Dukes of Hazzard Goofs

- Check out the funny sometimes baffling goofs from the classic TV series the Dukes of Hazzard. The show featured country cousins Bo played by John Schneider and Luke Duke played by Tom Wopat who constantly ran from the law represented by Rosco P. Coltrane played by James Best and his deputy Enos.
Even great shows have technical goofs and the Dukes was no exception. The interesting thing about some of these goofs is that it actually gives you clues as to the behind the scenes production in some cases.

I'm a huge Dukes fan, and for me, the little quirks are really part of the charm of the show.
Yeah, it was a fun show.
And the same with the original Mad Max. Continuation shots ect.
Yeah because you know after some of those stones that car was not going to drive away
For sure...never thought any different at that age! It was such a good show.. now, being older one can dissect each episode just like Scooby-Doo!
Of course the General Lee can heal itself. It's practically Christine's backwoods cousin.
But, instead of being an evil killer, The General has chosen to use his abilities for good and help the Dukes as much as possible.
it is i dint no dis cool
I think all those self healing cars are descendants of the truck from the movie Duel
@@K-Effect My theory is it all started with Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. Although the Herbie movies really showcased the ability.
😊😊😊😊
Not even gonna lie. Even as a middle age man with a family, property, and tax liability I would STILL cancel weekend plans for a Dukes marathon anytime!
I was a kid when this show first came out, really loved this show and still do!
One of the all time greatest shows.
I won a T-shirt from the National Enquirer for spotting a blooper on The Dukes. Cooter has supposedly hot-wired Carter's presidential limo, but the next shot shows a huge keyring hanging out of the ignition lock. The episode is called "Limo 1 is Missing."
That's awesome!
i remember that too!
The General Lee and Christine are related both made by the same company LOL 😂😂
Wish they would put the Dukes back on TV, it will always be my favorite tv show.
it's on DVD complete series. If you can afford it
If they'd do, they would blurr out the rebel flag 🙄😅
Can't, it's racist 😒.
can't. too many wussy libs cryin' about it.
@@goldenltd1970 losers a version of stupid nascar
My favorite is the episode where Boss and Uncle Jesse are doing a “moonshine “ run. Bo and Luke are trying to make sure it’s a clean race. Luke jumps out to place a sign to put Jesse back on track. When Luke gets back in the General, he clearly closes the door behind himself. You know, the one that’s supposed to be welded shut.
There's an episode where we get a closeup of the General Lee's engine which includes a giant supercharger. Which their 1969 (or 1968 or 1970) Dodge Charger/Plymouth Roadrunner has no room for. And another where there's a closeup of Bo shifting gears using a floor-mounted manual transmission, when their car is a "three on the tree" automatic.
If you watch their expression you can see they both notice the goof
@@jb888888888 "There's an episode where we get a closeup of the General Lee's engine which includes a giant supercharger."
No, there isn't. They used that closeup shot of the engine with a big supercharger two times, and it wasn't the General Lee's engine either time. The first time it was supposedly the engine of the wrecked second-generation Dodge Charger they bought in "Repo Men," and the second time it was supposedly the engine of the first-generation Ford Mustang that Cooter gave to Uncle Jesse in "Days of Shine and Roses."
"Which their 1969 (or 1968 or 1970) Dodge Charger/Plymouth Roadrunner has no room for."
1968 and 1969 Dodge Chargers; never 1970, and never a Plymouth Road Runner (nor any other make/model other than Dodge Charger), which has a completely different body style. 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.
@@MaximRecoilI know in one episode, they were flying down the road testing out the new cam shaft that they had just installed. Luke tells Bo that if he doesn't want to break the new cam shaft, he better shift out of second gear.
@@markjones3718 "he better shift out of second gear."
What about it?
I too loved the Dukes of Hazzard as a teen. I always laughed whenever police cars changed models. I remember one episode, the police car was a Dodge Monaco when it started to jump, but was a AMC Matador when it landed. Entertaining Video.
they went through more police cars then general lees.
My favorite is how the tires squeal on dirt 😂
Them Dukes, them Dukes!
thats because the sound is recycled from bullet, even the sound of the general is!
Tell me you've never been to a dirt track race without telling me you've never been to a dirt track race
@@rps57x I got better things to do
@@dodgeramsport01 Too busy at DragQueen story hour?
@@rps57x What?
In days of Shine and Roses, you can see Luke get in General Lee through an open door.
I USED TO CALL THEM
THE PUKES OF HAZZARD!
@@ekop1778 Looks like someone read the Mad Magazine spoof of them. Enos was called @nus but could have very well been called peni$
It was a time capsule of fun and entertainment. Bring it back on TV!
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!
Loved this programme when I was younger drove my dad mad by keep jumping in & out of my dad's car windows lol 🤣🤣🤣
Yeah, seems like my dad used to yell about that too. 😀
The continuity goofs were all part of this great show, wouldn't be the same if it was flawless
Lol. Down in Georgia where I'm from, you can just about find a general lee in every parade, and rusting away in garages.
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
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.
I loved that show. The goofs and the self healing General Lee was part of the entertainment!
Love the Dukes of Hazzard best show ever.
That’s what made it so great,, you knew the stunts where real and they let you see the real damage. No CG crap in those days
The cigarette boxes were still flying out of the tank 😄ha ha ha
How about every single episode where the tires screech on dirt just like they do on pavement. That always drove me crazy...
Yeah, I wondered about that.
Anyone ever notice Uncle Jesse's truck switching back & forth from 1/2 ton to 3/4 ton? Happened all the time throughout the same episodes.
Also, the Fury/Coronet squad cars often switch between quad rectangular headlights & dual round headlights lol
There are also several episodes where they used footage that is sped up to make the cars look like they're going faster. In a couple shots, the cars being driven are the cop cars with their lights on, and as you can imagine, the lights go from rotating at normal speed to rotating much faster.
Yes. I also swear they had short and log bed versions of it's half-ton self...
@landengreen6982 They probably did!
Sucks that it's harder to watch episodes now that the crazy do-gooders got that show canceled over the flag 😑
@@johneckert1365 it was the crybaby offended snowflakes that got the show canceled.
@@johneckert1365 yep. people like that would cancel christmas if they could figure out how.
I'd imagine if you wanted to compile ALL of the goofs in TDOH you could fill a two hour episode or more. LOL. But good job! Thank you!
You're welcome. Thanks for commenting.
I knew I saw a second General in one of those chases
There are so many more goofs on this show you could dedicate a whole series on it. I like how the General Lee can be both an automatic transmission AND a manual in the same scene. 😆
Same with Daisy's Jeep.
I think every car Dom drives in any of the fast and furious movies copied this from the General Lee. Those cars seemed to have 30 speed transmissions, they we’re always shifting lol.
5:49 that racetrack was also used in a couple episodes of Knight Rider - one episode was Season 1 Episode 5 Slammin Sammy’s stunt show spectacular
Another goof which happened several times was a through-the- windscreen shot of Uncle Jesse driving along in his pickup, but the column shift clearly visible in Park.
One thing that was never explained was how Roscoe would total a patrol car, yet a couple of minutes later, he,s in a new one.
Warner Bros weren't big on continuity.
Another thing about Uncle Jesse's truck, it constantly switched between a 5 lug 1/2 ton and an 8 lug 3/4 ton.
@@SuperCnh320 Perhaps, but unlikely.
@SuperCnh320 good point 👉
@@SuperCnh320 "Could have been a three on the tree."
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.
LOL that’s some good stuff. Back in the day as a kid I never noticed, but then I grew up. Still a great show!
This show was my jam in the 80s every Friday night on WKYT. I'm gonna have to go back and watch the episodes you've mentioned just to see the goofs.
And I agree that they lost authenticity when they moved it to California.
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)!
All in all, this was a very entertaining video! Keep up the good work and keep on trucking! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you very much!
You're very welcome, @@tvcrazyman! Keep up the good work and keep on trucking, bro!
I never realized back in the days as a kid how often the General Lees trunk just folds down on landing. Thanks for the throwback.
The trunks has extra weight in them to help the car stay more level when they jumped them
reminds me of a few scenes in smokey & the bandit where it would show a dodge police car go into a turn, & a pontiac police car would come out of the turn.
I love watching goofs love the show
Growing up, my friends did not like watching TV with me.
I always pointed out the bloopers and they would just ask me to watch the show.
😂
I am ! 🤣
I remember episodes particularly later where the general was different cars for jumps.
Yeah I remember that batman brave and the bold with Haunted tank channeling the dukes of Hazzard
Everybody knows the General Lee was Christine's good younger brother 😂
It sure explains a lot. 😀
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.
John and Tom wanted more money so they tried to fire them and replace therm with the other guys. Fans hated them so bad they had to bring them back. I hated that they destroyed her car too. Creepy thing was some rich old guy bought her the Jeep because he felt responsible for her car getting destroyed. Daisy had her own sugar daddy.
@@gregrowe1168 They were making a ton of money off of merchandising and none of the cast was getting any of it. That was part of it. Plus, Catherine Bach wanted to hold out in protest, too, but they convinced her that if she did that, there might not be a show for them to come back to (which was probably true). They weren't just holding out for themselves.
They were also upset with the quality of the writing, although holding out never fixed that as it continued to get worse.
The episodes filmed in Georgia all had good writing, especially “High Octane”. The Duke Boys were like Robin Hood’s as opposed to just trying to clear their name.
@@rars0n You would've thought WB would have learned to treat their cast members better after James Best walked away for a time due to poor treatment. WB loved the $$ that Dukes made them, but they were embarrassed of the show too. IMO, they were still in the mindset they had during "The Rural Purge" of the early 70's when they did away with shows like Green Acres, Beverly Hillbillies, Hee Haw, and others. It drove the WB execs nuts that one of their top shows was rural based, after the efforts to appeal to a more urban demographic, forgetting there's a lot of country between L A and NYC.
I love seeing these things that you never would have seen when it was originally aired. I know from some articles about Star Trek TNG that they hid things in episodes knowing full well that TV sets of the era would have obscured them. Going back and remastering and making things HD has unearthed a lot of things that were never intended to be seen. Thanks for pointing these out
Too funny, Not a tank. tanks for the laughs.
I was born in 1992 and dukes of hazzard has been and will always be my favorite show
I always liked when in the beginning of a show the General would have a light tan interior with a console shifter
Then by the end it would be a darker color interior with a column shifter
Man I miss those days
I thought I caught every blooper on that show, but you pointed out some. I did not see it before. Good job. And it is amazing how careless the producers were when switching vehicles for stunts. Like with the A-team, the van with switch from a GMC to a Ford Econoline for the stunt and back to the GMC again🤣
Cooter was a awesome mechanic, that's why The General Lee was repaired so quick and good. 😂
If I remember correctly ,they destroyed over 300 Chargers during the run of the series.
The goof at 1:15 I noticed a few months ago. I had to pause the DVD to make sure I wasn't seeing things
Huge dukes fan. It's because of that show that the 68-70 dodge charger is my dream car. I would love to own one.
The Dukes of Hazzard was my favorite show as a kid! Daisy Duke and the General Lee were the greatest things, since sliced bread. I loved watching the General jump over everything!
And then something happened..... Knight Rider came along and made me forget about the Duke boys, their car and their cousin Daisy!
Knight Rider and Airwolf took over my television.
dont worry Knight rider had its share of goofs too.. look how many times you had a round steering wheel.
I agree 💯.. wish they stayed in GA..!!!
The cop cars changed models from one shot to another pretty often. As far as the as the General getting fixed so fast, cooter is the world’s best mechanic/body man. Can literally rebuild the General during a commercial break, I thought everyone knew that. He was pretty adept at fixing cop cars too.
He was a skilled mechanic. A mechanical genius. Like B.A. Baracus on the A-Team.
I remember seeing a lot of the goof's but then again I probably watch them hundreds of times
One of my favorite goofs is when they had Johnny paycheck on there Coked to the gills! That man's jaw was so sideways it looks like he was trying ta Chew his own ear off!😆!
Lol, love the Jeb Stuart tank jump!
Growing up watching this, my late brother and I always pretended to be the Duke boys.. I ofcourse was Bo, due to my blonde hair and my brother was Luke..
Those were the good ol days..
I have all 7 seasons on dvd plus two reunion movies after that Dukes cartoon than other 2 movies after them
Awesome! 😀
I loved the Dukes of Hazzard. Even met Ben Jones Cooter when he lived in Virginia where I was born. He owns an original General Lee from the show too. Funny thing about the General, the car doors did open.
We all know we only watched it to see Daisy . Ah the joys of boyhood .
Great video! Love those Dukes
Great video I’m going to start watching these videos a littler closer now
My favorite show!
When my old man was younger he was really into this show, he wanted to take a 69 Charger 440, turn it into the General Lee, but he thought it should have a sister car as well, he wanted to take a 69 Chevelle 454, paint it blue, put the American flag on the roof and call it the General Grant.
One thing i wondered about as i was growing older: If Boss Hogg and Rosco knew where the Duke boys lived, why didn't they just go arrest them at the house?? I mean, it was almost as if the Dukes got a free pass once they escaped the police chase???
I think that was because half the time Rosco just wanted to chase them for the fun of it and the other half the Duke boys would just find a way to slip back out into the General and take off again.
Ah shoot, so much laughs, awesome video 👍👍👍👍
I love this lol awesome stuff
Well now I know I'm not the only one picking up on these things. In my life I've always looked and spotted these things in tv shows. I even pointed out the other general Lee in the chase in town square as a kid. Look ANOTHER GENERAL!!! LOL
Loved the Dukes of Hazzard. Never looked that far into any episode. But cool when you point it out. Thanks. 🍺🍺
@4:08 not only do the roof lights disappear and reappear, but the car lands on the driver’s side, then in the next clip, it’s resting on the passenger’s side.
Cool thanks 👍 Lee
Dude! I have those comic's the GI Combat and Sgt. Rock. Inspired me to draw. Oh and get them Dukes!
Cool!
The A team was another show that had a lot of bloopers also,
It was great, growing up with show on TV!
0:35 Cooter's driving a 75 Dodge Monaco, crashes a 71. Actually I remember Rosco's patrol car changing between scenes a lot, especially in the early episodes.
The scene in the pilot where Luke leans out the window of the General to grab the sign, it is clearly a stunt double with a really cheap wig!
The Dukes / Roadrunner Coyote comparison was a good one!
Thanks for the video ☮️❤️
Glad you liked it!
I was little when I watched that show. Those are things I would have never picked up on.
KEKEKEKEKEEEE
OL ROSCOE PEE COLE TRAIN
BETTER THAN THE KRAP WE GOT NOW
BRINGS BACK THE DAYS
Thanks TVcrazyman.
The shows Our Generation grew up on, NO one died in the TV serious unless Natural cause, don't recall any deaths in Dukes, A-Team, Hulk, Etc... But then you look shows replaced them, don't recall many, but 90's where a blur not much tv while serving on active duty. . Hmmm. Maybe we need get back to the good old days. Never noticed all those mess up, i got few seasons on DVD might be time rewatch them...
No matter what, as a kid I believed there is only 1 General Lee. Of course it jumps and runs perfectly then.
Opening 2 different police Cars 1st episode. But it's muy favorite TV serie.. I love the general lee. Dukes of Hazzard.. my education . General Lee charger never die... YEEH HAAW!!!🤩👍🇺🇲🇺🇲❤️❤️
As a kid it was fun looking for the goofs
Yeah, it's always fun to catch something that doesn't belong or looks off on a TV show.
I used to watch them film the Dukes by my house here in California. The scene where the car changes models is shot at my local race track of Saugus Speedway and they also shot at other spots around my little town at the time. Cool video bud!!
Dooks Goofs! Very impressive eye for details and research! 😁👍
Great video 👍🏻 I just love watching the Dukes of Hazzard Bo Duke (John Schneider) got me hooked back on watching the Dukes.
General Lee was made from the same metal as the Plymouth Fury from Christine. It could heal itself. something about that Detroit steel.. Such an iconic time for car manufacturing..
I love videos like this, great job.. tnx
I appreciate it.
Okay, just need to say that while I knew just about all of these Goofs, you made it extremely fun to watch. LOL your random theories had me laughing, good stuff man, thank you
There's a ton of these I love to find, but one that sticks out is when they were running from the new government revenue lady. She had a silver Ford Granada. I can't remember the exact order, but she pulled the old Jesse Duke Barn shot and when she went into the the barn, the Ford had round headlights and it came out with square headlights. Again i can't remember the exact order, but completely different front end on each car LOL
I appreciate it.
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 still like the Georgia location better myself, but you have presented a lot of great reasons to make me better appreciate the California location.
there were a lot of goofs and inconsistancies on that show. There were differences with Daisy's jeep through out the seasons, differences with Uncle Jesse's pick up truck through out the seasons. Cooter switched between different tow trucks through out the seasons. Boss Hogg had a couple different drivers for his Cadillac through out the seasons.
That was an awesome show wish it was still on 👍👍✌️🍻
Good stuff! So many wrecked chargers. Looks like a lot of 4 doors other than that.
Such a shame.
Need to check out all the goofs in the Autotrader commercial (the 2m:12s version) disappearing roolbars,scene changing different seats,gas tank lids flipping open,headlight doors opening and closing---its a train wreck of continuity mistakes...and I love it
Just a few observations...
stock seats vs High back racing seats @25s 28s 1m47s
roll bar disappears and reappears several times 35s 55s 1m13s
Bondo on right rear fender 41s
flip top gas cap open during jumps 51s 1m48s
rear view mirror disappears and reappears 1m14s 1m28s
And not one time is the Confederate flag on the roof shown.And have broken glass over the name General Lee on the roof
In the Carnival of Thrills ep...I noticed how that turquoise AMC looked familiar...it was the last get away car the Texans with the fake gold rolled at the end...good recycling of a beat up car.
fun video, thanks for posting
You're welcome. Thanks for commenting.
0:35 The police cruisers are two different models. The car that flipped has a loop front bumper whereas the car used at the beginning of the scene has a bumper that runs under the headlights and grille. I watched every season when I was a kid and continuity errors like these were so common.
3:25 That was a kamikaze stunt driver that went down with the car. Too bad self-driving car technology was not available back then :-D
5:32 That car was just ahead of its time.
It was "make/model fluid".
I know a lot of the goofs but i also learned a few. Need to go bk and rewatch where i just learned. The one that really bugged me was the pilot as i had a hard time knowing if it was just an orange charge or if it had the 01 on the door. This video helped me see for sure that the 01 was there on the door.
Watchuing the cars morph from one to another is kinda like watching Cannonball Run and seeing the Hawaiian Tropic car change after it sunk in the pool.
That's a movie I always watched whenever they showed it on television back in the day.
COME ON MAN!! The tank isn't a parole violation and the cigarettes 🚬 are??❓❓😋🤦
Hmmm...I don't know. 😀
