The Dukes of Hazzard (TV Series 1979–1985) - Plot Summary - IMDb - Written by Ed Stephan <stephan@cc.wwu.edu> Series set in the rural community of Hazzard. The Dukes are a family who were once moonshiners but when cousins Bo and Luke were caught; they were given probation on the condition that they give up moon shining, which they did. Now every now and then they learn that J.D. Hogg who is called Boss Hogg is up to something so they do what they can to stop him especially when someone close to them is being threatened by Hogg. So along with their Uncle Jesse, their lovely cousin Daisy, and their good friend and mechanic, Cooter they stop every one of Boss' schemes. They are also fortunate that Hogg's right hand man, Roscoe Coltrane who is also the Sheriff is not very competent, and that his Deputy though loyal to Hogg and Roscoe is not corrupt and has a thing for Daisy, is a tad clumsy.

During the 5th season, Tom Wopat and John Schneider who play Luke and Bo had a contract dispute with the show, so they were written off with them at the NASCAR circuit, so cousins, Coy and Vance came to stay with Uncle Jesse and help him and Daisy with their encounters with Hogg. - Written by rcs0411@yahoo.com Bo and Luke Duke were handsome and honest hotshots and cousins living with their Uncle Jesse and sexy short-shorts-wearin' cousin Daisy on a farm in Hazzard County located somewhere in the Southern United States. While mostly interested in minding their own business (and driving at very high speeds in their souped-up Dodge Charger [nicknamed the General Lee]), the Duke boys sometimes fell prey to the greedy schemes of corrupt town leader Boss Hogg and his dimwitted flunky Sheriff Roscoe P. Coltrane. Sometimes serving as "Robin Hood" types (replete with bows and flaming arrows), the Dukes attempted to help out their friends and neighbors in distress and avoid being jailed by the unscrupulous Hogg.

General Lee General Lee Theme sung by Waylon Jennings Reunion Theme sung by Tom Wopat and John Schneider Closing theme Dixie Horn with rebel yell General Lee the car The General Lee was a 1969 Dodge Charger 440 with the 440-cubic-inch Magnum V8 engine Over 300 Dodge Chargers were used on the show because once a car was jumped it was not used again The shock of the impact completely destroyed the structural integrity of the car. At the end of filming of the TV show there were only 17 original General Lees remaining Warner Bros. authenticated all these, each car being given a Certificate of Authenticity of its participation in the TV Show. The General Lee was painted bright orange and had a confederate flag on the roof and the number '01' on the door. During the show's prime, the General Lee received over 30,000 pieces of fan mail monthly mainly asking for an autographed picture. The autographs being prints of the tire tread made by driving the car over the photograph. Boxes of lead weights were stored in the trunk during jumps to balance the weight of the engine in the front thus preventing the car from turning end to end in the air.

500-600 lbs were used for short jumps and 1,000 lbs were used for the longer jumps. At least 3 general Lee cars were used per episode On all the General Lees used for the show, the locking mechanism was disconnected from the foot-operated parking brake for the "Bootleggers' Turn", the 180-degree turns the Dukes made in practically every show to lose sheriff Rosco, and/or deputies Enos and Cletus. Where did the name General come from? The name "the General" was created by Gy Waldron as part of the original Dukes script. As the show evolved and the General took on the dimension of a character, his popularity kept pace with that of the show's other characters. The "Dixie" Horn is a 12-note musical horn of the "Way Down South in the Land of Cotton" The horn was added when the show's producers were driving down a Georgia highway to film the show's first episodes and heard the horn of a passing car. They chased the car down and convinced the driver to sell his musical horn.

They later found out that they paid 5 times what the horn was worth as the item was a stock item in most any auto accessory store. General Lee License Plate spin offs Enos Sonny Shroyer (Enos) got his own show called Enos debuting November 12, 1980 and lasted 1 season. Enos got a job with the Los Angeles Police Department where he fought big city crime with good ol' country driving and know how. The last episode aired September 19, 1981. Sonny came back to Hazzard for the 4th season. Cartoon In 1983, a cartoon spinoff was made with Coy & Vance as the Duke boys for 13 episodes and Bo & Luke for the last 7 episodes.

Reunion Movie In 1997, CBS aired a brand new reunion movie with most of the original cast Video Games Four video games based on the show were created: The Dukes of Hazzard (unreleased Atari 2600 prototype) The Dukes of Hazzard: Racing for Home (1999) The Dukes of Hazzard 2: Daisy Dukes It Out (2000) The Dukes of Hazzard: Return of the General Lee (2004) Movie Release Date: August 5th, 2005 Cousins Bo and Luke Duke, with the assistance of their sexy cousin Daisy and Uncle Jesse, must save the Duke family farm from destruction by the town's corrupt and evil commissioner Boss Hogg.

Coltrane.

Coloring Pages Daisy Duke trivia The show went into the top ten in the 2nd season creating a merchandising franchise and Waylon Jennings got a top 40 hit with the title theme. The show had two sets of Dukes cousins, two different deputies and four different sheriffs. 300 General Lees (and many more patrol cars!) were wrecked. The Boar's Nest was destroyed in several fist fights. Eleven country stars were caught in Boss's Celebrity Speed Trap (the Oak Ridge Boys were caught twice!). In 1997, CBS aired a brand new reunion movie. The 1st 5 episodes were filmed in Covington Georgia, where a real town was used. The Duke boys got the General Lee after it was seized from a couple of guys who used it as their getaway car in a bank robbery. Bo and Luke had been caught running moonshine and were put on probation. Therefore, they weren't allowed to have guns so they used bows and arrows instead. Luke Duke had served in the Marine Corps. before returning to Hazzard County. Catherine Bach's (Daisy) hot pants were so adored that they became known as "Daisy Dukes"!

John Schneider was only 18 years old when he first appeared as Bo Duke. Ben Jones (Cooter) went on to became a Congressman from Georgia until he was beat by Newt Gingrich. James Best (Roscoe) received his training as an actor from Julliard. When John Scheider and Tom Wopat refused to re-sign their contracts for the 5th season, there was a nationwide search for replacements. Bryon Cherry and Christopher Mayer were selected to appear as their cousins Coy and Vance Duke. When the dispute was over, John Schneider and Tom Wopat returned & everything was back to normal. The "P" in Roscoe P. Coltrane stands for "Purvis." The character Boss Hogg first appeared on a show called "Flo's Yellow Rose", a 1980 spin off series of the TV show Alice. Way back in the past, Uncle Jesse and Boss Hogg had been friends and made moonshine together. trivia 2005 Movie Jessica Simpson, who plays Daisy Duke, beat out Britney Spears, Mandy Moore and Jessica Biel for the role. Dolly Parton was offered the role of Pauline (according to Jessica Simpson) but turned it down.

Paul Walker and Ashton Kutcher were considered to play the Duke boys. Anthony Anderson was also considered to play Boss Hogg. Filming commenced on 8 November 2004, 26 years almost to the very day that shooting began for "One Armed Bandits," the first episode of the original TV series "The Dukes of Hazzard" (1979). Many of the jumps and car chase scenes were filmed on a Louisiana State University, Agricultural Research Station in Louisiana. The Station was leased to Warner Brothers during the off season for filming. One of the original cars from the '80s was used as a close-up car. It's a converted '68 Charger to look like a '69 and the original engine was replaced by a brand new Hemi engine. The car was used for a few close-up scenes and then sent back to Warner Bros. In 2005, Warner Bros settled a lawsuit filed by representatives of late film producer Robert Clark.

Lawyers for the producer claimed that when the studio bought the rights to Clark's film Moonrunners (1975) in order to make "The Dukes of Hazzard" TV series, they bought the TV rights only, not the feature film rights. The lawsuit attempted to hold up release of this film. The settlement amount was reportedly $17.5 million. 26 Dodge Chargers were used for the making of this film. Several 1968 and 1970 Dodge Chargers were converted to look like 1969 Chargers. Only one Hemi Charger was used, the rest were 440s, 383s, and a few small block 318s. Two Dodge Chargers were purchased for a total of $2, given that after the making of the film they would be sold back to the original owner for $1.25 a piece. The license plate on the General Lee is "CNH 320", just as it was in the television show. Synopsis In a place called Hazzard County, which existed 'somewhere in the South,' lived the Duke family.

Jesse Duke with his two nephews, Bo and Luke and his niece Daisy worked hard to run a farm, run moonshine (if they really had to. Bo and Luke were on probation after getting caught running shine) and out run the local Sheriff. And they looked pretty good doing it too. The boys drove a souped up 1969 Dodge Charger that was painted orange, with an 01 on the doors (which were welded shut) and a Confederate flag on the roof. The car was known as "General Lee," and every week, the boys drove fast and jumped long and far to get out of trouble ("Trouble" usually being getting out from under some trumped up charge or bad rap put on by the County Commissioner, "Boss" Jefferson Davis Hogg and his right hand man, Sheriff Rosco P. Coltrane.) The trumped up charges were usually done in an effort to keep the Dukes out of the way while Boss tried to turn a dishonest buck or two. The charges probably would have stuck, if Bo and Luke weren't so persistent in not wanting to be framed and if Rosco wasn't such a bumbling idiot sometimes.

All in all, a one hour episode basically consisted of a car chase, Rosco giggling "Khee, khee I love it, I love it!" Daisy smiling pretty and wearing her short-shorts while slinging brew at the Boar's Nest (the local watering hole), Enos, Cletus or Rosco wrecking their patrol cars (usually in very creative ways too), General Lee flying high or driving fast, a fist fight or two and everything being resolved in the end with Boss usually making a hefty donation to the orphanage when the Dukes found out of his illegal activities. General Lee | The Dukes of Hazzard Wiki | Fandom powered by Wikia The General Lee from The Dukes Of Hazzard TV Show Luke Welding the doors shut on the General Lee when they first found him In 1976, Bo was just getting out High School and Luke was getting out of the Marine Corps. Excited about one of Boss Hogg's road races they wanted this to be the year that they 'break the streak' and win the race. They had the souped up engine, now they just neeed the car. Together they buy an old black Dodge Charger at a junk yard in Capitol City.

They bring the car back to Hazzard County Garage , where Cooter helps them drop the engine in and restore it. Cooter also supplied the unique orange paint (it was all that he had, in a quantity sufficient enough to paint a car with). It was orange with a rebel flag painted on the roof, the words "GENERAL LEE" over each side window, and the number "01" on each door. In the first episode ("One Armed Bandits"), a Confederate Flag crossed with a checkered racing flag can be seen behind the rear window. The name "GENERAL LEE" refers to the Confederate General Robert E. Lee. Since it was built as a race car, a rollbar was installed, the doors were welded shut, and the windows were always left open for easy access in and out of the car. Throughout the run of the show, an estimated 309 (the "LEE 1" website says 321) General Lees were used. At least 23 are still known to exist in various states of repair. A replica was owned by John Schneider (Bo), known as "Bo's General Lee".

In 2008 Schneider sold "Bo's General Lee" at the Barrett-Jackson automobile auction for $450,000. The show also used 1968 Chargers (which shared the same body design) by changing the grille and taillight panel to the 1969 style, and removing the round side marker lights. These Chargers performed many record-breaking jumps throughout the show, almost all of them resulting in a completely destroyed car. The Duke boys had added a custom air horn to the General which played the first 12 notes of the song Dixie . Warner Brothers purchased several Chargers for stunts, as they generally destroyed at least one or two cars per episode. By the end of the show's sixth season, the Chargers were becoming harder to find, and more expensive, so the producers used radio-controlled miniatures or recycled stock jump footage. The third episode, "Mary Kaye's Baby", is the only episode of the entire series' run (barring the opening and closing credits) that the General Lee does not appear in.

In that episode, Bo and Luke drove around in a blue 1975 Plymouth Fury that they borrowed from Cooter (which unbenownst to them he'd loaded with moonshine to deliver for Boss Hogg, a slip-up that could have wrecked their probation) that Luke later blew up with a stick of dynamite during a duel with some mobsters. Although the exact number of General Lees used varies from different sources, according to Ben Jones ( Cooter ), as well as builders involved with the show, 256 General Lees were used during filming. Others claim about 321 were used. Approximately 23 still exist today in various states of repair. On average, more than one General Lee was used per episode. When filming a jump, anywhere from 500 to 1,000 pounds of sand bags or concrete ballast was placed in the trunk to prevent the car from nose diving. Later in the series, the mechanics would raise the front end of the car to keep it from scraping against the ramp upon impact, which would cause a considerable decrease in speed. Stunt drivers report enjoying the flights but hating the landings.

Despite the ballast, the landing attitude of the car was somewhat unpredictable, resulting in moderate to extremely violent forces (on a DVD player, using slower playback settings will reveal that on many of the jumps, the cars' frames bent upon impact.) All cars used in large jumps were immediately retired due to structural damage. From 1979 to 1985, both 1968 and 1969 model year Chargers were sourced and converted to General Lee specifications. Despite popular belief, no 1970 models were used, according to all builders involved over the years. Also, a list containing a Vehicle Identification Number for each Charger used as a General Lee was given to Wayne Wooten of the Dodge Charger Registry; no 1970 models were listed. Obtaining cars was not an issue until later years. By that time, the car was the star of the show and Warner Brothers moved building of the cars in house to keep the cars consistent in appearance.

Later in the show's run, when it became too hard and/or expensive to continue procuring more Chargers, the producers started using more jump footage from previous episodes (something that had only been done sparingly in earlier seasons), and in the final season, according to various interviews and segments on the DVD releases, radio-controlled miniatures were occasionally used to the chagrin of several cast members. The first five episodes of the show were filmed in the Georgia towns of Covington and Conyers during November and December 1978. For the Georgia episodes, six Dodge Chargers were purchased. The first General Lees were built by Warner Brothers and shipped to Georgia where picture car coordinator John Marendi labeled the first 3 cars LEE 1, LEE 2, and LEE 3 in no particular order for film editing purposes. LEE 1 was a second unit car with a full rollcage. It was powered by a 383 V8 and was equipped with air conditioning. It was originally painted Code T3 Light Bronze Metallic with tan interior, had a three speaker dash, and chrome rocker trim. After the now-famous jump over Rosco P.

Coltrane 's police cruiser in front of Seney Hall at Oxford College (performed by stuntman Craig Baxley), it was stripped of its front seats and 1969 grille and taillight panel. LEE 1 was used once more as the Richard Petty tire test car in the fourth episode Repo Men, and afterwards was retired to a junkyard in Georgia. It was later bought and miraculously restored to its original condition. LEE 2 was also a 2nd unit car with a full rollcage and tan interior. It was used for the opening scene in One Armed Bandits. In this scene, Bo and Luke were chasing Rosco's police cruiser after Cooter had stolen it. During this chase, LEE 2 is shown making a jump (the second that Baxley performed). LEE 3 was the first unit close-up car and the second General Lee built by Warner Brothers, and can be seen in the first publicity photos for the series. It was an R/T SE (Special Edition) model. It was powered by a 440 Magnum V8 and also had A/C with power windows and a woodgrain dash.

This car had a tan interior and a removable roll bar that allowed installation of a camera for in-car shots. This car was painted 1975 Corvette Flame Red with a special basecoat. The basecoat was used after realizing that Lee1's paint appeared blotchy because it was applied direct over factory paint. Eventually the first three General Lees started to show visible damage, so the crew had to start making more. The first General Lee built in Georgia was a 1968 Charger converted to look like a 1969. The taillight panel, front grille, and front seats were taken from LEE 1. The paint used on these cars was Chrysler EV2, aka Hemi Orange. Interiors not originally tan were sprayed with SEM brand "Saddle tan" vinyl dye. The first three Georgia Lees had a set of crossed flags (a Confederate Flag and checkered flag) on the panel between the rear window and trunk lid. Although four sets were created, only three were used. They were discontinued due to difficulty with continuity of the General Lee's graphics, making it one less thing to be used. The three surviving cars went back to California and had the crossed flags removed upon reconditioning.

The wheels on all Lees throughout the entire series were 14" x 7" American Racing Vectors rims and were mounted on P235/70R14 B.F. Goodrich Radial T/A tires, with the blackwall side facing out. The Veluzat era Andre and Renaud Veluzat built General Lees for WB from the 2nd season into the 4th season. Viewers can also see two "Georgia" cars used often up into the early second season. LEE 3 and a specially caged car never appearing (but built) in Georgia were used heavily in early California episodes. The Veluzats were somewhat inconsistent in how they built the cars, so this is when the most variations from specification are found. The paint was GM code 70, Flame Red,(still orange, just the name of the color) but there does appear to be some variance here: interiors were mostly dyed brown and occasionally SEM Saddle Tan. According to some sources, the Veluzats charged WB $250 a week per car for rental and a lump sum of $2000 to $3000 upon destruction of the vehicles; this included police cars as well.

WB mechanics had to maintain the cars at company expense. The money generated by building General Lees financed the Veluzat family project of restoring Gene Autry's Melody Ranch; it had burned in the 1960s. This ranch is where many classic Western flims were shot as well as the television series Gunsmoke. Today, it is a fully-functional movie ranch where shows like HBO's Deadwood (TV series are filmed. The Warner Brothers. era By 1983, Warner Brothers turned total control of building General Lees to a man named Ken Fritz because the Valuzets were caught selling wrecked cars that had received cosmetic repairs and forged VINs. Fritz didn't have the job long before he too was fired and at this point Warner Brothers moved full production in-house. The General Lee was now the highlight of the series, and WB received enormous amounts of Lee-specific fan mail that nit-picked the inconsistencies of the cars. Because of General Lee's fame, WB had their staff mechanics build the cars to a specific appearance, even underneath. All graphics had to meet specifications, all side markers and rocker panel chrome trim were removed; and roll bars and push bars had to meet an exact specification.

However, some changes were made before the specifications were laid-out: the push bar became wider, the interior became a light beige color, and the roll bars were covered in a black foam padding. During this period, the only true way for fans to distinguish the 1968 conversions from the 1969 originals is by the shape of the dashpad. As the WB era rolled on, finding the cars became an issue: Piper Cubs were hired to search for 1968 and 1969 Chargers amongst the populace; the jumped cars were now no longer scrapped after one jump if deemed salvageable, and were repaired and used until they could no longer function; and, as last resort, miniature radio-controlled models were also brought in toward the end of the series to replace most of the big jump stunts, thereby saving more cars - something that proved unpopular with many episode directors (including Tom Wopat) who felt that the models looked too fake. By this time, there was also a rivalry for "TV's greatest car" with the Knight Rider series, leading to the models being used more and more for greater jumps to try and out-do that series.

Taking full control also saved some money as now WB had the ability to buy cars, recondition them, and use them without paying daily rental fees. The General Lee from The Dukes Of Hazzard Motion Picture At the beginning of the movie, the General was a faded orange with a hand-painted "01" on the doors, black steel wheels, standard front bumper, and no Confederate flag. Midway through the film, Cooter repairs the General after it's vandalized by Boss Hogg's hirelings. He repaints it a bright orange and adds the well-known trademarks (American Racing "Vector" 10-spoke "turbine" wheels, octagonal "01", black grille guard, Confederate flag on the roof, "Dixie" horn, and "General Lee" above the door window openings). In an era of Political Correctness, the Confederate flag on the roof is made an object of conflict in the movie on two occasions. In the first occasion, the Dukes are stuck in an Atlanta traffic jam.

During this time passing drivers make remarks towards them that alternate between cheering the South and condemning them as practicing racism, leaving the Duke boys puzzled; the last to comment says, "Nice roof, redneck!..join the rest of us in the twenty-first century?!" and flips them the bird. Mystified, Bo and Luke slide out of the windows so they could sit on the windowsill to look at the roof and, to their horror, discover the flag. In the second incident, the Dukes wind up with coaldust on their faces, giving them the appearance of driving around in blackface; they stop at a traffic light and some African American youths notice this and the Confederate flag on the General. The youths come to the conclusion that the Dukes are making a racist statement and are about to give them a physical opinion of their roof graphic and facial appearance. Just as the youths were about to assault Bo and Luke, two black police officers show up and throw the Dukes in jail. The movie General not only flies and makes controlled landings, but also drifts with the aid of professional drifter Rhys Millen. During jump scenes, some stunt cars were jumped under their own power by stunt drivers; others had their engines and transmissions removed.

The engineless Chargers were then launched without drivers by a gas-driven catapult similar in principle to those used on aircraft carriers. Approximately twenty-four 1968 to 1970 Chargers were used in the film. Unlike the TV show era Lees, the movie cars used aftermarket graphic kits. The movie gave them new credibility and are no longer considered to be an inaccurate choice. Otherwise, except for the white letters on the Goodrich Radial T/A tires, the exterior of the movie's "close-up" General Lees varied little from the TV show cars. The paint was Big Bad Orange (an American Motors Corporation color) rather than Corvette Flame Red; the interior headliner was black instead of tan, an actual roll cage was used; a 3-spoke Grant wood-trimmed steering wheel replaced the standard wheel, an AM/FM stereo radio with Compact Disc player was installed in the dashboard; and the interiors were a custom color vinyl fabric made to look like the dye/paint used in the later eras of the TV show. One still can differentiate the '68 Chargers by looking at the dash pad, but now 1970 Chargers were thrown in the mix.

Overall the cars resembled an average General Lee clone car from the late 1990s to early 2000s, but the overall flavor of the General Lee is still obvious.

Many of the cars needed extensive restoration and most had been cut up to allow for inside camera views. Two of the Lees (a 1969 R/T SE and a 1970 that was converted to a 1969) were temporarily sold to Warner Brothers by Everett "J.R." Barton of Wichita, Kansas. The 1970 Charger was used to make the freeway jump during the police chase after Bo and Luke escaped from their Atlanta Police Department escorts. In the outtakes featured on the DVD release, one other car is seen making a nose dive onto the freeway and going into the guard rail. That car DID NOT make it into the final cut of the movie. Barton's car makes a nearly perfect landing, but then it veers off to the left into the center divider wall. This particular General Lee is once again in running condition and moving under its own power. It still wears its battle scars and can be seen at auto shows in the Midwest.

The 1969 model was said to have been used in one of the field driving scenes by the transportation director, because the crew needed a car that was already distresed looking, and since it would be shot from the rear only, it could be incorporated with other scenes in the movie. Both cars were returned to Barton. The 1969 remained in its original condition after filming wrapped, with the exception of parts that were swapped to and from other General Lees. Engines Engines in the TV show General Lees varied. 318, 383, and 440 CID V8s were used. However, the close-up Lees were powered by 383s. The special purpose built "ski car" (the car that was used for stunts involving driving on the left or right side wheels with the opposite side wheels in the air) had a 318, as it was lighter weight. Most of the workhorse stunt cars had 318s and 440s. The stunt drivers tended to prefer 440s (a higher performance engine) for jumps, so 440 powered stunt Lees were often saved for the higher and longer jumps.

Also, though early sound effects lead many people to believe otherwise, only a handful of Chargers had manual transmissions. Most had 727 TorqueFlite automatic transmissions. Also, in The Dukes of Hazzard motion picture, Cooter replaced the 383 with a 426 Hemi. Exit and entry The General Lee, except in the beginning of the movie, does not have opening doors. In the TV series, it is explained that racing cars have their doors welded shut for safety reasons. In the movie, the car has been repaired after being trashed, but the doors could not be fixed fast enough. The driver and passenger must climb in through the window (as in NASCAR). For a running entry, Bo and Luke also slide over the hood rather than walk around the front of the car. However, in the prequel The Dukes of Hazzard: The Beginning , the left door was welded shut while the right one was not. Exhaust systems Exhaust systems were basic. Some had glasspack mufflers, but most had standard exhausts with the pipe cut just before the rear end. The exhaust sound that can be heard on most of the California era episode General Lees is from a Thrush glasspack.

The sounds came from the exhaust systems fitted to the close-up cars. The parts used were Blackjack headers, dual exhausts, and the aforementioned Thrush mufflers. However, the sounds were dubbed in after the scene was filmed. Tires Tires used on the General Lees were mainly supplied by Winston. The tire model was the Winston Winner. Some BF Goodriches were noted as being used from time to time, but Winston Winners were the main tires used on these vehicles, primarily because Winstons had the best warranty. When the Lees performed their massive stunts, they would take quite a toll on the tires. Winston's warranty stipulated that if ANYTHING happened to the tires, they were replaced free of charge. For the Winston and BF Goodrich tires, the most common size was P235/70R14 and/or P235/70R15. Salvaged LEE 1 LEE 1 was salvaged out of a Georgia junkyard in August 2001 by Travis Bell, president of the North American General Lee Fan Club, and Gary Schneider. The car has since been fully restored to its original screen condition.

It was officially unveiled to the public November 11, 2006 with John Schneider behind the wheel. Images The Dukes of Hazzard The Dukes of Hazzard Image credit Lee, is one of the very popular legendary cars the world has seen. This 1969 Dodge charger has been extensively used in the television series The Dukes of Hazzard and later in a movie with the same name and based on the same story. The car is well known for its chases and stunts, more precisely its high jumps which took place in almost every episode of the television series. The eyes of the fans stuck to the television screen to watch the crazy escapades of the cousins Bo and Luke Duke, Jesse and Daisy duke. It can be said that The General Lee has been the desire of every single young boy in that era. The name of the car refers to the Confederate General Robert E. Lee and the roof of the car bears a Confederate naval jack and the horn is quite unique which plays the first line of the song Dixie. Basically there is a long story behind the reason of naming the car as General Lee. The show Dukes of Hazzard was based on a movie named Moonrunners.

There was a car in the movie known as Traveller, which, in turn, was the name of the horse of General Robert E. Lee during the Civil War. In the Show, The Dukes of Hazzard, the name or the car was changed into The General Lee which was quite catchier. The name was quite widespread throughout the globe for the good reputation of the show and many Dodge Chargers had been painted orange in honor of the high flying car driven by the two crazy cousins. For a brief history about Robert E. Lee, it can be said that he was one of a very successful military officer who commanded the Confederate Army of Northern Virginia during the American Civil War. He was also the Superintendent of the United States Military Academy. During the declaration of the secession of Virginia from the Union in April 1861, Robert E. Lee followed his home state, keeping aside the personal desire of the intactness of the Union and the great offer of President Abraham Lincoln to command the Union Army. His esteem grew all over the Continent, even in the North, principally after his death in 1870. He is an iconic figure of the American military leadership and undoubtedly one of the greatest military generals that the world has seen.

Getting back to the car, the number of cars used in the show was as much as nearly 256, some also claim that the number was as much as 321. They differed from sources and builders involved. On average, more than one General Lee has been used up per show. During the filming of a jump, sand Image Credit bags or concrete ballasts of 500 to 1000 pounds were placed in the trunk to prevent nosing over of the vehicle. According to the report of the stunt drivers, they enjoyed the flight much but the landing was harsh. Despite the ballasts, it was quite impossible to predict the landing attitude of the car which results in moderate to extreme violent forces, depending on the nature of the landing. A series of mechanics was provided at the front end of the car to avoid scrapping the vehicle against the ramp and slowing its speed, which acted as a cushion for the drivers upon landing. Most of the cars bent upon impact of the high jumps. The cars used in the large jumps were retired immediately for the heavy structural damages they face. According to many, still there are 17 General Lees which exist in different stages of repair.

The models of the cars were built effectively to give more popularity to the vehicle. Even in later years, the 1968 and 1969 model-year chargers were converted according to the specifications of The General Lee. Obtaining cars became quite problematic during the later years when Warner Brothers moved building of the cars in house in favor of keeping the appearance of the cars consistent. At a later stage of the show, it became quite expensive to produce more chargers. This resulted in using previous jump footages in many other episodes and later on radio controlled miniatures took the place during the final season. The engines used in the General Lee during the television series varied between 318, 383 and 440 CID V8s big blocks. However the specially purposed Ski Car which was used for driving on the left side or right side wheels with the opposite wheels in air had a 318 to decrease its overall weight. The Image Credit Stunt drivers preferred 440s for jumps as the engine performance was higher. Hence these Lees are saved for higher and longer jumps.

Most of the cars had 727 TorqueFlite automatic transmissions; it’s the sound effect which made them muscular in television. The General Lee was not provided with opening doors. Despite the fact that the doors of the racing cars are welded shut, in the series, this also added entertainment to the viewers when Uncle Jesse had to squeeze through the window. The exhaust system of the car were basic, with the standard exhausts with pipe cut before the rear end, and some are provided with glasspack mufflers. The Thrush brand glasspack gave a good deal of exhaust sound to the California-era episode of the show which gave an added attraction to the car. The sounds of the close up cars were produced by the Blackjack brand headers, the Thrush mufflers and the Dual exhausts. However after the scenes were filmed, the sounds were dubbed. Coming to the tires, there has been a great variety of tires used for the General Lees among which B.F. Goodrich Radial T/A was the best know make and model. The common sizes were P235/70R14 and P235/70R15. In some shoots, Winston Winners were also used.

Even today the 1969 orange Dodge Charger, Legendary General Lee, have a great craze throughout the globe to those who enjoyed seeing the large jumps and the escapes of the crazy cousins, and dream of having such a tough ride. Rebukes of Hazzard : snopes.com Rebukes of Hazzard Rebukes of Hazzard While the TV Land cable channel has pulled 'The Dukes of Hazzard' from their lineup, the show itself has not been "banned from television." - - NEWS: While the TV Land cable channel has pulled The Dukes of Hazzard from their lineup, the show itself has not been "banned from television." Amid the ongoing national debate in America over the display of the Confederate flag, the TV Land cable/satellite channel confirmed they would no longer be airing reruns of the 1980s television series The Dukes of Hazzard — a show about the the adventures of cousins Bo Duke and Luke Duke, who live on a family farm in fictional Hazzard County, Georgia, and drive around in a customized Dodge Charger called the "General Lee" that bears an image of a Confederate flag on its roof.

Separately, retailers including Amazon.com and Walmart announced individual decisions to discontinue the sale of the Confederate flags and related merchandise (incorrectly described some rumors to be the result of a government mandate ). Many consumers were left believing that the Confederate flag had now been "banned" in the retail and entertainment worlds, rather than being the focus of individual retailer and broadcaster decisions to discontinue its sale or display. On 1 July 2015, obtained ABC News confirmation from TV Land that the The Dukes of Hazzard had been "removed" from the channel's schedule, adding that the network did not issue a statement about the decision: A week after Warner Bros. announced it would no longer sanction the manufacturing of "Dukes of Hazzard" merchandise featuring the flag, TV Land announced it's pulling reruns of the 1980s’ TV series featuring John Schneider and Tom Wopat as Bo and Luke Duke in fictional Hazzard County, Georgia. In a statement to ABC News, the network confirmed that the show had been "removed" from its schedule, while declining to comment further.

On 23 June 2015, Ben Jones (who depicted mechanic Cooter Davenport on the show) published a statement to Facebook to protest recent policies targeting the Confederate flag: I THINK ALL OF HAZZARD NATION UNDERSTANDS THAT THE CONFEDERATE BATTLE FLAG IS THE SYMBOL THAT REPRESENTS THE INDOMITABLE SPIRIT OF INDEPENDENCE WHICH KEEPS US “MAKIN’ OUR WAY THE ONLY WAY WE KNOW HOW.” THAT FLAG ON TOP OF THE GENERAL LEE MADE A STATEMENT THAT THE VALUES OF THE RURAL SOUTH WERE THE VALUES OF COURAGE AND FAMILY AND GOOD TIMES. OUR BELOVED SYMBOL IS NOW BEING ATTACKED IN A WAVE OF POLITICAL CORRECTNESS THAT IS UNPRECEDENTED IN OUR NATION OF FREE SPEECH AND FREE EXPRESSION. ACTIVISTS AND POLITICIANS ARE VILLIFYING SOUTHERN CULTURE AND OUR HERITAGE AS BEING BIGOTED AND RACIST. WE KNOW THAT THIS IS NOT THE CASE. AND WE KNOW THAT IN HAZZARD COUNTY THERE WAS NEVER ANY RACISM.

Dukes of Hazzard creator Gy Waldron said in a 2001 documentary that the use of the Confederate flag in the show was "done very innocently": “Painting the Confederate flag on the roof of the car was done very innocently, because in the ’50s and ’60s it was very common to find Confederate flags painted on cars. There was never a political statement to be made by it. It was just part of the tradition. And once we had put it in there I saw no reason to bow to any pressure groups. We’re not making any statement regarding slavery or post-slavery or integration or anything like that.” John Schneider, who played Bo Duke in the show, said in that same documentary that "It amazes me that anyone could take offense to the General Lee. If there was ever a non-racist family, it was the Dukes of Hazzard." Schneider told the Hollywood Reporter in July 2015 that: "The Dukes of Hazzard was and is no more a show seated in racism than Breaking Bad was a show seated in reality," Schneider [said].

Schneider says his residuals from the show “have never been much to write home about,” but he would like the show to persist because of the old-fashioned values it promotes, such as honesty, courage, chivalry, rebelliousness and the like. Those who seek to malign the show because the famous car it featured had a Confederate flag painted on the roof are missing the point, he says. “I am saddened that one angry and misguided individual can cause one of the most beloved television shows in the history of the medium to suddenly be seen in this light,” Schneider said. “Are people who grew up watching the show now suddenly racists? Will they have to go through a detox and a 12-step program to kick their Dukes habit? ‘Hi... My name is John. I'm a Dukesoholic.’” As of 1 July 2015, The Dukes of Hazzard remained on the schedule of the CMT cable/satellite channel.

By Stavy34 on June 24, 2011 Format: DVD I grew up with and was a fan of the original television series so I gave this movie a try, and was incredibly disappointed. If it ain't broke don't fix it! "The Dukes of Hazzard Movie" is not good enough to be called bad. Every thing about this movie is horendous, the character portrayal, the storyline, the affects. My advice to anyone thinking about getting this movie is not to waste your time or money. Trust me is isn't worth it. By samspennell on September 12, 2015 Format: Amazon Video|Verified Purchase Let me be clear: I'm giving this 2.5 stars instead of 3. This is the story of Bo and Luke Duke, and yet another one of their misadventures running into Boss Hogg.

You really need to see the original TV series to get this movie, but that's ok. We loved this show when I was a kid in the '80s, but I have to say that this movie barely captures any of what made the TV show great. The Duke boys are always running afoul of the law, but in a very innocent and justified way. They are moonshiners, and the only law enforcement out there to stop them is the far more corrupt Boss Hogg, and his band of crooked officers. This is another episode of JD Hogg trying to catch them, but Hogg is pulling yet another scam in which he seizes all of the farmland in a certain area of Hazzard County, including the Duke boys' farm. Why is he seizing all of this land? That's the mystery. That is such a cool, tight plot that sounds so great, and plots like this were so great when this was a TV show, but like I said above, this movie fumbles most of the things that were handed to it by the TV show.

The whole premise of the TV show was so cool as well: the Dukes were a couple of bad boy "Robin Hood" types that were on a rebellious, righteous crusade that allowed them to have blistering car chases and to fire off exploding arrows. They were rebellious, yet doing the right thing, and every episode plot was really tight and had a vivid and succinct feel to it. It had a storytelling that has been lost by 2015. Every TV show just feels sensationalist and CGI-ish by 2015, with bland characters and thin plot lines. However, this movie adaptation largely falls flat. It wasn't a miserable failure, it's just that it under impressed. Seann William Scott and Johnny Knoxville were way too bland in their roles. They didn't seem to know what they were doing in this movie. They were kind of empty suits and added no flair or flavor whatsoever to their characters. The original actors had a seriously clean cut and principled feel to them, so that it really felt like they were the good guys. Perhaps the originals could have been a shade grittier, but Knoxville and Scott just sort of can't act, and are too unscrupulous.

They are just not likable enough. I think the director just had a pretty stupid idea when he said "Hey, let's get Stiffler and Jackass together to play the Duke boys!" It seemed like they just wanted to cram in two A-list (or actually B-list) stars who had crazy energy, but they didn't really get the Duke brothers' dynamic. This movie also failed to capture the warmth and everything cool about the South, although the original series fell a little bit flat in that area too. This movie was worse, though. The only good things about this movie were the spot on narration and the music. The plot was pretty good too, but the dialogue that was supposed to hold it together was stupid and horrendous. There are moments in this movie that pretty much feel like a "B" movie. This movie also verged on being the steroidy, stupid frat boy humor that has plagued our entertainment since the '90s. While the original TV series had some ridiculous characters, this movie missed the mark, and had some stupid moments that were physically impossible, and it kind of insulted your intelligence. There is a fight scene in there with Bo Duke wearing a helmet that comes to mind.

Remaking a classic TV show has a steep slope to it. If you do a great job, like with "The A Team," it can be petty decent and surprisingly cool and fun. If you swing and miss, though, it can be pretty dismal and you can ruin a classic TV show. Fans will be pretty disgusted. Although this movie wasn't that horrible, it was pretty much a disappointment. Anyways, this movie largely misses the mark. 2.5 stars. By H. P. on November 3, 2011 Format: DVD|Verified Purchase I'll start out by saying I'm not a purist. But if you're going to take something as ain't-broken as the Dukes of Hazzard, you daggum well better know what you're doing when you try to fix it. This movie has a lot of changes. Some work well and some don't, but the end product isn't nearly as good as the source material. It is a lot of fun if you don't think too hard about it. Any Dukes of Hazzard film is going to live or die by its car chases and especially the jumps. Through most of the film they do not disappoint.

The jump onto the highway in Atlanta is one of the greatest jumps I've ever seen on the screen. They just about ruin it all, though, with the last jump, a CGI atrocity. When will filmmakers learn that just because it can be done in CGI doesn't mean it won't look like trash? From the DVD extras, they actually did the real jump (with dummies), then ruined it with CGI. And they planned to do the same with the rest of the jumps, but those looked so great even their own foolishness wouldn't let them ruin them. A lot of the other car stunts are truly special. The filmmakers made some strange choices in adaptation. The Dukes and their allies replace Boss Hogg and Roscoe P. Coltrane as the comic foils, but neither Hogg nor Roscoe (M.C. Gainey isn't half as scary as he was in Justified) can manage to be terribly menacing. The movie (especially the unrated version) is also quite risqué. I have no philosophical disagreement with that, but let's be honest--the Dukes don't need to go lowest common denominator to entertain.

I guess the thinking was that the old Dukes fans have all grown up, but the old Dukes formula would always be beloved by kids (and those of us that still like to pretend we're kids from time to time). Jessica Simpson tries hard, and fails, to look as good as Catherine Bach, but I'm not complaining. Willie Nelson as Uncle Jesse just fires off one-liners. The soundtrack is mostly southern rock mainstays, and it's a downright joy for country boy's when the General Lee fires up and Black Betty cranks up. Broken Lizard (of Super Troopers fame) eventually took over production. They left many a hat tip to their marquee production. Governor Jessman (Lynda Carter), the fast food cashier, and the Vermont state troopers from Super Troopers all make appearances. There is also an allusion to the side-splitting opening scene. DVD extras include: Daisy Dukes: the short short shorts, the General Lee lives, how to launch a muscle car 175 feet in 4 seconds, the hazards of Dukes, the These Boots are Made for Walking music video, additional scenes, unrated additional scenes, bloopers, unrated bloopers, and the theatrical trailer.

Given the choice between this version (the Unrated one) and the theatrical version, I would prefer the latter. The differences are across-the-board more risqué, but less funny. By J. Young on December 15, 2005 Format: DVD I do not think I would have paid admission to the theater for me and my buddies to see this film, but it is definately worth buying. I too liked the original series since I grew up with it. Would I want a film made today be exactley like that? Absolutely not! Another reviewer said it best. These remakes are made for today's times. I like seeing remakes with what life is like today. A midless movie? Yes. There is nothing wrong with a mindless movie once in awhile to take you away from the world for a bit and this movie can do just that.

The Dukes of Hazzard (1979 – 1985) - The Dukes of Hazzard The Dukes of Hazzard (1979 – 1985) 27 Feb , 2009 No Comments Share Plot Summary The television series The Dukes of Hazzard followed Bo and Luke Duke, two cousins living in an unincorporated area of the fictional Hazzard County, Georgia, racing around in their modified 1969 Dodge Charger, The General Lee, evading corrupt county commissioner Boss Hogg and his inept county sheriff Rosco P. Coltrane. Bo and Luke had been sentenced to probation for illegal transportation of moonshine – Jesse made a plea bargain to stop brewing moonshine in return for the boys to forgo jail time and instead be placed on probation.

As a result, Bo and Luke were not allowed to carry firearms (they often used compound bows) or leave Hazzard County (although the exact details of their probation terms varied from episode to episode; sometimes it was implied that they would be jailed for merely crossing the county line; on other occasions, it was shown that they may leave Hazzard as long as they were back within a certain time limit). Corrupt politician Boss Hogg, who either ran or had fingers in just about everything in Hazzard County (and whose exact powers, much like the terms of the Duke boys’ probation, often varied in different episodes) was forever angry with the Dukes, in particular Bo and Luke, for eternally foiling his crooked scams and was always looking for ways to get them out of the picture so his plots had a chance of succeeding. Many episodes revolved around Boss trying to engage in an illegal scheme with criminal associates. Some of these were get-rich-quick schemes, though many others affected the financial security of the Duke farm, which Boss had long wanted to acquire for nefarious reasons.

Other times, Boss hired known criminals from out of town to do his dirty work for him, and often tried to frame Bo and Luke for various crimes such as bank robbery (thus resulting in imprisonment and allowing Boss easily to acquire the Duke farm). Bo and Luke always seemed to stumble over Boss’ latest scheme, sometimes by curiosity, and often by sheer luck, and put it out of business. Due to their fundamentally good natures, the Dukes often wound up helping out Boss Hogg, albeit begrudgingly. More than once Boss was targeted by former associates who were either seeking revenge or had turned against him after a scheme unraveled in any number of ways: Boss’ greedy nature, Rosco’s bumbling, the criminals simply outsmarting the two or their consciences came to the surface. Sometimes criminals who were even more crooked and ruthless than Boss came to town. Sheriff Rosco also found himself in trouble more than once. On such occasions, Bo and Luke usually had to rescue their adversaries as an inevitable precursor to defeating the bad guys; these instances became more regular as the series went on. A special thanks for the above content to Wikipedia.

Full Cast Bios Beaureguard “Bo” Duke (John Schneider) Quite a bit younger than Luke. Bo was an ex-stock car test driver and did all the fancy jumps in the General. No one in Hazzard could out-run the General when Bo was driving. If there was something in Hazzard that looked like it could be jumped, Bo would jump it without hardly a second thought. He even jumped a 32 car pile up for a stunt show. (Did any of you notice that the General used to do that stunt had black bucket seats, instead of the usual tan bench, and had extra roll bars added to it, not to mention the racing seat-belts.) Carnival of the trills was the show that he did the 32 car jump Bo didn’t come up with as many ideas as Luke did, but he always did his part when it came to getting the boys out of trouble. Bo was always on the lookout for pretty girls which got them into trouble a few times too. Lucas K. “Luke” Duke (Tom Wopat) Luke was the cooler, more rational Duke cousin.

Luke didn’t get to drive the General all that much, but when he did, he often preluded it with his famous hood slide. Luke was an ex-Merchant Marine and always got the Dukes out of all the trouble Bo got them into. Luke was the one who did all the crazy stunts, like jumping onto moving vehicles. It helped to have Marine training in Hazzard. As Luke would slide across the hood, Bo would be starting up the engine and throwing it into gear for a faster getaway. He and Bo used to be in the family business of runnin’ shine, a tradition that was started 50 years be fore there was a U.S.of A., until they messed that up by getting caught. Now all they do is drive around all day in the General. Daisy Duke (Catherine Bach) Daisy was the hottest girl in town. Boss Hogg got her to waitress at The Boar’s Nest in exchange for lending the Dukes the money to buy a car (which turned out to be a big mistake for him!) and enter it in his race. In the beginning she had a 1972 yellow Plymoth Roadrunner until her cousins drove it off a cliff.

She then got her famous jeep Dixie, which had a gold eagle painted on the hood. Daisy hated it when the boys treated her like a helpless girl, she always wanted to join in all the action, and often did help get the boys out of trouble. Uncle Jesse Duke (Denver Pyle) The Duke patriarch. He always looked out for his family and often let his pride get in the way of his better judgement. Uncle Jesse never broke his word unless it was to get his boys out of trouble (which happened a little too much). Back in the days when he ran moonshine with Boss Hogg in The Ridge Runner Association he got to drive his black Midnight Runner, but now he just drives a rusted old Ford Pickup. Whenever he asked Boss for a favor he said something along the lines of “J.D., in all my years I ain’t never asked you for anything, but now I need a favor from you.” And it always worked. Uncle Jesse had a way with words and always got what he wanted. He was wise too. Jefferson Davis Boss Hogg (Sorrell Booke) The Dukes’ worst nightmare.

All Boss wanted to do was to eat, eat, and eat some more, while becoming the richest man in the world. Boss would come up with every way possible to make money and take all the mortgages his bank holds…especially, the Duke Farm, but for some odd reason the Dukes always helped him out when he was in trouble. Boss had a white 1970 Cadillac with longhorn’s on the front. Although he rarely drove it himself, everyone knew when that car showed up, trouble wasn’t far behind. Since Boss owned the law in Hazzard, he never got into any trouble with all the schemes he pulled. Sheriff Rosco P. Coltrane (James Best) The local law in Hazzard. He was a straight-as-an-arrow cop for 30 years, but he didn’t get his pension, so he turned crooked. Now, he does everything and anything for Boss Hogg. Day in and day out he would find anyway possible to give someone in Hazzard a ticket. Flash (A Basset Hound) Rosco got her from a police gazette magazine, and he loved this dog more than anything else in the world, even money!

Supposedly she could smell a crook a mile away. I guess that’s why she hated Boss so much. She like the Duke boys though. Deputy Enos Straitt (Sonny Shroyer) The only lawful lawman in Hazzard. Although he always did what Boss or Rosco told him to, he never liked it. He was hopelessly in love with Daisy and everyone knew it. He even almost married her near the end but he chickened out. Enos left during the third season to join the police out in California and start his own show, but returned after it went down the drain. Cooter Davenport (Ben Jones) Cooter was a mechanical genius. He could fix anything that was handed to him. Cooter was the dukes best friend he would fix the general and loan them his truck. Lulu Hogg (Peggy Rhea) Boss’s big wife and Rosco’s older sister. She had to have her way or ELSE….. Boss would be in big trouble! Deputy Cletus Hogg (Rick Hurst) He was Boss Hogg’s cousin and Enos’s replacement when he left for California. He had a crush on Daisy but she never liked him.

Cletus also was only 1/8 Hogg so he didn’t mind helping the dukes boys escape from Rosco a time or two. Coy Duke (Byron Cherry) Another Duke cousin. He was Bo’s pathetic replacement for the forth season (the only low point in Duke history) when Bo and Luke went to race in the Nascar circuit professionally. He had the same past as Bo; an ex stock car test driver, but was so lame. He couldn’t come up with a plan to save his life. Neither Coy or Vance could drive or anything (the reason that Bo and Luke left for a little while was because of not being paid enough) Vance Duke (Christopher Mayer) Luke’s replacement and another cousin. Not as bad as Coy was, but bad enough. Like Coy, he was given the same background as Luke; an ex merchant marine. He didn’t do as many crazy stunts as Luke, but he came up with as many plans. Coy and Vance weren’t on probation so Boss hated that but the dukes never used guns just there bows. Miss Tisdale (Nedra Voltz) The post misstress of Hazzard.

She ran the post office and delivered all the mail on her motorcycle while doing crazy stunts on it. She had the biggest crush on Uncle Jesse and did everything to be next to him. She got herself into trouble a few times, and loved it since Uncle Jesse hid her out while the Dukes boys made things right. Sheriff Little (Don Pedro Colley) Sheriff Little was Chickasaw only sheriff and he couldn’t wait to catch the duke boys but he never did. The Balladeer (Waylon Jennings) You heard his voice in every episode; singing the theme song, and narrating the story.He was always gave the Duke boys advice that they couldn’t hear, and telling everyone to hold on for a commercial break. The General Lee (1969 Dodge Charger) The General Lee is the greatest automobile on the face of the Earth. Bo and Luke came across it while looking for a car to put the engine they had just built into.

They found a beat-up black charger in a Chickasaw junk yard after it had been used in a bank robbery and run off the road and used the money Uncle Jesse lent them to buy it.They took it over to Cooter’s Garage and turned it into the car we all know and love.The General had to be severely overhauled to withstand all the abuse the Dukes put to it. The car was stripped down, replaced with a roll-bar added, a grill guard was added to the front, the antenna was removed so the Dukes could slide across the hood easily, and the doors were welded shut ’cause Luke wanted it to be just like a car in the Nascar Circuit. The horn was replaced with one that played the first 11 notes of Dixie even though the tune was edited in after the first few episodes. The only color Cooter had in his garage at the time was orange so that’s the color it came to be. They also slapped a big ol’ Confederate Flag on the roof with the name GENERAL LEE on both sides of it. And don’t forget the big ‘ol “01” on each door.
