The Dukes of Hazzard: Hazzard in Hollywood

i saw the 2 reunion movies one after the other. The first one was very well done: the general jumped and the cast were looking in good health. In this movie, Luke has a goatee and the general only jumps once. To make it worse the dukes sing, rosco is loving his dog and there is no Uncle Jesse. The way that they didnt even mention his passing till the end of the movie was awful- no one even talked about him!!!!

If you want to see the dukes in their prime watch the series. If you want to see them back together again see the first reunion movie. You will be sad if you watch the second one as such a great show has been killed.

But it could have been worse- coy and vance duke show up too!!!

I would like to know the reason for calling this movie "Hazard in Hollywood". They didn't spend much time there at all. Daisy does a few stunts for one movie and the Duke boys chase the bad guys through the Hollywood sets. I'm not a guy who's a big fan of goatees, as it seems many are nowadays, so it was a bummer to see Luke with one. Enos wasn't as funny here or in the reunion as he was in the show. Neither was Cletus. Too bad. Rosco was still kind of funny. It was a great movie, though, but it should probably only be seen by real Dukes of Hazard fans. I think next time, they should have to deal with Hughie Hoggs villainy again or have another run-in with Sheriff Little. Maybe they'll even bring Coy and Vance back. Whatever happens, may the General Lee ride forever!

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 grew up with this show and the images of that car jumping, the country scenes, the ethics and simplicity of the series, captured my imagination back when I was a child. The creators of reunions today should take into account that we loved this show and don't want to see it crumble. Above all (fist fights-and jumps) this show was about two good old boys against the corrupt system. So if one want to modernize the plot, he/she should construct a story where the Dukes and the legendary General Lee surpass oppressive forces of today, leaving that humane feeling to the audience they always did. The Dukes didn't chase as much as they were chased! That is a basic principle forgotten. Loading it with new characters and unrelated stories, makes real Duke fans uninterested. This movie was also a lost opportunity for Hollywood to make some self-sarcasm of itself, since it is a powerful "system" and the Dukes could have taken some yeeehaaas against it.

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.
