My first impressions of the teaser trailer... Bo - not bad, but what's up with the beard? He should be more of a heartthrob, ladykiller. And the Led Zeppelin T-shirt is too much. Wrong, wrong, wrong. The Dukes are supposed to be country boys through and through... and I even LOVE Led Zeppelin. Luke - Hard to match up to the original, but I like Knoxville, and he could turn out okay. At least he wears a checked shirt (although admittedly not blue.) Hate the Top Gun sunglasses, though. The two of them together - they seem to have a good chemistry. But my issue is with their characterization. They're supposed to be "good 'ol boys, never meanin' no harm." As somone else on here said, they seem to be looking for trouble. Daisy - Will never, ever live up to the glorious Catherine Bach. However, I must say when I heard about this casting I was appalled. "Daisy is NOT a ditz!" I must have said a hundred times since the announcement. Well, thank goodness, she doesn't seem to be one in this movie. I really enjoyed the bar scene, where she lays the smack down on that inconsiderate hick. A Duke protects her honor. I am very impressed with her southern accent. Just over-the-top enough. I hate the blonde hair, but as I said before, no one will ever top the incomparable Catherine Bach. I can understand Jessica Simson wanting to keep her traidmark coif. She's pretty hot, but I wish her legs were longer. Boss Hogg - Terrible. Nothing against Burt (he should have played Roscoe) but he's too tall, too thin and too sinister. The original Boss was mean and selfish, but he was more of a comedic antihero... a bumbling n'er-do-well. Not really a vengeful man. I know the movie doesn't have to follow the tv show exactly, but this was a crucial hire and portrayal that was messed up. Uncle Jesse - Perfect hire, but I'm hoping the portrayal is a little more cranky and virtuous than the trailer showed. He seemed a little sheepish in the muffin scene and I can't see the original Uncle Jesse throwing a Molotov coctail at another man, even a cop. I can see him leading a cop into a crumbling barn, but not the outright violence of an explosive. Roscoe - Not in the trailer, but judging by other roles that the actor has played, I'm anticipating the same problems as the Boss Hogg role. Enos - Hard to mess this one up too bad. He seems pretty good to me. Does anyone know who plays him? Music - great. Hazzard - great. Boars Nest - Beyond great. Awesome. I love the shot where you're looking up at Daisy and see the dollar bills on the ceiling. Classic. Dynamite - Glad they kept this crucial trademark, but the scene where the dukes and their big friend get blown backwards looks cheesy and too computer-animation for me. And again, the Dukes don't seem the type to shoot a bomb into a car's radiator. Jokes - All the jokes associated with Daisy were great... The Double-D, the Special, the Wait Till I Leave and the Undercarriage jokes were spot-on. I also liked Luke's "No, but do you have an application," and "I never get tired of hearing him say that." Everything else sucked. ESPECIALLY the japanese stuff, the shrimp-on-the-barbie stuff, and the stupid "White after Labor Day" joke. And Last but not least... THE GENERAL LEE Holy Cow. YEEEEEEE-HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA Awesome. Incredible. The stunts look AMAZING! I'm SO glad they went with real stunts. The first jump is so LONG! The last jump is so HIGH! Holy cow. I got chills! Thank the gods of hollywood that they made the right decisions here... not the least of which were the confederate flag on the roof and the "Dixie" horn. I was really, really, really, really worried those would be axed in the P.C. world we live in. I loved all the classic shots of spinning tires, eroded-creek jumps, road block busts, smashed cop cars and especially Bo sliding across the hood. (Did you notice that scene is reversed? Look at the "10" on the door and the "EEL LARENEG" over the window) My only problem was, in one interior scene you can see a modern stereo head unit. That sucks. But at least there's a CB underneath it. And, if it's true, I'm glad the moviemakers are going to tell the backstory, where Cooter soups up the car, repaints it and welds the doors. Random thoughts... The token black cop. Linda Carter looks great. Love the shot of the guy flying into the rack of bottles at the Boar's Nest. Whoever plays that fat cop could have played Boss Hogg. This movie looks like a lot of FUN, although nothing will match the original show. Just my two cents, er, dollars I guess.
