New California Laws effective 7/1/07

maybe you should carefully read your post again that I quoted.....you tell us that the car has been repaired....

No, I meant it as a blooper. If you watch the scene carefully, near the very end of the movie, you can see the left front fender get bent as it comes down from the jump. Then, a few minutes later, when it's driving in the wash, it is undamaged.
Even if shot out-of-sequence, it should look damaged in the scenes after the jump in order to follow the story line.

Back to the "General Lee" Charger:
"Damage to the jumped cars was generally so severe that the cars were never used again in the show for any action; just for parts to build another Second Unit General Lee."

that makes sense....

that makes sense....

I actually read it on one of those movie mistakes website. I didn't see it when I watched the movie. So I ran the tape I have of it again, and sure enough, the dents and bends in the front left fender are gone a few scenes after the jump!

so they shot the "next scene" prior to the jump.....

The point was already made FLeet -- that happens ALL THE TIME in movies.
THe story line makes out the car survives and so the director use a different car - or as was said, repairs it.
It's a VERY common "blooper" to see car damage miracoulously disappear. If you watch closely you will regularly see it and it happens to ALL cars ... you've argued yourself in circles over the General Lee, suggest you chill and review and come back with the view you hold as I@m confused

Yes, and a few scenes later, the damaged left front end of the car is now repaired! Meaning that another car was used after the jump.

They are not going to keep driving a car with all of that damage. Everybody knows that.

Do you not understand how movies are made? And how much money is spent on things such as stunts and props?

I already posted a brief summary about the General Lee.
And I know those "bloopers" happen a lot. I've seen them on other shows like "The A-Team" and "CHiPs."

I sure do. I even have a book on how movie making and special effects are done. And yes, stunts and props do cost a lot.

The caption in the second photo reads:
"Take three girls (Jean Peters, Maggie McNamara and Dorothy McGuire) and one (partial) car, and a back-projection screen, and hey presto! Rome in "Three Coins in the Fountain (1954). Although much of the film was shot on location- indeed, this was the whole point of what was, in effect, a glamorous travelogue- for decades automobile shots were done this way. It was easy, it was lazy, and it looked terrible."

Note- This technique was also used on "Dukes of Hazzard." The scenes which show Bo and Luke in the car driving and the scenery is blurring by is actually using a stationary car and a screen with footage filmed earlier located behind and to the side of them.

what about cell phone use in general? All fines double in construction zones. (not only in Cali, but also in Oregon and Washington as I very recently observed.

I didnt make the law.
I have a list of qualities that, when people display them, should be dealt with by instant roadside excecution.
