sam29 Posted January 15, 2005 Report Posted January 15, 2005 Why have they made Boss Hogg tall and thin in this film. I think Burt will be great as Boss Hogg but he is ment to be short and fat. They should have kept him short and fat. Quote
Rayford Flicker Posted January 15, 2005 Report Posted January 15, 2005 Fat suit?, maybe they'll use one like they did for Fat Bastard in the Ausin Powers movies.... Quote
Capt_Redneck Posted January 15, 2005 Report Posted January 15, 2005 Some how I don't Burt Reynolds will go for a fat suit . LOL..I think he will be good in the role of Boss Hogg..The movie seems to taking a different direction anyway. Quote
Rayford Flicker Posted January 15, 2005 Report Posted January 15, 2005 haha capt, ur right, it was just an idea Quote
dukefan Posted January 16, 2005 Report Posted January 16, 2005 As far as I'm concern,the whole cast sucks!Boss hogg has to be fat,hell cletus t judd fits boss hogg's suit better then reynolds....... Quote
Larry Duke Posted January 17, 2005 Report Posted January 17, 2005 Let's face it all. The GENERAL LEE was the star of the show. If there is tons of car chases and high flying it will be a hit. Quote
southnow Posted January 18, 2005 Report Posted January 18, 2005 I swear I don't understand you people. Hollywood has the guts to pay tribute to my (and I'm guessing pretty much everyone here) favorite show and there's more whining than anything.You seem more concerned about how the stars LOOK than the quality of the acting. Burt Reynolds is an established actor, he's a great LEGENDARY actor, he's a real Southerner, an actual Georgian (something the original Boss Hogg was not...he was a damn YANKEE!) and he's agreed to bring Boss Hogg to life in the movie. It seems some of you would rather have a no talent beginner play the part so long as he was short, fat, and balding.Movies are supposed to take things to a new level. You have to have a better quality of actor for the big screen. Give Reynolds the credit he deserves. After all, who would have thought that a pu%#y like Val Kilmer could have pulled off the role of Doc Holiday? Turned out that he was a good actor and got the job done.I'm not even ready to discount Simpson and Daisy yet. I agree she wouldn't have been my first choice but at least give her the chance to fail before crucifying her. Let's see the movie and see how she does. Scott can act and will probably do a decent Bo. "But he acts like a moron in his other movies!". Yes, that's what they paid him to do. Knoxville should make a good Luke, he's a good actor, and again, a true-blooded southerner (unlike the original Luke who is a yankee and now makes CDs singing Manhatten-style piano bar tunes).The characters were the stars, not the actors who portrayed them. How do you know the originals captured those personalities as well as these guys can. I can't wait to get to know Boss Hogg with a talent like Reynolds presenting him. Maybe the movie will be a terrible disapointment, then again, we may get to know our beloved Dukes like we never knew them before.Thanks for allowing me the rant. Quote
dukefan Posted January 18, 2005 Report Posted January 18, 2005 The cast for the original dukes of hazzard was well picked,and the caracters were well played! As for Burt reynolds, he has always been one of my fav actors,but as boss hogg????I'd rather see him act as Roscoe,after all James best was buddies with burt,way back in the cannon ball run movie,on and off screen! Burt was really funny and the coolest bandit ever,as Roscoe he gets to be funny and upholding the law ,sorta speak, instead of being the chasee,he becomes the chaser...lol! I think Danny devito would be a great boss hogg. that scott fellow,is an awsome actor,but doesn't fit the Bo type! I've been knocking this movie since I got here,what an ass I was, I took y'all advise and decided to give it a chance! I still think the cast is not well picked ! I love the idea of the general lee in action on the big screen, and maybe these actors are big fans of the dukes too,hell If I had the chance to be Bo Duke,i'd take it too! Willie nelson is a great guy,and he can act somewhat,but just don't seem fitting for him to be uncle jessie! I guess I just expected too much of this movie,wanted the cast to be in resemblance to the original as much as possible ! I guess I'm old in my ways,I really feel bad for those other post i put out knocking this movie! Well thanks for not shoving me aside,i really didn't mean to offend anyone! sincerely ,dukefan! Quote
JESSI DUKE Posted January 18, 2005 Report Posted January 18, 2005 I think when it came to who's playing Uncle Jesse. They made a good choice. He as the look, But I don't know if will be able to fill Denver's shoe.But I guess when the movies out we will find out. When it comes to Daisy they should have picked someone who looked more like Cathy. I can't see Daisy as blond. I think that Boss should have been a big person not someone thin. I can't see Rosco being straight lace. If it turns out that it was a great movie. I will be the first one to let you all know.Jessi Duke 8) Quote
rullhammond Posted January 18, 2005 Report Posted January 18, 2005 What about cameos by the original cast? I got the perfect cameo scene: What if the new Daisy (Jessica) served a drink to the original Daisy (Catherine Bach) at the Boars Nest. What about Ben Jones? Heck he could not only make a cameo but could reprise his role as Cotter! Quote
youngBO Posted January 25, 2005 Report Posted January 25, 2005 love the typo rullhammond cooter would be proud hehe welcome cousin. Devito would be the ideal choice but as for hollywood changing it I dunno I guess if we complain enuff then maybe they would hehe but I would place Burt somewhere that could shine like Rosco. I agree with ya dukefan he would make a great choice and could prob give his own take on the rosco laugh. Oh well I just gues we will all have to see the movie and make our own judgement later yall Rosco " keep the pedal to the metal and your gown down I'm gone" Quote
T-Man Posted January 25, 2005 Report Posted January 25, 2005 I really never though of it, but yeah, burt would have been a pretty good rosco, Too bad Jackie Gleason isnt still alive, he would of made a great boss hogg, or at least i think so anyway, maybe not, i dont know! Quote
Owlknight Posted February 3, 2005 Report Posted February 3, 2005 From ECW..! Fame Now On WWE..! Would Definately Make THE VERY BEST BOSS HOGG..!!!!!!!!! EVER..!!!!!!!!! Quote
dukesfan1979 Posted February 3, 2005 Report Posted February 3, 2005 Don't worry y'all, from the information I have been gathering, It seems like we are in for a real treat. The producers are trying to make a movie that is fun just like Smokey and The Bandit was, so lets all take a deep breath, relax, wait for the movie come out and I think all will be well in Hazzard County. Take care y'all.... Quote
Julieduke Posted February 17, 2005 Report Posted February 17, 2005 What if Elvis Presley would have lived to guest star in the Dukes show, that would put a intersecting spin on things. Quote
