Much like the Allan Quartermain movies did this one also tried to cash in on the success of the Indiana Jones movies. Another adventure quest in search for mythical treasure.

It wasn't a bad movie... some entertaining bits between the mismatched pair of Chuck Norris and Lou Gosset Jr. They just couldn't resist showing the trademark slo-mo roundhouse kick that is in all of Norris' films.

I've always liked Sonny Landham but I'm sure if you asked him he'd tell you he felt quite foolish hamming it up as the big Indian antagonist.

Melody Anderson who played the female lead gave a forgettable performance. I hate it when they pick a chick who is perfect beautiful thinking that will make up for a lack of acting skill. 

Good way to waste 90 minutes as long as you aren't expecting much.

My Thoughts:
This is a movie I bought Brittany for her Birthday the other day. This is a TV Movie that originally aired on Nickelodeon. This movie is cute enough... and has a few laughs. But it is definitely geared more towards the kids then it is adults. Brittany enjoyed it quite a bit though so I am happy about that.

The One Where It All Began: The Pilot Marathon, a review by DJ Doena

The Dukes of Hazzard



What's the show about?
The Duke cousins Bo and Luke live together with their other cousin Daisy and their uncle on a farm in Hazzard County. The Dukes were once moonshiners and they still can make a good corn whiskey. All of the Dukes often get in trouble with the corrupt Sheriff and Boss Hogg but they can always beat them.

"One Armed Bandits"
Boss Hogg and Sheriff Rosco P. Coltraine try to smuggle illegal slot machines into Hazzard County. But Bo, Luke & Daisy hijack the "fertilizer" truck and use the slot machines to keep the orphanage open.

My Opinion
Did you know that they scrapped over 300 Dodge Chargers to make that show? The only season I didn't like was the one where just another pair of cousins came to Hazzard County and Bo and Luke went off to drive races.
