Trivia

One of the original cars from the '80s was used as a close-up car. It's a converted '68 Charger to look like a '69 and the original engine was replaced by a brand new Hemi engine. The car was used for a few close-up scenes and then sent back to Warner Bros.

Goofs

Luke Duke slides out of the car window to shoot his bow and arrow and doesn't have a bow with him. Then he has a bow and shoots at the cops. When he slides back into the car, he no longer has his bow.

User Reviews

Ha ha ha what a piece of ...

First off, I'm not a die-hard Dukes of Hazzard fan. I don't think I've even seen an episode. So I'm completely unbiased.

What a waste of...well...everything. Waste of money, waste of casting big actors, and worst of all, a waste of Dodge Chargers (and various other cars). A friend snuck me into the theater to see this and I still wanted my money back. There was nothing to laugh at. Jessica Simpson is type-casted as a dumbass blonde. Seann William Scott plays a watered down version of Steven Stifler. Johnny Knoxville plays a watered down version of...well...Johnny Knoxville. If you want to see Jessica Simpson half-naked, go buy a wall poster. You will get all the benefits of seeing her mammary real-estate without the hassle of hearing her speak. As I mentioned before, I almost cried coming out of the theater just thinking about all the cars they ruined to make this crap.

Super Troopers is a classic. Now please stop trying to make movies.
