Good video ! just a note about the Chargers used, they used around 320 or so for the show and produced over 250000 Gen2s, in reality the show saved alot more Chargers that would have been scrapped

@MaximRecoil

Жыл бұрын

More like 220. The 300+ figure is a myth. Keep in mind that they wrecked very few, if any, Chargers in seasons 6 and 7. In season 6, most, if not all, of the General Lee jumps were reused footage from previous seasons, and in season 7 they were using scale models (which looked ridiculous) along with some reused footage.

It's amazing how much work goes into producing a TV show, and how many people it takes to make it work. While it had it's unrealistic moments on every episode, as most shows do, it is so much fun to watch!

Towards the end of "The Dukes Of Hazzard's" eight-season run, not only was footage of the General Lee making those unbelievable (and utterly ridiculous) Hail Mary leaps and jumps from previous seasons was constantly reused, but the producers also began utilizing one-eighth scale, remote control-operated miniature models of the General Lee to avoid constantly repairing the Dodge Chargers--309 in total, if my memory serves me correctly--that were purchased and subsequently repainted during its entire run to resemble Bo and Luke's mode of transportation. And I love those Joe Kubert-illustrated Haunted Tank covers from G.I. Combat (along with his other incredible comic book artwork, particularly on Sgt. Rock, Tarzan, and Hawkman)!

The second-generation Dodge Charger was unique, i.e., it had no "corporate twin." "And another where there's a closeup of Bo shifting gears using a floor-mounted manual transmission" That never happened either. The only closeup of Bo shifting gears with a floor-mounted shifter was with an automatic. "when their car is a "three on the tree" automatic." Most of the Chargers they used were automatics with floor shifters, because that's how most second-generation Chargers came from the factory in the first place. There are only a couple/few instances in the series where you can see a column shifter. Also, there's no such thing as a "three on the tree" automatic. "Three on the tree" refers to a _manual_ three-speed transmission with a column ("tree") shifter rather than a floor shifter.

No. That position of the shift lever (all the way up, like park with an automatic) can only be reverse or 2nd gear, and 2nd gear on a Ford F-series with a "three on the tree" is quite low (I know because I owned one for ten years); think of it as a typical 4-speed that's missing 3rd gear (or a typical 5-speed that's missing 3rd and 5th). You're not going to be going 55 MPH in 2nd gear. Even going 25 MPH in 2nd gear is pushing it a little bit. As a side note, It doesn't even have a particularly good gear for going 25 MPH; 2nd is a little too low and 3rd is a little too high, which is annoying, because 25 MPH is the standard "in-town" speed limit in most places. You would normally use 3rd gear for 25 MPH with a typical 4- or 5-speed, but that's the gear ratio you're missing.

The A team was another show that had a lot of bloopers also,

I like the look and feel of the California episodes better than any of the five Georgia episodes. The Georgia episodes were obviously more authentic, since the in-universe setting was also in Georgia, but it was missing almost everything I loved about "Hazzard County," such as that cozy little town square, Cooter's garage (I loved the look of that building), the police station (I loved that little corner jail cell), all those dirt roads, the small creek they jumped so many times, Hazzard Pond where Rosco and Enos landed so many times, and the small, well-lit Boar's Nest along with Boss Hogg's office there, complete with a pool table and a sword fish on the wall. In the Georgia episodes, the police station sucked and was in some remote location, most of the roads were paved, the in-town area had a bunch of intersecting streets and lacked a solid visual identity (certainly not small and cozy), Cooter didn't have a garage, and the Boar's Nest interior sucked even worse than the police station's; dimly lit, large, noisy, and crowded; not a comfortable setting at all like the set they used for the Boar's Nest in the California episodes. On top of that, the more fictional look of the California episodes made the over-the-top stuff that happened on the show easier to swallow. When you see a car drive away in perfect condition after being clearly totaled from landing a huge jump, it's easier to suspend disbelief when it happens on a studio backlot with mock buildings than when it happens in a real-world location. The stories were framed as "legends" after all; Waylon Jennings says so at the end of various episodes ("That's the legend of how..."), and the classic TV world of the California episodes fits better into a legend than the real world of the Georgia episodes.

I have to disagree with you slightly. I think the biggest goof they made was trying to switch Bo and Luke out with Coy and Vance (or as my wife likes to call them, Soy and Lance). The second biggest goof was letting the quality of writing slip (the absolute worst Bo and Luke episode being "Strange Visitor to Hazzard, the one with the alien in it). Also, Daisy's Road Runner was not actually a Road Runner, but a Plymouth Satellite Sebring. When they filmed in Georgia it was originally a '74 Road Runner but after moving production to California, they apparently had trouble finding/buying more Road Runners, so they switched it to a '71 Sebring that was painted to look like the original car. I remember seeing the car in later episodes and thinking it looked a little strange. The front ends of the two cars are quite different. I have heard that they also dressed up some AMC Matadors like the General Lee for some of the stunts when they were running low on '69 and '70 Chargers, but I have never any shots with them while watching the show.
