Dale The Bold Posted June 29, 2005 Report Share Posted June 29, 2005 "The General Lee in the movie is an exact copy of the General Lee from the TV show," says Cyril O'Neil......except for the white letter tires, the cheap CB antenna, modern aftermarket radio, the weird side mirrors, having a mirror on the passenger side, different font on "General Lee" text, ugly aftermarket steering wheel, and having modern Georgia plates (which makes sense, but still counts as "not an exact copy")."The police cars from Hazzard County were the ones that were driven by Sheriff Roscoe P. Coltrane and those guys — those were all mid-80s Chevrolets. I think that that was done simply because…the Sheriffs' cars were equally as recognizable (as the General Lee). They wanted to capture the feel of Hazzard County, which, if you put them into them into modern day Crown Vics, people would say: 'That's not Sheriff Roscoe's car!'"They'll still say that if you're using cars from the 80's to represent plymouth Furys from the '70s. "As for the Confederate flag on the hood of the General Lee, O'Neil says "in the script… there was a scene that sort of made light of the whole thing. The Duke boys take their car and go to Atlanta…and when they go into the big city they are ridiculed for being rednecks… They actually end up in jail because of an incident where they're in sort of a rough part of town with the Confederate flag on the roof of their car and they nearly get their asses kicked."So...the message is that city people are ignorant? I guess I have no problem with that. Except I hope that they digitally replace that flag onto the TOP of the car instead of the hood.

Dale The Bold Posted June 29, 2005 Report Share Posted June 29, 2005 I just don't want people telling me at car shows that my car is "wrong" because it doesn't match the movie. And the steering wheel is just product placement, although it's an ugly steering wheel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaryAnne Posted June 30, 2005 Report Share Posted June 30, 2005 Well I wonder how they got a mid 80's Caprice into a 1979 tv show? Me thinks Mr. O'Neil needs a visual of the Plymouth Fury. May I present my avatar at the left... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Coltrane Posted June 30, 2005 Report Share Posted June 30, 2005 MaryAnne, perhaps you should present Mr. O'Neil with the Fury avatar at the bottom of your posts. It's a far more accurate representation. Brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flash Posted June 30, 2005 Report Share Posted June 30, 2005 I didn't even notice the 'General Lee' font was different. You people have eagle eyes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
