Editorial Review:
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.
White Lightning Reviews:
Awesome Movie 
2009-08-20 - I Am Gator McKlusky! Only afraid of 2 things, Women and the Police
One of the best movie lines ever, you have to see this movie if you haven't already
Classic Southern Burt
2009-06-07 - Great DVD of a great Burt movie. Smokey and the Bandit was good but somewhat of a comedy, this is a bayou, sweatin' in the heat, southern, old school cars and guns classic. Ned Beaty as the old school redneck sheriff is excellent. Burt's 429 FOMOCO custom 300, Rebel Roy's ridge runner Merc, and the other late 60's early 70's muscle is worth the cost of the DVD alone. Whiskey runnin, still cookin', roadhouse, prison, and summer heat. Buy It!
Shakey Puddin'...............ummmmmmmmmm,good!
2009-02-14 - One of Burt's best. Great cast of co-stars with a good, believable plot. Women, whiskey, fast cars and movie stars! What else do you want?
Prison, shine, sweat, and cars. God bless our 70's redneck brethren.
2008-04-16 - 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,,,,, 
2007-10-26 - 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 attempt to hide it as they shift from one shot to the next. Now I have to watch the rest of his movies for this!
