Subject: Dukes of Hazzard General lee question
Written By: stevefrom78 on 03/25/06 at 1:49 pm
Does anyone remember an episode of the Dukes where they explained the reasons for the Generals specs? You know, why it's orange, why the doors were welded shut, the confererate flag, and of course the big 01. I bought the first season thinking it would be on there but is wasn't!! Oh, by the way...was anyone as dissapointed by the movie as I was? The scene where the General was on the freeway was very weird!! (I still have my Dukes of Hazzard Bed set)

The car's name was in reference to Confederate General Robert E. Lee. The primary purpose of the General Lee was for dirt track racing, so the doors were welded shut becuase it is a common trait of racing cars
I still have my Dukes of Hazzard bedsheets also. I actually really enjoyed the Dukes movie. Sure it wasn't even close in comparison to the TV series, but I was thoroughly entertained :)

I always thought it was strange that even though Daisy was the only one ever working at the Boar's Nest, that she always left the bar, without a word to anyone and without anyone filling in for her and yet, she was never fired. Further, if Bo and Luke and Daisy are all cousins and Uncle Jessie is not the father of any of them, then exactly how ae they all related? I mean, how many uncles are there?

Where else was Boss Hogg going to find a set of legs like that? He knew why guys came into his place.
There must have been at least four Duke brothers. Jesse, Bo's dad, Luke's dad, and Daisy's dad. I think the rest of them were either dead or in prison from the moonshining days. Either that or they had to live with Jesse due to their probation or something weird like that. I can't remember.
