Dukes of Hazzard (Film)

Dukes Trailer (http://www.apple.com/trailers/wb/thedukesofhazzard/large.html)

These Boots (Were Made For Walkin') (http://www.sonymusic.com/artists/JessicaSimpson/video/JessicaSimpson_Boots_RoughVidFull_300.asx)

Based on the hit television series that ran from 1979-85, The Dukes of Hazzard is written by Jonathan Davis, with revisions by John O'Brien and Broken Lizard. Set in present day, the story follows the adventures of "good old boy" cousins, Bo (Seann William Scott) and Luke (Johnny Knoxville) Duke, who with the help of their eye-catching cousin Daisy (Jessica Simpson) and moonshine running Uncle Jesse (Willie Nelson), try and save the family farm from being destroyed by Hazzard County's corrupt commissioner Boss Hogg (Burt Reynolds). Their efforts constantly find the "Duke Boys" eluding authorities in "The General Lee," their famed 1969 orange Dodge Charger that keeps them one step ahead of the dimwitted antics of the small southern town's Sheriff Roscoe P. Coltrane (M.C. Gainey).

Discuss here the new movie and jessica's and willie's new video.

[TMLS]

Much as I loved the show, and a fan of SWS I just can't see it being any good. Anyone else?

[slayer]

I am actually looking forward to seeing it

[VersesBatman]

This looks stupid.

[Summers]

I still say they shouldve been in the same hair color as the characters IMO.

[VersesBatman]

And Bo and Luke don't look right with stubble.

[Summers]

Stubble is "in", so I can see why.

[Renee28]

That Jessica Simpson video is just gross.

Ben Jones has been urging people to skip the movie -- he's saying the filmmakers "trashed" the show.

[Summers]

I heard Jessica got a lot of heat for that video. I havent seen it just heard the buzz.

Who is Ben Jones again?

[M.D.]

Ben Jones played cooter on DOH.

I saw that on another site!

My main reason for not watching this is well, it will suck.

[luthorsmentor]

I don't know the video isn't so bad if it is viewed like i view all other jessica simpson videos.....without sound. won't be long before she's in one of those kinds of videos for Hef. i'll probably rent the movie eventually but i won't see it in the theater. looks like a decent parody.

[slayer]

both the trailer and js vid are on the original post

[axisoftime]

I used to watch Dukes of Hazzard-wasnt a big fan but I enjoyed it.Seems like it would work better as a weekly sitcom rather then a major movie.Id say probably it wont be too good but u really got wait till it comes out-either see it for yourself or read the reviews.
I like Jessicas video .Course the guys will like it lol. Id probably say a Justin Timberlake video was gross whereas the ladies would probably like that!
I dont like that none of the original cast are in the film-why couldnt John schneider or Tom Wopat or Catherine Bach do a cameo.

[Renee28]

From the sound of it, none of them like what's been done with the movie. John read an early version of the script and liked it pretty well, but apparently they changed it a lot after that, because now he sounds like he doesn't want anything to do with it at all.

[LanaandPete]

I heard Roscoe isnt in the movie? Is this true, if it is then why?

[clark25]

Hey guys just thought that I would let
you know that the new Dukes of Hazzard
movie is #1 this weekend to them I give
a big YEEEEAWWWW.I plan to go and
see it this week sometime boy I can't
wait to see the general lee on the big
screen I am really excited about that let
me know if you guys saw it yet thanks

[j03superbat]

I heard it was stupid.

But that's just what I heard. Hope you enjoy it.

[VersesBatman]

What I heard that it's a fun, stupid kind of movie.

[Summers]

That's what I heard too, but I'm not surprised why its number one for a number of reasons. Mainly due to skimpy outfits worn by Simpson and the General Lee action.

[VersesBatman]

I think once the novelty wears off it'll sink.

[Summers]

For me its a movie I'll wait to rent on dvd.

[axisoftime]

I havent seen it-but from the reviews Ive read it sounds like yet another poor remake.Instead of the good ol boy-southern charm-goofy family fun type show-theyve apparently made it quite vulgar,with many drug and sex references,as well as many sterotypical crude jokes.Im not surprised-another show remade for the M-TV generation!

[VersesBatman]

I heard that too. Furthermore I don't like who they picked to play Bo.

[KJK]

I saw it this weekend. I thought it was going to stink and went in with low expectations. But it turns out I actually really liked it. It's not award-winning material by any means, but it's really enjoyable and quite funny. 3.8 out of 5.

[axisoftime]

But were u a fan of the original show?

[~*Lois & Clark Fan*~]

It's getting bad reviews everywhere, and IMO it's gotta be pretty bad if even some of the actors want to boycott the movie :\


It's pretty sad when Jessica Simpson is the best part of the whole movie :eek:

[VersesBatman]

Yet it did well over the weekend.

Word! I loved the show but I won't see the movie. In fact are there anymore good movies coming out this summer?

[LexLuthorMetropolis]

I've seen two episodes on CMT and caught it opening day (work didn't need me for once) so I opted to go see it, had no expectations for it whatsoever and came out laughing until I couldn't stop.

Felt nothing like STARSKY AND HUTCH but it played itself out pretty well, right down to the gimmick of the show, itself.

Summer movies are popcorn flicks period. If you're looking for deeper and meaningful movies that the winter since Hollywood is trying to get those kind of flicks out there. Action, comedy, and horror are scattered throughout. It's just the way the system works.

As for good movies, you're dealing with Hollywood. Stick with the digging through the back racks, it works for me. I've found plently of great underappreciated films.

[Somebody Stop Me]

Star Wars, Batman, War of the Worlds and the Fantastic Four were awesome. All these "other" movies suck..........bad.

[Summers]

Well, we had some summer meaningful flicks like Batman Begins and upcoming Serenity :).

IMO Stealth was an excellent summer popcorn movie :D.

[Somebody Stop Me]

Is that any good?

[~*Lois & Clark Fan*~]

I read that alot of Bewitched Fans hated the Bewitched movie cause they really didn't stay true to the series, same with the DOH movie :(

[Summers]

Which one Batman Begins or Serenity? Serenity doesnt come out until Sept. 30th, but its already labeled as the must-see movie to see.

Stealth? IMO oh, yea. It had great special effects, and the A.I. Stealth was cool. Kinda like K.I.T from Knight Rider, but with more attitude :D. Just a good popcorn flick :).

[LexLuthorMetropolis]

Serenity is more of a Fall movie. Summer offically ends in Hollywood as of mid-to late August. Sept. usually signals the start of the Fall.

[BeepBeep]

A bunch of my friends went to go see it and they said it was absolutely dreadful. I gathered that Jessica Simpson should have just stood there, looking sexy in her Daisy Duke shorts, because she only had a few lines and managed to butcher them all. It didn't help that my city's newspaper gave it a bad review.

I'm obviously not going to see it. Heck, I'm still bitter that Jessica Simpson butchered "These Boots Are Made For Walking." She has a nice voice, but I always reach for the mute button when that song comes on.

I'm not saying its not. Just in CA we still call Sept. Summer over here lol.

[LexLuthorMetropolis]

Not a surprise that I was the only that enjoyed it. Oh well, more fun for me.

"These Boots Are Made For Walking" by Jessica is dreadful, I will admit, but the movie is funny.

Makes sense. D'oh, I'm just use to the system that they've set up screwed up as that may sound.

Sadly, BROTHERS GRIM is a summer movie and I'm looking forward to it, despite the VAN HELSING vibe I get from it.

Well, Sept. is considered Fall in other states. But yea I seen the Hollywood system of Sept. being Fall.

[LexLuthorMetropolis]

Still, can't get over people not liking this movie. More for me then.

U know Jessica is a Dallas girl but I really don't like her. I hate her voice and her music downright sucks. Hell I actually like Ashlee's voice over hers any day. The only bright spot about Jessica is that she has a nice bod but everything esle about her sucks................bad.

[Skywalker]

I wouldnt go that far. :lol:

Yeah, like I said earlier, I liked it. The three people that I saw it with liked it too. But I went in not expecting too much. Maybe that's why. It was funny and fairly well thought out. Like I said before, you have to accept the movie for what it is, and not expect it to be full of stellar acting and a deep plot. I didn't mind the original series, but I thought it was a good movie. I especially liked the Super Troopers connection. :rotfl:

[LexLuthorMetropolis]

Yeah, I did as well.

[SheBangs]

I LOVED the movie. Everyone one of my friends who saw it did to. It was funny as hell. Also the car chases and Jessica Simpson totally made it worth seeing. I found it incredible good. Though I never saw the series so......that might have helped my judgement.

Don't we have March of the Penguins? Supposed to be outstanding.

[Shinzon2004]

i am afraid to see the movie. i think that it will stink rather than go up....i mean it is not the healthy duke family we knew from the 80s,plus the actors look odd.....besides,it is a low budget movie right?hey i am a big fan of the original series!

just a question:how is the movie score?is it any good?

besides i think it was�@not ‚� good idea to make a movie without the original cast,even if denver pyle and sorrell booke are dead....

i remember that some years ago a dukes of hazzard reunion movie was made...why was this not the case???

so anyway this better be a good movie!!!!

[Lexgirl33]

I thought this was the worste movie ever. No point what so ever.

[mario masta]

I didn't think it was bad. Some parts were pretty funny, great soundtrack, and awesome car chases. And omg, Jessica Simpson is GORGEOUS! :eek:

[KJK]

:lol: Yeah, and I don't like her because of Newlyweds, but *wolfwhistles* dizamn! :p

[Lexgirl33]

she was only in the movie to get the ratings :lol:

[axisoftime]

Who would have been better though?They needed a cute southern girl with a nice body-She certainly fits that!I havent seen it-but it seems like Johnny Knoxville may not fit the part.
The worse thing about the film,however-from what Ive read-is how much they changed it from the original show-the vulgarities-the drug and sex references-and the crude stereotype jokes.

[Lexgirl33]

i agree she is very beautiful and worked hard for the part. But really didnt do much in the movie.

[mario masta]

Didn't do much in the movie? She was the best part! :p

[RedPhoenix23]

My brothers dragged me to go see this movie and I have to admit that I actually liked it. Didn't like Jessica, she felt like a stone on screen.

But my bro's on the other hand.....they thought she was best thing about the movie besides the car. Big surprise! :D

I did like the Jessica/Daisy scene when she tries to get like 20 cops to all follow her away from the roadblock because she "needs a tow"-and then a female cop yells at her to tow her own damn vehicle and all the boy cops go back to the roadblock! :lol: Oh well, better luck next time! :D

[Himerley]

I loved the movie and no one should listen to the reviews. :D

[Somebody Stop Me]

Didn't listen to the reviews. It just looks stupid and my instincts are usually right.

[Shinzon2004]

Hmmmmm.....I havent seen the movie yet.

Do you think that we might see a sequel in the future???

I dont kinow but from what I read it sure had some impact!

I wonder what if the tptb had choosen Kristin Kreuk as Daisy Duke???

:lol:

Oh anyway I want to see the film,but I guess that the movie cant be based upon the original TV series,it is only a restart of the Dukes,but never based upon the original show because it doesnt has any of the original cast and the plot is very different.

Think that in a couple of years we might see a new Dukes of Hazzard series???

[~*Lois & Clark Fan*~]

If it's a movie about the Dukes of Hazzard, it should be based on the Dukes, I mean the Brady Bunch movie was so close to the series and it was great, so it can be done. ;)

[NewSVFan78]

I saw this movie and in my honest opinion.I thought it Stunk and I couldn't wait for it to end.I'm just giving my honest opinion here. :cool:

[Somebody Stop Me]

I'm not paying to see it myself.

[Randy G.]

Reviews mean NOTHING. They are simply grouchy little men getting paid un-godly amounts, to express their PERSONAL opinion.

Personalities, opinions, & tastes vary from person to person.
What one man finds "terrible," another may find really entertaining.

Make up your own minds. :lol: Please. ;)

This has been a public service announcement brought to you by Randy G.

[Somebody Stop Me]

Then I take Randy you seen the movie and liked it?

[Shinzon2004]

I just saw the movie finally.What can I say?What a rush!!

I guess that the movie was so different from the original series....

The only thing that bothered me was the fact that they changed Bo and Luke into this real mean bad boys,with bad language.
There wasnt need for bad language in the movie,I guess.

The car chases were OK,but I disliked the casting for Rosco and Enos...anyway do you think that we might have a sequel?

It was nice to see the General Lee jumping in the silver screen...

[NewSVFan78]

If there is a Sequel I think I will just skip it. :)

[Shinzon2004]

And Jessica Simpson doesnt look anything like Daisy....

Ahhhhh this movie was so weird!!!!!

[LexLuthorMetropolis]

I just treat it as a remake. If you like me often times want the old show, it's always there on DVD and it's always on TV.

Still a fan of the movie though. Drools....Jessica.

[Shinzon2004]

I believe that any episode from the original series is more enjoyable than the movie.The original series has more lovable characters,good and clean fun.

Besides the Dukes boys aren t the jerks that we saw in the movie.

I liked the movie,but not the character development,it could have been done better.

Besides they never explained where the boys got the General Lee!

[Somebody Stop Me]

Johnny Knoxville is a massacist anyway and in no way associated with "good clean fun".

[Shinzon2004]

so....was it a good movie,or not?I am curious as if this movie will have any kind of spin off,wether they are sequels or TV series....

They might do a sequel....do you know if it made any good cash at the box office?

[Somebody Stop Me]

Domestic: $77,618,775
+ Overseas: $9,700,000

It did good in the States but not abroad.

[Shinzon2004]

Honestly I didnt liked the movie,it was bad....what is iy an adaptation or a remake of the series???

The actor who played Rosco wasnt funny,Enos looked dumb and only one car chase???

I tell ya there wasnt any need for this film at all....

[j03superbat]

What up, Shinzon? First you say you like the movie, then you say you didn't? :)

I thought it was funny. I've never seen the show, so it's not like I was disappointed.
