Cars we'd like to see on the big screen

[Brian Coltrane]

So long as we're Christmas shoppin' for what we'd like in the new Dukes flick, lemme throw this one out there. Besides the '69 Charger starring as the General Lee, what other types of late-model cars or muscle cars would you want on the big screen?

I remember that a Mustang was in the first reunion movie, and I enjoyed the fact that it was companionable to the General as far as age goes. (Anybody remember it, the "Double Zero?" I dont' recall the model year of the Mustang - it's a Ford, so you'll have to excuse me. But it sets a good example. It also got it's own die-cast release by ERTL.

So WB could clean up on merchandising above and beyond the General Lee toys, I'm thinkin'. That aside, for my money, the older, bigger, and louder cars of the late 50's through late 70's will always be THE movie cars in my book. Look at classics like "American Graffiti" and "Grease" and "Bullit". Who doesn't dig these movies just for the cars?

All that in mind, my picks for cars in the new Dukes movie would be....*drum roll* late 60's Chevy's, like Camaros and Impalas (anybody surprised? Heh.) and some big honkin' 70's machines like the Mach 1 Mustangs. Let the General Lee run with, ( or against! ) some cars that shared an era and let's use up every inch of that big screen.

I can only wish. I hope that the "Fast and Furious" type cars like mirco-Honda's and tricked-out Nissan's do NOT play a role in the Dukes movie.

Opinions?

[MaryAnne]

Yes, no rice burners please. =)

1973 SD 455 Trans Am. (imagine me suggestin' that....tsk. LOL)

Besides 60's and 70's machines I'd like to make a pitch for a few 80's cars, such as Monte Carlo's, Olds 442's and Buick Grand Nationals (ahem, and Trans Am's too...but most folks poo poo me on that). Granted, the 80's are really not known for any muscle cars (lookit what Dodge and Plymouth were putting out at the time: Reliant, Aries, Horizon, Omni, a hatchback Charger, aka Plymouth Tursimo aka Chrylser Laser. Ack. Although I drove a Horizon and it was a damn realiable car but not too fast. LOL)

ANYWAY! If they do opt to use some great classic cars in the new Dukes movie, let's hope they actually USE the cars....and not just use them for automotive eye candy ala Nash Bridges. I wanna see Hazzard dirt flying from the back tires please!! =)

[Valerie Strate]

Fast and the Furious is an interesting movie but I tell ya tuners are not my idea of power. I agree keep all the car models later than 1985.

Cars I would love to see...

Gee, I wonder what would be first on my list... *giggles*

One car I would love to see is a 1970 454 Chevelle SS hardtop with blowers on it! Could be any color. But that would be the car I would love to see on there. *chuckles* Something like the 'MelbaToast' in "Dazed and Confused".

However if I had to make a 1980's selection that wasn't a Chevy product. I would love to see a Dodge Daytona. I rode in one of those once and at the time it looked like a peice of crap. But I could let if it had better paint and tune up it would be a pretty cool car.

Yeah, I've seen "American Graffiti" more times than I can count. I think the first day my family owned a VCR that tape was the chrisining tape! *laughs* There were tons of good cars in that movie. You have to love that big bad black 1955 Chevy that Bob Falfa (Harrison Ford, LOL) drove. Mmmmm mmmmm. I tell ya, not only was the actor good in that one but his car was pretty sanzy too. Plus the infamous white T-bird with that blond.

As MaryAnne put it... yes, Dirt must fly! Yes eye candy isn't enough. Cars sitting in the parking lots are nice but we need to see some action as well. I want to see a 1970 Chevelle tare into it with the General! Smoke on the black top! Tires squealing, engines roaring, dirt flying all over the place, and Chrome EVERYWHERE!

Deck the halls with Horsepower and Chrome... Falala La

Oops sorry... got carried away. *giggles*

[LittleRedVicki]

LOL Val! :lol:

On the topic of cars for the Dukes movie, I would like to see either a newer corvette or mustang, or any 60's muscle car.

My favorite is a mustang. Just like in the 1st reunion movie...a 1967 shelby mustang...the only car to beat the General in a overland road race.

I also would like to see a 1968-1969 chevy camaro in the movie too. My first boyfriend had one! So I know how fast it can go!

Take CAre Y'all! Have a Great Night! :wink:

Vicki

[Brian Coltrane]

It sounds like we're pretty much in agreement that we want to see big hunks of American muscle car in this flick, and the more, the merrier!

You know, I'd love to see the General Lee brute a Honda right off the road. Revenge for that "Fast and Furious" movie ( the original ) where the poor Dodge Charger gets smashed to smithereens. Eat this, ya little rice-cake on wheels! *wham!*

Okay, that wasn't politically correct, and somewhere a Honda owner is cursing my humor. And yeah, every time I'm filling up the gas tank in my old Impala at $1.80 a gallon, you have your justice.

But for big-screen chaos, I think a pack of muscle cars beats a herd of imports.

Can you imagine, if in "Smokey and the Bandit", the back of the semi opens, and Bert Reynolds is about to reveal his bootleg wheels....and out rolls a Datsun? ( That's what they called Nissan's back then, for you young folk.) Would have never been the same.

[DaneyDuke]

I agree on seeing a General Lee beat up any rice car. I know it's wrong but it would be Hazzard and the Dukes rarely lost a race.

And while there were many great vehicle choices, I cast my vote for Plymouth ala Daisy's Roadrunner/ Satelite and it would be nice to see a Duster. =)

[countrygirl1986]

I hate the looks of most new cars. They look like Bleck. Some older mustangs, and some other older cars would be nice. just nohting that was meant for the rich. The ol' muscle cars are good with me, the new cars SUCK.

[*Country*GuRL*]

I don't really like Fords. I'm in to all car but the fords there b/c when the 70s came it all went down hill from there but if the do have a ford in there it has to be for the 60s! but i love old cars and trucks.

[Chet Duke]

(IM POSTING AS AN AUTHOR NOT AS THIS CHARACTER)


I'd like to see a 1984 Iroc Z-28 Camaro in the cast of new cars on the big screen. There a good looking car, yet simbolize old muscle to me somehow. Just my opinion.

Another car I would like to see in the car cast is a 1981 Olds Cutless, my great great uncel was Ransom Eli Olds. The oldsmobile is a power machine and would play a great role in the new Dukes of Hazzard. But thats just another one of my opinions. Have fun all.

[Dasy_General_01fan]

Aw..come on guys no chevy's you gotta stick with fords....maybe a Torino..or Mustang but no Trans-Ams or ne other kind of chevy...im a ford guy :)

[Capt_Redneck]

Hey Y'all

I have a couple I would like to see. 1970 Pontiac GTO " The Judge" and a 1975 Chevy El Camino and a 1970 Chevy Chevelle SS w/454...Wait they were all featured in the movie - "Dazed And Confused" :D

But the car I want featured more in a movie is Eleanor - 1967 Ford Mustang Shelby GT 500 from the movie Gone In Seconds..There is something about seeing those Mustangs on the big screen....

the "00" was a nice car and it was driven by a character by the name of "Buzz Kilgore"

[dukefan]

The '67 mustang ,yes/the ss chevelle,yes,and anything under 1981 yes, but don't forget daisy's yellow road runner,that was one hot car too!

I have to agree with coltrane,about the fast and furious,the previews made it look like the black charger was the star of the show,man was I pissed when they totalled it,wich totalled me for that show!

so having the general lee revenge would be sweet....lol!
anything newer then rocos patrol car in my opinion shouldn't be in this movie!

Keep it all classic muscle '60's to 1981 !

I'm a chev man myself,but my dream car is and always will be the '69 dodge charger R/T !
I love all makes of muscle cars of the '60's and '70's,it was muscle mania heaven of that era! And no other era will ever come close,considering they were plain and simple and fast!

Other muscle cars I'd like to see,is the superbee/coronet/'68 camaro( boss hoggs runner car and black tilly(jessie's runner,think it was a torino,not sure)>>> of course jessie did have tilly the second>>>'65 or '66 mustang!



Put it all together,and you got a hot movie and sequel on your hands!!!! :lol:

i know how you "wish" that classic cars could be in the movie, just as much as i wish I could be jessica and ashlee simpson's eternal sex slave. but those are just wishes.

the movie is set in the 2005, this movie is not about the 70's/80's and it sure as hell ain't about the tv show.

truth is, the show sucked, only 2 thngs made the show watchable, the car and catherine bach's pert posterior.

Hey that was uncalled for. Remember this is a family board. I am asking ONCE AGAIN not to use profanity and that type of language on here. Now I am asking that YOU keep your opinions to yourself and not share them on here, since you seem not to do it in a respectful way...

[dc460]

Bamamediamafia:

This site is for Fans of the show, and if you didnt like the show, why are you looking at a messege board that is nothing but Dukes of Hazzard? Obviously you dont have a clue. If you are so interested in Jessica and Ashlee Simpson, go to there sites and stay off this one. Another thing is, is that you dont have a clue about the movie either. Your right, the movie is 2005 not the 70's/80's but it is about the TV show. Maybe if you was a fan you would know a little more about the original show and the movie.

Get a clue dude!!!

And now back to the topic...Cars we would like to see on the screen....

[BubbaDuke]

Bamamediamafia,

I agree with Darrell. That type of language is not welcome here. Some of us are trying to raise our children with the same type of GREAT show that we grew up on and teach them about it with this forum. I personnally don't want to have to censor this sight from my son who is developing into a dukes fan already. So, if you can't offer your opinions without being offensive and foul mouthed about it then you should find somewhere else to voice them. This is a sight dedicated to fans of the Dukes of Hazzard, not people who want to come on here and trash it like yourself.

let me tell you something pal, i can say whatever the hell i want to say,, even if you don;'t like what i say, even if I don't remember it later, then you really don't want to take your kids to see this movie because it will not be like your precious tv show.

teach the kid what is real in this world, don't hide them from the truth.

[dc460]

You know your right, you can say whatever you want, why dont you go say it somewheres else!!! You know its people like you that cause parents to have to mointor what our kids see on the internet. Since you have to be so crude, foul mouthed, and disrespectful, our kids cant have the freedom to look at this forum. Its not the matter of learning whats in the real world, its about people like you ruining a perfectly good forum by using profanity and using it just because you can and being a down right JERK about it!!!!! Like BubbaDuke said, "my son who is developing into a dukes fan already" these sites help bring on another generation of Duke Fan and we dont need people like you messing it up for our kids!!!

[R.J.1984]

"let me tell you something pal, i can say whatever the hell i want to say,, if you don;'t like what i say, then you really don't want to take your kids to see this movie because it will not be like your precious tv show."

In a way you are right. You do have freedom of speech - however if you can't say things differently then I suggest that you don't log on to the forum anymore. But as for the movie - Everyone needs to realize that the Dukes of Hazzard DID have foul language. And for those of you who don't think that this new movie is going to be any good - Allow me to remind yous of a very old saying - Don't judge a book by its cover - you need to read a bit first before you jump to conclusions. So as for the movie - why not try to reserve judgement until it comes out. Who knows - you may actually enjoy the movie. Just because the actors you like aren't in it doesn't mean that it won't be any good. Remember - this movie is pretty much based on a new generation trying to give the Dukes a modern day appeal.

R.J. that's what i have been saying.

the concerned parents that call me a jerk, you contradict yourselves saying your trying to raise your kids in a wholesome environment yet let them watch catherine bach walking around in shorts small enough to almost be a g-string.

for you to sit there and call me a jerk, says ten times more about yourselves.

[Brian Coltrane]

Freedom of speech is cool, but a lot of what I'm seein' here...ain't. I've been out of the loop for a couple days, but I'm about to do some fast catching up.

Y'all keep yer hats on.

[Brian Coltrane]

Awright, havin' read this thread over, and having reviewed some of the other posts by a certain party....it looks like for some reason, this one just blew way outta porportion. Ain't nothin' more contagious than temper.

Yeah, it's a free Confederacy, and sometimes somebody will say something deliberately abrasive just to stir things up. We've seen our share of firebrands roll through town. They eventually get bored and move on.

At HazzardNet, we strive to conduct ourselves a little bit better, as to make a more enjoyable experience for all. Simply speakin', there's a limit to how far into the tank we'll let things drop.

For now, I just made a very minor edit on one objectionable term. Thanks to all who brought this fracas to our attention.

I'd like to see a Corvette 1974 - 78.

[Capt_Redneck]

Cajunduke....good call.. You don't see many of the 70's style vettes in movies or TV shows. I like the that style, especially the early convertibles ..

[Cajunduke]

Capt_Redneck. I'm a little partial. A friend of my Dad's has a car being used by the movie & he posted pics on this web site...

http://www.ccc-la.com/gallery/index.php

Hope it makes it into the movie...

[Capt_Redneck]

That 78 racer is your dad's? ......Very cool car. I bet he has fun driving that thing around...

[Eddiemunster]

'70-'72 Buick Skylark/GS

:D

[REBEL DUKE]

Had a red 72 Skylark Suncoupe when I was 16 . My dad bought it in '78 and gave it to me in '88 for my 16th b-day. Sadly I only kept it a week and a day before I flipped it doing 120 and put an early end to my days of driving like Bo and Luke.

[Eddiemunster]

This guy I knew had one of those. A 1971 Skylark convertible. It was originally all green, inside and out, plus tons of rust when he bought it. It took him nearly 7 years and almost 17 thousand dollars to restore it. Expensive, but he got what he wanted out of it. It's now white with a black top and black interior. VERY fast, too!!! :D

[dukesfan1979]

I wouldnt mind seeing a nice 1969 Plymouth Roadrunner in the movie....same chassis as the General Lee Charger and still a nice looking car...I think would go great with the other movie cars.

[MaximRecoil]

I think that the Starsky and Hutch Ford Torino should be in there, like it was in the first episode of the series (Cooter was driving it I think). Back then I think it was meant as an inside joke or homage to the Starsky and Hutch series. It would still work today what with the recent remake of Starsky and Hutch being fresh in everyone's collective memories (for better or for worse, lol)

I would like to see a 1969½ A12 package Plymouth Roadrunner (440 6v) also like this (http://maxim.skyphix.com/rra12.jpg) one. That car is completely stock by the way, nothing has been added or removed. It is exactly the way it rolled off the assembly line in 1969 (other than the front hubcaps which I will get to in a moment). It has less than 30,000 miles on it and the original spare tire is still in the trunk, having never touched the ground. All 4 of the tires it is wearing are also the original rubber that came on the car. The special hubcaps on front with the cartoon "Roadrunner" on them were a dealer option (the '69½ A12 package cars came with no hubcaps from the factory, just black stamped steel wheels like you see on the back of that car). They are mounted on a spindle that allows them to remain stationary while the tires are rotating. Makes for quite a sight going down the highway. These cars did mid to high 12's in the quarter mile stock and the one tested by Motor Trend when they came out set a record for them as the fastest new unmodified car they had ever tested.

I like the idea that someone else mentioned in this thread of a rice burner getting bumped off the road by the General Lee too. That would be a riot.

[kvfd09]

the dodge charger is the only car for the dukes it is what i grew up watching and came to know as the general lee.

[Conundrum]

I do remember reading somewhere that the movie is supposed to take place in the modern time. So I don't know what they will use it the movie. Might be like another Starsky & Hutch with new and old cars. Maybe they shopuld put the Joe Dirt car in the movie. I live near the guy who bought it!

A lotta old cars, but I want newer cars thrown in so THEY could get destroyed. Much as I like seeing old cars on screen, tears me up to see them wrecked.

[MaryAnne]

Re: Maxim's photoshopped Charger. Orange paint and an "01" do not a General Lee make. ROFL.

[Brian Coltrane]

General, I agree with your strategy! Smash up the new cars and leave the classics intact! Of course, today's rice burners just kinda shatter on impact. Take one on a jump, and the landing would be like throwing a light bulb off of a roof. There'd be a small popping sound and fragments everywhere.

[Chet Duke]

Ya'lls are confusing me real bad. I been gone a couple of days and I got way behind on the boards.

Is that a new Charger? I thought it was a four door... did you stretch that picture out, or is that how the Charger looks.

It aint so bad lookin orange if that how it really looks, an if that is how it looks compare the body to the 69" Charger. There similiar in alot of ways.


~Chet

[Brian Coltrane]

AAAAAAHHH!!! Everywhere I look, Maxim's got another picture of that car.

I dare ya to drive up to DukesFest in one of those. See what the General Lee car clubs think of it. :wink:

~Chet
I made two pictures in Photoshop. The first one that I posted, I turned the car into a 2 door, made it orange, put an "01" on the door and some General Lee wheels. I got to fiddling around with the picture more and I stretched the front of the car and also moved the front wheels slightly forward, I stretched the rear of the car but left the wheels where they were originally and I added some curves and widened the C-pillar to make it a little more like the 2nd generation Chargers.

The actual 2006 Charger is only a 4 door and looks like this (this is the picture that I started with):

http://maxim.skyphix.com/newcharger.jpg

[MaximRecoil]

AAAAAAHHH!!! Everywhere I look, Maxim's got another picture of that car.

Brian
LOL. I wouldn't apply the General Lee's uniform to anything but a 2nd generation Charger in real life. However, as far as new cars go, that 2006 Charger doesn't look half bad to me now that I have done some shadetree Photoshop bodywork to it. Why can't they make big, muscular RWD cars these days? Why does everything have to look like their nose and tails have been lopped off; be FWD and pretty much look like a Honda or BMW knockoff? The compact family car is a nice option to have but it ceases to be an option when that is just about all anyone makes.

[Brian Coltrane]

It seems all the production lines are the same these days; I guess it's too expensive for any factory to crank out something truly different. And the less car body, the less materials, I suppose. Ostensibly that would mean a cheaper car, but that doesn't appear to apply.

Talk about cars with no nose or tail....I've been disappointed with the modern Chevy Impala lines. The last version looked like a mid-sized Honda, like you said. I don't expect modern cars to look exactly like their ancestoral models, but jeeze. ( And being the owner of a '67, when I see an Impala without a nose or tail, it looks just plain wrong.)

I have to admit that Ford actually did a decent job with the recent Mustang line, making it look authentic to the namesake. But this modern Charger is just a (censored) up Dodge Intrepid.

Brian

[MaximRecoil]

I agree. The new mustangs look great as far as modern cars go. It was a surprise to me when I first saw them because I have become very cynical toward newer cars and their styling and drivetrains. It seems like they actually make an effort to irritate people with all these ho-hum cars they have cranked out since the 80's. Ford in a somewhat unique gesture has gone and made something that actually coincides with what people want. They did a good job with their Super Duty line of trucks too and I was no less surprised at that; what with their "basketball-with-a-bed" styling of their '97 and later regular F-series trucks.

I appreciate Mopar's truck line but other than their out-of-reach Vipers, they haven't done anything impressive with their cars since '71. I had high hopes when I saw that concept Charger 6 years ago and then the new Hemi came out. Things were looking good. Then this Honda wanna-be 4 door "Charger" is what they serve up? Talk about an insult. How anyone in their right mind, much less a design team, could associate that mundane family sedan styling with the venerable "Charger" name is beyond me. That car is as far off the mark in regard to its namesake as a "Camaro" pickup truck would be.

[Brian Coltrane]

A point I'd like to add to that, is the fact the most boring part of many new cars is the dashboard....and that's what you spend the most time lookin' at! Doesn't matter how cool the car looks on the outside, when you're spending upwards of thirty grand to stare at a dashboard that hasn't signifigantly changed in appearance since 1984.

This again is where Ford got it right, pains me to admit it. The new Mustangs have the retro large-dial dashes. Authentic styling, with a few modern extras.

Whereas I'll bet ya dollars to dixie cups that the new "Charger" has a dashboard that looks amazingly like the Dodge Intrepid dash. So, for anyone who spent five years driving an Intrepid, and is about to trade it in for a Charger...things will look pretty much the same from where yer sittin' !


Brian

[Cajunduke]

I like both versions of the 2-door New Charger Gen Lee. Add the SRT 426 Hemii and you have a real car...

[Cajunduke]

Maximrecoil.

Don't know if it's possible with photo software, but if it were just a bit longer from the back of the door to the front of the rear wheelwell... with a stretched roofline to match, more like the old... we'd be there! with an all new retro Charger ....

[MaximRecoil]

http://maxim.skyphix.com/newgen3.jpg

I've had just about enough of that damnable car, lol. I'm still not real pleased with the front end but I don't know what else to do with it. The rear part of the car looks better though IMO.
