The Dukes of Hazzard, this summer's movie adaptation of the classic TV series, is coming to DVD on Dec. 6 in both unrated and original PG-13 versions.

The unrated release will contain additional scenes never shown in theaters. To be exact, there are a scant three minutes of extra footage. The unrated version is 107 minutes long whereas the PG-13 is just 104.

Both releases will contain some huge special features. The biggest being three featurettes: "Daisy Dukes: The Short Short Shorts," how they made the shorts so short and how to make your own; "The General Lee Lives," a close look at the beloved car; and "How to Launch a Muscle Car 175 feet in 4 Seconds," how they pulled off such a large scale car jumping stunt.

Also included will be Jessica Simpson's scalding hot music video for "These Boots are Made for Walking," a behind-the-scenes look titled "The Hazards of Dukes," and a fun-filled blooper reel.

Both the PG-13 and Unrated editions will be available in either widescreen or full-screen format. Each DVD will carry a SRP of $28.98.
