Movie Recap: Stroker Ace

If you love Smokey and the Bandit, Cannonball Run, WKRP in Cincinnati, Gomer Pyle, and Days of Thunder, this movie might be for you... maybe.

Stroker Ace is like a mashup of every 80s cult favorite — minus the darkness of Deliverance (except for Ned Beatty), and with none of the high-octane realism of Days of Thunder. It's wildly inappropriate by today’s standards, filled with sexual innuendo, confederate flags, and glorified nonsense — but it still makes us laugh.

When Hal Needham called, Burt Reynolds answered... and created a legendary box office flop that lives on in NASCAR movie history. Why?
Because he was driving the Fastest Chicken in the South.

Directed by:
Hal Needham

Starring:
Burt Reynolds
Ned Beatty
Jim Nabors
Parker Stevenson
Loni Anderson

Released: 7/1/1983

Dukes Review: For the record, we chose this episode because Corndog wants to pile on that CEO and that HR lady that have made infidelity the most popular public shaming event since the invention of the internet Meme. We also learn that the P in Rosco P Coltraine stands for Pervis.

This episode starts with an upside down smashed GL….and just gets better. Rosco p Coltrane gets the CEO Treatment by a well built mail order bride, and it’s the oldest trick in the book: young woman with a husband and crony convince a Sheriff to get him out of the way so Boss Hogg can be conveniently robbed while everyone is attending a wedding.

In the midst we see the General get totalled, untotalled, retotalled, untotaled, and then retotaled again (only to then be replaced by a horse). The sloppiness of automotive continuity in this episode is awful, and that’s what makes it so right - plus the stunts are off the chart. Oh, and the saying The Lord Helps Those That Help Themselves…..that’s not actually in the Bible. Might be in the US Constitution though. Or possibly National Treasure.

Dukes Review: I thought this was an episode with, by, and starring Cleetus in his debut in the Dukes of hazard. It is, it isn't, and it isn't in that order. Cleetus Hogg is introduced to us all in this Season 1 Dukes episode to play the role of Boss Hogg’s second cousin twice removed flunky. He does and he is. But he somehow ends up helping Boss Hogg in a bank heist…..that he was in on before it was conceived. And then he fails at it. And then Bo and Luke save the day…..by doing a literal body snatching swap, only I’m not sure that they meant to. Just like Cleetus said in the S3 Episode The Great Santa Claus Chase, "Can someone come get me; I’m lost!" But, it is a Season 1 Dukes Episode, shot in California with 14” wheels on Chargers, and Al Wyatt stunt driving the General in Full Send mode for the entire. C'est magnifique!

Movie Review: "F1" (The Brad Pitt Movie!)

I don’t know a thing about F1, but if this movie does for F1 what Days of Thunder did for NASCAR, an entire generation of kids are about to dream about being the next Sonny Hayes. And just like Days of Thunder was Top Gun on Wheels, F1 is Top Gun Maverick on…more expensive wheels!

Brad Pitt plays Sonny Hayes - an aging multi series vagabond driver who lives for the thrill of driving and the hope that on the track he can feel God’s pleasure upon him. (He didn't say it that way in the movie but that was the gist of it.) As a kid he was coming into Formula 1 when he had a devastating accident. It cost him his future to be the next Senna. He went to drinking spiral, bad marriages, then driving taxis, and then found his way into any racing series that would have him and let him try to tame it. And they all did. Sports cars, NASCAR, Off Road, and now F1.

His job in this movie, to get a young hot shot up to speed and save the rag tag racing team they’re all there with to save their jobs. It's predictable, it's beautiful, it's fun, and it's fast. In a nutshell: awesome.

Dukes Review: S7E1 Happy Birthday General Lee

The greatest race of the General Lee is not in this episode…..but it’s the first win of the General, and I have recently been reminded that your first win is irreplaceable. There’s no doubt about the fact that in the course of the Dukes of Hazzard, this is the race that put him on the map.

Thomas Steven Wopat presents the birth of the General Lee and - whether he meant to or not - creates the canon of the entire series by answering what every little boy needed to know most. Why are the doors welded shut? It’s here. What’s under the hood of the General? It’s here. Why is the General orange, with a rebel flag on the roof, a dixie horn under the hood, and why is it named General Lee? It’s here. More importantly, how does an old dead wreck from a junkyard become able to fly leaps and bounds, win every race, catch every bad guy, win every girl for the Duke Boys, respond to it’s name on command, be so much of a family member it gets it’s own birthday cake, and become the most magical car in the history of the known universe and the most famous car in the world? It’s here!

Movie Review: Stroker Ace

In June of 2025 we are doing our Month of Racing! We originally reviewed the Burt Reynolds Classic "Stroker Ace" in Episode 178 in February of 2021. Enjoy!

Movie Recap: If you loved Smokey and the Bandit, Cannonball Run, Police Academy, WKRP, Gomer Pyle: USMC, The Hardy Boys, Elvira: Mistress of the Dark, Deliverance, and Days of Thunder….this is like all of them combined, minus ….basically everything from Deliverance except Ned Beaty, and all of the really good stuff from Days of Thunder like Tom Cruise and amazing cinematography with real in car race footage at speed. This movie would be culture cancelled today. Sexual harassment is considered innocent fun, women are ogled, there’s (ironically) no drug use, and the confederate flags are a plenty. But when Hal Needham called, Burt Reynolds answered...and made a box office flop that has kept us all clucking and chuckling to this day. Why? Because he was driving the FASTEST CHICKEN IN THE SOUTH.
