Trivia
During the restoration, John Schneider donated the engine from his General Lee. It was the last General made for the "Dukes of Hazzard" reunion movie.

The five 1969 Dodge Chargers used in this film were actual "General Lee's" from The Dukes of Hazzard (1979), sold by Warner Bros to this production. Out of the five, two survived in the hands of stunt driver George A. Sack Jr. They are now being restored for "Dukes" stunt coordinator Gary Baxley by Smith Bros. Restorations.

Quotes
Joe Barker: There's order to the chaos of the universe - as above, so below. I mean, even here, there's a natural order posed by me, because here: I am God.

Rick Benton: Now listen, the most important thing you gotta realise about driving is that you gotta drive defensively. Always watch where you going, don't assume anything. Even if you got a right of way, don't insist on it - you got that?

Jeff Benton: [about Rick taking him out for a driving lesson:] You're afraid I'm gonna crack up your truck. Look, why don't we just forget about it?

Q
Based on true events?
A
Contrary to rumours, sadly the story is NOT based on true events.
Q
How does it end?
A
Rick tracks down and chases the villain who cruelly murdered his brother, and in the final scene smashes his truck straight into Skull's black "death car". Rick pulls him out of his wrecked car (he turns out to be a Prince look-alike) and hands himself over to the police after making the citizens arrest.
