White Lightning (DVD, 2003)

A very realistic (sometimes funny) look at a part of the old south in a typical Burt action movie from his prime. All his pals are here who you can find in many of his films. Bo Hopkins, Ned Beatty, Matt Clark, etc... What I like is the era the movie is made in is that muscle cars were everywhere. Typical good guys/ vs
the bad guys and bad cop movie with southern taste. Ex moonshiner / hot rodder gets paroled from the pen to work for the feds to bring down the crooked sheriff who controls the county and booze who also just happened to have murdered Burt's
younger brother. No surprises just good car chases , silly southern humor and fists flying with Burt chasing a skirt in between as usual. A fun look at a simpler time.

I liked this movie because it is a cult classic, and it was in another time of film-making, in another erea.the story line is easy to fallow, not a brite story, somewhat a dark drama, good casting, with Burt Reynolds, Bo Hopkins, Jennifer Billingsley, and of course Ned Beatty. the story of "GATOR McKlusky" a moonshine runner who wages war against corrupt police officials!! a neat film for when it is raining outside and no football on and nothing to do but watch a DVD!! I recomend this film. and as far as the sale on eBay, well the seller sent it fast and I was very happy it was also new in the shrink wrap!! witch is also why I did chose to buy it, their are some movies you just can't go wrong on and this is one of them!!

I remember seeing "White Lightning" when I was younger,and it is still a good movie to see.My teenager girls like it also.It reminds me why I liked Burt Reynolds.

Burt Reynolds breaks out the hairpiece, and gets his friend Ned Beatty a solid role in a dring-stunt and action film. A southern-made film shot in a small town, it captures an era long gone now. A real script and no CGI make it a lot better than most new films.

a great classic 1970's movie. neat high powered Ford cars.Burt Reynolds does a good job. a realistic movie
