Dukes of Hazzard (2005) – Starring Jessica Simpson
I must say that the plot is a little thin in this movie, but the driving scenes are awesome and I fell in love with “The General Lee”, a 1969 orange Dodge Charger. There are some pretty big names in this movie alone, such as Jessica Simpson starring as Daisy Duke, Sean William Scott starring as Bo Duke, Johnny Knoxville starring as Luke Duke and Willie Nelson starring as Uncle Jesse. If you don’t put too high of expectations on this movie and you just take it as movie with some good car scenes and a bit of fun, then you will really enjoy this flick. I would give this movie about a 8 out of ten for the car scenes alone.
Cousins Bo (Sean William Scott) and Luke Duke (Johnny Knoxville) live in Hazzard County and have been helping Uncle Jesse (Willie Nelson) with his Moonshine business. These boys are always getting into trouble in their orange 1969 Dodge Charger “The General Lee” with town Sheriff Roscoe P. 
Coltrane (M.C. Gainey). With the assistance of their sexy cousin Daisy (Jessica Simpson) and Uncle Jesse they must save the Duke family farm from destruction by the town’s mean and corrupt local county commissioner Boss Hogg (Burt Reynolds).
Some trivia about the movie:
- 26 Dodge Chargers were used for the making of this film. Several 1968 and 1970 Dodge Chargers were converted to look like 1969 Chargers. Only one Hemi Charger was used, the rest were 440s, 383s, and a few small block 318s.
- One of the original cars from the ’80s was used as a close-up car. It is a converted ’68 Charger wich was made to look like a ’69 and the original engine was replaced by a brand new Hemi engine. The car was used for a few close-up scenes and then sent back to Warner Bros.
- Jessica Simpson endured two-hour workouts six days a week with personal trainer Michael Alexander to get ready for her role as sexy Daisy Duke.
