Went see the movie last night. Actually saw it twice. There was a Premiere showing in Baton Rouge at Rave theather. There was a General Lee & four of the race cars used in the movie including the Yellow Vette owned by friend of my Dad's plus lots of local people who played extras in the movie... Man, it was a funny movie and the car action was top notch... I think the DVD will be over the top with all the stunt mishaps and more racing action.... The only flaw I saw was Boss Hogg boiling crawfish one at a time and when he takes a crawfish out it's still moving.... I'll see it again...

Scott. It actually belongs to friend of my Dad's who owns the 78 Yellow Vette used in the race scenes...

Scott. Someone called me about the Feature articles & Pics from Duke of Hazzard Movie in latest edition.... Where in the Bazton Rouge area can I pick up a copy? Friend of mine is looking around Covington area and couldn't find copy... I need to know understand their's picture of Yellow Prowler around Clinton??? Thanks for your help... I know you posted a while back about up coming srticles and coverage of the Gen Lee and behind the scenes pictures...

Bought a copy of the $3 DVD last night at Walmart and the 10 - 12 minutes of behind the scenes footage is outstanding.... No shots of the racing scenes... although I did see Boss Hogg's Mustang racecar & driver... And, Willie is the balladeer... This will be one kick-butt movie...

Joe don is Gov James P. Applewhite (Gov of GA). He says Gentlemen start your engines and fires a pistol to start the race... Pics are posted at the this site: http://www.ccc-la.com/gallery/index.php In the album from Filming at State Capital Raceway in Jan.

I think these shots were from the filming in New Orleans for the movie (suppose to be Atlanta)... Here's link I copied from post on POA site... http://www.hotrodsandclassics.com/FunnyVideos/Videos/GeneralLee.mpeg

THey wredked an average of two a day... And, does were repaired and put back into action... So, total # may be quite high although they started with the original 25 or 26...

The trailer is good... I'm ready for the movie... & the sequel...

Thanks for the links. Two great interviews and confirms that this is going to be a good movie... From the interviews, you have solved one of the mysteries we saw from the pics of the movie filming on Hwy 10 near Clinton. it was Luke Duke & Uncle Jesse in Boss Hogg's Caddy throwing molotov cocktails at the police cars during the Rally race scenes filming along Hwy 10 (pics posted at ccc-la web site). Actually at that shoot it was the 2nd unit and their stunt replacements doing the driving... http://www.ccc-la.com/gallery/index.php But, now it makes sense, Luke stole Boss's caddy.. And, it was Luke & Uncle Jessie in Boss's Caddy... We just couldn't understand how Boss & Uncle Jessie had teamed up....

Very good recap. Lots of pictures of the GO mobile and the roof mounted controled Gen Lee along with the Muscle cars in the racing scenes at this link: http://www.ccc-la.com/gallery/index.php The pics at State Capital have Bo in the Go Mobile along with some 2nd unit shots. The pics along Hwy 10 are with the 2nd unit and have the muscle cars along with Gen Lee & the pistol gripped Boss Hogg White Caddy... I can't wait for the movie to come out...
