Dukes of Hazzard

[SlowHand]

saw it last night, laughed by head off, and admired the brilliant piece of driving by Rhys Millen.

Normally Im not into big hollywood action-based movies, but it was funny - although full of cliches, I guess it was just the energy created by Knoxvill and Stifler?

Thought I'd share!

[Sniper]

Thanks mate, I have been wanting to see it.

BTW: Name your bike whatever you want to. It has nothing to do with me. Call it sniper if you want. (Or not as I don't want you riding me)

[vifferman]

Thought I'd share!
Well thanks for sharing that with us.

[duckman]

What about Daisey ??? you haven't mentioned DAISEY ???!?!?!? :love:

[Storm]

[BNZ]

I loved it to. I love the fight scene in the bar with the flying headbut!

I remember the old days (just) of the original Dukes of Hazard, Chips, Knight Rider and such...
Saw a smidgen of the preview and it looked like a piss take (like I said I havent seen the movie). Is that what it is?

[SlowHand]

yeah that one and the bloopers when sean william scott is hanging off the fence, followed by knoxville "entertaining" him after he realises he cant be pulled down

Charlie - that was before my time. Although I remember knight rider, Ateam and a few others. I would say it is a "remake" and that the humour etc are a bit old. but a good clean NO NOS fun

Nothing will remotely replace the original Dukes! "Coo coo coo". And didn't DAISY flunk out as an actress after shooting with Bo & Luke for such a long time...and all those cars they went through?

[vifferman]

It's right up there on my list of movies to avoid at all costs. :whistle:

Good.
That's $15 or whatever I've saved.
That'll buy me a half a tank of petrol for the bike....

[SlowHand]

Really, Boss Hogg is a stick in the new one?
What was his dogs name? Rascole-Pecole-Train (excuse spelling) or was that his side kick?
Its been a while and the old age is messing with my memory!

[Zed]

It's right up there on my list of movies to avoid at all costs. :whistle: Exactly, at all costs. Watching it would somehow tarnish the good reputation of the original because we all know *it was for real* and this is just a comedy! I think I'll even avoid the DVD upon release too. ;)

Its been a while and the old age is messing with my memory!Dogs name was *Flash*, but that was Rosco's mut! Remember Rosco's side-kick "Enos"...lol, the way Rosco used to pronounce it was hillarious! :lol:

Oh I remember now. Hahaha I was way off - but I was just a youngin!
Yeah the way he mumbles under his breath when he cursing the boys!

Oh and there was all the big truckies that helped them out so they could avoid the law...

Ahhh them was the days!

[inlinefour]

Had the blonde dude that played as one of the brothers. He said he was very disappointed that it was not suitable for the younger viewers like the old show...

[SPORK]

I thought it was teh LOL/shizzle nip tizzle.

I loved teh fight, and when he goes drifting through the city.

Ok show off - so your either a fan or just a smidgen older than me!
I was just a wee nipper when it was on TV and dont recal a lot in detail - oh except that the car was called The General Lee! (I think?)

I'm not sure on the statistics but it was said that when filming the hit television series that ran from 1979-85 (I was 9 when it started!), they went through 10's of Charger's because the jumps "the stuntmen" performed were killing them! :shit::doctor: :eek:

[Holy Roller]

Just been looking at the "Just Cars" mag from OZ there is an original "General Lee with Uncle Jess' Pickup for sale. Way out of my budget but if you are into that sort of thing :2thumbsup

[bugjuice]

how many cars must they have written off for the original show? those jumps were mental.. wonder what the record is for just one show?

[Zed]

Way out of my budget but if you are into that sort of thing :2thumbsupNot my thing bro! Spend my money on bikes any day!! :ride:

[scumdog]

Dunno but when I went past the movie set in '82 there were eight of them parked side by side, all identical.
I understand they used plain-jane "Belmont" models (excuse my link with Holden models) for the jump scenes 'cos the return to earth impact rooted them, the "Premier" big-block model was used for all the fancy drifting and high speed stuff but not trashed, if you ever saw the series you would notice in a jump scene that as the car went past in slo-mo you could see quite a bit of oil smoke coming out of the exhaust as these were tired old dungers tarted up.

I remember reading they had summat like 14 they used when filming the series - this allowed for ones that were being repaired when suspension collapsed and that sort of thing.

yeah, I wouldn't have thought they'd root perfectly good cars. Now adays, they'd probably strip everything out of them and just fire them from pressure rockets.. just not the same..
Anyway, I do know that the engines in those could sometimes upset the flight of those things too, so lots of prep went into that..
It's like Knight Rider too, I remember seeing a photo of about 12 cars parked side by side for filmin an a rootin

Hell, root 'em all!!!!!! yeeeeeehaaaaaaa :headbang:

See the outtakes of new Starsky and Hutch movie? They rooted a few of those cars (can't remember what the red one was now.. Charger..?) in the movie

[Charlie]

While were on reminiscing... (ah Knight Rider - wasnt Kit the coolest car of its time). Anyway had this discussion with someone yesterday... what was the name of the other cop on Chips. It was Ponch and....?????

[Zed]

See the outtakes of new Starsky and Hutch movie? They rooted a few of those cars (can't remember what the red one was now.. Charger..?) in the movieIs there a new one coming out? Surely you don't mean the movie starring Ben Stiller & Owen (crooked-nose) Wilson that was released a year or two ago? That was actually a very funny movie! Original stars David Soul and Paul Michael Glaser made a guest appearance, they were looking old, seeing them reminded me of how old I'm getting...ppfft :p

Btw, Starsky drove a red 1974 Ford Torino.

Baker. - so I believe (bloody ten word thing!)

EDIT: Yeah, as Zed said (pun?) it's Jon Baker.

yeah, I meant that one.. Just if I said that old one, then I would have confused myself and everyone else. But yeah, I meant that one. And I fotgot who starred in it.. it's still too early

[Zed]

...it's still too earlyI thought you were a vampire! Go crawl back into your coffin and get your beauty sleep - stay in there for a month!! You're probably drinking too much of that 'blood of the grape' too! :devil2:

I would have to disagree
It has to be "The Saint in his Corvette Stingray

[Hitcher]

Maxwell Smart and his Karman Ghia...

[Zed]

[vifferman]

Wot?
The Saint (the original one) drove a Volvo, if I'm not mistaken.

[SlowHand]

no, Viper is the coolest car of all time - it had guns and shit.
