The Dukes of Hazzard: Hazzard in Hollywood

I hope they put Hazzard in Hollywood movie on DVD soon . I have the Dukes of Hazzard collection on DVD as well and I am looking for the reunion show on DVD .Ilike this better than the new movie they made with Jessica Simpson . I like her music and think she's great but I think they could have done a better job with it. They made the Dukes look like airheads. And I think they could have gotten a better actor to play uncle Jessie. If they would stick with the original way of doing the show I believe it would have been great. But they changed it to much. The original show was funny and still had heart even if boss and the Dukes didn't see eye to eye they still respected each other. They movie with Jessica Simpson just did't have that It made the Dukes and every one look like a big joke.

I was looking forward to this TV reunion as I watched the original show every week and enjoyed the sillyness of it. But this show wasn't silly, it was just plain stupid and boring. There was no more chemistry between the 2 male stars and the Daisy Duke shorts were never seen, and the Sheriff looked like he was losing his marbles. Too bad uncle Jesse and Boss Hogg are gone because they were key elements. If this show was shown 20 years ago it never would have made it into a series. Any rerun episode of the original show would be better than this.

It would probably be a good sell if you put this movie on DVD and/or video.....It was a great movie...I use to love to watch the Dukes of Hazzard all the time when I was a kid and still do. My kids love it and they/we own seasons 1, 2 and 3. We watched the movie and in my opinion it was a disgrace to the original series. My children were not allowed to watch it. Please reply to my message and let me know whether or not there will be a movie on this and the Dukes of Hazzard: Reunion. I love to watch anything to do with the duke boys. It is sad that Uncle Jesse passed on, he was a very good actor. Like I said before please respond to this message.

My first opinion of the Dukes of Hazzard: Hazzard in Hollywood when I read the reviews and before I saw the thing actually for myself was the show would basically suck. This wasn't the case for me.

Of both Reunion movies, Hazzard in Hollywood is the one I enjoyed the most. It had a lot of things that I saw the Reunion! movie lacked. First of all, the Reunion movie did have a lot of car scenes, but they were all achieve footage. If they can't make the scenes match, why bother? Sure, they did have archive footage in the original series, but it at least matched! Second of all, the reunion movie was about the race, but then they tied in Enos and Daisy's wedding. We actually think they're gonna pull it off this time, but no such luck. It's Daisy this time that gets cold feet. I don't know about y'all, but I don't see Daisy as one to get jittery. Then we find out in the beginning of the movie that Daisy had a bad marriage and when the fellow shows up, I'm expecting a fight breaking out between Bo, Luke and L.D., but all Bo says is "You've done enough." Not what I expected, to say the least.

Hazzard in Hollywood had Bo lusting, which is a basic in the series; Luke was a tiny bit out of character, but he's getting older and doesn't like the big stunts he use to do when he was younger (which is understandable, because he was doing this in the 6th and 7th season); Daisy was more outgoing in Hazzard In Hollywood, which is kind of like Daisy's character; Rosco's funny, Cletus is silly, Enos has this new twist on him that I liked. I can see all the city girls calling him a "Stud Muffin" because it's something they're not use to. He's a different culture to the one they're use to. Boss and Uncle Jesse are Marjory missed and you can tell it. But to complain that Jesse wasn't as missed as Boss Hogg is absurd. You could tell they were thinking about him. He is mentioned throughout the show. One thing I dislike about both of the movies is the house. The first one it's a 2-story house and the second one it isn't even seen. I like the second one better of the two because if you can't get it right, don't do it at all.

All out of all, I like the second movie better. It has more of the elements that I missed. The show is a more of a place to go if you want to get 100% Dukes, but if you want to see the cast get together and it's not a documentary, watch Hazzard in Hollywood.

One more thing and I think I'm done. Luke's goatee could be formed out of his maturity. Uncle Jesse always had a beard and mustache, maybe Luke thought he should have one. He is the head of the household now. I'm not a fan of goatees, don't get me wrong, but maybe there's an unmentioned motive behind the goatee. There's a lot of unmentioned motives in the series.

When I tune in to see the Dukes TV series there are certain things I expect to see. This movie had almost none of them and a lot of things I didn't expect. First, John Schneider's singing career should have been left out of this movie. In fact, most of the singing should have been left out. The Dukes of Hazzard featured a lot of car chases, sneaky plots, and fist fights. Where were they in this movie? The sneaky plot was so convoluted that it was lost in this movie. Fist fights happen but since we loose track of what is going on we really don't care about them. More then those two put together is the loss of the car chases. The General jumps a whole one time and that was just to show off. The TV show usually had car chases consisting of half the show with the final chase having the Dukes chasing the bad guys while the police chase the Dukes while some outside police force is in the chase as well. They all come together at the end with the Dukes fouling the bad guy's plot while the outside police force fouling up Boss and Rosco's scheme. Cooter fixes the cars, Enos and Cletus chase the Dukes, and Boss and Rosco cause all the trouble. None of that was in this movie. The characters were badly out of place. Luke broken hearted, Bo singing, Cooter doing nothing, Enos having a relatively big part, Cletus almost never seen, and Rosco loving a STUFFED dog? This movie also treated the loved General Lee like it was nothing more then a car. It is there to provide transportation only (and to show off once). This is driven home even harder then they have to replace the cars transmission. My final score for it is a 4. While in itself it was a fun movie they could have included the elements that made us love the Dukes, instead of having a ton of country singers.
