The Dukes of Hazzard

One Armed Bandits - S1-E1

Revealing mistake: Three times during the final chase there are close ups of the boys in the General Lee. If you look, the car is stationary on a brown dirt road, and the car is being shaken to simulate driving.

Daisy's Song - S1-E2

Revealing mistake: As the Sheriff's cars are nearing the area where the Mobile Madam is, they're driving fast. As the RV and Bo are nearing the gate of the property they're on, you can see the two Sheriff's cars sitting just to the left of frame, then just beginning to move to make the pursuit look good.

Swamp Molly - S1-E6

Revealing mistake: When the truck goes into the water, you can see the driver was either a stunt driver or a dummy. Also, you can see the top of the truck just under the surface of the water, suggesting it was on the bottom. A few seconds later, and all you can see are bubbles.

Movie Nut

Limo One is Missing - S1-E9

Revealing mistake: When spying on the hidden chop shop, the boys are using Cooter as a stepladder, with their feet on his shoulders. After he complains about their boots, they jump down after Daisy warns them. If you look at Cooter's shoulders, you can see that they're padded for the stunt.

Deputy Dukes - S1-E10

Revealing mistake: When the boys are stopping to check the ambulance, you can see the smoke device burning used to simulate the engine running badly.

One Armed Bandits - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: The chase with Daisy in Rosco's squad car ends with a piano slamming into the car. When the truck hauling it comes to a stop, there's a reaction shot of Daisy at the wheel of the squad car. In the next shot, when the piano hits it, the car is empty. A second later, Rosco gets out of the truck and Daisy is back in the driver's seat. (00:30:00)

Double Sting - S1-E13

Question: In this episode, Jessie, ticked off that he had to pay the boy's bail, says that the mortgage payment has to be made to Jason Higgins. I thought that J.D. Hogg held the mortgage to the Duke farm. Has my memory got a hole in it?

Answer: Hogg didn't own the farm and hold the mortgage until that episode. He says that he "bought aII Jason's hoIdings Iast week", but the Dukes didn't know about it and thought they still had to pay Higgins.
