For those of us who are real fans of the TV show The Dukes of Hazzard, this movie has it all wrong!
In the movie Bo, Luke, Daisy are teenagers. Therefore, we all know based on the original show, there were no cellphones!
The movie clearly states the Duke boys are at Uncle Jesse's for the summer, yet, they go to the high school where class is still in session.
In this movie the Duke boys find the General Lee at the bottom of Hogg's Ravine covered by water. This completely goes against knowing in the TV show Bo and Luke found the Black 69 Charger that became the General Lee at a used car lot WELL after they were teenagers. I know for the sake of the Dukes of Hazzard they HAD to have the General in the movie, so I can't fault them tooooooooo much.
The boars nest looks like a somewhat modern bar, which is fine by be, but they show Boss Hogg's office in the movie, WITHOUT having a pool table or a barbers chair in it....and the office looked more like a small closet!
They used several new Ford Crown Vic's in the show as police cruisers, not to mention Huey has a new BMW. For the producer to be making a movie that was technically supposed to be taking place in the 1970's NO attempt was made to make it look somewhat realistic.
Now we all know the Duke boys were woman crazy, so I don't fault the fact the producer used that frequently in the movie. What I do fault the producer for, is the foul language, nudity, and many many many sexual references used. Not to mention having Lulu Hogg seducing Luke..c'mon. NOT Dukes-like
That all said...the story is right in line with the original Dukes, everything else about this movie sucked. If this were just any ol' movie NOT based on the Dukes, I could appreciate it a little more. The Dukes of Hazzard is a wonderful TV show, movies like this, just give the Dukes a bad name!
