This movie needs to get A lot more credit!
Okay first off....
This is NOT a pure remake of The Dukes of Hazzard....it's a Stand Alone production, from the producer/writer/ director of Super Troopers, and Club Dread. It's supposed to be a dukes of hazzard production taken place TODAY.....NOT a remake or dedication type film. Second, this movie Isn't a huge budget Hollywood movie.....it didn't go down like that. If you've never seen the original dukes of hazzard, DO NOT see it before you watch this movie, because it may ruin the movie....because your GOING to expect a remake/judgement comparison between the two.... Basically, if your a fan of dukes of hazzard, you probably will hate this movie, because you've seen all the originals, and you WILL BE EXPECTING a lot of things!!! This movie should be viewed as a private stand-alone movie with new actors...it's for the newer generation...NOT to be compared to the old dukes. Other than that, this movie is funny as hell, got kickass car chases and stunts. Jay went thru extra trouble to make sure the car stunts were realistic and NOT CGI.....which he EASILY could have gone that route!!! Every car stunt scene in this movie has a driver in the car or was done with Chain driven ramp-launchers. He NEVER cut scenes between stunts....ALL car stunts were done in ONE SOLID TAKE!!! (he easily could have chopped up scenes to make a super fake looking jump...but he didn't.) They actually designed a special machine to launch cars JUST for this movie, a machine which has NEVER been used before. It's funny because i see so many bad reviews....yet when i saw this movie in theaters, EVERYONE loved this movie...NEVER heard a complaint. This was one of the movies that kept me wanting to race and build cars. If you love cars or chases, this movie WILL get your blood pumping! It's alittle cheesy at some points and immature comedy along the way, but its Definitely got the vibe of a 70's classic muscle car...and one of the VERY FEW movies that really captures the feel of a muscle car doing what it does best...GO FAST.. jaybird857 watch Black Knight movie

I'll tell you what happened, some people with money thought it would be nice to ruin one of the best shows that was on TV. Did we really need a big screen re-make? Did they ask the fans? I wonder how all the fans would feel if they did a remake of "Rocky Horror Picture Show" with actors like Ashton Krutcher, Steve Martin, Britney Spears, and Kiefer Southerland, took out all the music, and made it a drama. Do you think they would like that! This movie does not have the same feel to it that the original had. Sure the original was a bit corny at times, but Bo and Luke were always nice, they got into trouble because they were always set up to get into trouble, and their main objective was to help people that passed through town. None of that mattered to the people that made this film, they might have never even seen the original show all the way through. My big question is, what will they ruin next?. Also I recommended.

h my goooooooooooooooooooosh! I can't believe I saw this movie! What a horrible film! Horrible acting, horrible screenplay, just plain bad! What were these writers thinking? "Hmm, a nice plot & clever jokes would be good, but let's just pack this film with stupid red-necks & drunken slap-stick." Please don't believe this stereotypical writing. We Southerners are not this stupid, I promise. The only good thing about this is that Jessica Simpson gives us a nice reminder of why we don't like to see pop-stars do movies. If she doesn't earn a Razzie, or at least a nomination, then there's no justice in this world. What ever you do, don't waste your time with this crap.

This Movie is the Worst Movie I Have Ever Seen
I don't understand why making remakes has become the trend. Every
remake I have ever seen is awful, and this is no exception. If any of you have seen the quote from Ben Jones, that it is a "sleazy" piece of trash, he is quite right. Why they would take a wonderful television show, which I loved, have never missed an episode, and own seasons 1-4 on DVD, and ruin it, I'll never know. The television show was a family show, and although Daisy has the body, it was really flaunted, or even addressed in the show, save the outfits. A family show has been turned in to a dirty piece of garbage, and I wouldn't recommend anyone go see it. Another thing I didn't like was that John Schneider and Tom Wopat are excellent actors (along with the rest of the original cast), and they are also extremely cute. The new Bo and Luke are not even a little cute. That was one of the drawers for the show. The casting is terrible. They could have at least gotten a brunette for Daisy. I don't think Burt Reynolds is a qualified Boss Hogg, either. Every other role he has ever played is totally opposite this role. The only role they cast halfway decent is Willie Nelson as Uncle Jesse, but still it is no comparison. Denver Pyle is an actor all his own, and that made him perfect for the role. I think that the casting is awful, the story is awful, and all in all ruined a wonderful show and turned it into a dirty, terrible movie. I wouldn't recommend anyone go see it. I only saw it out of curiosity, plus there was a free ticket in season 4 DVD. I would never have paid to see this movie, but it was free. DON'T PAY TO SEE THIS MOVIE.. |
