IMDb profile

The Dukes of Hazzard: Reunion! is a made-for-television film from 1997 which reunites the surviving cast members of the American TV series, The Dukes of Hazzard.

[edit] Miscellanea

In this film, Cooter Davenport has become a United States Congressman. This is because Ben Jones, who portrays Cooter, actually did become a United States Congressman some time after the TV series ended.
When filming began, Denver Pyle had lost a significant amount of weight, had short hair and (save for a moustache) was clean shaven. He was given a "fat suit" to wear, similar to what Sorrell Booke had worn in his days of playing "Boss Hogg". A scruffy white wig was placed under Pyle's trademark red cap, and a false white beard was applied to his face using spirit gum. Pyle's weight loss was attributed to the fact he was suffering from lung cancer at the time.
Waylon Jennings did not reprise his role as "The Balladeer" in this film for unknown reasons. He did, however, lend his voice to the 1999 Playstation and PC game 'The Dukes of Hazzard: Racing For Home'.
The film was Denver Pyle's final performance before his death on Christmas Day, 1997.
This film was dedicated "In Loving Memory" to those members of the series' cast and crew whom had passed away: Phil Mandelker, Sorrell Booke (spelled incorrectly as "Sorrel"), Paul Picard, and Jim Mohlmann.
Several of the cast's articles of clothing were originals from the TV series, including Bo's shirt and Uncle Jesse's dungarees.
James Best's character Roscoe P. Coltrane is the County Commisioner (as well as Sheriff).
