Every HOOD SLIDE on The Dukes of Hazzard from 1979-1985 poor General Lee.

The Dukes of Hazzard wasn’t just a TV show— it was a full-blown stunt machine. The famous hood wave slide you see in this clip is one of the signature moves that made the series iconic. But behind every smooth slide, drift, and jump was a massive production effort… and a whole lot of destroyed Dodge Chargers.

The show is legendary for its insane car stunts. Across the series, roughly 250–320 Dodge Chargers (1968–1970 models) were used to create the General Lee. Most estimates land around 309 total cars, with nearly all eventually destroyed during filming. Each jump was real—no CGI existed—so every time the General Lee flew off a ramp, chances were high the car was totaled upon landing.

Stunt coordinators used reinforced frames, ballast weights, and custom-built ramps to perfect those massive jumps, some reaching over 20 feet high and clearing 100+ feet in distance. One of the most famous jumps—the Oxford College jump in the 1979 pilot—launched the General Lee over a police cruiser and traveled over 80 feet, completely wrecking the car on impact. But it looked incredible on TV.

As a result of all this, surviving screen-used Chargers are rare, expensive, and heavily sought after. The legacy of the show’s stunts remains unmatched, and the hood slide—simple but stylish—became as iconic as the car itself.

Enjoy the clip, and long live the General Lee. ⚡️🍊
