Continuity mistake: When Cooter turns around to go after the bad guys, Enos comes from the side road, sliding a one-eighty. The back end of his car stops against the tow truck, but when the camera goes to a close up on Enos, there is no truck behind him, only trees.
Continuity mistake: As Cooter hears the call for help, he's on a winding country road. When he goes to turn around, he's on a two lane blacktop in the hills.
Continuity mistake: After the tires are shot out on the General, Jessie reaches in to get the CB microphone, and draws back after getting it. In the close up, he draws his arms back again.
Visible crew/equipment: As the General Lee goes past the camera position to pass a sign marked "Colonial City", you see the shadow of the camera and crew along with the shadow of the tree behind the camera.
Visible crew/equipment: When Daisy is being chased by Lester, the camera goes into a wide shot when they are on a long curve. As Daisy passes a last bush, you see the shadow of the camera and crewman.
Continuity mistake: When the guy is looking for the map, he knocks a vase out of the cupboard, and it breaks. After Lester trips up, the lights come on, and there is no broken glass anywhere.
Continuity mistake: After the boat with Jessie, Bo, Luke, and the girl get stuck, you see Jessie standing to get the boat unstuck. A second later, you see that he's sitting, then another second and he's standing.
Audio problem: When Bo and Luke come up behind the visitor in the blue car, Bo honks the horn and waves. When he does, only the last part of "Dixie" plays when the camera is on him. Then the camera cuts to her, and only the last three notes play about two or three seconds later.
Continuity mistake: When Roscoe comes out of the courthouse he runs into the potted tree, he grabs it, and starts to fall over to his right. In the wide shot, he falls over to the left and down the steps with the tree.
Continuity mistake: When the boys have Emory Potter in the car from his wedding in Lake Chickamahoney, they go off the paved road cross-country. As they go, you see they are on a dirt road. The hit a hump of dirt (almost a convenient ramp) and they go flying. As they do, the area suddenly goes from wide open country to a paved road with a wooden fence, and power poles lining it.
Continuity mistake: When in town, the boys see Enos coming out of the courthouse. They go to get out to get Granny Annie, you see Bo in the driver's side. After they see Roscoe and take off, they do the "skiing" (driving on two wheels) thing. When the General Lee sets back down on all fours, you see a blue shirt in the driver's window, suggesting that Luke is driving.
Audio problem: In the Boar's Nest, when the Oak Ridge Boys are singing, you hear a familiar "Yeee-haw!" This is from Bo, and you hear it now and again, even when you see Bo in a close up, and his mouth doesn't move.
Continuity mistake: When the Dukes meet up with BB, they come from a side road onto the main road. When the shot goes in to a close up on BB, you don't see a side road. And half the time, you don't see any dust kicked up by the opposing vehicles.

Continuity mistake: As the Dukes meet the limo, a closeup shows Jesse lying over to his right. When they stop, Jesse is sitting up, then lies over to the right again.

Revealing mistake: Toward the beginning, when the Dukes meet the Texans, when the Texans toss up shot glasses to shoot, you see a white wire attached to one of them, probably to bust the glass on cue.
Answer: Various reasons, but mainly to drive the Dukes out of Hazzard County because the family have been foiling his schemes since his and Uncle Jesse's bootlegging days.
