I'm curious as to whether or not the Confederate flag was removed from the top of the car. DOES ANYBODY KNOW? I'll be extremely P.O.'d if it has been, & I need to know before I go see the movie.
That's funny - and I'm a Catholic!
I seem to recall an episode where Daisy was bathing in the creek, and she chastised Enos about watching her "wash her unmentionables." Sexual innuendo indeed!
Likewise.
Not my wife!
Take a classic movie or TV show.
Skim off the surface.
Discard remaining substance.
Add sexual content, drug humor, profanity, gross stereotypes, political correctness.
Insert Flavor of the Month Kutcher clone, a respected actor, a scantily-clad "it" girl, complete with fake breasts, collagen lips, cheek implants, liposuction and Botox where needed. Garnish with a gratuitous cameo or seven.
Add CGI where needed to shore up deficiencies in the plot.
Market the hell out of it. Build up hopes unrealistically high with previews.
Charge $7 a butt, more on the coasts.
After 6-12 months an a successful international run, release the "director's cut" two disc DVD, complete with cookie-cutter interviews, moronic outtakes and up to four "alternate endings."
Laugh all the way to the bank, knowing talentless directors and scriptwriters with no new ideas can invest in hack actors and defraud the movie-going public.
Oh, and everyone involved in this Dukes movie should be horsewhipped for defiling a classic as they have done. I mean, Sean William Scott? What were they thinking?
The flag IS on the top of the car, however it isn't there at the beginning of the movie. The Dukes get into a fender bender, and some travelling "rednecks" repair the car and paint the flag on the top ...
Actually, I didn't like the TV series all that well but I guess well enough that we watched it.
They have a Black guy playing Boss Hogg. I wonder if his name will still be Jefferson Davis Hogg?
I still remember being in one of the largest Black neighborhoods in Portsmouth, VA and seeing not one, but two different kids with confederate flags on their trikes. I then remembered, they were Dukes of Hazzard, toys.
Sigh :(
Same here.. I was the fan of the show until the replacements came in (that is when I stopped watching the show). I refuse to spend my hard earn money on that piece of trash movie.
She's also gotta be pushing 50. Not bad, if you ask me.
So I don't have to see the film...
Are you kidding?
That's all Hollywood does these days, remake classics that should be left alone.
Methinks Hollywood has run out of ideas, and is gasping on fumes.
You know, I saw the trailer and, while the movie looks dumb, I noticed Lynda Carter in a role. She still looks beautiful!
And if that don't do it, then Kiss My Shiney Metal A$$

It looks like from the ads that the flag is on the car's hood, as it should be.
because the film industry is going through the 1970s, instead of disaster films about every vehicle, they are doing remakes which become a vehicle that becomes it's own disaster. There is no vision. When everyone watches the same show, goes to the same movie, or went to the same film school, there is not enough creative diversity to inspire anything new.
Huh? Does Burth Reynolds have the anti-Michael Jackson disease?
