janice6 Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 I once read an article on just how much work, time, and effort was put into repairing and reconstruction of the cars used in the Dukes of Hazzard show. Damn near everything they did with the car either practically destroyed them, or required considerable effort to repair back to a useable condition. The show had multiple cars in rotation being repaired, so that at least one would be available to the show. Anyone that ever did the least amount of repair work on typical passenger cars knows just how fragile they really are. Also, only an idiot wouldn't know just how much preparation and physics are involved in producing those stunts so that no one gets killed. Fantasy is still beyond some peoples understanding. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OwlsNest465 Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 I absolutely agree that stupid as as stupid does, play stupid games, etc... Making comments about walls simply because they had Mexican names... Retardation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, but it's funny though, and it gives some folks the opportunity for the virtue signalling they so desperately need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RenoF250 Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 I wonder how close they got. Just watch some Ken Block and you see how accurate you need to be on speed or you are short and hit the bridge/water or overshoot and slam into the ground. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ASH Posted May 27, 2019 Author Share Posted May 27, 2019 in the show they also actually used other cars then chargers and just used tricky filming and cut shots . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
railfancwb Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 The trajectory of a car leaving the edge of a level bridge follows the same physical laws as the bullet leaving the barrel of a level gun. It immediately begins to drop. To have a chance of clearing the opening and landing on its wheels on the other side of the opening it must launch on an upward path. The bridge pictured had no upward path. What little I remember of the Dukes of Hazard (other than the Daisy Duke short shorts) is that the vehicles were always accelerating on an up ramp when they launched.

Remember, many cars have incurred substantial damage from "Potholes". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
