My Dukes' Movie Exp.

[Brock Samson]

Took my sweetie to the opening Friday night, first i read our local paper's move review which as expected entirely missed the point, and in the first paragraph, said there's a "red car"...

Bwwwwhhhaaaaa... sorry about the spehlling you notsies.. anyhow,..

as soon as we walked in (way early to get the best seats I noticed a huge group of folks dressed   in country clothes, some had real honest to God mullets, (WTF!? )   and two guys were in complete Boss Hogg White suits, and there were a couple of daisies there as well... ahem,.. Schwang..     well anyhow.. one of the boss hogg look alikes was this really tall and really skinny black guy, the only black guy in the theater as near as i could see,.. and I thought that was a trip...  

the Movie was great, the '69 is the star of the show, and the way the General Lee was filmed left no doubt as to that. i noticed the first charger had a black interior and the remade Lee had a tan interior...
My Sweetie Laura Lee (who, BTW is actually related to General Lee) and who thinks my Charger is unsafe, way too loud, has awful brakes   and a buncha other stuff that is just plain wrong, wrong, wrong,.. really liked the movie...
We agree that Willies jokes wern't funny in the least though...
the music was pretty cool, alot of old school rock like AC DC and the Allman Bros. etc. but just about the time when i was noticng this i noticed the movie reached some sort of emotional peak and was faltering.. this was about the time the race, errr rally started...
I guess, I'm talkin sour grapes here though as how could you possibly top a screaming orange Hemi Charger flying 20 feet into the air...
with a couple of college co-eds in the back seat and a case of moonshine as whistle wetters/cop obstacles?...
  We had a great time, dumb as a can of rocks, but it's not some lame assed british murder mystery..

Just saw it few hours ago. I laughed my ass off. Even at a few of willies jokes. Good movie

[41husk]

Why does a divorce cost so much?   Becuase it's worth it! I laughed much harder than my wife did.

[Brock Samson]

 i don't dare laugh at jokes like that... 

lol...

I liked...

"Don't you know it's not cool to wear white after laborday?.. 

[CFMopar]

Ill give 100 dollars to the first person who punches that big mouth out 

[Brock Samson]

Ya know, the jokes were actually not part of the script.  They just told Willie to be Willie and it worked.  When you see Knoxville laughing while "driving" the Cadillac, it looks real because he actually WAS laughing.  Unfortunately it was the best "acting" in the whole movie.

I believe my favorite part of the whole movie was when Roscoe opened the gates to Cooter's place and the headlight doors on the GL opened up. Made me want to go straight home and head for the garage. I was disappointed with the fact that the language was so filthy but at least the General was still the star of the show...

[THE CHARGER PUNK]

funny part was when he Bo says'' i wanna make love to it'' and Luke says ''No, you wanna make love in it'' and then Bo says in return'' No , i wanna make love to him'' i got a good laugh outta that-MATT

You know I have to agree with you on this one...that is one of my fave scenes of the movie!

[Brock Samson]

  it was the sound ofthat HEMI revin' up that was my fav part... 

[CFMopar]

I don't know but a couple of redneck moonshine runners probably wouldn't of had the best vocabulary anyways. I don't and I finished college 

Thanks for the new spellcheck

I'll agree with the above statements, also to my surprise, my wife enjoyed the movie as well.


I got goose bumps when those doors slid open to the shadow of the general :thumbsup:

Moparz, is dat U? 


I'm gonna cheat & paste my thoughts from my other post;

It was much better than I expected, even though I still feel that most of the actors were incorrect for their parts. The worst of which was the guy who did Roscoe's part! To me, he wasn't Roscoe at all.
The ones that fit the best IMO were Enos & Uncle Jesse.

It was still a cool show & was great to see a Charger as the MAIN character on the big screen.

I also saw how Travis' General got that munched right fender.


Oh & I agree about the swearing, some of it was uncalled for. Sometimes it seemed they were swearing for the shock factor...it just seemed out of place in the movie to me.
The outtake when whats-his-bucket was hanging from the fence by one leg & the other putz came up & unzipped his fly...although admittedly funny, it wasn't called for in the movie at all.

One thing I noticed about the movie was how often the inside door lock holes changed position. 
Apparently they had a few '68 doors in the mix.

Now THAT'S'a  CHARGER NUT!!! 


errr,.. FAN... 

[Charger_Fan]

I'm serious!
For about half the interior takes, I was watching the door lock holes go back & forth!


I know, I'm a nut for sure.

Thats why it wasnt in the movie it was in the outakes 

[DarkAngel0816]

it was the sound ofthat HEMI revin' up that was my fav part...  

Yep...it gave me chills.  I was choked up for a moment.  Seriously it gave me chills and damn just the way that whole scene was filmed was very very cool.

[Brock Samson]

that's what i was trying to say, up top,.. with sooo many wonderful CHARGER moments, it flying and beating the holy livin crap outta all the cops and other cars and stuff, it was harder and harder to top...
so some of the scenes were just plain old flat.. 
i thought the Lab scene was pretty funy though,.. 

[SeattleCharger]

The movie was great, funny, ups and downs, some suspense, I liked the actors from that cop movie that were in there, when he pulled them over at the school, that was too funny.  I am going to see the movie again next week with my brother and dad. 

   I didn't notice any bad language, loved the sound track.

     How in the heck did you notice the door locks were in a different place, now that is observant.

No, my tits ain't that big.

I noticed '68 door locks at one point, but didn't think to keep looking for it.

Careful, you're starting to talk like a trekkie.
Pretty soon you'll be communicating in "Enos"  j/k

I thought the whole cameo by the guys from super troopers  was pretty damn funny....if you dont know what Im talking about, go rent Super Troopers and you will see why a few people were laughing their asses off when the dukes got pulled over by campus security.

[Arthu®]

Hate to bring this up again, but I just saw the movie and well damn is all I can say and not in a good way.

Sure it was nice to see the General driving/flying around. But really it missed all the good points of the show. The biggest mistake was to take it to the present times, I mean come on the cell phone?! What was up with that. And Bo & Luke running shine for profit and breaking every law there is? Also Jesse smoking Pot? And Rosco has just got the be the worst.

I mean in the series Bo & Luke were two good ol' boys who were worked against by Boss Hogg and Rosco. They weren't actually doing illegal things, but were accuesed (sp?) off all the time. This meant they had to run again and break some laws. And seriously did you hear Bo or Luke curse in the series? Or did you see Jesse do drugs? No they didn't, they were good people. They respected the law, they were helpfull, etc. I don't see any of that.

Also what is up with Bo and his love for the General? I mean sure he was the main driver in the show, but you can take it over the top.

Let's just say that I didn't like the plot (if there really was one), they should have stuck with the original show more. Which by the way wasn't really all that great either, but it had character and well was kind of consistant.

Did like the funny clips at the end though, too bad it took so long.

It isn't the show and wasn't attempting to be the show. Which is why I liked it. If I had to choose, watch the last few seasons of the show, the reunion movies, or watch the new movie, give me the new one.

[SeattleCharger]

I liked the movie, and it was even way better the second time.  Maybe you should see it again,
