It's the image. The flag's there. The online fans are already in an uproar about this movie, but can you image what would happen if they tried the change the General in any way? However, they are pulling some disclaimer PC crap to explain it away.
I loved the Dukes from the beginning - it started when I was in Kindergarten. But I don't plan on seeing this movie. I have no respect for the actors or the way the producers are treating the original show. None of the original actors like it either. And to paraphrase Ben Jones (aka "Cooter"), if you can't take a 7 year old to see it, it's not worth seeing.

You guys have heard about Country Music Television's job opening, right? For someone to run their official Dukes of Hazard TV show blog for a year, and make the occasional appearance, and make $100,000? Oh, if I were only making it up.

I'm surprised they didn't wait until next year and use the movie as a promo tool for the *new* 2006 Dodge "Charger".

Actually, they will shoot the sequel where the Dukes blow up the General Lee to save Cooter and when they return to the garage they find the '06 Charger with a "-A" license plate.

I remember hearing about the NAACP making a deal big deal about the rebel flag on the General Lee. And considering how fucking PC America has become it wouldn't surprise me if they'd give in to the NAACP's demands over something so trival. God forbid we actually offend anybody in any way imaginable. And I'm almost certain when this movie is released you know someone is going to make a huge fuss about the flag on the car.

You've offended me by using the word God in this clearly racist thread. I insist you use the more pc term, "gender neutral, equal opportunity deity of your choice"
