Let`s remake the Dukes

[Ghoste]

General- 1992 Dodge Ram  (if it were the first time for the show it would be a Fox Mustang or `92 Camaro but I wanted to keep it Moparish)
Luke- Ryan Gosling (although I can`t see him doing series work)
Bo- Matt Damon
Daisy- Megan Fox
Jesse- Nick Nolte
Cooter- Brad Pitt ( no really, all grubbed down and rednecky)

I`m just drawing a blank right now on Boss and Roscoe

[skip68]

John Goodman for boss hog.   

[Ghoste]

Perfect!

[Cooter]

Let's not and say we did. Didn't we learn anything from the 2005 Remake.

[Ghoste]

Yes, that no matter what you can make money by dredging up the past.  It's just some winter fun Cooter.

[Baldwinvette77]

Hang on now, a 92 dodge ram?, how many of those are even left? remember we need something cheap, and plentiful, so how about a Neon 

[cavemanno1]

Why can't we have a 2006 charger but with only 2 doors?Can't see the Ram jumping

Anyone remember the show, Bandit? It was a cheap remake, and they used a Dodge Stealth R/T. That's what can happen when one tries to remake the past...  

John Schneider was the sheriff, but the best part of the show was the fact is was a Hal Needham production, part of the Action Pack series (around 1994). Ronna Reeves and Ami Dolenz were easy on the eyes, too!

[Ghoste]

Four door Chargers are too new and Neons are too fragile.  A nice four wheel drive pickup fills the bill.

But wait, I thought the Bandit already WAS country 

[Mike DC]

Boss:  
Danny DeVito.

Roscoe:  
Kramer (from Seinfeld)

Crazy Cooter /later-seasons mature Cooter:
Jack Black/Billy Bob Thornton

Bo/Luke/Daisy:  
Unknowns, please

Jesse:  
Donald Sutherland (the evil president in "Hunger Games".)

General Lee:  
A 2006-2010 Dodge Charger.  
Cooter converts it to a 2dr during construction.  (Upon finishing the conversion he looks straight at the camera and says, "There, happy now?")

[BB1]

Let's not.

Danny Devito as Boss, and Donald Sutherland as Jesse..... Good picks!

Jason

[Cooter]

Um.....correct me if I'm wrong here, but by the time the show hit THE air, GL was a ten year old used muscle car.
that would mean NO Chargers can be used. Only 2003 stuff.
A pick up? Really? Even in dream land that one is out there.

As a reminder of how bad remakes can be, I just watched this whole episode. I need my hour and a half back 

[JB400]

I'm with the let's not. But, if you're going to pick a different car for the General, lets think dirt track stock car and still be a Dodge, I say a 79 Magnum fills the bill nicely.  The General as a pickup......

My pick for Daisy would be Odette Yustman

[stripedelete]

And instead of an illegal moonshine stil they can have a meth lab.

[Homerr]

Ummm no...

And Megan Fox?  She was pretty once, but she still can't act herself out of a paper bag.

[cdr]

And instead of an illegal moonshine stil they can have a meth lab.

[Ghoste]

If its a meth lab do they have to live in a trailer?

[stripedelete]

Yes.  The backstory could be they refinanced the farm over and over during the real estate bubble and,,,,well you know the rest.

Don't have exactly what they did with the money figured out yet.  I'm thinking internet gambling, but, maybe someone else will have a better idea.

Oh, and some of the chase scenes could be the repo man after the charger. 

[Ghoste]

We are sacreligious heretics.

[stripedelete]

We are sacreligious heretics.

..... and we haven't even started on what Daisy has been up to....

[JB400]

..... and we haven't even started on what Daisy has been up to....

Nothing, she'd be on the damn cell phone tweeting or Facebooking about everything 24/7

and taking "selfies"

Good point!

[Ghoste]

Yeah, and pregnant. 

[Ghoste]

And bitching to her girlfriends about the "baby daddies" and yelling at some 6 year old whacked out of his gourd on a sugar high.

[Mike DC]

   
I think teen pregnancy has gone down in recent decades, contrary to popular belief.

[hemihead]

Car would be a used Stratus R/T 2dr .

Let them jump as many as they like.  Just keep the 2nd gens safe!

Who says she is a teen?

[Ghoste]

It's not about realism anyway, it's about stereotypes.  (and a laugh)

[Mike DC]

 
Mike Judge (creator of "King of the Hill") once said he got two kinds of responses to that show initially:  Non-Texans complaining about how badly he was stereotyping Texans, and actual Texans grinning about how accurate it was.


I think a bit of that principle applied to the deep rural South and ''Dukes".  At least for the 1978/79 Georgia shows which retained some semblance of realism. 

[hemihead]

Why would they use a Goth chick as Daisy ? Might as well use Miley Cirus as use that .    And maybe the next Dukes movie they can leave out the Dope smoking and politics also .

[Ghoste]

Oh, never even thought about Miley.  She might be perfect.

[stripedelete]

 

[twodko]

No.......unless they use the new 4 door sedans.

[1974dodgecharger]

So this must be a fantasy dukes...like fantasy football.....

[Mike DC]

  

"Dukes" needs Miley Cyrus like it needs a front-wheel-drive General Lee.

[Brock Lee]

Bo and Luke as meth dealers selling Uncle Jesse's finest. Fourth generation GM F bodies are currently about the right value, age, and demographic to fit.

[stripedelete]

 

"Dukes" needs Miley Cyrus like it needs a front-wheel-drive General Lee.

C'mon, you have to reconsider.  You could scrub her with a wire brush and she would still look filthy.
Who can top that?

I remember that series!  I don't recall John Schneider as the sheriff though.  That series made me want a stealth r/t pretty bad! 

[Mike DC]

I don't want Daisy to be anyone that the media has been forcing down my throat.  

Miley has been forced on us and for no other reason than wearing some slutty outfits.  Hiring a local stripper would be much cheaper if that's what they want.  Every time I look at Miley I think of her mullet-headed father singing that "Achy Breaky Heart" song 20 years ago, which made me wanna puke.
