Movie Recap: Stroker Ace
If you love Smokey and the Bandit, Cannonball Run, WKRP in Cincinnati, Gomer Pyle, and Days of Thunder, this movie might be for you... maybe.
Stroker Ace is like a mashup of every 80s cult favorite — minus the darkness of Deliverance (except for Ned Beatty), and with none of the high-octane realism of Days of Thunder. It's wildly inappropriate by today’s standards, filled with sexual innuendo, confederate flags, and glorified nonsense — but it still makes us laugh.
When Hal Needham called, Burt Reynolds answered... and created a legendary box office flop that lives on in NASCAR movie history. Why?
Because he was driving the Fastest Chicken in the South.
Directed by:
Hal Needham
Starring:
Burt Reynolds
Ned Beatty
Jim Nabors
Parker Stevenson
Loni Anderson
Released: 7/1/1983
Produced by: Warner Bros AND Universal Pictures

Welcome back to Hazzard County—and happy 66th birthday to Producer Bernie McPartland! It’s the perfect automotive birthday for a guy whose favorite Chevelle is a ’66. We celebrate with repurposed birthday decorations, questionable snack cakes, embarrassing pictures, and birthday messages from friends including Clay Millican and Mike Finnegan. Bernie even gets a trivia game built around himself. Surely he can win that one!
Welcome back to Hazzard County! This week we’re reviewing The Dukes of Hazzard Season 2, Episode 8, “Hazzard Connection,” and this one is exactly why I love Season 2. Real driving, hard hits, wonderfully sloppy production details, and a plot where stolen racing engines are apparently the criminal currency of choice. What more could you want?
Welcome back to Hazzard County! This week, we start with Cale Yarborough’s famous fight after the 1979 Daytona 500 and a more recent NASCAR confrontation. That leads us into a conversation about racing, the headlines it makes, and how a new generation of drivers builds an audience through video.
Mike Finnegan sent us something that none of us had ever seen—or even heard of—before: a forgotten 1983 television adaptation of Six Pack. Intended as a pilot for a weekly series based on the Kenny Rogers movie, it starred a pre-Miami Vice Don Johnson as race car driver Brewster Baker. Markie Post, Jennifer Runyon, Billy Warlock, and a very young Joaquin Phoenix rounded out a surprisingly recognizable cast.
Welcome back to Hazzard County! This week, we confirm that Days of Thunder 2 is officially moving forward and discuss whether Tom Cruise can convincingly put Cole Trickle back behind the wheel of a NASCAR Cup car. We also share an update on our uncertain Moparty plans, the people representing K&F at the event, and why my General Lee will probably remain safely at home.
