Twenty years have slipped by since The Dukes of Hazzard ended its TV run in 1985. Of course, Bo, Luke, Daisy, Uncle Jesse, Cooter, Rosco and Boss Hogg have lived on through the marketing miracle of syndication ever since, but they ain't never done much harm to nobody ... until now.
Hazzard County doesn't look quite the same on the big screen, and its citizens don't act the same, either. Sure, Bo and Luke have always loved driving fast and crashing hard, but it's not the country-road chase sequences that destroy The Dukes. It's the attitude. Silliness has been replaced by meanness. Goofiness with dull stupidity. Laugh lines with sexual sludge. Exclamations are now laced with vulgarity. And "trying to do the right thing but doing it the wrong way" has given in to "just do whatever you please at whatever cost." Never before has that signature, beat-up orange hotrod shown so many dents.
After reading the script months before the movie was released, Ben Jones (who played mechanic Cooter on the TV series) wrote the following on his Web site: "From all I have seen and heard, the Dukes movie is a sleazy insult to all of us who have cared about The Dukes of Hazzard. ... I would strongly recommend that true-blue Dukes fans hold their noses and pass this one up. ... Basically, they trashed our show." Indeed. Not even Boss Hogg would want to punish the Duke boys as much as this movie does
