They would come back, fight for Hazzard, and it would have been a great movie.<\/p>\n<p>Someone do it.  If no one does it, I will, as soon as I can get around to making a few million.<\/p>\n<div style=\"clear:both; padding-bottom: 0.25em;\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A few people have asked me privately given the review of Dukes of Hazzard, who I would have cast for the 2005 movie.
