Ran across this recently.

It an old 70's movie filmed here in GA about a family of moonshiners and centers around the driving exploits of the two younger boys who have to haul it.

There's a corrupt cop constantly after them and a town 'Boss' trying to get them out of the way so he can own the liquor business.

Sound familiar? It ought to, it's what the Dukes of Hazard was based on.

It even has Waylon Jennings doing the songs and the voice overs. There's an 'Uncle Jesse' and while there's no Daisy, there is a cute blond who takes her place as the female sidekick.

In reality it's not a great movie, and it looks like the film was copied to VHS before it made it to DVD. On the flip side it's fun to watch and some folks on here might even recognize some of the places it was filmed in (unlike DoH which was mostly filmed in Hollywood).

It's a solid 'B' movie and worth watching just for the time capsule it is.
