With the release of this dvd we can have the complete dukes of hazzard dvd collection which consists of all 7 seasons plus the two official tv movies the reunion and the hazzard in hollywood.
Of course for the die hard fans there's still "Enos" to be released plus the animation show but for me my collection ends here and i'm happy to have all 7 seasons plus this dvd with the tv movies.

I was so excited to get hold of the better Dukes movie after that rotten theater movie and the television movie The Beginning all but ruined the classic characters. What makes the classic Dukes funny is that the characters don't try to be funny. They take their characters series as the TV show and these movies fall under the Genre of Drama rather than comedy.

Since the actor that played Boss Hogg had passed away The Dukes of Hazzard Reunion movie has Rosco as the new Boss of Hazzard. The family members have grown up with Daisy off to collage, Luke a fire fighter and Bo a nascar driver returning to town to try to save Duke farm and the local swamp from a land scheme of Rosco and and big city con artist. It has all the elements one expect from the television show plus Enos asking Daisy to marry him.

The second movie has the town trying to save up enough money to build a new hospital when a visiting con man suggest taking the recordings of all the people who played in Hazzard over the years and re master the music to sell on a Hollywood label. To prevent the hospital from being build another con man with a grudge to settle has hired muscle to steal the tapes. What more the Russian mob and chop shop gangs are all in it for themselves. It's laughs a plenty as those still living like it the 1970s enters L.A's 21st century.

I am so excited to see these finally comming to DVD!! I am ready for the cartoons & Enos!! I would also like to see the TV specials for the Dukes all in one set (E! True Hollywood Story, ET in TV Land, CMT Insider, CMT Insider SE, as well as the segments from TV Road Trip and Liars & Legends). The TV specials would all fit on one disc, without commercials they are only around three and a half hours total.

Thanks again to Warner Bros for releasing these 2 movies. These movies should have been on the big screen!!! The DVDs will be a great addition to the rest of my Dukes collection or anyone else's really. Hopefully the Dukes cartoons and Enos will follow soon.

Glad I found this DVD set for my son, he loves Dukes of Hazard and I wanted him to see the older ones, not the new remake!

Our 10 year old grandson wanted a Dukes of Hazzard movie for his birthday - we searched for it for ever and finally found one on Amazon. You made his birthday!! Thank you.

I really love this show. I watch this show every Friday night, like I use to do when I was a kid. Never will tired of it. It looks so nice on my LCD TV. The upgrade makes it clear.

It was worth the wait. If brings the series around full circle. I was appropriate to add Sorrel Booke in the final credits.

This takes me back to when I was a kid in the '80s and tuning in to CBS on Friday nights to watch THE DUKES OF HAZZARD go back to back with THE INCREDIBLE HULK. The Dukes were always all about family values and the iconic General Lee and that theme song and Bo and Luke Duke and sexy Daisy Duke (and now you know where those Daisy Duke shorts came from). This two-disc DVD set collects the two made-for-television films which reunited the cast. Bo and Luke are still just two good ol' boys, never meanin' no harm, never mind that one is now a professional race car driver and the other is a senior smoke jumper. These two movies bring the series' trademark plate of cornpone and homespun and yeehaw. Good fun. Probably not for everyone, probably not for the hoity-toity pinky-finger-up-in-the-air-while-sipping-his-latte city slicker.

THE DUKES OF HAZZARD: REUNION aired in 1997 and it catches us up with what the Dukes have been up to (and there are some surprises; I didn't see Cooter's career change coming). With Boss Hogg having passed away, a new conniving no-good-nik steps into Hazzard County. Bo, Luke, and Daisy (and Cooter and Enos) return to Hazzard only to find Uncle Jesse in deep trouble and despised by just about everyone, at that. Josephine "Mama" Max has come to town, and she aims to build a theme park, except that the Dukes' swamp land stands in its way. Uncle Jesse ain't selling, and this is costing the good folks of Hazzard an assortment of jobs promised to them by Mama Max. Thus, the ill will towards Uncle Jesse, y'all.

A contest is proposed, to take place at the Homecoming Festival: an overland moonshine race between the General Lee and the only car that ever whipped the General. If the General wins, Uncle Jesse wins a thousand dollar prize. If the General loses, Uncle Jesse grants Mama Max access thru his property. Now if only the Dukes can find out whatever happened to the General. And then deal with Mama Max's underhandedness. And her nasty goons.

LAPD officer Enos Strate comes to town, and I'm glad he's getting respect. Enos still has his eyes on Daisy, and this time Daisy is eyeing him back. This bodes for possibly the biggest wedding ever in Hazzard. This is the kind of movie, by the way, in which Daisy Duke can ask the villainess, Mama Max, to help plan for her wedding... and Mama Max accepts. This is also the kind of movie where people have things like rattlesnake chili cook-offs. And, because you're not thrown off enough, Cynthia Rothrock shows up as a hillbilly martial artist competing in the annual Tough Person Contest. On the other hand, some things are immutable. The Hazzard County speed traps; Bo wielding that bow and arrow; the bar brawl at the Boar's Nest; Rosco P. Coltrane (now Boss Rosco) just being ridiculous. The Dukes are back, still making their way the only way they know how. But that's still just a little bit more than the law would allow.

Three years later, country comes to La-la-land in HAZZARD IN HOLLYWOOD. Hoping to make enough money to build a hospital in Hazzard, the Dukes make their way to Hollywood to sell tape recordings of famous country singers who've performed in past Hazzard County hoe-downs. And then a thug with an eye patch starts taking potshots at them. The Mad Russian Igor, a Los Angeles crime lord, wants those tapes, as well. And then, as if the Dukes aren't already neck deep, Rosco P. Coltrane gets involved with a loan shark.

Pitting the Dukes' countrified sensibilities against the urbanity of Los Angeles isn't anything new. Enos Strate had his own short-lived series back in the day when he first transferred to the LAPD. There was even an episode in ENOS in which Bo and Luke visited Enos in LA. It's no surprise that Bo and Luke and all get the best of the Angelinos (those cholos never stood a chance) and manage to adapt to their more cosmopolitan environs (it's their movie, after all). In LA, the oblivious Enos is a babe magnet, Daisy is a fearless stunt woman, Bo and Luke attend a block party hosted by vatos, and that the Russian crime lord is hooked on country line dancing. There is new love and lost love. Toby Keith sings. John Schneider sings a duet of a Merle Haggard ballad. Mac Davis is the Balladeer and he's on screen and isn't too shy about breaking the fourth wall. Just a normal day for them Dukes.

No special features on these discs. That sucks.

Dukes in Hollywood have numerous enemies but still come out victorous.John Schneider finally sings a solo that is beautiful. He is very talented as a country singer. Reunion brings most of the players back to Hazzard to fight against a land takeover.
