Boss Hogg, played by Sorrell Booke, had a contract forbidding drug-related plots. John Schneider, Bo Duke, lied about his age to land the role, showcasing bold determination. Daisy Duke’s iconic shorts faced initial hesitance but became a cultural trend when paired with pantyhose. The General Lee’s famous horn was an accidental find, later added in post-production. Hundreds of Dodge Chargers were destroyed filming stunts, with producers even buying cars on the spot.

The show’s enduring appeal lies in its nostalgia, camaraderie, and lasting pop culture impact.
