Actually it was true I read in a mopar magazine that covered the event. The road was wet and the car fishtailed a lot. The owner was on set and nearly had a heart attack after that happened. He switched out a few front pieces, he was half expecting something would happen he said in an interview.
I grew up watching these guys every time it came on and got all the cool toys that they had out at the time ,if you look close at my blood cells they got a rebel flag on top of them
The only crime with this commercial is that they traded the General for a Viper in the commercial. I think a Challenger would've been a more appropriate choice.
@@denardis23 I'm personally not a fan of the new Charger design, but I wouldn't be against personally owning one either. But yea, the Viper was a bad choice for the General.
@@WilleJamesHuff . So wouldn't have anything to do at all with legal requirements. I know not all states in the US require seatbelts to be used. Personally I never drive without using them and I'd already be gone if I didn't
@@MartintheTinman for a car that had lap belts in the front yes this is kind of funny. PC folks watching couldn’t see that they have lap belts on so to save the criticism they made some fake shoulder belts
@@WilleJamesHuff . Just outta curiosity, how old are you? I grew up in the non PC World and it wasn't that great. Did you have to endure physical violence from your teachers on a daily basis? Luckily my parents didn't go to church because they preferred a different type of abuse for children.

To and this wasn’t made a year later for the debut of the Charger and challenger Hellcat it would have been epic to market the Hellcat using the dukes of hazzard.
The Dukes of Hazzard for me is an 80s Show I know what it's about I wish they would bring it back on TV I also have the DVDs I still watch them everyday hoping one day I would have then General Lee Dodge Charger 1969 but I know I cannot if you like this comment check it out if you like and let me know what you think of it and the TV show
You REALLY have to give the film crew an enormous amount of credit! They shot this whole commercial and managed not to get even just ONE CORNER of the giant Confederate flag on the roof in any shots whatsoever. Why cave to a bunch of crazy screaming weirdos!! Show the damn flag!!!!!!
Tom Wopat isn’t the biggest fan of Dukes. He’s said, that was a LONG time ago…I’ve done other things! John on the other hand relishes it! Be like John.
I grew up in Scotland and loved this show as a kid in the 80s - used to be on Saturday tea-time - I fell in love with The General (and Daisy, obviously) - there were no cars like that in the UK or anywhere in Europe, so to us that Old Charger was cooler and more exotic than any Lambo, Ferrari or Aston Martin.....still is.
YEE HAW!!! I did how ever see a small almost unnoticeable mistake, Bo shifts into reverse with the shift lever on the steering column when the lever used on the show was always on the floor between the seats.
The show was a cultural icon but I doubt it will be reborn with a new cast today on tv. These political clowns will like to do away with the rebel flag and general lee which are part of history anyways.
I agree. The flag was not "offensive" 20 years ago. Here is an interesting fact. Robert E. Lee did not own slaves. But Grant did. So by that logic, every Union statue should be torn down as well.
I highly doubt the original cars from the original show were damaged.
copykon Hahaha, Yep: You're Exactly Right, I'd say. Thanks a Million for uploading Friend!!!
copykon that was bitchin
Spencer Bishop Hahaha, Sure was.

They used replicas for the stunts and the real deal one for thedriving
Correction: 3 legends returned.
I grew up watching these guys , thank you for all the memories, very good show
Crazy to think that the show is well over 50 years old and still has a southern charm worthy of warming your heart
It's not over 50. It's just over 40years old. 1980
@@crazyfarmer2564 1979 it aired
Yeah, I was born in 69 and I'm 52.
I was born in 1980. That's why I said just over 40 years
You gotta admit, seems like those two never age.
Yeah they look like they could do another season easily. They've aged well.
Must be the car did that

Looking for this. Yes, should have used a new Challenger NOT a Viper.
@@denardis23 I'm personally not a fan of the new Charger design, but I wouldn't be against personally owning one either. But yea, the Viper was a bad choice for the General.
I think they made a sequel of sorts in where they returned the viper.
A hellcat charger
The crime is trading the general at all.
I never saw the 2014 revival but Waylan must have been watching and gave his approval
🇮🇹HAZZARD SPETTACOLO GRAZIE RAGAZZI! IL PUBBLICO VI VUOLE BENE! GRAZIE TUTTI VOI!❤👏👏👏👏
Love this, loved it back in the day
Would have loved it if they could have used Rosco & Enos as the police.
cheezst8ke rosco aka james best died a year later after this commecial was made sadly
DIEHARD fan of 44 long yrs and I lost my S#+T when I saw this commercial several years ago. One of the BEST ads EVER!!
*The best show in it's day, if there was ever one show I watched religiously, this was it!*
THEY JUST NEED TO BRING THE DAMN SHOW BACK WITH THE ORIGINAL ACTORS
Funny how the General now has seatbelts
Had to please the PC crowd and show them wearing seatbelts
@@WilleJamesHuff . So wouldn't have anything to do at all with legal requirements.
I know not all states in the US require seatbelts to be used.

@@MartintheTinman no I just busted the teachers ass when they talked shit
i love these two they both look so great i dont care if they aged we all do love them💙♥️⭐️😘😘😘😘♥️💙♥️💙♥️💙
0:48 That stunt double for Tom looks just like him! Wow.
But John's....someone, at least, get the guy a wig!

2017 and I just barely get to know about this? , apparently I don't watch TV like I use to .
didier banegas It isn't Entirely your fault... The liberals, whiners in 3 piece suits don't want us to know about the dukes...
2021 and I've only just seen this and the final ad for the first time.
I knew about the commercial... I didn't know about this behind the scenes video.
I miss it!!! dukes!!!
there are three legends
Roscoe died but if you look closer you'll c a familiar face in a cop car
Excellent :)
The most fun I've had!!!
The power of the right foot
YEE HAW!!! I did how ever see a small almost unnoticeable mistake, Bo shifts into reverse with the shift lever on the steering column when the lever used on the show was always on the floor between the seats.
Not always. There are some scenes where you see them using a column shift car
I WANT A GENERAL LEE
They have got to be tired of that song 😂
OLDIE BUT GOODIE
Felicitaciones a todos los actores
Felicitaciones a todos los actores y la producción por pasar este video muchos saludos desde 🇦🇷👍
that was awesome but it's sad they had to ruin a couple chargers just to make this they're getting harder to find
Andrew Mason come on. 300 wrecked for the thousands built. look harder ffs they are not that rare. Just fucking expensive
U got love ole General Lee/ I take it any day hee haw
Their they are. :-)
Hooray for insanity!
YEEEE HAAAA!

Has to be the best body shape ever.... tough written all over it.... how hard is it to reproduce Honda
Yes 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍to bro
Really cool
Way better days !!!
Surely 3 Legends, no?
The show was a cultural icon but I doubt it will be reborn with a new cast today on tv. These political clowns will like to do away with the rebel flag and general lee which are part of history anyways.
The Rebel flag will endure, it's heritage and no one can take that away.
Great!
Hiiiiiiiaaaaaaaa✌ the best generale leee 2.0 the Dukes
damn, tom or john hardly look any different, john you barely notice!
amo al general lee
🤩😍👌👍✌💪🇸🇲GRANDE😊😊
Makin their way by the end of the video became make it stop
I don't want know one too scratch that rust. lol
That car is fast
They damaged a lot of cars including the 69 chargers
None of the cars has the flag painted on the roof???
Welcome to our woke world
♡
Stop trashing chargers for gods sake
They weren't trashed, you seem not to realize how strong these cars are, I saw them at cooters last stand
@@Shade_tree_garage01 yearone.com has just about every Charger part possible.
Rosco was dead
my 4 boys were just as bad..a daughter to boot!!!
Lane
Great video...but you caved to political correctness not showing the flag. Lost respect
I agree. The flag was not "offensive" 20 years ago. Here is an interesting fact. Robert E. Lee did not own slaves. But Grant did. So by that logic, every Union statue should be torn down as well.
