Sorry for the repost if its been mentioned before

At least they probably won't crash the orange '69.


...maybe.

He was here in Nashville, Tn. a few weeks ago promoting it and they gave free tickets away to the first people that showed up! He said on a morning show that this is his idea of a "Dukes" movie. It is a clean, good humored, action packed film for the whole family! Can't wait to see it myself!
On another note: That man does not age!!!!!

I saw in Ga WITH John S. and it was good.  Lots of DOH references, 69 Charger, family entertainment.  NOT a critics type movie. I enjoyed it. John

[JR]

I went to the preview when he came to our theater and did autographs. I met him and got him to autograph the glovebox door of my 70. He was awesome, and even asked me about my car. He's has to be the most down to earth celebrety there is out there. He's awesome.

The movie, however, isn't that great. It's has 10 minutes of entertainment fitted into an hour and a half. I didn't really like it, but there were some good Charger scenes and races in it. I'd wait and see if John is coming to a local theater to promote it. That way you get to meet him.

We have done a few things with John in support of the movie. He really is passionate about it. I can see why some people do not like it, but I have to admire him for putting his money where his mouth is and making something for his fans.

I should also mention, John is a true Charger fan as well. I have had a few conversations with him about them. He loved them well before Dukes. At the Lee1 unveiling in Georgia, his favorite car he kept talking about was the Green '69 sunroof car (a member of this site owns it) that showed up.

[bull]

Sounds cool. I hadn't heard a thing about it until now.

Doesn't Moparjohn own a car that resembles that one??

I believe that's who he's talking about. Who else drives a green sunroof 69 across the country for Dukes shows?

[moparjohn]

Yep, It's my car he's talking about.  Friday night  (Nov 10th) I waited up till 1:30 am to meet/see John.  He came in at 1:45 or so, (he was staying at the same place) Supposedly he walked around my car and liked it. He had never seen a sunroof Charger.  Next day I saw him in the early am BUT he was going out to some of the filming locations and we did not get to talk much.  At the Boar's Nest (yes the real one) he said and I have on tape " that's so strange, tell you what, that is so beautiful" Well I got to get his autograph and talk briefly, but we never really got to talk Chargers.  Well maybe next time. John

[JimShine]

Yeah, we were laughing when you guys would drive by standing through the sunroof filming us. I may have him complimenting your car on video. We all agreed it would be cool to see regular Chargers at some of these events. They are a nice change from all the GL's.

[moparjohn]

Thank's Jim, I was worried John and Travis might be mad at out lil stunt but Tom got it on tape and no one got hurt. A little Hazzard if you will. I do wish I had some time to talk to him, to think a big star like him likes my car is really cool. After all the DOH got me into Chargers and that now comes full circle. And the vectors are the only GL stuff my car will see. Next car on the other hand....

[JimShine]

Nope, didn't mind at all. Infact John told us some story how he stood in the trunk of his Charger to get some over the roof shots.

[moparjohn]

Cool, the over the roof shots were one of my favorites

[Charger_Fan]

I forgot all about this movie, until I happened to stumble across this the other day at the video store...



I already had the two videos I went in there for, so I didn't rent it.  It seems to be getting good feedback so far on Amazon CLICK HERE, so I'll probably buy a copy soon. Has anyone seen it yet?
The girl is his real life wife, which I think is kind of a hottie.

[moparstuart]

  looked like some terrible acting in that one 

[my73charger]

I just rented it last week.  It wasn't the greatest movie but it had a nice Charger that didn't get wrecked so its all good.

[69bronzeT5]

wasnt there a jump scene in it

[Dave22443]

Yup.  (Look at the cover)  So there definately was a Charger wrecked for that movie.  Of course, they'll claim it was just a rusted out hulk used for just that shot and really wasn't worth much, but with all the new metal coming out, I don't buy that anymore.

That movie was worth about as much as their stunt car after the jump. 

[bull]

Whew! I could barely sit through the trailer.

Looks like he hired every relative he could locate to make up the cast. And pretty much all the technical credits go to John Schnider... written by, edited by, directed by, financed by... etc. I wonder if he did the catering too? My brother said he saw it and the basic plot is that the main character is forced to get a legitimate job and so he starts a used car lot but fills his inventory by racing everybody for pinks in his orange '69 Dodge Charger with Vector wheels. Where have I seen a car like that before?

[Dave22443]

Yeah, except when he races them, the car has most of its interior removed, a "fake fire" at the bottom of the windsheild and its all dressed out in primer.  When the race is over, they put the interior back in and the primer just washes off to reveal a pristine orange Charger again.

And of course, he's beating the best of the best.  High end exotic cars that if driven by any other character other then what he puts in them, would easily hand the Charger its bumper.  But of course, he never looses.   

[Back N Black]

Much like his singing career. 

[Chris G.]

Any movie that is written, directed, edited and financed by the same guy, is going to end up pretty bad...99% of the time. 

[bull]

I just thought of something else that's remarkable about that movie trailer. Did you happen to notice what great pains they took with camera angles and cuts to portray the 1980-something yellow import crashing into a ditch without actually doing it? Why were they afraid to wreck that thing but more than willing to lay a '69 Charger to waste?

[my73charger]

Ok, so truthfully I was just being nice before.  That movie was hard to sit through...basically it sucked.
