Movie Review: Big government and big business used big media to crush the little man who was just trying to build a better mousetrap of a car! That’s right, our beloved Big 3 all agreed on something – and that something was getting their corrupt state senator to smoosh the competition of Preston Tucker for daring to want to offer a high speed, disc brake, seat belt equipped new car that could really move. I’m betting Elon Musk watched this movie, took notes on what NOT to do, then launched a car company without getting killed. That’s all tongue in cheek of course (hopefully)!
This is a movie that will inspire you, intrigue you, and make you want to learn more about the Tucker Automobile….but definitely the man who gave it name. It’ll also make you want to smoke, drink whiskey, and wear suits with fedoras. I don’t know how historically accurate it was in truth but let’s assume that it was in the ballpark. Sure made for a good movie!

Dukes Review: Orson Wells broadcast War of the World on the radio in 1938….then in the 1960’s Star Trek led to Star Wars in the 1970’s which led to ET in the early 80’s….and finally that led to this. Let’s get it over with. I know that I have been dreading this episode since we debuted this show in 2016….and I am betting that when the script for this episode leaked to the Warner Brother brass that they cancelled the series it before they even filmed this episode. That said, there’s too much negativity in this world as it is so let’s put on a happy face and enjoy what’s good!
First, there are no miniatures used in this episode for stunts (they rely on B-roll for jump footage). There are outstanding interior shots of the General Lee that will make us excited once again for tracking down the Forever Young soundstage Charger. There’s toe-tapping alien music music with a country twang. This might be the first – and only episode with graphical special effects. The power of local radio – and the local radioman standing at his post to deliver the news people need to know is displayed proudly in this episode. But what you don’t know is, this episode was the audition tape that John Schneider sent into the producers of Smallville….because this episode featured John Schneider – hiding an alien that can shoot lasers from his eyeballs – in a charming farmhouse.
There. We got through it. Together. 1 Corndog.

Dukes Review: Hughie Hogg returns with a fake Genie, a fake Magic Lamp, and a scorching case of hemorrhoids (we assume). This is a dumb episode, and for a series that started out with RV’s full of hookers being driven over county lines that became a family friendly show with a magic car, that then became a joke with imposter Dukes cousins, that then tried to put the Dream Team back together with a family friendly focus, it’s nice to end the series with a return of Hughie Hogg and his original two henchman. Again it’s dumb. Boss Hogg thinks that there is a genie in his office. A real genie. That’s all you need to know. And while there are miniature stunt….at least it isn’t of a jumping General Lee. And at the very end….the Dukes risk their lives to save the bad guy, and that’s a lesson from the Good Book any way you slice it.

Movie Review: This is the coming of age tale of Lightning McQueen, the uber talented yet uber cocky up and coming race car in the Cars universe. You know the story just as well as we do so we’ll spare you the standard details. Basically, this is the tale of a universe where cars are people, racing is the national past-time, and Route 66 is rediscovered. The list of voice talent is outstanding and is helmed by Owen Wilson, Paul Newman, and Larry the Cable Guy. It’ll make you laugh, cry, and wish you were what you always really wanted to be in life…..a car! This is the first of the Cars trilogy of movies, but in our humble opinions…it’s the best.

K&F Show #229: The Independence Day Spectacular! – Dukes of Hazzard Review S7E13 “The Haunting of J.D. Hogg”
Presented with Holley! If you’re planning to do an EFI conversion Holley has a baffled EFI in-tank-pump equipped option ready to go for you! Remember, stock tanks meant for carburetors initially weren’t baffled, meaning a little sloshy-slosh here and there was inevitable (and for a carb with a fuel bowl, not a big deal). EFI requires a constant high pressure fuel supply, and an in-tank pump in the confines of a baffled fuel tank is the best way to go for drivability AND performance. The OEM’s have done that for 30 years!
Dukes Review: This is the first episode to release in 1985….and by this point in the show, the series was actually over. Filming had ceased. Actors were looking for new jobs. General Lee’s were sitting idly, waiting for a young Corndog to document them, knowing that there were 27 General Lee’s at the time and he stashed 8 of them for himself to find when he grew up. Tom Wopat directs the episode and – like his previous episodes – really gives fan service, interesting camera angles, and always establishes where the General is. There are no miniatures used of any kind – only recycled footage of jumps and new wrecks. At the end everyone is on scene together and happy. Rosco is over the top funny. It’s a really nice episode. White there are no new jumps, there are new stunts in it – including a big General Lee wreck that is potentially that last GL to be wrecked on screen. But I have to admit…it kind of seems like a goodbye.

K&F Show #228: #KibbeLee Father’s Day 180’s! – Summer Movie Review with Ryan Brutt “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off”

Also to be sure to pick up a few speed goodies for yourself at Visit Holley.com and make SURE you tell them we sent you!
Movie Review: Ferris Bueller’s Day off is the tale of one high school hero who truly had it all; looks, brains, money, friends, a smokin’ hot girlfriend, popularity, style, and panache. However, despite all of that he still lacked the two things that he needed most….a day off, and a car! This is the tale of Ferris Bueller, the 4th wall breaking, Ferrari stealing, John Hughes immortal movie hit of 1986. Like nearly every other John Hughes tale the setting of the story was the Chicago suburbs!
The Ferrari in the film is supposed to be a 1961 Ferrari 250 GT California. The insert shots of emblems and wheels really are of the genuine article, but absolutely everything else was a faker-oo Modena Spyder replica (three of them, actually). Ferrari was none too happy with this movie and sued Modena out of business. Most reports show that the Ford powered replicas were ham-fisted together, ran poorly, and broke down often. In fact our man Ryan Brutt (The Auto Archaeologist) joined in to share the tales of the man that keep the fake Ferrari’s running during the movie filming; his dad!

Dukes Review: This episode features my high school Nova, a classic voice over actor, and no miniature GL jumps. No GL jumps at all in fact, not even recycled real ones. That’s probably a good thing, because while this episode wasn’t remarkable, it wasn’t offensive. Boss Hogg gets caught by people doing to him what he’s always done to others; he got robbed with no insurance to protect him. And, he recognized that the Dukes were innocent in the predicament…but he still used them to solve his problem, because he knew Rosco was too dumb to solve it himself. The bad guy lead girl actress is the former wife of Beach Boy and Two Lane Blacktop Star Dennis Wilwon…..which did not help her acting skills. A helicopter is involved, there’s a little bit of miniature stuff, but again…..no GL jumps, and that means no miniature GL jumps. This is like when your kids comes home from school with a report card full of C’s and a note from the teacher that said he didn’t get in a fight today. He just sat there. And that’s good enough for me.

Dukes Review: Perennial bad guy actor Judson Scott returns in this episode. He’s been on the Dukes as a bad before…..but we all know him best as the Number 2 guy to the most evil space character ever in cinematic history. Nope….I’m not talking about Darth Vader, I’m talking about Khan Noonien Singh from Star Trek II! Khaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan!! That dude was pure evil. Anyway, Judson Scott was his second in command in Star Trek II. Unfortunately, that’s about the only remarkable thing about this episode to give you. There are miniature stunts, miniature prisons from which to perform a miniature prison break from, and a few funny scenes of Boss Hogg on a strict diet. Corndog spotted a General Lee with diamond tuck seat covers….so I guess that’s something. Meh. Sorry folks, can’t win ’em all.

Dukes Review: This is the episode where the General Lee goes rabid! The General gets turned into a remote controlled car, set to detail a train full of money with a load of dynamite in the trunk. Boss Hogg was behind the scheme of course, but the Dukes came back and nearly fought to the death to protect the most important their lives: their honor? No. Their fortune? No? Their reputation? NO! It was for their car! We have all learned this life lesson, and like them we all know that cars have a soul, need to be protected, and need to be fought for. Quite honestly, if it weren’t for the miniature stunt – which thankfully were minimal – this episode would be an 11 out of 10. Plus, the bad guy just happened to be Kung Fun Joe from to classic movie spook “I’m gonna get you Sucka!”
