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.
