- Dukes of Hazzard fans can't help but notice the orange 1969 Dodge Charger and the teasing that Knight Rider gives Dukes here. While KITT may seem to prove itself the superior car in this clip, the Dukes of Hazzard lasted 7 seasons, while Knight Rider only lasted 4. So there! Nyah. (Original airdate, Jan 21, 1983.)

I love the irony, KITT jumping the General Lee! The General Lee did a few jumps in its day! Loved the Dukes of Hazzard
- 02:40 It's over General Lee. I have the high ground
- 03:30 I hate you!!!!
K.I.T.T had almost as much graphics capability as a sega master system. NICE
And it was better than any garbage they are producing today.
Two great shows from an era gone by. We couldn't get a show like either these days
100 % right.
3:02 General Lee never had opening doors :)
Fake General Lee it open the Doors...so ídem is "General Lee".
Soo yeah,you can roast that charger,becuz its not the general if it doesnt have a glued door,flag and 01 in the side
Lol, I love how they replaced the Charger with a Monaco, it's sooo obvious
Knight Rider and The Dukes of Hazzard were one of my favourite TV shows from the 80's. The Dukes of Hazzard's first broadcast was in January 1979 and last was in February 1985. Knight Rider's first broadcast was in September 1982 and last in April 1986.
When Knight Rider was first broadcast in September 1982, The Dukes of Hazzard were airing their 5th season without Bo and Luke Duke for 19 episodes.
I still enjoy both shows and cars. Both vehicles used to get wrecked during the stunts, especially the landings of the jumps, depending how they landed, sometimes demolished the cars pretty bad. None of them were indestructible. The Charger did more spectacular jumps and was more abused than the Trans Am. They did wrecked less Trans Am's during the jumps because they sometimes used some special stunt cars with a rubber kind of body and some 1/8th scale '82 Camaro Z/28's from the 2nd season on, modified to look like the KITT car. The Dukes of Hazzard had the same treatment, I think during their 7th and last season, for some crazy dangerous jumps.
The Charger on this video that exploded was later replaced by a Dodge Monaco that was totally burned for the scene. These Monaco's also had a hard time during the filming of TV shows in the 1980's.
What about Hardcastle and McCormick?
Great info.
There's a non coincident car in the explosion. the car exploded is the Charger, but burning car is a 1978 Dodge Monaco
Knight rider vs dodge monaco?
I like this, considering that the Ford Gran Torino from Starsky and Hutch was featured in the Pilot episode of the Dukes of Hazzard.
2:30 worlds worst satnav.
To me both are my favourites,and both are really great legendary cars.
General Lee: ..."I´am your father kitt..."
.

.
.
.
Kitt:...."Noooooooooooooo"....
69 Dodge Charger = Chrysler
80s Pontiac Firebird TA = G. M.
Like the Confederate flag patches on their jackets..a direct reference to the General ;)
I saw the whole series, and this was the best turbo boost in all the episodes.
You have to remember that Knight Rider in its first season was on Friday nights, the same night as The Dukes Of Hazzard. With this being the season of Coy and Vance on the Dukes and the ratings dropping, Glen Larson and his staff decided to have some "friendly fun" at their network rivals and make people forget the General Lee. To avoid copyrights, they didn't say the car's name, but the orange Charger and the moonshine were mentioned, even though the Dukes couldn't sell it.
gotta love that stock explosion noise
Now, it is a classic.
MAN, I LOVE, LOVE sound effects from the 80s, too bad that's all gone now. Bring'm back I say.
Also the same tire squeal thats used everytime he gets going. Like its in 1st gear and spins the tires, then quickly shifts to second(theres a small pause) and a little spin in 2nd gear
yeah! the galactica explosions r just the same. 🤣😂
1:55 Friendly banter in 1980
1:55 Sexual assault in 2018
Sexual assault in 2018...and rightfully so.
Yeah rightly so look at 2 minutes and about 30 seconds.
1980 had no rules, thus everybody was doing what they want even gangs, unlike 2019 where there is rules
1982. In 1980 T/A was still Gen 2.
The car on fire wasn't even the same car, kit should've known that!! 😂😂
They could have at least found a junked out Dodge Challenger to set on fire. The difference between the two is even more than between say a rhino and an elephant
Mechknight73 that was a Dodge Monaco they blew up
I wasn't sure what model it was, but definitely not a Dodge Challenger. After all, do they expect anyone to not notice that fact that the car they blew up was a 4 door sedan?
Kit may not have been that advanced back then.
I don't get why they set fire to a chevy. Why not just continue to use the burnt out Dodge. Also 'Rocket Fire' for 'Turbo Boost'?
3:00 FAIL everyone knows the general lee can't do that XD
3:00
These are great to watch, but they get a bit embarrassing too. Bonnie gets caught fiddling with KITT...again.. but finishes in time when Michael opens the door.
Then there is "KITT's Schematic Visuals" lol omg, but the best bit is the turbo boost upto 160 MPH which looks to be not going much faster than the red car. Glad I was easily fooled as a kid :)
Like you couldn't recognise that the car burning isn't a Charger :-)
+MotorScotti it's a dodge monaco sedan
+fersk82 you can see the rear bumper at some moments
You can also see the hubcaps that are not the same with the charger in fact the charger didn't have hubcaps!!!!!
MotorScotti it was a dodge Monaco that was burning
MotorScotti stupid is a charger you know you are adopted
The woman playing the reporter is the wife of Bryan Cranston.
My dad had a 1969 Dodge Charger, yellow with black vinyl top, white interior and a 318 engine with Crager rims sitting high in the back. I was very popular in school. YEEEEE HAAAAAWW!
R.I.P General Lee's brother.
yeah i see that it was just not labeled as the general but there sleeves were :)
sometimes they roll in spare parts. There are 4 rocket motors under the car. One facing horizontally so that KITT will go faster, and 2 more in the front facing vertically to make it jump.
That sploshion noise was in all 80s programs from a team to MacGyver lol
And it was great.
That's an imposter general it's doors open
I miss Knight Rider on TV. The remake was quickly shelved.
Frederick Kamara all these damm remakes are horrible !
TheHelado36 only remake that worked as far as I know was BSG
Two iconic cars
Where's the Bandit when you need him??
east bound and down
Love how Michael and Liberty are so busy arguing, they don't even notice Bonnie's in the car working on KITT til Michael opens the door lol
I've ordered Knight Rider in the Invitations catalogue, the whole serious of it, over 4400 minutes of watching
Pause it at 2:51 for a completely totaled Trans Am. The marker light popping out of the 1/4 panel, destroyed front end, and crushed rear end...
"Looks like our Duke boys are getting some hot air!"
2:15 Charger vs Firebird. Epic, i love american cars :)
no man, the epic it's Charger vs. Mustang that's the real battle
Diesel Prime KITT was a Trans Am. get your facts right
Sean Leckey
with all respect, the firebird was the same as the trans am, if you don't know it
Diesel Prime actually it just a Trans Am. and a Trans Am Firebird is like Bandit from Smokey and the Bandit's. I grew up watching Knight Rider. Idjit.
Sean Leckey
it's a firebird trans am, jerk
David fell in love with that car he bought it but now he is selling it
Thats not the Dukes of Hazzard car as their car door did not open at all.
Don't get your Calvin Kleins into a knot there junior... it's just fun going on between the networks back then!
Pfftt the General didn't NEED a turbo boost button to jump!!!!
just some good ol boys R.I.P.
So, KITT needed turbo boost jump to overtake a 69 Charger carrying THREE people.
Man those were some crazy schematic visuals!!!!!
I dont see the insult myself. Not Every orange Charger is the General Lee. I am interested in knowing how a 1969 Charger turns into a '74 Monaco after it explodes. In the last Knight Rider series, KITT was a Mustang that could transform into a F150 pick up and other vehicle profiles. Perhaps the orange Charger in this Knight Rider clip has a technological advancement that is even beyond KITT!
3:30 HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, that is hilarious, nice Monaco ass hat.
After she says "OMG" look at the car that's on fire. If you look closely, they switched out the 70 Charger for 73 Dodge Monaco 4 door and expected you not to notice.
well, both series were "rivals" in the 80's so that's just part of it, i love both series, I don't like all the fun making of the Dukes making them look like morons, that's bullshit, but i anyway enjoy both series a lot
2:36 Think he meant to hit turbo boost, not rocket fire. 🤣
that car isnt the general lee its just a orange charger
Kenny Johanson it was a ex General Lee
Sean Leckey no its a orange charger
Kenny Johanson ex General Lee Kenny. David Hasselhoff told me in person 3 years ago. Point proven.
Sean Leckey like i said orange charger haha no butt if he told you really i think youre right
Kenny Johanson of course I'm right.
but if they ever met, and tv was reality kitt would dust the general lee
Didn't the Veluzats supply those chargers and monaco?
and did anyone else notice the tire screech from the Dukes at 1:22?
Naa, probably one of those inconsistencies you often seen in other tv shows or movies
Lol at the convenient bales of hay by the side of the road
it's not General Lee, only other charger
is there a big neon sign on 68-70 chargers that say DESTROY ME!??
Kitt al the way. But Ian also a big fan of Dodge and the dukes
I’m wondering what that was that fell off the bottom of KITT when he jumped over them?
Kitt was a cool car but he always needed to use booster rockets to do a jump... The General Lee didn't
The General Lee is the best forever and ever.❤
@TheDustyspears I'm guessing they didn't want to completely destroy the Charger, looked like it just had some fire damage, not totally on fire for however long it took to shoot the scene.
What episode was this? Don't recall it (have the full series on dvd) mind you haven't rewatched it in a decade or more
This was Season 1 Episode 15 Give Me Liberty ... Or Give Me Death
Insult? Oh please, spare me the nonsence.
Nonsense, as in "non" and "sense" put together. Its easy to remember when you take apart a conjugated word: sence is not a word.
So what ? Most people with that brand and model back in the 80's wanted to resemble the dukes of hazard.
Notice that the charger gets replaced with what looks to be a Monaco when it has exploded.....
His dodge Monaco blew up
why does every serie/movie have to crash or explode a charger (even if they don't show up)?
The dukes of hazzard,knight rider,the fast and the furious,vanish point,bullit,etc...
I mean ,the dodge charger is beautiful and now days is already really hard to get one.
Not to mention I hope someone bring Pontiac back,I want they make a new fire bird trans am
That awkward moment when your 69 charger blows up and turn into a shitty monaco
2:39 Rocket Fire = Turbo Boost 3:47
How'd that Charger suddenly turn into a Rosco-style car? LOL I reckon they thought, " Oh, no one will notice if we change cars for this scene. " Oh yes we did notice too! ha ha ....that's the 80's for ya. Kind of like some of the fighting scenes with Hasselhoff.... When us kids were watching Michael Knight fight off bad guys, they'd show a scene & it'd be a different actor. I'd be like, Hey, wait a min., that wasn't Michael Knight. LOL
KITT needs a button to fly.But THE GENERAL HAS IT NATURAL.So what if he cant talk.DIXIE SAYS IT ALL.GO 01 ALL THE WAY!!!
yheeeaa that's right
General needs a ramp to fly, KITT says he don't need no fucking ramp
Tony my friend KITT may fly on the street but the GENERAL is pretty decent also.Put them run crosscountry and Crazy C will get a box full of screws and a useless wristwatch.Ramp or not.
Much love to the General, they both are bad ass.
Yes Sir!!!100% in their own unique way.Salute
Clearly not the General Lee. The doors open!
On both shows in the later episodes you could see they're trying to save money on jumps using basically toy cars.
Well I never knew that any orange dodge charger is the general lee.
anyone notice when the Charger blew up,they replaced it with a Plymouth Fury?
Uh-huh... I like how the Charger raced without a trunk, then blew up without a hood installed, and then just seconds later it was fully scalded black..
if you watch closely it is a dodge monaco
OK, this pisses me off. I was a knight rider fan when I was a kid and I don't remember seeing this episode. I was a MUCH bigger Dukes fan as a kid. General Lee kicks K.I.T.T.'s ass any day.
Also look at it again when they show the car all black from the fire, Its not a Charger. Its a hole differnt car.
What is that. It's not the General Lee, but they have the flag on the jucket.
Definitely saying something about the general Lee and duke boys
I liked both shows but only one car stole my heart, that's why there's a 69 Dodge Charger in the garage
3:16 oh dukes are on fire!
nice jump
burning scene: took the idea straight from VANISHING POINT. Y'all know it ain't a Challenger that's been crash 'n burn... and so does this... ain't a Charger that's burnin'!
+galihxtreme That was a '67 Camaro that was trashed in the original Vanishing Point.
+Darren Martin I know. Now you let the others know.
yeah they blew it up; why the separate shot of a diff car burning??
Currently, Michael loves moonshine.
same at the end of vanishing point the original movie, the car a dodge 440 r/t challenger hits a bulldozer at the end of the movie .if you look close its a 69 camaro ,
A '69 Dodge Charger will always look cooler than any Trans Am from the 80s.
hold on is the general lee now a bad guy
Probably not, but i recommend we put the producers inside those cars right before they get ready to destroy them....Then maybe they'll reconsider their destructive ideas.
a 69 dodge charger blew up but a plymouth furry was burring. WTF?
They have a orange charger, same wheels, moonshine, and confederate flags on their shoulders. It’s a dig and dukes
thats actually a plymouth fury salon
2:10 "Looks like Liberty bit off a little bit more than she could chew" - yeh,.... and then some, hence the erratic driving. Reckon she must have chewed too hard.
that is not a charger burning just a note general lee reg is cnh 320
Wow I thought Knight Rider lasted way more than 4
What's next Smokey and the bandit vs Knight rider , anyway I'd rather Knob bonnie .
That is not the general lee
That is a sad excuse for the Dukes of Hazzard those boys were honor bound Plus if I got the doors were welded shut and completely forgot the confederate flag on the top this is Circle K‘s version of Dukes of Hazzard
After she says "OMG" Michael runs to rescue the charger guys,.. after the car fully blown... !!!! What did he expect ? Blowing on the car to cut the fire & resurect the guys ?
No sens at all !
I still prefer the General....
Or maybe someone tried to get out before the whole car exploded, and can be saved.
