"CATCH YOU FUCKERS AT A BAD TIME?"

Stealth / The Dukes of Hazzard (2005)

July 29, 2005

I reviewed STEALTH when it came out and, though I was alone on this, I really enjoyed it. I didn’t believe I was entirely receiving it in the spirit intended, but maybe it sorta knows what it’s doing? Doesn’t matter – death of the author. These days director Rob Cohen is disdained for allegations of sexual assault, but back then it was just for the quality of his movies. Since I only knew about the movie part I was okay with him, ‘cause I always liked DRAGON: THE BRUCE LEE STORY and THE FAST AND THE FURIOUS started a run of increasingly stupid movies that I got a kick out of (after this there was THE MUMMY: TOMB OF THE DRAGON EMPEROR, ALEX CROSS, THE BOY NEXT DOOR and ).SUMMER 2005

I was pretty excited to return to it, expecting my original verdict to hold true, but I hyped myself up too much. This time it had a few laughs but the aerial spectacle (involving lots of animation and green screen cockpit acting that might’ve been a little ahead of its time) gets pretty repetitive. I did like that Cohen has virtual shots going through the circuitry of the jet, repeating his trademark move from THE FAST AND THE FURIOUS.

This retrospective makes me think that despite our many catastrophic societal faults we have at least advanced a little in the ways men and women are portrayed in movies. Between Johnny Storm in FANTASTIC FOUR, the wedding crashers in WEDDING CRASHERS and this it’s becoming clear that the charming ladies’ man who doesn’t see women as human beings until he falls for the right one but that’s okay that’s just what guys are like was maybe a little too prevalent back then. Ben (Josh Lucas, HULK) and Henry (Jamie Foxx in his first movie to come out after his Academy Award winning role in RAY) get to go around getting laid by different babes at each port, because Ben is in denial that he loves Kara (Jessica Biel in her first movie to come out after playing Whistler’s daughter in BLADE: TRINITY). But Kara, since she’s pining for Ben, saves herself for him. It’s bullshit. If she was sewing wild oatmeal or whatever too I would be all for it, but the movie’s need to keep the woman chaste as if she wouldn’t be forgiven like the men offends me. I am offended.

I always enjoy Biel’s presence, I think she’s probly the highlight here. I forgot she got pretty buff around then. Too bad she didn’t ever get to be the lead in a real action star type of movie. She was a little early for that I guess (see previous paragraph).

There are two aspects of the movie that I do think play better now. Number one is just the fact that Ebon Moss-Bachrach, now beloved from playing Richie on The Bear and recently playing The Thing in THE FANTASTIC 4: FIRST STEPS, plays the computer expert repairing the sentient jet fighter EDI. He has weirdly less screen time or dialogue than you’d think for that character but it turns out he’s the one who has the movie’s most memorable dialogue exchange with Lucas:

“He downloads songs from the Web.”

“Yeah? How many?”

(checks screen.) “All of them.”

(The song playing is “Make A Move” by Incubus and Ben says “At least it’s a good song.” There are three other Incubus songs in the movie and the score is by BT. So I’m not exaggerating when I say it was released in the year 2005.)

Aspect that aged well #2 is the cautionary tale about technology part. At the time I thought it had a trace of relevance for such a dumb movie because it was about drone warfare and the dangers of being able to kill people from a distance. That’s still true, but what feels more timely is the discussion of artificial intelligence, when genius inventor Keith Orbit (good name) explains, “Once you teach something to learn, you can’t put limits on it. ‘Learn this, but don’t learn that.’ EDI’s mind’s going everywhere. He can learn from Hitler. He can learn from Captain Kangaroo. It’s all the same.”

Spot on, right? Two decades later we have generative a.i. that is just a slurry of data, some real, some absolute bullshit, it has no clue how to discern between them except when juiced by its billionaire owner, and he grew up in apartheid South Africa so he likes Hitler way better than Captain Kangaroo. It’s a real mess. #KeithOrbitWasRight

Oh wow, I don’t remember noticing this – the screenwriter was W.D. Richter (INVASION OF THE BODY SNATCHERS, BIG TROUBLE IN LITTLE CHINA, director of BUCKAROO BANZAI). No credits since. That’s interesting.

Anyway, I can’t really recommend this one highly anymore. Maybe in another 20 years.


August 5, 2005

THE DUKES OF HAZZARD is a movie I never saw until now. I also haven’t seen STARSKY & HUTCH (2004), but I believe this is in a similar vein of doing a comedy riff on the old show, sort of trying to capture its appeal but without much sincerity. It’s directed by Jay Chandrasekhar (SUPER TROOPERS, CLUB DREAD), screenplay by John O’Brien (CRADLE 2 THE GRAVE and yes, STARSKY & HUTCH), story by O’Brien and Jonathan L. Davis. (No other credits but I don’t think it’s the guy from Korn.)

The approach was just to set it in 2005 and pretend some things are just kinda backwards because Hazzard County is out in the boonies. But now that I think about it maybe that was also the approach of the show and I was too young to get it. When the early scenes here were about delivering moonshine and trying to get laid I thought wow, I don’t think I really followed what was going on in that show. (Extreme T.M.I. warning but I remember Daisy Duke causing sensations in me that I didn’t understand. So I was not old enough for this level of sophistication.)

Anyway Seann William Scott (THE RUNDOWN) stars as Bo Duke, with Johnny Knoxville (last seen in LORDS OF DOGTOWN) as Luke Duke, and although I don’t remember the specific characteristics of their television origins, I believe these versions are more modeled around the actors’ comic personas than around the show, with Bo as a well-meaning buffoon and Luke a cocky horndog who has climbed out of more women’s windows than anyone you ever met. The all important role of Daisy is played by Jessica Simpson, the pop star most of us knew about for being on a reality show where she appeared to be cartoonishly stupid. I do not think she’s good in this (the accent is a struggle for one thing) but she was willing and capable to do the scenes where she strategically shows off her legs and what not to turn men into jelly when needed. The modernization was mainly to have her comment on the fact that this is the job she’s always stuck with (which I guess did make me chuckle a little in one part).

One choice that I bet was suggested by some dumb executive who wouldn’t let it go is that “These Boots Were Made For Walkin’” is used as Daisy’s theme song and then Simpson does a cover of it for the end credits. It’s updated as a modern pop song (produced by Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis) but also as a country song (fiddles and what not). I actually kinda like how it works with the drum machines but then the redneck parts come in and it’s too much random shit mixed together. I don’t like it.

Of course the biggest question was what they were gonna do about the flag. For those not familiar, on the show the Duke boys have a beloved orange car called “the General Lee” and it has a Confederate battle flag painted on the roof. When I was a kid my brother and I both had toys of this but I definitely thought that flag was “the General Lee symbol” – symbol for the car, not the guy, ‘cause I didn’t know who he was.

In the opening they’re driving the car and I kept craning to see if it was there and then finally they show the roof clearly and phew – just plain orange. No pro-slavery flag. Okay, that’s settled.

Actually, it’s not! Later the General Lee has been in the shop and their mechanic Cooter (David Koechner, DIRTY WORK) soups it up for them. But while they’re driving to Atlanta people keep yelling at them about being late to a Klan rally and shit, and they’re very confused until they look at the roof and see that Cooter put the flag on it. They don’t seem to be into it, and know it puts a bullseye on them, it’s kind of like when John McClane has to wear the racist sandwich board in DIE HARD WITH A VENGEANCE. It’s a pretty funny joke and also an interesting note that twenty god damn years ago even a dumb lowbrow movie like this knew that we all agreed that it was bad to wave the flag for the army that tried and failed to overthrow the country because they didn’t want slavery to end. Now somehow some motherfuckers act like it’s undecided or there’s some ambiguity about it. Nope. Sorry guys. Even the fucking good ol’ boys know.

Within the first couple scenes of this I thought “Oh I see, they’re kind of trying to do a Hal Needham movie.” Then I remembered that in fact Burt Reynolds was gonna be in it (as Boss Hogg). Then I wondered if maybe the show was trying to be a Hal Needham movie too and I just didn’t know what that was back then. Anyway, the bloopers on the end credits pretty much confirmed the first part.

So in honor of Hal Needham I should mention the stuntwork – second unit director is Dan Bradley (FROM DUSK TILL DAWN 2 and 3, MONKEYBONE, SWORDFISH, THE BOURNE SUPREMACY), stunt coordinators Darrin Prescott (SKY HIGH, and Hugo Weaving’s double in the MATRIX sequels) and Scott Rogers (also SKY HIGH, and SPIDER-MAN 2). According to IMDb Chad Stahelski was Knoxville’s stunt double and David Leitch was assistant fight coordinator. I also read that Knoxville initially turned down the role but changed his mind in part because he wanted to work with Bradley. Anyway, I’m sure everybody had fun making cars go off jumps and shit.

THE DUKES OF HAZZARD got horrible reviews but did make $111 million at the box office and might have been profitable (though you know… cost of marketing, etc.). Unsurprisingly it didn’t do great in other parts of the world. I actually feel sort of comforted if the rest of the world doesn’t know what the fuck the deal is with this. I didn’t enjoy it much, but it has moments, such as the jokes about Boss Hogg’s suit when he visits the jail. Some guys think he’s a pimp and tell him he should have a feather on his hat. Another guy tells him you’re not supposed o wear white after Labor Day. Willie Nelson plays Uncle Jesse – always a plus to have Willie Nelson in any movie.

You could do worse, but that doesn’t mean you need to settle for this.

 

NOTES:

Summer 2005 connections:

Like SKY HIGH, released the week before, it has Lynda Carter and Kevin Heffernan in it.

Like HERBIE: FULLY LOADED it has a plot about a famous NASCAR driver coming to a small town to race a local champ.

  1. I don’t think I ever heard of Rob Cohen’s allegations, but at this point it’s hard to keep track of who turned out to be a piece of shit.

    Never saw STEALTH, but one dude from the advertising agency that I worked at back then really loved it. I was pretty fond of the BT/David Bowie song from the soundtrack, although it kinda baffled me that Bowie collaborated with a B-list producer on such a seemingly dumb movie, but I guess Bowie always did what he wanted so why not?

    I do remember seeing DUKES on TV once, but being absolutely indifferent to anything that happened on screen. The show was actually a bit of a childhood favourite and when it last year or so actually was shown on Saturday afternoon again (Those nostalgic shows are these days more or less that work ratings wise on German daytime TV), it actually held up to my surprise. Okay, it was always a bit low brow, but the show commited to being silly and formulaic and it was what it was and still is.

    My point is: I was not against a movie adaptation and not even changing certain things about it, like making it a bit raunchier or turning Roscoe P. Coltrane into an actual sinister villain (Played by M.C. Gainey!) instead of the loveable goof that he was on the show, but this and the first GARFIELD live action movie are the only two movies that I remember watching with a blank scare, completely detached from anything that happened, because nothing in it caused any kind of reaction.

    One random memory that just popped up: An early review on AICN from someone who claimed to be in the US military and having seen it at an early screening for the soldiers. I know, accusing everybody of being a plant was kinda of a running gag on that site back then, but that review felt so strange, with the worst part being the writer going gaga over the car jumps, calling them the best that were ever put on film, even better than the big one in GONE IN 60 SECONDS.

  2. In the summer of 2005, I was visiting my parents (I was 22), and went with them to the movies. We couldn’t decide between STEALTH and WEDDING CRASHERS, so my dad saw STEALTH and my mom and I saw WEDDING CRASHERS. When we all met up again in the lobby afterwards, my dad said STEALTH was “pretty good.” And that’s all I know about STEALTH.

    Back in August of 2018 I decided to do a month-long Burt Reynolds film festival and watched 18 or 19 BR movies. This isn’t an honor I’ve bestowed on any actor before or since. I’m really not sure why I did it, unless it was because I unconsciously received a premonition from the cosmos that ol’ Burt was about to die. Anyhow, the last decades
    of Burt’s life were awful hard to select movies from. Not being in the mood to rewatch BOOGIE NIGHTS, from the 90s I chose COP AND A HALF and STRIPTEASE. The latter is a really good Elmore Leonard crime farce with an excellent role for ol’ Burt that unfortunately stars an earnest, award-seeking Demi Moore trying to bring modern dance and artistic self-expression to the strip club. If she tried doing that at a real strip club people would boo her off stage and maybe throw shit at her. Nobody goes to the strip club to witness the artistic expression of the dancers. (I’m hardly a habitué of such places, it’s like paying gourmet prices to smell food, but I know the score.) COP AND A HALF was fucking great, though. It’s like CITIZEN KANE x THE GODFATHER x ALIENS x L’AVVENTURA. From the 2010s I watched THE LAST MOVIE STAR as recommended by Vern. Good movie dragged down by a dumbass title.

    Anyhow the only thing that looked vaguely intriguing from the aughts in ol’ Burt’s filmography was THE DUKES OF HAZZARD, because I enjoyed the show as a tyke. Good time brothers driving cars off shit was enough for me. By the magic of low, low expectations, I had fun. I too was wondering how they’d handle the Confederate flag shit and was satisfied, and any movie that has Willie Nelson turning his own ‘shine into molotov cocktails during a car chase is alright in my book. Plus I liked ol’ Burt’s Boss Hogg being a genuine malevolent threat instead of a blubbering buffoon.

  4. Are there any fans of the direct-to-cable/DVD DUKES OF HAZZARD prequel, or is it just me? I found the casting to be much better than the theatrical film. Willie Nelson is the only one to reprise his role, seving as the link between the two movies (much in the same way Eugene Levy serves as the North star for the DTV AMERICAN PIE movies). I can’t explain why, but it all works better when everything is scaled down for a smaller screen. I haven’t seen it in a few years though, so maybe the passage of time has clouded my memory of the movie.

  5. I was kind of fascinated by the inclusion of three(!!!) original Incubus songs on the soundtrack, so I just had to find out how that happened, and I came across this quote on Wikipedia:

    “American rock band Incubus wrote and recorded three new songs for the film. According to guitarist Mike Einziger, Cohen was a big fan and ‘wouldn’t stop asking.'”

  6. I take it you’re not a car man, Vern. But this is all about the car. And director Chandrasekhar seems to get this. I could go on and on about the different Dodge Chargers they use, and used in the TV show. But I don’t think this is the right kind of audience for that. Let me just say that as a car movie, this works.

  7. “These days director Rob Cohen is disdained for allegations of sexual assault”

    One of his accusers was Asia Argento, who herself got accused of sexual assault later.

    This by no means indicates that if you’re a Piece Of Shit who gets accused by Another Piece Of Shit for being….a Piece of Shit….it does not lessen your Piece of Shit-ness.

    Leaving that aside, have always found Cohen to be a very middling director…apart from DRAGON THE BRUCE LEE STORY and XXX I don’t believe I’ve watched a single one of his movies a second time. Hurricane Heist just made me want to rewatch TWISTER again and he may have launched the F&F series but it’s the Justin Lin helmed installments which took it to another level. I still hate MUMMY 3: HOW TO WASTE JET LI AND MICHELLE YEOH.

    As for STEALTH, I simply cannot remember a single thing about it.

  8. This retrospective is making me realize I might have been even more disconnected/disinterested in mainstream pop culture in 2005 than I am now! I turned 20 that year, so in theory most stuff should have been targeted directly at my newly-adult with disposable income self, but I barely watched any of this shit. Out of curiosity, I just went through the top 350 releases for 2005 on IMDB and it looks like I have watched less than 30 movies from that year…

    Best movie of the year for me was probably The Descent, or Kill Zone/SPL but I think that didn’t come to the US for another year or two. I loved Sin City and Serenity.

    I liked The Protector, Batman Begins, Hostel, The Proposition, Wallace & Gromit, Brick, Unleashed, The Devil’s Rejects, Wolf Creek, Feast, Mirror Mask The Aristocrats, Thumbsucker, the FullMetal Alchemist movie, and Mr and Mrs Smith. V for Vendetta and Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy were decent movies but not great adaptations.

    Transporter 2, Land of the Dead, and the Strangers with Candy movie were all disappointments to me as a fan of those franchises. I hated Saw II after enjoying the first one and never returned to that franchise. Over the years I have seen most of COnstantine and 40 Year Old Virgin on TV and they are ok. It took me a decade to watch Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, which I liked a lot but not quite as much as its most vocal fans. I have watched the terrible Tommy Lee Jones comedy Man of the House multiple times on cable because of the cast of cute ladies. A History of Violence and Kingdom of Heaven have been on my watchlist for decades.

  9. I think I’m the opposite of Vern. I didn’t see Stealth til DVD and thought it was fun but haven’t watched again. I covered Dukes of Hazzard in ‘05 but didn’t like it.

    I want to talk about Inspector Hammer’s take on COP AND 1/2 though. I haven’t seen it in decades but I do know that when I first did I did not yet know what “I’m your worst nightmare: an 8-year-old with a badge” was referencing.

  10. Man, I remember being excited for Stealth but for all the wrong reasons. And I was heartily rewarded for my cynicism. (I had just begun my ‘career” as a snarky internet film “critic” and my acid pans were always favorites)

    But one thing I did know then that i still contend now is that Rob Cohen is a bad director. F&F is ok, and the Skulls is bonkers but not for good reasons, but all the rest are bland and poorly made, with every directorial choice being the wrong one.

    Uwe Boll took a lot of shit for incompetent filmmaking, but he only had himself to answer to. Major studios kept giving Cohen giant movies because he managed to strike gold with the Vin Diesel train. But my punk 20-something self knew better, man. I knew from Daylight, Dammit.

    Anyway, im still pretty sure Stealth is bad. But haven’t seen it since theaters.

    Ditto Dukes, which I made myself like because of the cast and my unapologetic love of Broken Lizard. I bet some of the car stuff is neat.

  11. I guess casting Sam Shepard and Joe Morton in STEALTH was intended to situate the movie at some imagined interface of THE RIGHT STUFF and TERMINATOR 2, but in reality it only highlights what STEALTH is not. Josh Lucas only really has one great movie to his name (two if you include WONDERLAND, but that’s all Val’s show) and in that he plays the lost love of the titular RED DOG.

    I’ve not seen THE DUKES OF HAZZARD, but I will hazard that much of the appeal of the original show to a non-US audience was the CB radios as much as the cars or, indeed, Catherine Bach in shorts. Growing up in the west of England in the 70s and 80s it seemed that every other person I knew had a CB radio in their car and a handle like the Cerne Abbas Gent or Jethro Dull. I guess the internet and mobile telephony has put paid to all that.

  12. I guess Vern has stopped making the Detective John Stealth joke. I never will though because it’s too good.

  13. It might not be fun to listen to anymore but there was an amazing episode of The Movie Crypt with Rob Cohen where he explained that his main feeling for THE FAST AND THE FURIOUS is that they are like pegasus but with a car as their lower half instead of a horse.

  14. Random STEALTH thoughts – I much preferred Clint’s FIREFOX both then and now. The effects might look less photo real, but that ‘feel’ real. And the first half of the movie is actually a pretty slick little LeCarre like espionage thriller where Clint has to infiltrate the USSR.

    To refresh my memory of STEALTH – I went and watched a few clips on YouTube – I noticed the particularly intense editing of the movies trailer – so I counted the cuts – a 120 second trailer had about 135 cuts, more than 1 per second – sheer craziness.

    Jessica Biel always struck me as someone with more talent than she was being asked to use – I kept wishing that a more competent director would find a way to ask for more from her than ‘pretty, sexy.’ I guess the movie HITCHCOCK (2012) was a bit along that path.

    THE ADVENTURES OF BUCKAROO BANZAI ACROSS THE 8TH DIMENSION – cannot believe this has still escaped Vern’s attention – but also secretly glad – since it is one of my all time favourite films – even as a 14 year old in 1984 when it was released I got every single gag, in joke and SF riff, and if Vern hated it I might be crushed.

  15. It’s interesting – I love W.D. Richter for Buckaroo Banzai and Big Trouble in Little China so I definitely caught Stealth on Digital Versatile Disc. I don’t remember it being as bad as the reviews were saying, but I knew it was nowhere close to those other WDR movies. Adding in Dukes of Hazzard really brings back some strong memories for me. Not necessarily good ones. I was in my mid-20s when these movies came out, living in a studio apartment, working my first real job, and watching a lot of movies on DVD. I had Netflix and Blockbuster All-Access (or whatever their mailer+in-store service was called). I watched a lot of movies. And because I was in my mid-20s, I wasn’t watching good movies, no, I was watching whatever was on the New Release wall. All of these movies merge into slop for me, and either because of that time in my life (fairly depress(ed/ing)) or because these are legitimately not good, I do not have high opinions on the movie year 2005. Looking back now, while I recognize that I wasn’t in a good place, I also know this is a bad time for cinema. I don’t know if it was the Bush years, that CGI was starting to be in every movie (but still not a mature technology), or that blockbusters were reaching new lows, but I don’t remember a lot of gems from this era. So while I remember Stealth being fine and liking Seann William Scott enough to see Dukes (he’s great in The Rundown), there’s no way I’m revisiting these just because in many ways this era of movies reminds me of worse times, both for myself and movies (I would add the country, but we’ve blown right through how bad the Bush years were).

  16. Perspective on DUKES OF HAZZARD from someone at the other end of the world:

    The TV show was pretty popular along with BJ & THE BEAR here in Malaysia, because episodes were paced like lightning with equal of measures of action and comedy and featured sexy women rocking it in short shorts.

    Both these shows also went a long way to perpetuate the stereotype (among us non-USA dwelling folks) that the American South’s primary occupation was driving 18-wheeler trucks, peddling moonshine , guzzling beer, pimping up muscle cars and demonstrating a healthy disdain for the LAW by evading corpulent and corrupt Sheriffs.

    I believe the SMOKEY & THE BANDIT movies plus Sam Peckinpah’s CONVOY helped push this narrative along as well.

  17. I have thought a lot about THE ADVENTURES OF BUCKAROO BANZAI ACROSS THE 8TH DIMENSION over the last 40 years. Most days, it’s probably one of my Top 20 favourite movies. Which is crazy – I love Akira Kurosawa (we’re gonna talk about Kurosawa again soon, right?) and he made a number of objectively better films with great casts and one of the most charismatic movie stars of the last century, but those films don’t speak to me like BUCKAROO BANZAI. I’d love to see a Vern review of it, but I don’t worry that anything he would say would diminish my respect for him or the film. Vern’s done the work, and I know he’s not just going to say “Why do you like that stupid movie?” as some have to me.

    Richter deserves much credit for nurturing and marshalling Earl Mac Rauch’s screenplay, for the brilliance of the casting, and for helping the latter get the tone of the former. But much of the action is poorly shot and edited, and there’s rarely any real tension. And I don’t care.

    BUCKAROO BANZAI is not a stupid movie. It’s a movie about a group of people coming together in mutual respect – love, if you will – and respect for their expertise to use science and empathy and knowledge to take on chaos and nihilism and the crazy folk who promote them.

    I could go on but I don’t want to be a regular Blue Blaze bore.

  18. One thing about Stealth is that the David Bowie song on the soundtrack is one of the strangest releases of his career. Just this weird little track, insanely catchy, that doesn’t align at all with his classic era revival turn that defined the rest of his 20th c output.

    im on the bus to see AC/DC

  19. Jessica Biel always was buff. Unfortunately she is the only reason to watch just about everything movie she has ever been in… and you can just watch those TnA parts elsewhere in 30 second clips and not waste your time on the other 1.5 hours. She has a distinct talent for picking middling to awful movies to appear in. I can’t tell you as a result whether she is a talented actress or not because she has never really elevated the lousy material she has been given. But she sure is pretty.

    You could say the same for Jessica Simpson except that it is a pretty safe bet that she is a terrible actress.

  20. There was at least one time when Biel chose really interesting material:

    https://outlawvern.com/2012/08/21/the-tall-man/

  21. Hey cool thanks, I will definitely make an effort to see that one then. I have seen MARTYRS. I think. I may have excised it from my brain somehow because while I remember shots of a farmhouse and torture and all kinds of fucked up woman-related shit the Wikipedia entry does not ring bells. This may have been some other fucked up female horror that I saw.

  22. I always laughed at the line mentioned above about the plane downloading songs, and the military guy actually asks, “How many?” Why does it matter? Is it gonna be a big deal if the guy says, “Ten”? Or, apparently, “Just the Incubus ones?”

    Anyway, I remember this movie really testing my patience, but the really disappointing moment is in the third act when the characters literally join World War III in progress and it’s just one small scrum in the desert. One of the more egregious examples of a big budget movie literally running out of money.

    For Buckaroo enthusiasts, I recommend “Buckaroo Banzai Against the World Crime League”, it’s a sequel in novel form and it is dizzying and complex. Knowing it never has to be a movie, they really made it as weird as possible, and Lizardo ends up constantly returning in a new body. It foreshadows a third story, I think, but I also remember it being incredibly hard to follow. Which tracks, I guess.
