The Dukes of Hazzard: Reunion!

This film was a lot of fun. Lots of fun jokes. The original cast looks great. Stella Stevens is a riot as Mama Max.

The plot and surviving cast were great here as we see the Duke Family and the lawmen in fine action again, this time to try to deal with a crooked developer and her cohorts. A nice capstone to an old fun family friendly series with an admittedly complex legacy.

Certainly, compared to the unrelated R-rated later day movies of the newer casts, both Reunion TV movies of the surviving original cast mates are raw gems of decency!

Tom Wopat and John Schneider revive their 80's characters as, once again, the "Good Ol' Boys" rise up against corruption in the South, this time in the form of a businesswoman (Stevens), with the help of some friends from the old series.

You know, I grew up in the Dukes' era, and I was mildly surprised at how good of a job director Lewis Teague did with this film. I know that the original series has some corny plots by what we see nowadays, but, for those of us who grew up in that time, there wasn't one of us alive who enjoyed the original series without picturing themselves behind the wheel of the General Lee. (I had to mention the car - after all, it was the car(s) that made the jump, not those boys.) A little older, perhaps, but the actors walked in and picked up on their original characters like they've been doing them for the last twenty years.

I bought and watched this on Prime Video.

Prime Video has Reunion (1997) and Vudu has Hazzard In Hollywood (2000), each are $10.

They managed to make most of this feel like the original show, just with older people.

The adventure part of the story more or less works.

Emily Proctor (West Wing, CSI Miami) plays a mechanic in this.

Action/Fight star Cynthia Rothrock is a fighter in this and also best friends with Daisy Duke.

This was a good time.

It is quite rare for a TV reunion movie to be as good as a series itself but this Dukes of Hazzard movie was great.

The original Dukes of Hazzard series was just plain fun-it was the type of show anyone could enjoy. This movie recreated the magic of the original series and even though the stars were a lot older that made absolutely no difference to me-I still liked them and they were still convincing in their roles.

The movie may not have had Boss Hogg in but to it's credit they did acknowledge Boss Hogg unlike some TV reunion movies which seem to forget certain characters.

A great film which will be loved by fans of the TV series.
