Okay...
I saw a review of the Incredible Hulk "Duel" rip-off on IMDb, and it mentioned that a later (mid-'80s) episode of "The Fall Guy" used the skateboard chase from "Back to the Future" (1985).
"This is the infamous Incredible Hulk episode written to incorporate footage of Steven Spielberg's Duel. Some sources say Steven stumbled across it while flipping channels and was astonished to see the Hulk driving the monster truck of his 1971 hit TV movie. However, the Hulk never drives the rig in this episode. Spiel must have been thinking about another episode from the first series, '747', which saw the Hulkster trying to land the plane from "Airport 1975". Quite a few episode from the first season made similar use of stock footage from Universal movies; including one that featured several clips from "Earthquake". Although Spielberg made sure none of his movies could ever be used as stock footage again from then on, Universal still managed to recycle the skateboard chase from Spielberg production "Back to the Future" in a mid eighties episode of "The Fall Guy" (with Lee Majors jumping over Biff's car instead of Michael J. Fox)."
I looked through every episode of season 5 (which aired after the movie was released). I couldn't find it. I'm not even sure if that person was telling the truth.
(Plus, The Fall Guy was produced by 20th Century Fox, so Universal couldn't've possibly had a say in it.)
However, if someone did see that scene in The Fall Guy, please say so. In the meantime, I doubt this is true.
