The original TV series The Dukes of Hazzard was primarily filmed in two locations:
- The first five episodes were filmed on location in the small town of Covington, Georgia, and surrounding areas including Conyers and Atlanta
. Notable filming spots in Georgia include Oxford College (where the famous General Lee jump was filmed) and the Boar's Nest bar in Covington
- After the initial episodes, production moved to the Warner Bros. back lot in Burbank, California, where about 90% of the series was filmed
For the 2005 The Dukes of Hazzard movie remake, filming took place mainly in Louisiana, around Clinton and French Settlement, with some scenes shot in the New Orleans Central Business District and at Louisiana State University. The Boar's Nest in the film was represented by the Moonlight Inn in French Settlement, Louisiana
. In summary:
Production| Primary Filming Locations
---|---
Original TV series (1979-1985)| First 5 episodes: Covington, Georgia;
remainder: Warner Bros. back lot, Burbank, California
2005 Movie remake| Clinton, French Settlement, New Orleans, Louisiana
This explains the mix of authentic Southern small-town settings and studio back lot filming for the original show, and the Louisiana locations used for the film version
