Hey Everybody! I am new to the forums and am just getting my feet wet. I saw "The Dukes of Hazzard: The Beginning" with a friend. To tell the truth, parts of it completely confused the rattlesnake stew out of me. I mean, what was with the two diff'rent dogs? At the beginning of the movie Flash was a beagle, then Flash was a basset hound, and at the end he was a beagle again! Weird! Also, I don't think that the director did that good of a job researching the show. There were quite a few discrepancies. For one, Bo and Luke found the General at a junkyard, not at the bottom of a ravine. Second, Bo, Luke, and Daisy all lived with Uncle Jessie way before the ages of 16 and 17. Third, how could have Bo's and Luke's parents sent them to live with Uncle Jessie if they were supposed to have been dead? That's the reason Bo, Luke, and Daisy were living with Uncle Jessie in the first place! Yet another problem arises in the fact that Bo, Luke, Cooter, and Enos all grew up together. They didn't meet the way that "The Beginning" portrayed. Personally, I think that "The Beginning" was based on the 2005 movie. Even so, the movie was down right heeelarious!! I couldn't stop laughing! Definitely better than the 2005 movie as far as character portrayal goes (with the exception of Lulu). Enos was more the boy-next-door, Boss was more connivin', and Roscoe was definitely the knuckleheaded sheriff that he should have been in the first movie. Now, with all that said, I wish that somebody from the original show would get together with some of these people making these "Duke" movies and make a true tribute to the ideals of the show. "The Beginning" was a little bit closer to that than "The Movie", but it still leaves something to be desired.
