel' can be used figuratively to describe any battle of wits. Again this is appropriate.
