Movie Reviews of Thunder and Lightning
Movie Review: Awesome B-Movie Goodness
Summary: 4 Stars
I just watched this and had a great time! Polyester, ridiculous dialogue, and fun car chases...what more could you ask for?? Most of the movie involves Kate Jackson (pre Charlie's Angels) tagging along with a young David Carridine as they try to catch up to a load of tainted moonshine followed by the law and gangsters, involving a lot of fun car chases and Keystone-cops antics. This film is a hoot! A precursor to Smokey And the Bandit, this is an obviously low budget romp directed by Roger Corman and stars several actors you will recognize, most notably Roger C. Carmel, who played Harry Mudd in two Star Trek episodes, and Sterling Holloway, who played the voice of the snake in the Jungle Book. If you like car chase movies in the vein of Dirty Mary Crazy Larry, Vanishing Point and White Lightning, this will make a fun addition to your collection. I laughed through the whole movie. Pop it in, crack open a Coors and enjoy the show!Movie Review: thunder and lightning

an Old classic of fast cars and movie actors.a little comedy of the "running moonshine" days.Movie Review: Some thunder very little lightning
Summary: 3 Stars
The movie doesn't have many special effects or a fancy set, but it does have a good plot. The many stupid gags almost make you laugh throughout the film. Favorite scenes... David takes Kate's braw off from under her shirt and them breaking hundreds of bottles of soda onto a parking lot.
Movie Review: Buzz from Rebel directed
Summary: 2 Stars
I had mentioned that Corey Allen was directing this feature when Sal Mineo was murdered. The photography was terrible by whomever the photographer/cameraman was. Too many ECU's (extreme close-ups). If Corey could redo the film today, I'm sure it would be much better.
I bought it because it was one of David Carradine's feature films from a long time ago. Corey Allen was Buzz in REBEL WITHOUT A CAUSE. That role finished his acting career. He was always associated with that role, as the bad guy who fought James Dean. But, his directing career was pretty successful. This should be a collectible just to have a piece of Carradine's work, now that he is gone. I was surprised to see this on Amazon. Practically at a give away price too.
Movie Review: The cover art is the best part of this movie. LOL

No, Really.
I bought it as part of a fad I'm going through, looking for car flicks from the 70's. I knew this wouldn't be any Oscar winner, but YEESH! The story line was terrible, the acting about the same & other than the '57 Chevy, there was hardly any cool cars. :D
I did like seeing Kate Jackson as a youngster, though.
