The Duke of Parma was also Duke of Piacenza, except for the first years of the rule of Ottavio Farnese (1549-1556), and the time of the Napoleonic Dukes of Parma and Piacenza, when the two were established as separate positions held by two individuals.
Therefore, the Duke of Parma is a legitimate (though not prime) claimant to the Kingdom of Spain; indeed, the current Duke of Parma, Carlos-Hugo, was a pretender to the Spanish throne in the 1970s (see Carlism).

 Movie-List - Reviews - The Dukes Of Hazzard
The rough story of the phenomenon is that two “slick and wide-eyed” moonshine delivery boys named Bo and Luke Duke (Seann William Scott and Johnny Knoxville) would out run and out smart the local law enforcement with their decked-out Dodge Charger they nicknamed “The General Lee”.
In a lot of ways “Dukes of Hazzard” the TV series and the film has a lot in common with the “Smokey & the Bandit” films where a man and his slicked out car would out run and out smart some rather clueless and corrupt police.
The film is from the director responsible for other brainless comedy hits like “Super Troopers” and “Broken Lizard’s Club Dread” and this is evident with a lot of the goofier jokes and especially with the “campus police” and “pot-head” sequences.
