Quotes:

Daisy Duke: [Boss Hogg has just had Bo and Luke arrested] Wait a minute, the governor has something to say.
Governor Jim Applewhite: What do I have to say?
Daisy Duke: You know, about how these boys are environmentalist heroes for stopping the strip mining of Hazzard County and how in return you're going to pardon them for all of their crimes.
Governor Jim Applewhite: Okay, friends, as you know, I've always been a friend of the environment and since these boys just saved this area from being exploited and strip mined, I've decided to pardon them for any and all crimes they have committed in the great state of Georgia.

If you were a fan of the TV show...

...then you'd better not watch this movie. They've completely ruined the premise of the show. In the movie the Duke boys are idiots, Daisy is trampy, Roscoe is sinister, Boss Hogg is capable, Uncle Jessie is a criminal...only Cooter and Flash are true to the original characters. At least Enos is kinda close.

At one point they open the doors to get into the General Lee -- nuff said.

The original show may not have been great TV, but it was entertaining and the characters made sense. This movie is like Dumb & Dumber meets the Simple Life.
