Dukes Of Hazzard - Season 3 (DVD)

WARNING - Hazzard ahead

Advantages: Funny and loads of car chases
Disadvantages: Poor acting and weak plot

. * Direction Directing "The Dukes of Hazzard" is Jay Chandrasekhar, who other than directing the middle of the road "Club Dread" has learned his craft with TV shows. To be honest he doesn't really do anything wrong with the film, and capitalizes on one of the key elements of the original show, and that is the car chases featuring the General Lee, which he does to maximum effect. I suppose anyone who takes on a remake of a classic TV series takes on the risks associated with it and stands more chance of making a box office flop than hit. In Chandrasekhar's case I think he has done an admirable job, but just lacked the experience to make this better. DVD - Bonus Features and quality **************************************** * Bonus Features First up is a feature called "Daisy Dukes: The Short Short Shorts" which is a short feature which ...

Review of Dukes Of Hazzard (Unseen Edition) (DVD)

Health Hazzard

Advantages: Some really good stunt driving
Disadvantages: Jessica Simpson's acting, no plot, Jessica Simpson's acting, Burt Reynolds' wig, Jessica Simpson's acting...

, but as Bo Duke, he over-eggs the comedy in virtually every scene and pushes the wild-eyed insaniac envelope far too far. Still there's a manic glee in the slapstick he doles out that carries the character a long way. As hot-pants wearing Daisy Duke, Jessica Simpson is more vacant than a Skegness guesthouse in the off-season. Her performance seems to consist mainly of flashing her pneumatic charms and her perfect teeth. She recites her few lines as if she has no understanding of them, which is odd considering how basic her dialogue is. Burt Reynolds continues a run of poorly written parts as Boss Hogg. Seemingly using Colonel Sanders as a role model and a dead stoat as a wig the tanfastic has-been monologues his way through the film with all the charm of Republican presidential candidate. So I suppose it fits the part quite well. I'm not ...

Review of Dukes of Hazzard (2005)

Hazzard To Your Health

Advantages: Some good stunts
Disadvantages: Boss Hogg ain't fat, lame story

When the Hollywood ideas factory goes on strike then there's always TV?. Back in 2000 Charlie's Angels was revamped for the big screen and made a decent amount of money. It was by no means a good film but got by just by being a bit of fun. So what other small screen gems could be turned into cash cows? Well The A-Team has often been mentioned but so far it's not materialized. For what it's worth I'd gladly sit through an A-Team movie on the big screen if it were done well. The Dukes of Hazzard was never a good TV show. It was just the same old stuff every week; it just happened to pass the time and caught an audience. But does the material justify a movie? The 'Dukes' in question are cousins Bo and Luke Duke. They drive around the hick town of Hazzard in a 1969 Dodge Charger delivering moonshine for their uncle Jessie. Quite often ...
