The Georgia Peaches

In the 1970s, hixpliotation was big. As long as there's good stars in it, I will watch it. I saw it one time on a Saturday night, and it brought back memories. "The Georgia Peaches" is a good time romp. Not quite like "The Dukes of Hazzard". But it was fun. You got Dirk Benedict, fresh out of, "Battlestar Galactica", country singer, Tanya Tucker, and others to boot. With the driving and shooting, what else do you have. You have two sisters and a stock car driver who is also a moonshine deliver, they are forced to catch bootleg cigarettes smugglers and get pardoned for the offenses of their own. It's a good movie, I don't care about the critics responding.

2 out of 5 stars.

This is not a really great movie, but it's an appearance of Tanya Tucker the country singer and Dirk Benedict before he became famous as Faceman on The A-Team. Dirk plays Dusty Tyree, a moonshine running fool if there ever was one. He's also somewhat of a beekeeper. He has a '79-'81 Firebird set up to haul moonshine in a tank. He runs stop signs and does 180s and drives fast backwards and when he's about to get caught, he dumps the moonshine out and ignites it, like in The Last American Hero. But he gets caught somehow sometime, and the Feds have him and the two young women in this story at their mercy. The three have to go undercover for the ATF to break up illegal cigarette smuggling. Some good Tanya Tucker music in this movie.

I saw this movie as a teen. I loved it. Very comical and musically

fun. Would love to see it again & again!!! If I could find it somewhere. I think my children would love enjoy it a lot. This movie really hit home for me in many different ways as an impressionable teen.

I remember this movie being filmed in the town I lived in back in 1980. I was in so love with Dirk Benedict and still vividly remember the day I spent on the set that day as a little girl taking in everything and every action.

The movie, sadly, was a complete disappointment. Dirk, Noble and Lane were the real actors. Everyone and everything else about the movie is very much forgettable.

I'll keep the memories and the photos from that day but I'd rather forget the movie.

.

This is one of my old favorite movies of all time. , I have to buy a new tape of this movie, because I have almost worn it out. One of the reasons I like this movies is of cause that Tanya Tucker play in this movie. She also play in another great TV movie: "Amateur night at the dixie bar & grill. (1979)
