JBama01 Posted April 12, 2005 Report Share Posted April 12, 2005 If this new "review" of the movie is true, which I doubt, there's alot of inconsistencies.First, the person says that the car starts off orange with different fonted numbers on the doors, but the flag isn't on it until after the first jump when it's wrecked? It's not even called The General Lee unitl some hillbillys help fix the car and that's when the flag is painted on along with "General Lee." Now, correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't Cooter supposed to be the one fixing the car and painting all the logos on? This of course after they bring him a BLACK charger.Next, they couldn't "repair" the doors so they'd open, insted they just have to be inconvenienced and slide in through the windows ?!? HELLO, that was the whole point of The General Lee BEING a race car. The doors of a race car are WHAT? Welded shut. Remember in “Daisy’s Song†when Waylon says “General Lee was their race car, they built him from the wheels up.â€Stoner Dukes ?!? What's next...Daisy a hooker ? Boss Hogg gay ?All these sexual innuendos and lame jokes.These bozos at WB totally forgot what made TDOH such a successful TV show.Hopefully this isn't the movie, because if it is, then I just changed my mind on seeing it.It smells like a turd on the way.

JESSI DUKE Posted April 12, 2005 Report Share Posted April 12, 2005 Let's hope by the grace god that these are not true. That is just WB's way of getting people to want to see the movie. Maybe they think that if they somany different accounts that it will make more people want to see it in stead of just Duke fans. 8) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dale The Bold Posted April 12, 2005 Report Share Posted April 12, 2005 The part about the orange Charger with a different 01 on it is true. The movie is re-telling the story of how the General Lee came to be. It is not adhering to the "Happy Birthday, General Lee" episode. And because the reviewer got that right, I'm very worried that they're going to make Uncle Jesse a loser pothead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lost_sheep3 Posted April 13, 2005 Report Share Posted April 13, 2005 I agree with you Dale the Bold, I've been reading all the reviews (most of which just annoy me, but I can't stop myself) and it sounds like they are making Jesse a pot-head....which goes against EVERYTHING the Dukes ever taught.I wasn't expecting an exact remake of the original, but I expected at least some of the same ideas.

Dale The Bold Posted April 13, 2005 Report Share Posted April 13, 2005 I wasn't expecting an exact remake of the original, but I expected at least some of the same ideas.Yeah, this goes beyond just "creative changes." I mean, I can dislike, yet accept, things like making Daisy a blonde, or even "apologizing" for the flag to a degree. But they've turned Uncle Jesse into the exact opposite of Uncle Jesse. He's a bad guy! The Anti-Jesse. Bo and Luke would beat up and help arrest this version of the "Duke family." Then they'd proceed to blow up their stash of drugs so that no one can sell it or use it.This is so dumb, they might as well have Boss Hogg put on spandex and run around fighting crime while shooting lasers from his eyes with as far off as they've gotten.
