Dukes fans?
I have 3 or 4 cents worth on this topic...
I did see the original run of the show.
Amazing how corny it seems through older and wiser eyes.
Despite bad reviews from nearly everyone-
I think they did a GREAT job with the latest movie.
It actually felt true to the original show, and was possible a bit less corny.
The chase scenes were GREAT, as well. ON par with much more serious films, IMO.
I actually have a bit of love/hate for this franchise.
It brought Mopars/Chargers back into the spotlight, but-
It also stereotyped them to a hick mentality.
...and helped cause them to be nearly unobtainable to us common folks.
The show contributed both to increased demand, and decreased supply!
To this day, I prefer the 68 or 70, in an attempt to avoid the stigma.
I grew up in Ohio, and actually grew up with cousins from Kentucky.
At one time one of them owned a Charger. Later they both owned 78 trans ams.
They pronounced it "tram zam". Seriously!
