Hazzard County's two rowdiest siblings are back and stirring up more mischief than ever in this prequel to the 2005 comedy adventure that explores the origins of the General Lee while finding out just... read more read more... how Bo (Jonathan Bennett) and Luke Duke (Randy Wayne) first incurred the wrath of bumbling greedy businessman Boss Hogg (Christopher McDonald). Hogg is set to foreclose on Uncle Jesse's (Willie Nelson) farm, and in order to save their crusty kin from financial ruin Bo and Luke agree to deliver his potent brand of moonshine to Hazzard County's thirstiest residents. Unfortunately for Bo and Luke, the nefarious Boss Hogg doesn't take kindly to the newly arrived competition. Subsequently thrown in jail and sentenced to sweat out the remainder of the summer on work detail, the crafty Duke boys enlist the aid of sexy cousin Daisy (April Scott) in outrunning the car with the star and making Boss Hogg's life unbearable through a series of outrageous schemes. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

    It was terrible but funny to watch at the same time, because the way they get the car, just made the whole movie just worth watching a second time!

    Whoooo! VERY HOT AND MORE SEXY country girls than the original one I ever seen that makes me go horny. And lots of funny on spills and thrills pile up at lightning-fast speed, but interested to see how cousins Bob and Luke Duke met at Hazzard Country with their uncle and introduc... read moreed to their beautiful cousin, Daisy who was still a virgin and kind of nerd country girl, just before she transformed to hottie.

    The only reason I watched this is because I am a fan of the car. And that was the only thing about the movie that was any good. The acting was pretty bad and the jokes were even worse. The girl who played Daisy really needed to eat a sandwich or something.

    This movie really didn't need to be made. It's suppose to be a prequel to the story that only ends up messing up the time line. They throw Willie and Harland in for star appeal and it doesn't exactly do anything besides show they were desperate to try and capitalize on a piece of... read more history. It's one rude joke or innuendo after the other that never fire correctly. You are better of just re watching the previous Dukes of Hazzard movie with Johnny and Sean.

    This is supposed to be a prequel to the Dukes of Hazzard movie with Johnny Knoxville, Seann William Scott & Jessica Simpson, but it fails on many levels. For being April Scott's first movie role, she started out looking ordinary, but turned out amazing as Daisy Duke! There is a... read more reason it took me over 2 years to watch this crapfest - because it is pure crap. I think I may have even blacked out a little bit during the middle of it. Overall, pretty bad. Did I mention Trishelle from The Real World: Las Vegas was topless in this movie?

    As a life-long fan of the television show, I can tell you that this movie is 50 times better than the 2005 (which I loved).

    THIS IS FUNNY I ACTUALLY LIKED THIS MOVIE MORE THAN THE THEATRICAL VERSION WHICH STARRED SEAN WILLIAM SCOTT AND JOHNNY KNOXVILLE
  • December 30, 2007
    What a terrible movie. In a market of straight to DVD sequels this movie falls behind with a terrible cast, premise and even a terrible franchise.
  • October 9, 2007
    I didn't think I would like this one, but I loved it! The guys were both hot and I liked to see how the Duke boys got started! It was a fun movie.

Sexist TV prequel is much raunchier than the show. Full Review

In spite of all the raunch, there is little to laugh at in this hack job of a movie. (Unrated) Full Review

never misses an opportunity to throw us a dirt-spewing vehicle, an anonymous topless girl, or both Full Review

This story felt a lot more like the old television show than the first feature film ever did. It wasn't great cinema, but what do you expect? Full Review

I can't say I've grown any more fond of these fellows over the years than when they were first on TV. Full Review
