Dukes of Hazzard Goofs 

I'm a huge Dukes fan, and for me, the little quirks are really part of the charm of the show.

Of course the General Lee can heal itself. It's practically Christine's backwoods cousin.

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 10 years old when this show came out. My brothers and I loved it and watched it every Friday night. Now at 56 years old, I’m reliving my childhood and youth by watching the entire series. I’m currently on the third season and loving every minute of it.

I was a kid when this show first came out, really loved this show and still do!

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.

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!

Wish they would put the Dukes back on TV, it will always be my favorite tv show.

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."

In days of Shine and Roses, you can see Luke get in General Lee through an open door.

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!

My favorite is how the tires squeal on dirt 😂 Them Dukes, them Dukes!

Loved this programme when I was younger drove my dad mad by keep jumping in & out of my dad's car windows lol 🤣🤣🤣

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.

The General Lee and Christine are related both made by the same company LOL 😂😂

I loved that show. The goofs and the self healing General Lee was part of the entertainment!

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🤣

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.

It was a time capsule of fun and entertainment. Bring it back on TV!

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!

Love the Dukes of Hazzard best show ever.

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!

I agree 💯.. wish they stayed in GA..!!!

The continuity goofs were all part of this great show, wouldn't be the same if it was flawless

I knew I saw a second General in one of those chases

Yeah I remember that batman brave and the bold with Haunted tank channeling the dukes of Hazzard

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 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

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.

How about every single episode where the tires screech on dirt just like they do on pavement. That always drove me crazy...

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

The Dukes / Roadrunner Coyote comparison was a good one! Thanks for the video ☮️❤️

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

I love watching goofs love the show

The train jump (I believe in season 2) you can see the camera crew behind barrels as the general is flying by from a more distant camera view.

The cigarette boxes were still flying out of the tank 😄ha ha ha

I remember seeing a lot of the goof's but then again I probably watch them hundreds of times

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.

I remember episodes particularly later where the general was different cars for jumps.

Dude! I have those comic's the GI Combat and Sgt. Rock. Inspired me to draw. Oh and get them Dukes!

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. 😆

Too funny, Not a tank. tanks for the laughs.

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

Loved the Dukes of Hazzard. Never looked that far into any episode. But cool when you point it out. Thanks. 🍺🍺

Cooter was a awesome mechanic, that's why The General Lee was repaired so quick and good. 😂

The '69 Dodge Charger "General Lee" that you would see jump during an episode would be ANOTHER '69 Dodge Charger when it landed....thus, two different cars. If I remember correctly, they destroyed over 300 of those beautiful '69 Dodge Chargers during the making of that iconic series. I've got it on DVD and I'm thinking about getting it on blu-ray because you can notice things on the blu-ray that the DVD doesn't show you! Thanks for the episode! Enjoyed watching it very much!!!

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.

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

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.

If I had a self healing car like the General Lee, lord knows what kind of trouble I get into and out of

Dooks Goofs! Very impressive eye for details and research! 😁👍

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

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!!

Everybody knows the General Lee was Christine's good younger brother 😂

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.

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.

Lol, love the Jeb Stuart tank jump!

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.

Good stuff! So many wrecked chargers. Looks like a lot of 4 doors other than that. Such a shame.

Great video 👍🏻 I just love watching the Dukes of Hazzard Bo Duke (John Schneider) got me hooked back on watching the Dukes.

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.

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.

I always wondered why the locations in the opening credits looked nothing like the locations in the show.

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 was born in 1992 and dukes of hazzard has been and will always be my favorite show

Great video! Love those Dukes

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

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. Down in Georgia where I'm from, you can just about find a general lee in every parade, and rusting away in garages.

Funny that you made the " Carnival of Thrills" car swap. In the Knight Rider episode "Give me Liberty..." They swapped out another car that was supposed to be another Charger that was supposed to blow up

I was little when I watched that show. Those are things I would have never picked up on.

If I remember correctly ,they destroyed over 300 Chargers during the run of the series.

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..

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.

You missed a goof; the police car you see in the very first jump (that Cooter is supposedly driving), is a 1975 Monaco. However the actual car that Cooter wrecks, is a 1970 Polara.

I have all 7 seasons on dvd plus two reunion movies after that Dukes cartoon than other 2 movies after them

Another big goof is your calling an armoured personnel carrier a tank.

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

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

Nice work man, I've been seeing 68 and 69 chargers around they are not hard to find, they are just so expensive because people know people will pay anything to get their hands on a charger

Most of us did not have VCR’s to record and rerun to see these imperfections. Lol!

You forgot about the Coke cup on the Roadrunner hood as it went over the cliff.

For 54 years i was SURE i was the ONLY one who noticed that kinda stuff

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

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

Also another goof in the ghost of the general lee, when Rosco tells the Dukes about Bo and Luke, where Cooter says you gotta be wrong Rosco ,and slams his fist down. Watch closely between the two camera angles.

The general healed itself like christine

according to John Schneider they were never allowed to jump the General Lee it was always stunt actors and sometimes miniatures.

No matter what, as a kid I believed there is only 1 General Lee. Of course it jumps and runs perfectly then.

I used to notice 1968 and 1970 Chargers used for some scenes, as well as parts of each.

Ah shoot, so much laughs, awesome video 👍👍👍👍

COME ON MAN!! The tank isn't a parole violation and the cigarettes 🚬 are??❓❓😋🤦

@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.

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???

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!

I found out about the extra General Lee on the Dukes season 1 DVD when John Schneider on commentary with Catherine Bach pointing it out.

We all know we only watched it to see Daisy . Ah the joys of boyhood .

Great video I’m going to start watching these videos a littler closer now

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
