Wonderfully offbeat film!

Good idea lost in the noise

It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

I picked up the series again after have seen it as a teenager. And as so many teenagers indeed Daisy Duke was my first television crush. But the reason why I have a closer look is that I do like all those American muscle cars. They still beat all those German cars for me. 35 years after being shot you can see that it was well made especially the stunts. Back then CGI didn't exist so they must do all the stunts and there are a lot here to pick up from major jumps to crashes to speeding and slipping in the centre of the town.Can you ever imagine that 309 Dodge Chargers were used throughout the whole series. I was lucky to see one of those Chargers at a convention and it's big. No servo at all and still they are driving it like it was a feather. But not only the Charger, there was one episode were the Dukes has to race against a Ford Mustang. Men, this is a dream, two of my favorite cars against each other. There are so many muscle cars to spot, like Daisy's 1974 Plymouth Roadrunner. This series is pure cult classic. Even the shorts Daisy is wearing became a legend and up to today people refer to Daisy Dukes. And it wasn't intended that she had them on, she came on set with those short on and the erst is history. What a lady.But back to reality, the stories itself weren't always that strong and it's more a slapstick situation that they created. The Smokeys being the retarded ones and the Bandits always being catched by the Dukes. But the acting is what still makes it watchable. Sorrell Brooke (Boss Hogg) really stands out as did Sheriff Coltrane (James Best) with his special way of talking. To be honest they were all well casted.If you grew up beginning eighties then you can pick it up without a doubt. If you don't know the series but are a muscle car addict then pick this up without a doubt, and watch...and listen to those engines....got how funny are those German cars nowadays.Gore 0/5 Nudity 0/5 Effects 4/5 Story 2/5 Comedy 1,5/5

When one is a kid with a sister, one sometimes is forced to watch shows they would rather not watch. This is the one for me. I hated this show as a kid as it bored me to no end. I did not like the Duke boys, Boss Hog, or any of that crap. Though Daisy Dukes was a cutie in those shorts, so that is about the only thing to watch in this show about two guys evading the law whenever they can. The town is run by a corrupt leader and the Duke boys do what they can to undermine him at every turn. This show did last longer than most hour long shows of the time. Usually, a show of this type would not last very long usually axed after the second or third season and just falling short of 100 episodes. This one made it to 145 so despite my dislike of the show it most have had its followers. I just was not one of them, this show just was not to my tastes, the chases proved to be boring compared to ones from a James Bond flick, the car not cool at all when compared to Smokey's car from "Smokey and the Bandit" or "Knight Rider" and the humor not my kind of humor. Of course, to this day I have an extreme dislike for super southern type things, growing up here in the south one can only take the southern slang so much, I had no urge to see redneck talking folks on television too. The show also had more cast changes during its run than the normal show. They replaced the Duke boys and I think even Daisy at one point. I just do not see replacing what made the show famous and still surviving, though I think the original Duke boys did come back. However, you really do have to admire those shorts.

Tom Wopat and John Schneider were, of course, tremendous, as Bo and Luke on "The Dukes of Hazzard"!! What can you say about Catherine Bach (Daisy)? Every man's dream, we won't say what kind!! Also, Chip Mayer and Byron Cherry were really good as Bo and Luke's cousins!! I liked this show!! The "Dukes of Hazzard" exemplified the term, innocuous, and interjected humorous predicaments with a g-rated sex appeal, and hilariously classic car chase scenes!! The recent release of the '2005 movie only fortified American's interest in the original series!! Many people have a yearning to reminisce about the days of the Duke Boys of Hazzard County, and their naive chicanery!!...All of the ossified, pork barreling buffoons that tried to incarcerate the Duke boys and their cousins, contributed to the comical twist in this series as well!! I liked "Dukes of Hazzard", it was indicative of a bygone era in television which garnered a particularly fond remembrance to it!! Tom Wopat and John Schneider have an immense amount of talent, as their singing voices are spectacular!! It is an undeniable fact that both of them definitely fall into the category of Hollywood superstars!! Chip Mayer is a former super model, and Catherine Bach has been voted the seventh sexiest woman EVER!! on television. Accolades like this make "Dukes of Hazzard" very noteworthy in the wonderful world of hour long adventure comedies on television!! The creativity of this series manufactured a familiarity with the television audience in terms of the rural association we have always cherished for prime time to display every once in awhile!!

The show was written mostly for 12 year-old boys....which I was when it premiered.Most 12 year-old boys envied Bo and Luke, were in love with Daisy, wish they had an Uncle Jesse, loved to hate Boss Hogg, and wanted to drive the General Lee and/or jump it over the creeks.The show had a clear-cut vision of good and bad, the good guys won in the end, and everything was resolved in a neat and tidy fashion in an action-packed hour. What's there not to like?Any time capsule of 1970s television would be incomplete without this wonderful, fun show that belongs in any DVD collection, especially in households with young males.
