Continuity mistake: When Roscoe and the judge are in the courtroom and the town comes to object the strip mine ordinance, the courtroom doors are held shut by a night stick. When the townspeople start to shake the doors you can see that the night stick slides to an angle, then when they cut to a closer view the night stick is level once again. (01:33:35)
Continuity mistake: In the courthouse scene, the judge's name plaque is on his left side, but seconds later it is to his right with there being no time for him to move it across. (01:33:35)
Continuity mistake: Sheev breaks down the courtroom doors, causing the sides of the doors to get splintered down the sides. Yet in the next wideshot as everyone enters the courtroom, the sides of the doors show no damage. (01:33:40)
Visible crew/equipment: As Bo and Luke are surrounded by cops, Luke says "I never get tired of hearing him say that." As the camera pans around the front of the General Lee the camera is visible reflected on the front windshield.
Continuity mistake: One of General Lee's wing-mirrors gets blasted off, but it reappears in a later shot. But once Bo and Luke get General Lee to be fixed, it's missing again.
Continuity mistake: When Daisy Duke is talking to Billy about the sponsorship of his car, her hair on her left side moves between shots, from behind her shoulder to in front of her shoulder, whilst she is talking. This happens with her hair numerous times throughout the movie.
Continuity mistake: The General had to tilt on two wheels to squeeze through the narrow opening of the barn door. When the General crashes through the back of the barn you can see that the barn door is wide open even before the police start to open it further.
Revealing mistake: There is one shot of the Duke boys in their car talking to Uncle Jessie with the CB radio. You can hear Uncle Jessie respond (through the radio) while Bo/Luke still has the button on the microphone pressed. When the button on the mic is pressed, no sound comes out of a CB radio at all, as they cannot transmit and receive at the same time.
Revealing mistake: When Bo has won the race and he is heading back into Hazzard County he drives past a carpark that has three General Lee's in it, one Rough Paint scheme and two with the proper paint scheme, as well as police cars.
Suggested correction: It was deliberately done as a tribute to the first episode of The Dukes of Hazzard in which a duplicate General Lee can be seen in one shot during a chase scene.
Continuity mistake: The Dukes are being chased through a field by countless police cars. The car is kicking up mud and dirt and getting dirty. Eventually the General nails a police car on the right front end (left side facing the film viewer). The car is catapulted up onto two wheels and the General miraculously slides through a barn. However, even more miraculous is as the General goes into the barn, the car is completely polished and shows no front end damage at all. The car leaves the barn in pristine condition.
Continuity mistake: When Bo and Luke pick up the General Lee when Cooter has finished fixing it, there are shots flashing between different parts of the new General. One of the shots is of the word Charger, which is located on the headlight cover when it is closed, but in all the shots before and after the headlight cover is open.
Visible crew/equipment: After escaping (with Daisy's help) from the back of the cruiser, as they are being chased, the sun casts a shadow of the camera and equipment. It can be seen on Bo's shirt as they "drift" through the first circle. This is before the big drift scene when Bo keeps driving around and around the circle.
Continuity mistake: When Bo is being chased by Campus Police, he tells everyone to "Get Skinny" as he squeezes through two cars, and leaves quite a little bit of damage on each side. Yet when Bo is driving on the rally track, there's a shot from the right and no damage is visible.
Continuity mistake: When Luke and Uncle Jesse are in Boss Hoggs' car, in the racing scene towards the end of the movie, Jesse is just about to start lighting and throwing the jars of moonshine. Just before he does, when he takes a drink from one his right hand is holding the cap on his head and the jar is in his left, but in the next shot the jar is in his right hand and the cap is in the left.
Continuity mistake: From the first time Boss Hogg appears on screen he has a goatee beard, apart from the scene towards the end in the courthouse when Uncle Jesse punches him.
Revealing mistake: In the scene where the Duke Boys are driving to Atlanta to have the core samples tested, they are on the interstate and the people are commenting about the roof of the car. If you notice the Boys are higher then the passage cars, but with other shots you can see they are at the same height as the other cars on the road. Most likely this would happen with the car being filmed on a trailer going down the interstate.
Visible crew/equipment: In the scene when the boys are about to enter the trailer to steal the safe, you can see the shadow of a man on the fence in the background, just as they enter the door.
Continuity mistake: When Cooter drives up to the police blockade with the flatbed extension, there is a wall of metal at the front of the "ramp" (the end closest to the cab). However, this soon changes to just a flat surface when it's the POV of the ramp from the car's perspective.
Revealing mistake: In the beginning when General Lee approaches the pile of dirt when the road runs out, the dirt pile is small but when the shot changes to side view so you can see the car jump, the pile of dirt is now much more "ramp like".
Continuity mistake: When Rosco arrives at Cooter's to pick up the General Lee he arrives with a tow truck. However, when Bo and Luke drive the General Lee out of Cooter's the tow truck that arrived with Rosco is gone.
