Detailed Bias Analysis
Primary
The film's central thesis explicitly promotes conservative ideology by consistently portraying local government as corrupt and celebrating individual and family resistance against it, strongly reinforced by traditional rural Southern cultural symbolism, including the prominent display of the Confederate flag.
The movie features a traditional, predominantly white main cast without any explicit race or gender swaps of established roles. Its narrative consistently portrays traditional identities in a neutral to positive light, with no explicit critique or central DEI themes.
Secondary
The film implicitly portrays a general sense of Christian morality and community values as a positive force, particularly through characters like Uncle Jesse and the Dukes' inherent sense of justice. While not overtly religious, the narrative aligns with virtues often associated with the faith, contrasting them with the corruption of the antagonists.
The Dukes of Hazzard, a popular action-comedy series from the late 1970s and early 1980s, focused on the adventures of the Duke cousins in rural Georgia.

Consequently, there is no LGBTQ+ portrayal to evaluate.
The show primarily features male characters, Bo and Luke Duke, engaging in physical altercations and car chases.
