bamamediamafia Posted January 30, 2005 Report Share Posted January 30, 2005 my idea is that this movie should be more of a mesh of the first 2 episodes of the show, and the movie that this show was inspired by, i tink it was called the moonshiners or moon shine runners, something like that.

Brian Coltrane Posted January 30, 2005 Report Share Posted January 30, 2005 Eh, I dunno. Moonrunners was a gritty flick. With the car themes, it was sort of a "Smokey and the Bandit" meets "Deliverance." I find Moonrunners noteworthy for it's historical value to the Dukes of Hazzard; but if it hadn't been followed by the Dukes of Hazzard; the movie itself would have been forgettable.

Capt_Redneck Posted January 30, 2005 Report Share Posted January 30, 2005 Brian you are right ......I don't think Moonrunners would even be mentioned if it wasn't for the Dukes...It really wasn't a bad movie. It was just of a regional type of movie in the 70's. You had movies like Dirty Mary , Crazy Larry - Peter Fonda, Walking Tall - Joe Don Baker and Bo Svensen in the sequals, The Last American Hero - Jeff Bridges and the Burt Reynolds movies Gator and White Lightning...There are others too numerous to mention...But these movies did well in the rural areas than in the more metropolitan cities because the more rural areas related to the themes a heck of a lot better..

Briantmoonrunners that the name of it, my mind is going on me. anyways, that movie should be remade.even though this movie is not a reunion movie featuring the original cast, it still will feel like an reunion movie because the dukes are racing against boss hogg and his henchmen from selling the farm to a woman who wants to build a highway or something.
