MaryAnne Posted August 21, 2004 Report Share Posted August 21, 2004 The General was black in the episode "Happy Birthday General Lee" during the flashback portion of the episode. The episode ran in the 7th season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R.J.1984 Posted August 21, 2004 Report Share Posted August 21, 2004 Good grief - the show lasted longer then Knight Rider or the A-Team for crying out loud. Why oh why do they always have to cancel the best shows to ever come out on t.v? All the best shows from the 1980's were pretty much some of the best shows to ever grace the t.v. At least they are bringing them out on Dvd now. Can't wait to get them all - or at least the ones from the shows that I liked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaneyDuke Posted August 27, 2004 Report Share Posted August 27, 2004 Yeah, that was Southern Cumforts, season 2 finale... the fastest paint job not done by a professional in on a tv show. Daney Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Posted October 27, 2004 Report Share Posted October 27, 2004 Hey a black GENERAL! That sound's b****in'! I have already thought about this. A satin/primer black one would be just right for me! I love black cars! And orange of course! Is there a picture of this one somewhere? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaneyDuke Posted October 28, 2004 Report Share Posted October 28, 2004 It was also black in episode 95: A Little Game Of Pool, when Boss and Rosco get temporary custody of the General. Johnny, If no one else finds a picture, I'll vidcap one sometime this next week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

k_harvic_29 Posted November 10, 2004 Report Share Posted November 10, 2004 If any of you have ever played "Dukes of Hazzard Return of the GENERAL LEE" You will see that the General in the game is black at first. The Dukes were remanising (SP) on when they first got the General. They went to the scrapyard to get the upgrade parts, then they had to beat Cooter to his gerage in a race. He said "If you boy can beat me to my gerage, Ah will build you your dream car...". Don't know too sure if that is how it went in the seiries, but that was how the game put it.TRULY YOURS: Skye Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
notquiteaxl Posted February 15, 2005 Report Share Posted February 15, 2005 The first time I was reminded of the black General Lee was when I went to Cooter's Place in Gatlinburg, TN (Dukes Museum) and I saw a 1:18 scale American Muscle model of it. I saw a gold General model, too, with the racing digits, the flag, everything on it. Anyone know the significance of that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
01 GENERAL LEE 01 Posted March 12, 2005 Report Share Posted March 12, 2005 Just bein' purty I imagine.A black Charger is b****in'. Hell, just watch all 3 Blade movies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Coltrane Posted March 12, 2005 Report Share Posted March 12, 2005 There was a black Charger in "The Fast and the Furious" movie, which didn't appear until towards the end...only to be smashed pretty bad. (Broke my heart to see it, too.) Another fine black Charger is in the old movie "Bullit". The movie itself isn't that hot, but it's worth renting for the chase scene. I tend to fast forward to the chase and skip the rest of the flick. If I recall correctly, the Charger ends up being incinerated by crashing into some gas pumps. And there was also a black Charger in the original "Cannonball" movie. (which had no affiliation with the later "Cannonball Run." ) This Charger also suffers ill fortune, by careening over the edge of an incomplete freeway. Ya know, upon reflection....it's a damn good thing the Dukes painted the General orange, given the track record for black Chargers.

01 GENERAL LEE 01 Posted March 13, 2005 Report Share Posted March 13, 2005 I'm noticing a trend here.Yeah, I boycotted Fast and Furious when I saw that scene in the trailer. Shoulda smashed up the other junk. Skipper Duke 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chet Duke Posted March 13, 2005 Report Share Posted March 13, 2005 Not sure if this interests any one, but Im currently building a model of a 1970 Dodge Charger. The Black Dodge Charger (Known as "The Beast" to my friends an I.) in the The Fast and The Furious was a 1970 Dodge Charger, it wasnt a 1969 like General Lee was. I bought the 1970 model specifically to build a car that is to scale to my creation, the General Lee's Ghost. It is very unfortunet that all these beautiful Chargers were destroyed in these movies. There was also a black Dodge Charger in the first and the second movie of "Blade." I thought it would just be nice to share that Im building a Charger from the Black Charger model from the fast and the furious. If that makes any sence lol. Oh an by the way, no worries, General Lee's Ghost is white, not black. 8) ~Chet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamanda Posted March 13, 2005 Report Share Posted March 13, 2005 Hmmm...if black Chargers cause them to wreck, but the General survived because it was orange...maybe Rosco, Enos, and Cletus should get the police car from "The Blues Brothers!" That car lasted the whole movie without a scratch! Although it did in a winnebego. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That car lasted the whole movie without a scratch! Although it did in a winnebego. ROFL! Yes, but remember what happened to the car once they made it to the Cook County Assessor's office. Reminded me of what's happened to Rosco and Enos' patrol cars sometimes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamanda Posted March 13, 2005 Report Share Posted March 13, 2005 Yeah, but at least it lasted a while. It's been a while since we've seen it. What did happen to the car? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaryAnne Posted March 14, 2005 Report Share Posted March 14, 2005 Once they got there, and got out of the car, they were no more than two feet away from it when the whole things just fell apart. Fenders fell off, the trunk pops open, the engine goes up in a puff of smoke, the works. Elwood pauses and takes his hat off to it. And then Jake grabs him and is like "C'mon!!!"

Jamanda Posted March 14, 2005 Report Share Posted March 14, 2005 Okay, we remember that now! LOL, we'll have to watch that again. I'll bet the General did that after the last episode of Dukes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
