The Dukes of Hazzard - Rosco drives the General Lee

Clip from the 3rd Season Dukes of Hazzard episode, "The Canterbury Crock." This was one of the most inventive chase scenes in the series, with drivers changing cars, the chasers becoming the chased, and the chase running backwards. It could only end in a crash, and it does.

I didn't think the Boss would fit in the window of the General Lee!

Am i the only one who physically hurts when The General Lee gets dinged up?

[@charlieharper886]

No. My dad used to laugh at me because I would always unknowingly cringe every time it "landed"..

[@OtherSarah2]

yep, there went another whole frame ... I think they actually killed more than 100 Chargers, making the show. And another dozen making the movie, which IMHO was not nearly as good. And the flag on top of the car wasn't there to put down black people, but today's world is far too PC to want to try to understand.

[@dylanthegreat1018]

Amazing how Roscoe's driving skills improved while driving the General Lee..

[@kimberlystuart7642]

Lol i know right?

[@charlieharper886]

Maybe the General is like Christine and is "assisting" Roscoe a little bit...

[@charlieharper886]

Actually might explain why he's seemingly indestructible!

[@JRC99]

I think it's the opposite. The police cars make people drive worse! In Season One's Deputy Dukes, Bo and Luke drive one and lose just about all of their skill behind the wheel of it.

[@lance_r72]

He may have drove better for a bit. But you knew he would crash it. Nobody can be Roscoe other than James Best. He Sorrel Booke, and Denver Pyle were awesome veteran actors . Thankfully they will live forever in our hearts and videos of this great show!!

[@ziggy3237]

Late by 7 years, but I’m glad people get to actually meet their hero’s. I’m also glad he isn’t high and mighty like other actors and goes to fancy restaurants so you could have that chance.

[@largol33t1]

Well, a LOT changes in just 20 years too. I found out the hard way when I bought a Dodge and was shocked to see the words "Division of Daimler-Benz" in neat little letters on the first page. Oh, well, my car was made in Ontario, Canada. So much for "buying American."

[@tomj4406]

@@largol33t1 there was recently a USA made Mopar, the Viper. Lol. Yeah, idk..i had a '00 Durango that was made in Newark, Delaware..idk how many cars have been made in USA since. The Neon was made in Belvedere, Illinois. Both excellent vehicles..not enough ppl bought them in later years..sooo anyways, the Nazi's buy Chrysler at the behest of Bob 'Sell out' Eaton (a former GM exec that hated Chrysler, obvo) and stripmine and gut it of money & leadership..but now things are much better..as good as coule be expected with Durago & RAM in the top 3, Charger & Challenger doing well. But yeah, manufacturing jobs moving overseas is deffo a problem. we will see the fruits of this shortsightedness as Coronavirus shuts down China and..as i type this, the docks are drying up..soon after the distribution centers will..if there is anything from China or Italy you want or need..ie cellphone, laptop, Disney toys for the kids..buy it now. and ofc..a 30 day supply of food, medicine & anything else you see fit..get those things now, as well.

[@1SqueakyWheel]

Chrysler has had the weirdest luck trying to remain a American marque despite Daimler Benz and now Fiat owning the whole Guo company. Part of the reason Dodge has gone stupid in the last few years trying to now call itself "Ram", which would be as stupid as GMC rebranding itself "Sierra".

[@4gauge10]

You forget,GM also lost Saturn, Oldsmobile,Hummer and Peugeot.
