6!!This work provides examples of:
7
8* AccidentalMisnaming: A character misremembers Enos' name as "Anus". ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'' did the same joke, and they're probably not the only ones.
9* AdaptationalAttractiveness: In the series, Boss Hogg is practically the TropeCodifier of the FatSweatySouthernerInAWhiteSuit. In the movie, however, he's portrayed by the much slimmer Creator/BurtReynolds.
10* AdaptationalPersonalityChange: Bo and Luke's personalities are both switched and modernized. In the original series, Bo was the skirt chaser and the CasanovaWannabe while Luke was the more smart and level-headed one. In this movie, Bo is the more grounded one while Luke hits up a lot of the girls.
11* AdaptationalVillainy: The movie version has Roscoe and Boss Hogg portrayed as traditional, ''competent'' evil guys instead of the [[IneffectualSympatheticVillain goofball minor incompetents]] they usually were in the TV show. While they were corrupt, greedy jerks in the show, too, they were known to PetTheDog on occasion, were relatively [[HarmlessVillain harmless villains]], and [[EvenEvilHasStandards had lines that they wouldn't cross]] - for example, Hogg hated violence and avoided physically harming people as part of his schemes.
12* AdaptationDyeJob: Daisy Duke is changed from a brunette to a blonde.
13* AllGuysWantSororityWomen: There's one scene that involves Seann William Scott and Johnny Knoxville walking through one of these places, and the women wear less and less as they progress.
14* AndStarring: The opening's cast roll ends "with Creator/LyndaCarter and Music/WillieNelson".
15* CopsNeedTheVigilante: It actually did this mostly right. The Duke cousins all broke the law, but they did so not only without permission but in the face of police antagonism.
16* DramaticCurtainToss: The 69 Charger gets a Dramatic Dust Cover Removal.
17* DriverFacesPassenger: Seann William Scott plays this one for laughs.
18* EroticEating: Daisy Duke tries to distract some lawmen with some ''very'' suggestive (melting) ice cream eating in the direct-to-DVD sequel.
19* FramingTheGuiltyParty: An example of this being done to a good guy. To get the Dukes out of the way, the cops plant a still at their home. As the Dukes are known moonshine smugglers, it's questioned why the cops ''had'' to frame them in the first place. Daisy explains that the cops are just too stupid to find the real one.
20* GroinAttack: The BarBrawl scene has one when Daisy sends a pool cue ball shooting from a fan into some poor schmuck's groin.
21* ICantBelieveImSayingThis: Bo and Luke Duke unwittingly get some African-Americans mad at them and, before they have a chance to harm the Dukes, a police car shows up. One of the Dukes comments that he's glad to see the cops, then adds that he never expected to say that.
22* MistakenForRacist: Bo and Luke are shown stuck in traffic in UsefulNotes/{{Atlanta}}. As several other drivers pass them, they make comments. The first is a stereotypical [[DeepSouth redneck]] trucker who shouts out "Southern by the Grace of God!" leaving them a little confused. Then a black couple drives by them and asks them if they're late for their Klan meeting, leaving them even more confused. Another redneck drives by complimenting them again. Then another woman drives by and sarcastically says "Nice roof" before FlippingTheBird at them. Bo and Luke then check their roof of the General Lee and discover the Confederate flag that it was so well known for on the TV series.
23-->'''Luke''': [[SarcasmMode We're gonna make some friends up here.]]
24** later on in the movie after getting [[AshFace dirt blown on their faces]] both Bo and Duke end up [[CaughtInTheBadPartOfTown on the wrong part of town]] and a group of thugs confront them for their "black faces" and even being bigoted themselves by calling them "hillbillies" with Bo trying to explain they prefer the [["Appalachian-American" term making them even more angry]] and asking who painted the Dixie Battle flag on the car roof, [[BlameGame they point at each other]] and nearly get beaten for it, when [[DoubleSubversion suddenly a squad car blows its siren… turns out the officers were black]]
25--> '''Narrator''': woops.. there goes the canoe
26* {{Narrator}}: Junior Brown narrates the film.
27* RidiculousExchangeRates: This exchange between the Dukes and a college kid they've suckered into analyzing a core sample they've given him: "How does 24,000 yen a year sound?" "Sounds like 40 bucks." It's actually about $240.
28* TimeForPlanB: Gave us the line: "Plan B's jes' a fancy way of sayin' '[[IndyPloy drivin' by the seat o' yer pants]]'."
29* TorsoWithAView: Bo Duke is shown a turkey that has a nice hole blown through it.
30* UnratedEdition: There is an unrated scene of the boys crashing in on topless college coeds.
31* WheresTheKaboom: Sheev and the Dukes need to crack a safe, so they cover it in [=C4=] and try to blow it up. The fuse fails to set if off, so they're left with a safe covered in potentially dangerous [=C4=]. Luke solves the problem by shooting a flaming arrow at the safe, creating an impressive explosion.
32* WhyDontYouMarryIt: One of the Duke cousins said he'd sleep with their car. When the other asked if he meant ''in'' instead of ''with'', the cousin confirmed he meant to have sex with it.
