  1. Oh, yeah that also reminds me...Jr. Brown was an excellent balladeer...I figured either him or Toby Keith... Brent
  2. That reminds me...I will not be purchasing this DVD when it is released. I will save my money for such things as the orginal series (Even the Coy and Vance season is more enjoyable than this movie). Brent
  3. Let me start by saying I have read some of the reviews posted here but not all of them so if any of this is redundant, I apologize in advance. I finally went & watched this based upon the fact that I held a free ticket courtesy of my Season 3 DVDs. Overall I did not enjoy this film. I thought the changing of Uncle Jesse from the fatherlike patriarch into a bad-joke-teller was a poor choice. I had heard all of those jokes on numerous occasions and they were only moderately funny the first time. I had heard that the flim makers were going for a slightly more serious tone than the show, and that was pretty evident in how Boss and Rosco were portrayed. But that completely ruined Rosco and seemed to only fit a Burt Reynolds version of Boss, whom I thought did a good job in playing the character the film makers wanted. They were completely evil and lacked no moral substance like their TV counterparts possessed when it really mattered. The choice for Cooter was okay, though not on screen even close to enough. Instead screen time was filled with Skeev?! Enos was not goofy enough, and Cletus, was he even in the movie? Now for the main three: Daisy-I'll admit I thought Ms Simpson was a bad choice from the get-go. But, after watching her deliver lines it was obvious she did possess the ability to be more than just a "hood ornament." Unfortunately, that was all she was portrayed as. The TV Daisy was there to look good when that was what was needed but she was also the smartest and most educated of the family. Luke-Mr Knoxville was great for the look, but he was reduced to someone to fill the passenger seat while Bo drove. There was no older, wiser Duke; no more-mechanically-inclined Duke. Bo-I would say out of the entire main cast of this film, Seann William Scott best captured the essence of John Schneider's Bo. At times a little too wild, but no serious complaints. The only real slightly redeeming quality of the film was The General got the big budget movie treatment he deserved; the stunts looked great. On the other hand, the scenes involving the Confederate flag on top of the car were just inane and pointless. Displaying that flag does not equal racsim, plain and simple. All and all, the movie failed because they turned multi-faceted characters into one dimentional ones. I don't mind language in a film when it's present to create realism in a situation (i.e. Boyz N The Hood) or used creatively (i.e. Tarantino's films). But in this film it was used seemingly for the sake of using it and sounded out of place in Hazzard. That's it...Sorry so long. Brent
  4. That would be season 3...Enos leaves Hazzard for the LAPD and went to his own spin off...That left the deputy spot open...enter Cletus
  5. Thanks...that's what I figure since they did stick to original air date order, which is a pretty good indication that they are paying attention to detail. Can't wait 4 season 3, Brent
  6. Watching the second season on DVD I noticed there was no intro on the episode Treasure of Hazzard. It just goes straight into the theme song. Is this the way everyone else's DVD sets are? Is this the way it originally aired? Any feedback would be appreciated. New to HazzardNet, Brent
