Editor's Notes and Comments:
Description:
Burt Reynolds is Gator McKlusky, a moonshine runner who wages war against corrupt police officials in this two-fisted, four-wheeling action extravaganza. With adrenaline-pumping car chases, bone-crunching brawls and terrific acting by an all-star cast, including Diane Ladd and Laura Dern, White Lightning will give you the jolt of your life! Gator is serving time in an Arkansas prison when he learns that his brother has been murdered by ruthless Sheriff J.C. Connors (Ned Beatty). Swearing vengeance, Gator agrees to go undercover to expose Connors, going to any lengths to get the goods on the sheriff and make him pay for the crime with his life.

Burt Reynolds at the top of his stud game, the hot, sweaty South, rednecks, shine, sexy 70's chicks, and powerful cars. I hardly know what to add.
As always, the 70's movies reel me in. This one's no exception. I suppose because I was a kid then, I love remeniscing. I like the big cars, the old advertisements, the clothing and hair styles, the lexicon of the era, people smoking indoors.
There is also a sense of more space as there really was more space. Land, I mean. You see more woods and fields in 70's flicks. If you're lucky, you see an area undeveloped that you know is now covered in housing or industry. 70's films feel like family, too. It seems there were only so many actors to go around so you see the same faces in many movies from this time.
And, finally, Jennifer Billingsley was hot as molten steel in looks, mannerisms, and Southern flirtatious sex appeal.
I'm from NY but I was stationed in the South as a Marine. I loved the South! This flick reminded me why.

All of these reviews are great, But,,,,,None of them even mention the rare 4 speed manual trans Ford ltd that can automaticly switch to an automatic! Once I noticed this, it got funnier and funnier. Don't know how I missed this before, There is no endeavor to hide it as they shift from one shot to the next. Now I have to watch the rest of his movies for this!

Saw this as a kid back in the 70's. You know how it is, so many times the movies you loved as a kid just don't stand the test of time. This one does. Ned Beatty makes is career turnning performance in this, forget Deliverance, this is the one which he gets to show charm, menace and is the kind of bad guy that's all about shades of grey. The 1:33 frame is the full frame, any widescreen version is just the same with a matte over it (comparing it to the laserdisc version). This film is what so many movies in the 70's aspired to be: tough, gritty, authentic, etc. Although "Gator", the sequel, is enjoyable on it's own, it lacks the simple, directness of this film. "Gator" is all about making a "Hollywood" style drive in classic, this here's a whole different kettle of fish.
Can't say enough good things about it. If you're idea of a guys DVD is "Die Hard 2", well, you'll be disappointed. But if films like "Rolling Thunder" and "White Line Fever" are what you like? Well then this is the film for you.

Ya know,I get so sick and tired of every smart aleck fast talking yankee thinking its their mission in life to trash anything and everything that I happen,and have a God given right to enjoy. If you dont like this film,fine,thats your right.But dont get your nose bent out of shape just because I do! The terms hillbilly and redneck are just as racist as all the other words that I dont use (but they are conviently overlooked).I like this movie,I think its great and if that bothers you..go back to toledo and stick your head in the snow!
