I'm not sure I'm on board with this...at least not the Dukes remake. Of course I haven't seen the movie, and the cast (Jessica, Willie, Bert and Linda Carter) turned me off. But then I saw the trailer and was pleasantly surprised.
In fact the clips with Jessica at the Boar's Nest looked pretty good. The more I watched the trailer the more I figured they didn't really make a remake, but instead took the Dukes legend (the story IS based in a real life story of 2 brothers) and did a retelling, albeit updated a bit.
As to foul langauge...perhaps there is but not in the trailer. I'll have to wait and see the movie before I can say whether it's overboard or not.
Thing is the TV show was actually a remake of "The Moonrunners" which featured a lot of the icons from the TV show but was WAY darker. And the language - and storyline - in The Moonrunners wasn't exactly the cartoon cliche style that the TV show evolved into.
Now the kicker...at least to me. Doesn't ANYONE remember how the religeous right squawked about the TV series? There were efforts underway to have the show pulled from the CBS lineup because Daisy, the Duke Boys and Uncle Jessie were all living together and there was implied incest. They zealots weren't happy with Daisy Duke shorts either.
Ironic isn't it that decades later some of those same people are critical of the movie, and use the TV show they once critisized as immoral as a yardstick for American wholesomeness.
YEE-HAA! That's just a little bit more than the law will allow.
