There were 32 "General Lee's" used for this movie. [Frown]

Well that doesn't bode well for this movie.

229 General Lee's in the original series ranging from the 68-70 model Charger's.

I'm slightly annoyed at Hobbes' rather rude decision to be much more attractive than me though. That's just rude. - PsyLiam, Oct 27, 2005.

I've heard that they destroyed a car almost every day filming the show.

Something like that, the more the better IMO. *Ducks hail of bullets from angry Americans*. It's fairly obvious in some scenes the car makes a huge jump, lands safely whilst crushing the entire suspension and probably smashing the engine block into the road - cut to next shot the General is in perfect condition. I'm surprised they didn't run out of cars to mangle.

...And yet you call yourself a science fiction fan?

The confederate flag was removed for the two TV reunion movies that aired on CBS a couple of years ago. The General was then filmed in a way as to not show the roof and thus piss off the loyal fans who expected to see the flag on the roof.

You sure about that, Wee Bairns? I saw the first of those reunion films, and don't remember not seeing the flag.

Sol: they destroyed three hundred General Lees, and a hundred police cars over the run of the show.

Also: Jon Frakes guest starred as Boss Hogg's nephew in the 4th season opener.

I will not rest until I see a picture of Will Riker and Boss Hogg together.

All I remember about the reunion movies was that Daisy had jowls and my childhood fantasies were utterly ruined.

Lee,

I scoured the internet for a picture ... but none to be found! The character's name was Commander Jamie Lee Hogg. Er, minus the Commander.

Almost completely positive. Blame it on CBS trying not to offend anyone at the time. But it might have only been one of the reunion movies...damn my hazy memory.
And on a side note, near the end of the Dukes TV run, they started filming insane General Lee jumps using [u]miniatures[/u] instead of actual Dodge Chargers. As a result, the car could seem to 'do' more and more.

[Eek!]

I just realized I'm a Duke's nerd. [Frown]

Dukes inspried me to ask my mom if we could weld the doors on our car shut. Also to try and slide across the hood of my dad's car. It didn't work all that well.

Refresh my memory, though... who were the two cousins that replaced Bo and Luke? I always found it odd that Jessie had 5 siblings whose kids were all best friends. Maybe it's a southern thing.
