[Real General Lee]

Doesn't John Scheneider owns him? He [John Schneider] teased us with him on the movie "Tres Leches" (they only showed "01").

 

My favorite TV cars are: General Lee, K.I.T.T., Pontiac Firebird Trans, and the Impala (Supernatural).

 

This list is an absolute disaster: https://www.scrapcarcomparison.co.uk/blog/the-ultimate-list-of-must-see-car-movies/

 

Smokey and the Bandit is number 23 while the crappy Dukes of Hazzard movie is 12? It makes no sense.

My older grandson only plays on-line stuff now and giving me his PlayStation and Xbox systems for the younger grandkids to use on weekends here. Should I look for Dukes games? How much would they cost? 

The games of Dukes of Hazzard aren't very good, except for the Xbox/PS2 one.

 

 

Burnout Paradise featured a car that sort of looked like the General Lee, the game has lots of fun jumps/stunts, but it's not a DoH game if that's what you wanted.

[New Dukes of Hazzard Movie]

If they were to make a new Dukes of Hazzard movie it'd need to feature John Schneider because he still owns a General Lee and he's a Duke!

 

But seems unlikely because the Rebel Flag alone could get the movie canceled as it triggers a lot of people (not that I care about them).

 

From the movie "Tres Leches" (not very good but whatever).

 

[Best Series DVD set?]

The DVDs sold on Amazon/Walmart are as good as it gets. I mean, the newer sets don't have the Rebel Flag 'cause it's considered offensive, but the picture quality remains the same.

 

If you want the best, Amazon has it remastered in HD, however it's cropped to 16:9 so you'd be missing out on details from the top and bottom. Because of that, I never got used to that version despite looking amazingly good.

 

By the way, this is the first time in months I was able to log in to my account. Dunno what was wrong with it.

[Waylon Jennings Theme From The Dukes of Hazzard(Good Ol' Boys)]

Both.

 

Sidenote: Hearing the grandsons of Cash and Jennings blew my mind by how much they sound alike the legends.

 

But as good as they were, I have no hopes they'll ever be as good as Johnny Cash and Waylon Jennings. Plus, Scott Eastwood as good as he looks, he's a mediocre actor, sadly (imo).

 

 

This was funnily one of his better roles since he had little to do. lol

 

Scott Eastwood, Whey Jennings, Gabriel Thomas, etc need to find their own character than live off of the fame and success of their father/grandfathers. It's just not gonna work forever.

 

[What went wrong with the 2007 movie?]

Just to add, I watched "The Last Movie Star" yesterday and it felt like a blend of an action star's life in his final years and some fiction for entertainment purposes. Pretty sad story, but touching.

 

The only thing they could've done to improve TLMS was use Burt Reynolds name than a made up one. It was about Burt Reynolds so even though I'm not a huge fan, I appreciate the existence of this movie/documentary.

 

R.I.P., Mr. Reynolds.

[John Schneider said "Hazzard in Hollywood(2000)put the nail in the cinematic coffin!"]

Can't say I have though I believe.

 

The only good part of that was Toby Keith, imo.

 

 

That being said, I'd have much rather preferred Johnny Cash instead.

[What went wrong with the 2007 movie?]

This is the movie that had a really crappy cover and title, yet surprisingly I enjoyed it a lot more than the 2005 movie (not hard to beat, admittedly). Even still, it wasn't a good Dukes movie.

 

Smokey and the Bandit 1 & 2 are the best Dukes movies even while they're from a different franchise.

 

 

R.I.P., Mr. Burt Reynolds.

 

By the way, John Schneider released a wonderful, true Country song recently than what's usually out there (pop music branded country).

 

 

[What went wrong with the 2005 movie?]

The cast was great, their General Lee was faithful, but somehow it was a disaster.

 

I only liked the city scenes, seeing the General Lee being driven out of the garage, and Jessica Simpson looking hot back then.

 

 

This music video rocks even to this day.

[John Schneider's Christmas in Tune (2021)]

This is a TV Movie and I know I should have kept my expectations low, but it was pretty boring and uninteresting. Even with Mr. Schneider, Reba McEntire, and about Christmas.

That being said, I liked seeing him working on something new and McEntire looked stunning.

[Your favorite Dukes game?]

The best Dukes game isn't even a Dukes of Hazzard property, it's part of EA's Burnout franchise: Burnout Paradise

https://burnout.fandom.com/wiki/Hunter_Cavalry_Bootlegger

It doesn't have the flag which is part of General Lee's identity, but aside that it's pretty awesome.

 

This game is full of jumps over everywhere and I love that!

Don't get me started on Ben Jones. I love Cooter. He's a Good ol' Boy but Ben Jones is a Communist. ( I have his book). 

Yes, I've read about his political beliefs and while I don't agree with it (it goes against what our country stands for), I enjoy his character on the show.

 

John Schneider has a much better sense of reality and he's not a politician.

 

 

Ah, end of off-topic.

I love his General Lee song. I wish Charlie Daniels would have made it on the show. Congratulations on watching the whole series. Do you think you will do it again? 

Yeah, just not Season 7.

 

The HD version removed the episode preview and instead goes straight to the opening, plus they cropped it to 16:9, but if that doesn't bother you then it's an excellent release. I've seen a few episodes and really enjoyed it.

 

[The Number *One* guest who should've sang in the show, but never did.]

And that's Mr. Johnny Cash.

I never looked up if he was in any as I didn't want to spoil myself, but it was disappointing that I had reached the end [of the series] and he never showed up.

But hey, he made a song about the General Lee.

 

It sure feels like we were cheated out.

[Best Reunion Movie Balladeer Don Williams(1997) or Mac Davis(2000)]

Well, I seen them yesterday and I gotta say it was disappointing and sad, at the same time.

 

Uncle Jesse sort of felt lost and alone and it just didn't feel rigjt, Roscoe should've retired years ago, and Coy, Vance and Hughie Hogg weren't even included for these reunion flicks.

 

But the one I missed the most? Boss.

 

However, I did enjoy Toby Keith's performance and he's probably glad to be part of it.

[The Series Final Episode...]

I finally watched it today and it left me rather unsatisfied, it felt more like "just another episode" than the series final episode. It didn't seem like they cared much for it, like they just wanted to be done with it?

 

That being said, it's still a good season and I enjoyed seeing Hughie Hogg again on this final/canceled season.

[The 45min Western episode is simply one of the best of the series!]

This season seven episode condensed what could have been a 1h45m movie to simply 45mins with the Dukes and it was awesome!

 

Anyone who's never seen the show, but loves or enjoys Westerns can watch this and feel right at home.

 

Plus, it was pretty dang cool to see John Schneider dressed as a cowboy and doing a Western.

There's a Knight Rider game for the PS2? I know of a PC version put out in the 2000's that turned out to be a flop due to compatibility issues. I had one for the original Nintendo in the 80's which was fun.

There was although only released in the PAL region (Europe/Australia).

 

 

If you use a PS2 Memory Card with FMCB then you can play any game via USB/HDD, regardless of region.

 

Also, there was a second Knight Rider game, but that felt more like an "add-on."

I've never played any of them but I bet they are fun. The only systems we have are Wii and that small classic original Nintendo that came out 3 or 4 years ago. I doubt Wii has Dukes.

Unfortunately, there's no Dukes games for it on Wii or GameCube (backwards compatible with Wii).

 

If you'd want to try a Dukes game without looking too outdated, I'd recommend a PS2 or Xbox. Older Dukes games like on PS1 might turn off folks because of how graphically old it looks.

 

I plan on playing the PS2 game even though it's probably nothing great. For example, Knight Rider didn't have any solid games either, but the one on PS2 is still a lot of fun.

[Your favorite Dukes game?]

There have been various on PlayStation, PlayStation 2, Xbox, handhelds and such, but if you've played any which would you recommend?

 

We'll probably never see a new Dukes game or the series released on Blu-ray because folks nowadays get all offended over the flag that's on top of the General Lee. And if he doesn't have it, he ain't General Lee!

[The Season 5 "Problem"]

For those that disliked Coy and Vance, they could look at Season 5 as the shortest one with the boys.

 

But for any newcomers, I'd suggest watching one episode than skipping right to episode 19.

[The Season 5 "Problem"]

I finished Season 5, "Part 1" and it made me kinda sad they had to go because they were such a great addition to the series.

 

That being said, I do prefer Bo and Duke, obviously.

Does anyone know the languages of different countries on the logos The Dukes of Hazzard?

For example:

1 - USA - The Dukes of Hazzard

2 - Portugal - Os Três Duques

3 - Spain - Los Dukes de Hazzard

I knew them Portuguese had a DVD release of the series, but never did I know there was in Spanish, too.

Here are the DVD covers of the Spanish and Portuguese releases:

Thanks for these covers. Not much point hunting it down unless for dubs and subs, I suppose.

 

The best DVD release remains the American. Correct resolution, no ghosting and accurate framerate.

 

Let's hope they'll release the series on Blu-ray, Amazon has the show in HD, but cropped to 16:9 so you can't see detail you'd see on 4:3. For that reason, I prefer the DVDs over the HD version.

The Brazilian title made it sound like some sort of a porn.

[The Season 5 "Problem"]

Hi all.

 

Normally, a cast replacement is a bad idea, but the boys they got temporarily to switch for Bo and Luke were great. They just weren't Bo and Luke, that's all.

 

Nowadays, if a network makes a cast replacement it's very likely to ruin the show/movie and/or the characters.

 

Also, Byron Cherry  made me remember Terence Hill with that blonde hair of his and his adorable smile.

[Cancel Culture is coming for the Dukes...]

Unfortunately IT already came way back when Dylan Roof went on that killing spree in that SC church in 2015.

Roof had a Rebel Flag, but he wasn't a Dukes' fan, right?

What other folks are saying is that people and even certain media outlets will target the Dukes of Hazzard until it gets banned like other products out there have. You've heard about the Dr. Seuss books, correct? Six of them have been deemed "racist" and apparently, even if someone tries to sell on eBay they'll be removed (I haven't checked though I wouldn't be surprised).

Those who want to cancel everything will eventually be canceled themselves. People around the world are losing freedom and free speech, yet they can't see it.
