In Japan, the film was marketed under the punchy title \u003cstrong data-start=\"306\" data-end=\"316\"\u003eカージャック\u003c\/strong\u003e (“Carjack”), with the added line \u003cstrong data-start=\"350\" data-end=\"359\"\u003e続・激突！\u003c\/strong\u003e (“Duel Continued!”) used to connect it to the success of Spielberg’s earlier breakthrough film \u003cstrong data-start=\"455\" data-end=\"463\"\u003eDuel\u003c\/strong\u003e.
