Fabulous movie though, and the original John Williams score is one of the more (if not most) complex scores in modern Hollywood moviemaking. I'd be interested to find out more about how Williams composed it actually - purely on instinct, or did he follow some principle of serial organisation, perhaps? Or maybe model it on a Stravinsky work (it sounds like parts of the Rite of Spring.)
As a proud son of the state of Alabama, I can attest that every joke you've ever heard is true. Where I come from, the Dukes of Hazzard is a documentary.
Sacrilege. :)

Yet in its way true to the spirit of the original. If not the, er, tone.

It explains why they anally probe only trailer park residents.
