Beauregard Special

I NEED TO KNOW! PLEASE!

CRIPES! THAT IS TERRIBLE! WHAT DID YOU DO, DRINK A TRUNKFULL OF MOONSHINE BEFORE THE MOVIE? IT WAS WORSE THAN STARSKY AND HUTCH (ALTHOUGH I'M NOT AS BIG A FAN OF THAT, SO I WON'T DEFEND IT.) AT LEAST IT DIDN'T HAVE ANY COKE-INFLICTED DANCE-SCENES. I APOLOGIZE FOR THE LETTERS. MY KEYBOARD'S HALF-BUSTED.

Thanks much. By the way, how's your Dixie replica going? I read about it in another forum.

Can anyone tell me a good place in: New York/Massachusetts/Pensylvania/Connecticut that can do a decent Dixie paint job? I'm using a '92 Jeep, although I know Dixie's a CJ7, but I need something to tide me over until I can buy a Charger to make into a General! Please, help! Oh, and any other details can and will help. Thanks!

Let's talk about things that could be added to the General's paint job, just 'cause. how's this? Flames riding from the front bumper to the door side of the front wheel? Back two years later, in case someone reads ancient threads, hope the system doesn't bump this deal up. I didn't mean desecration at all, just, y'know, for humor purposes, but y'all are right, you don't change a uniform and that's just what the General's paint is: his uniform, and you just can't deface that.

The movie was terrible, and they didn't even use the real personalities of the Dukes! Uncle Jesse making one-liners? Talk about wrong. He went from family partriarch to comedian. And they got the Duke boys all wrong! Stifler was a terrible Bo, he fainted at the sight of a girl, for cryin' out loud! And Jackass as Luke, wasn't Luke the smart one? The movie got everything wrong! Enos was a clean minded deputy, not dirty little pervert in a badge! And Rosco and Boss Hogg seemed way too evil! And Rosco was smart (wrong!) plus, he didn't even acknowledge Flash once! Only Boss called the poor dog by his name, once! And Boss seemed a lot more like Bill from Kill Bill, evil, yet motivated. Jessica Simpson was terrible in general and by General! Honestly! And as for the movie, didn't Uncle Jesse stop running shine by order of the government? And weren't the boys on probation? They totally screwed up the story of the origin of General Lee! The 01 was because they started with nothing and ended up number one! And the doors were welded shut, not broken! And don't even get me started on them calling it General Lee before the flag. Why would they do this? Bo and Luke almosted hated each other (hitting each other upside the head with the Atlanta phone book?) And that barfight, the boys went postal, put on helmets and began beating people with poolsticks! even worse is their oh-so-brilliant idea to include that UFO-obsessed freak Skeeves or whatever his name is. This movie is a joke on Hazzard! What next, the guys who made Scary Movie remaking Smokey and the Bandit? No, wait. THat might actually be funny. okay, bad example! And that part with people insulting the General's flag or poking fun at it, why can't Broken Lizard go back to making movies like one about a bunch of firefighters shutting their [truck horn]s in the door on their way to a fire?! Keep out of Hazzard! Hopefully, when I get a chance, I'll try to convince someone to help continue the Dukes series, THE RIGHT WAY (Except with CG stunts on the account we can't go making Dodge Chargers extinct. Then what'll we make General Lee replicas out of?) And by the way, crawfish AND crawdad. They're interchangeable.

What kind of pushbar was used early-on on the General, before the more recent ones from just before the show ended? Also, what kind of roll cage was used on Lee #1, just for accurate reference?

Ol' General looks good for his age. If the car was still on sale, I'd buy it, and save to death to repair it! Wonder who owns it now. I'd give my left nut for it!

Pretty good, for a four door. Why can't Dodge learn? And those windows look pretty hard to jump through, just by opinion. However, if I could, I'd buy it.

Feeling like a nimrod. Just saw a commercial. Looks okay, but the 01 on the General's side in that one jump looks like they yanked the 1 off of Thomas the Tank Engine and recolored it. Odd. Still say Knoxville and, the other guy, don't belong as the Duke boys. Reynolds does a good Boss, but he could at least put on a little weight. He looks more like Hughie Hogg than J.D. Hogg. And I still hate how they apologize for the paint job.

Awesome. I know another one of Ulysseus S. Grant's possible descendents. And I also know a DIRECT descendent of Robert Lee. Pretty cool. Well, I've seen a General Santa Anna in Mexico, like the guy at the Alamo. La Cucaracha is not a good horn. It was a Challenger, though. Some meadow muffin don't know his cars. Go figure.

Font color: Jeez. For every "I hate the movie" post, there are two "I hate people who hate the movie" posts! Well to start this... So? They could have casted Burt Reynolds in a cameo. No need to give him Boss Hogg! Look, I can think of a couple hundred people for that role. Hell, my Gramps could do a good job. Put him in a white suite, he looks exactly like Sorrel Brooke did as Boss, with darker hair, but he can dye it! Now as for the Dukes, I don't care if Jessica Simpson wants to break into the movie biz, do another movie! As for Williams-Scott, since I can't call him Stifler anymore , if he shaved, he'd be decent. Knoxville is a lousy actor. He may be famous for being reckless but that's set-yourself-on-fire-in-a-dynamite-shack stupid, not evade the law and have a good time reckless. Having a rebel-flag helmet won't cut it, especially if your southern accent is Foxworthy-esque stereotypical! Now the guy they have playing Enos looks like a zombie, say what you will, he does! Rosco HAS TO have the chuckle, otherwise he seems like a faggy asshole. They could have taken time to cast instead of calling MTV to see what they had laying around! Jeez. Go ahead. Hate on me. I've said my peace. If they got the confidence this cast will work, use a modern charger. With the REAL General Lee gone, everyone will know the movie sucks. I know everyone wants to see the General on the big screen Well, play a Dukesfest General Lee Parade on a theatre screen! I can record my cousin's General replica outrunning my car Johnny Reb (yes, I am debating on the name), hows that? :x Kay. 'Nuff lunacy. Well, that said, the movie's gonna be okay, but it WILL break a few things I hold as law in Hazzard. The show was set up so that people would laugh and enjoy it without someone getting kicked in the nuts or set on fire as to say "Okay, laugh now!" and thanks for pointing out the white lettering on the new General. Hollywood sucks. They oughta make the cast and script pass a 100 fan poll before they do anything so everyone's represented.Now please, understand. I don't care if they want to attract new fans. They attracted a lot of my buddies, aged 10-19 on the old series, and I'm only 15. I don't know where you're from where people can't enjoy this. The new movie will suck. Old fans will hate the movie and new fans will hate the show. Why? They aren't the same thing. The only thing the two have in common is General Lee. If the series were like the movie, we wouldn't have Dukesfest. We wouldn't have Hazzardnet. We wouldn't have that part of the song "1970 something" where he mentions Daisy Duke (running outta references...). So understand; the Dukes was clean humor and family values. Neither of which will be in this lousy movie! So have your opinion, I'll have mine. Vent your frustrations.

1) I can deal with the Bimbo, I guess :x 2) I never insulted the actors or reason behind Coy and Vance, I just didn't like WB trying to clone Bo and Luke into these two. They should have given Meyer and Cherry a chance at originality. 3) Johnny Reb's moniker has been repainted. Now he's Colonel Jackson (Thought it went along with General Lee better) but the "CHARGE!" horn is still there. Still same grey Mustang with dual rebel flags and a black hood. 4) The movie wouldn't be half bad if they didn't have the guy who directed "Super Troopers" in charge. 5) A skinny and tall Boss is a bad idea. Have your opinion, I'll have mine. 6) You can't have a Rosco without the GKUH! It's like a summer beach with no water! 7) Moderninzation is bad; in any movie. 8 ) Enos is not a zombie; he's a dipstick 9) Bo and Luke were reckless, but Knoxville is overkill! They'll probably open with him farting on a lighter, blowing up half of Hazzard (town, not county) 10) Have William-Scott shave, then tell me he's alright. Okay, 'nuff venting. I know WB wants a new audience, but look. I was born back near the turning into the '90s and they still got me, and quite a few of my friends. Unlike a building, they don't have to destroy the Dukes of Hazzard to make this blasphemy on Hazzard, Cars and Americana. The movie's okay until you see the original, but what I fear is canning Classic Dukes for a NEW Dukes series. I will agree, the reunions hurt. Espeically Boss being dead, but at least it was an update on things in Hazzard. And as for merchandising, for the movie, all they're doing is slapping Stifler, Jackass and Simpson's mugs on all the old toys and jack up the prices (on the upside, maybe I can find a General Lee bike now! ) They may think they are bringing the Dukes to a new audience and yes, I agree it might be good as something new, but it's not what I know and goes against what I believe in; the purity, humor and family values of the Dukes. Sure, it was a comedy and car show, but it also was something the kids could watch too (AND DON'T SAY A THING ABOUT ONE ARMED BANDITS THROUGH HIGH OCTANE! THEY WERE BEFORE THE FAMILY ERA) They ain't gotta have someone kicked in the nuts or set on fire to make someone laugh. What next? Flames painted on the General? And before I get any comments, cool, but no.

THE General oughta be brought back to his formal glory. Every Dukesfan oughta pitch in AT LEAST 10$ to buy it and restore it, you know, so we can all say the General is a part of our families like the Dukes always claimed. But we'd have to put it in the original paint job, with the overlapping flags on the back.

Say what you will. The movie wouldn't be any big deal if it were something I wasn't raised on. My family was never together. When Dukes came on, be it cookin' dinner or fixin' the house, my parents and sister would drop everything to watch. When TNN dropped it years ago, we stopped that hour of family time. Now that it's back on CMT, things have fallen back into their old groove pretty quick. They're taking a major part of what shaped my childhood and screwing it up. It's like taking someone's favorite candy and changing the recipe. It could be sweeter, it could be more sour or it could just be nasty, but it isn't what they love. I'm not saying the Dukes of Hazzard movie isn't good, I'm just saying they're shattering my memories with an "All-Star" cast of idiots and a skinny man in a white suit hiding behind a beloved idol orange/red car they'll find some way to deface. Boss Hogg was old, short and fat. Burt Reynolds is as far from that as China is from New York (travelling east) and they're Daisy is a bimbo, a hot bimbo, but a blonde, b****y gutterslut no less, no Cathy Bach in my opinion. Willie Nelson was a sure-fire idea, but one board can't cover a hole in the floor. They stripped off Dixie's name (it's true. Say what you like.), you can't have Rosco without that chuckling GHKUH of his, and don't even get me started on Stifler and Jackass as Bo and Luke or the zombie Enos! Coy and Vance were like Pearl Harbor, this movie is September 11th. They're terrorists hiding behind my beloved idol car the General Lee, who they may as well paint blue with an american flag on top and call General Grant because they've screwed everything else up. Sorrel and Denver have to be spinning in their graves about this movie. That General LEE1 is probably gonna rust from the tears of shame. This is the challenge to all Dukes fans. Will we take this sitting down? I'll burn that set down with the help of my grey Mustang, Johnny Reb, if I gotta! LET'S UNLEASH AN ORANGE SWARM AND GET US BACK OUR DIGNITY AS DUKES FANS! WHO'S WITH ME?

General Grant always did strike me as an idea for a Mustang too.

I never said anything 'bout the roof flag. On Hazzardnet's homepage, look at the front liscense plate on the movie poster's General Lee. Even a little change is bad. Oh, and BTW, I have a newfound respect for canadians! Nice job!

You'd never believe it! Look what those Meadow Muffins in Hollweird did! Either they screwed up a paint job or they stripped Dixie of her name! Have a look! http://store.yahoo.com/ehobbies-com/amt38371.html Now she's just "Daisy's Jeep", which I refuse to call her since Jessica Simpson is not and never will be Daisy! Oh, and the General's rebel flag liscense plate now just says 01. Damn Hollywimps. Scared of some nonexistant lawsuit. They show it on TV, what difference is there in having it in a movie?

Well, all you folks out there'd better run, I think someone lost their mind. Personally, I would have made it 13 for the original states, but oh well. Run for cover! It's THE GENERAL GRANT! The horn plays "Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!"

I've come to terms with Simpson. She's hot, but still no Cathy Bach. I'm more concerned of Boss Toothpick. Who cares if Burt Reynolds was the Bandit? He's too skinny and too tall. It doesn't fit the pun on the name HOGG. BTW; with how bad the movie looks, how much you want to bet the Balladeer's Chris Rock or Ah-nuld? Rock: Them Duke crackas is drivin' through Hazzard Whoa, the $#!) I'd to to that b**** Daisy! Wha- WHAT IS THAT ON THE ROOF OF THAT CAR?! GET THAT OFF! #$%^ this! I'm outta here! Kinda scares you, huh? Hey, didja see who's playing Enos? Looks like someone Dawn of the Dead turned down for a zombie role to a "no-professionals" policy.

Jackass himself signed it from the looks. Oh, and by the way; they crash the General in one scene! Stop this movie! They're killing of Dodge Chargers for no reason! It's like making lemonade with the world's last lemons and then spilling it! I hope Stifler and Jackass get killed by a stunt Lee going berserk and running over them!

It's... awful... the General... might... become... this! THIS IS AWFUL! The new Charger. And they have the gald to call it the Road and Track edition, same title as the General. What if they use this in the movie! I don't think Jessica Simpson will fit through it (cool! Maybe that can get her thrown off the movie! > Your opinion on this?

I'll drink to that. Lee 1 is a car all other Chargers strive to be (Screw you, KITT!) And I'm probably not the only one who thinks all Dukesfans at will to ought to buy it off the current owner (Why'd Mr. Jones sell it, anyway?) and restore it to it's previous glory. Who's with me?

This isn't the Dukes of Hazzard. This is "Dude, Where's my General Lee?" Who's agreein'? Probably gonna open with Jackass lighting the General's exhaust on fire!
