The goddess, Jennifer Connelly, of course! Not even close to being a contest!

Round 1 - Bracket 19 - Luke Duke

Luke Wilson vs. Steve Guttenberg

Yeah, I know...


Round 1 - Bracket 20 - Cooter Davenport

Brad Pitt vs. Henry Thomas


Round 1 - Bracket 21 - Jefferson Davis 'Boss' Hogg

Jack Nicholson vs. Pat Hingle


Dukes Trivia:

There were a total of 229 "General Lee" cars (some of them were 1968 and 1970 model Dodges) created and mostly destroyed during the series. About 20, in various states of disrepair, still exist.


Dukes Quote:

"Rosco, if you ever have to live your life over...don't."

- 'Boss' Hogg

 

[Brian Kissinger]

Sorry I haven't been around more. Damn apathy!

Luke Wilson vs. Steve Guttenberg

Well, this is a no brainer. Mr. Steve Guttenberg is the only choice. The real question is, would he want to soil his good name, on a project like this?

Brad Pitt vs. Henry Thomas

Brad Pitt for shits and giggles.


Jack Nicholson vs. Pat Hingle

Neither scream out Boss Hogg at me. Although, Nicholson could be fun in the role. "I'm not gonna hurt you Dukes. You didn't let me finish. I'm not gonna hurt you Dukes, I'm just gonna bash your faces in. Bash em right the fuck in."

Luke Wilson

Henry Thomas

Pat Hingle- come on, anyone who has seen MAXIMUM OVERDRIVE should see he'd be perfect for the role!

Round 1 - Bracket 19 - Luke Duke
Luke Wilson vs. Steve Guttenberg

The Owen and Luke teaming is quite appealing, even if Luke doesn't do much emoting in any of his roles. That's OK for the Luke Duke role. The only way Guttenberg gets this part is if he sleeps with the producers (again).

Round 1 - Bracket 20 - Cooter Davenport
Brad Pitt vs. Henry Thomas

Budget! We don't have Oprah dollars here. Brad Pitt is not affordable for a supporting role! You're worse than Kyle and Ephraim. Henry Thomas is also wrong for Cooter in so many ways.

Round 1 - Bracket 21 - Jefferson Davis 'Boss' Hogg
Jack Nicholson vs. Pat Hingle

I'll vote for Pat Hingle if he's carrying a bag of oranges and he sends someone for a towel. I haven't seen Maximum Overdrive, but if his Boss Hogg is as cruel as his Bobo Justus, he's got the part.

So, Wilson, abstain, Hingle.

Jeff Daniels vs. William Sanderson


Round 1 - Bracket 23 - Bo Duke

Russell Crowe vs. Matt Damon


Round 1 - Bracket 24 - Uncle Jesse Duke

Sir Richard Attenborough vs. Sir Ian McKellen


Dukes Trivia:

In 1983, the series also spawned a spin-off Saturday Morning cartoon called 'The Dukes'. Made by Hanna-Barbera, this series concerned an around-the-world car race between the Dukes and Boss Hogg.

Jeff Daniels

Matt Damon

Sir Richard Attenborough

 

[Brad Porter]

Jeff Daniels - no
William Sanderson - no
Russell Crowe - No
Matt Damon - NO!
Sir Richard Attenborough - NOOO!
Sir Ian McKellen - NOOOOOOOO!

Just because somebody wore a beard in a movie does not mean that they should be cast as Uncle Jesse. Why not suggest Dan Haggerty, Danny Glover, and Bob Dylan while you're at it? Hey, Dan Haggerty... hmmmmmm.

[Ric Bagoly]

William Sanderson, easily

Russell Crowe-obvious

Sir Richard Attenborough-lesser of two evils

Sir Richard Attenborough

 

[SteveGon]

Jeff Daniels wins 3 - 1.
Matt Damon wins 3 - 1.
Sir Richard Attenborough wins 4 - 0.


Round 1 - Bracket 25 - Sheriff Rosco P. Coltrane

Bill Paxton vs. William Shatner


Round 1 - Bracket 26 - Daisy Duke

Jessica Biel vs. Rose McGowan


Round 1 - Bracket 27 - Cool Cameo

The Beverly Hillbillies vs. Hee-Haw


Dukes Trivia:

They crashed a lot of cars filming this show. Replacing the police sedans was easy -- replacing the old Dodge Chargers ("General Lee") was not as they weren't made anymore. It got to the point where producers would spot a Charger on the street and would approach the owner and offer to buy it on the spot.


Dukes Quote:

"It's just as clear as cider in a jug."

- Sheriff Rosco P. Coltrane
