Laddie Roussel Prowler Junkie Posts: 3463 From: Hester, LA. USA Registered: JUL 2000	posted 01-16-2005 05:42 AM On Saturday, Jan. 15th, Jimmy, Michael (Jimmy's son) & I went out to Clinton where Warner Bros. is filming portions of the Road Rally. Warner Bros. has had the 78 Vette since Wed. and stunt drivers are driving the car for these sequences. They had a five mile section of Hwy. 10 blocked off. We told the police we had tires for the race car and they waived us through. We were out for about 3 hours among the film crew and took quite a few pics and watched them film three Takes. I think they were still planning to film three additional takes after we left. They were throwing Molotov cocktails at the police cars (movie police cars) and it was interesting to see special effects crew setting up the cars. In addtition to the filming along the road, they were also filming in front of a green screen for special effects. It was neat... I've posted pics here: Http://www.ccc-la.com/gallery/index.php Boss Hogg (Burt Reynolds) & Uncle Jessie (Willie Nelson) Stunt doubles in Caddy... Stunt Driver in my 78 Yellow Vette... Jimmy also built the Green Camaro being used in the filming and this car was bought by Warner Bros. They are planning to crash this car somewhere along the way... Troy Russo's Green Duster is being used in the filming along with Winston Landymore's Cougar. A key feature of the movie is an Illegal Three Hour Road Rally Race (sorta like cannonball run through Hazzard CO.). In addition to the #78 Vette, Jimmy and I will be driving race cars in the filming taking place this Wed. Through Sat. at State Capital Raceway. The following was posted in the Morning Advocate on Saturday morning: "Dukes of Hazzard" Race Spectators Sought" Producers for the "Dukes of Hazzard" movie are calling for Volunteers to cheer on the General Lee for the Big Rally at State Capital Dragway in Erwinville the Governor's office of Film & Television said.

Volunteers will not be paid, but lunch is provided by Johnsonville Brats." Explosives strapped to front of police car to show car taking direct hit from Molotov Cocktail. Crew in truck making the cocktails... The movie cast includes: Burt Reynolds (Boss Hogg), Willie Nelson (Uncle Jessie), Jessica Simpson (Daisy Duke), Dolly Parton, Danny Devito, two young guys playing the Duke Boys (don't know there names)... We haven't seen any yet... I'll take more pics this week... Rally cars lining up for filming on Take #2... Molotov cocktails on road after filming Take #2...

SuperKat Prowler Junkie Posts: 2221 From: Atlanta, GA, USA Registered: NOV 2001	posted 01-16-2005 03:07 PM Laddie, we are all waiting Daisy. Thanks for the post and I too want your autograph. Great stuff.
idive Prowler Junkie Posts: 8483 From: Texas USA Registered: APR 2003	posted 01-17-2005 12:38 AM I'm not picky. I'd like everyone's autograph. P.S. Just have Dolly sign one of her bras. Daisy can sign one of her pairs of Daisy Dukes. Boss Hogg can sign whatever is handy... like a $100 bill. Uncle Jesse can sign one of his guitars (or one of his baggies). I'll be willing to accept a General Lee in lieu of "the boy's" autographs. You can sign a theater poster showing your cool car.
