A must for any Duke fan. This two-disc movie collection makes a fine closing addition to the Dukes series. In the first movie, Bo, Daisy, and Luke come home to Hazzard, where they learn that a greedy developer wants to build a thruway over the swamp. The problem? Their home's in the way. So, the cousins buckle up for another adventure. In the second movie, the Dukes, Roscoe, Cletus, Enos, and Cooter attempt to raise money for an establishment in Hazzard by going to Hollywood and selling a bunch of good ol' fashioned country tapes. Both movies are filled with fun, adventure, and romance. So buckle up, and get ready for a rip-roarin' good time with the gang you grew up with and grew to love. Catch ya on the flip side, I'm gone.

This 2 DVD set is 100 percent fun for every Dukes of Hazzard fan. Seeing how the actors have aged over the years since the series finale in 1985, but still delivered a neat acting quality, makes you feel comfortable watching the movies. Also in terms of imagery and camera technique, the movies now have clearer picture than the series back in the 80`s (although still shot in 1,33:1).
A real fan will buy this DVD for sure ; so just figure out the plots for yourself, but expect that The Dukes of Hazzard have changed from fighting the corrupt system of the Boss/Rosco regime into some kind of two-men army going after bad guys and mobsters.

This is an awesome DVD. Though they did not have the original theme song, they had the original cast!! Reunion was pretty good! But Hazzard in Hollywood was even better!!
I would recommend this to any Dukes of Hazzard fan!

One reviewer entitled his/her review "Now We Can Complete Our DVD Collection". Sorry,but but this is just one step closer to completion. The Dukes Of Hazzard spinoff Enos should be available on DVD,and that would complete the DOH collection. Since I previously wrote reviews for these two telefilms,previously available on VHS,I won't elaborate(the synopeses). Sadly,since this CBS series ended its 6 1/2 year run in 1985,two cast members have been taken away by the good Lord. I'm speaking of Sorrell Booke who died of cancer in 1994 at age 64 and Denver Pyle who died of lung cancer on Christmas Day 1997 at age 77. Most of the overall survivors are all back. Those who didn't return were the late Bewitched veteran Dick Sargent who filled in for James Best during Best's temporary departure from the series,Byron Cherry and Christopher Mayer whom the latter two filled in for the original stars Tom Wopat and John Schneider(Cherry and Mayer were later written out and Wopat and Schneider returned). Pyle lived to reunite with his fellow DOH cast members to do the first film in 1996 and his character Uncle Jesse Duke's death was written into the second film,shot in 1999. When DOH's third season(1980-81) was released on DVD in May 2005,the spinoff Enos(the entire series) should have come to DVD along with it. We'd see Deputy Enos Strate(sorely missing Hazzard and the people there) working for the Los Angeles Police Department. These telefilms air occasionally on CMT(Country Music Television). By the way,I didn't want to finish without mentioning the legendary Waylon Jennings. Jennings,who died of complications from diabetes in 2002,wrote and performed the DOH theme GOOD 'OL BOYS and also served as off-screen narrator("The Balladeer"). In fact,Jennings did once guest-star as himself in a 1984 DOH episode. I dedicate these films to the memories of Booke,Pyle and Jennings(1937-2002). GOB,which was on hit parade in 1980,was later covered by Wopat,Schneider and their co-star Catherine Bach,altogether. Their version was expanded by a few additional verses that were not Jennings' own. Schneider sang,"Waylon,we miss you,had a hell of a time on TV!". Warner Bros.,DOH's production company,was all prepared for an eighth season,but all-time low(lower than during the Cherry/Mayer era) ratings suddenly forced CBS to cancel the series without a special farewell. Long live Hazzard County,Luke,Bo,Daisy,Cooter,Roscoe,Enos,Cletus,Coy and Vance. R.I.P. Uncle Jesse and Jefferson Davis "Boss" Hogg.

I love the Dukes of Hazzard television series. I've watched all the series, and thoroughly enjoyed the good country adventures of the Duke family and their friends. (Except that episode with the alien... that was stupid!)
These TV movies are really an extension of the series, and serve as a continuation of the DVD sets, complete with similar menus. (Though there are no scene selections menus.)
In "Reunion!," the original cast returns in their roles (with the exceptions of Sorrell Booke and Waylon Jennings). The Dukes and Cooter battle the plans of a land developer to turn Hazzard Swamp into a theme park. Meanwhile, former deputy Enos Strate finally asks Daisy Duke to marry him.
In "Hazzard Goes To Hollywood," the town responds to an offer for three million dollars towards a new hospital by raising a half million on their own. Deciding to sell the tapes of live country music performances recorded in Hazzard, the Dukes (now minus Denver Pyle as Uncle Jesse), Rosco, and Cooter head to Hollywood to make a deal. However, things get complicated...
The video quality on these DVDs is excellent, probably just as good as they could have looked when they first aired. I did note that "Reunion" ends a couple seconds short during the Warner Brothers logo, but who cares about missing that?
The DVDs have no special features, except that Disc 1 ("Reunion!") opens with trailers for the 2005 "Dukes of Hazzard" movie, the direct-to-video "Dukes of Hazzard: The Beginning," and the TV show on DVD. In addition, the DVDs are also subtitled and closed captioning.
Great release! If you love the original Dukes of Hazzard show, buy this DVD set! There's rumors that if this sells well, Warner Brothers will release the Dukes spinoffs "Enos" and "The Dukes" animated series!
