Movie Reviews of White Lightning
Movie Review: Redneck Masterpiece
Summary: 4 Stars
"White Lightning" is an interesting curio from the seventies. Call it good ol' boy chic. I can almost be certain that this film didn't get much critical play from more fashionable circles but I'm sure the denizens of the drive-in understood. This film has down home ambience that the Coen brothers would kill for. At times the film's languid pace was a little too slow for my Yankee sensibilities but the pace picks up as the film progresses. Burt Reynolds has an easy-to-take charm here that he seemed to have lost as he progressed (regressed?) into a box-office superstar. Ned Beatty is effective as the murderous boss of the backwater Arkansas county but he doesn't overplay it. Also good is R.G. Armstrong as an evil moonshiner. This ain't classic stuff but it's good Saturday night light viewing fare.Movie Review: The Forgotten Cool of Burt Reynolds
Summary: 4 Stars
I caught WHITE LIGHTNING on cable and what's interesting to me is how lean, mean and cool Burt Reynolds was. The problem is that too many of Burt's horrible later films have been rotated to death on cable TV and you forget how much macho charisma Burt had. Forget STROKER ACE, CANNONBALL RUN 2, SMOKEY & THE BANDIT 2.
In the early 70's, Burt was kicking butt and taking dames.
WHITE LIGHTNING also had a great supporting cast, including R.G. Armstrong, Bo Hopkins and Ned Beatty as a very sinister and corrupt Southern sheriff.
Like DELIVERANCE, this movie is one to see for Burt Reynolds the actor, or at least the icon.
Movie Review: White lightning
Summary: 4 Stars
I watched this movie when it was on TV years ago....this was before a few years ago I found the VHS tape of the VHS is getting I start looking for the DVD version, and I find it on amazon.....which is good. I didnt notice much difference in the DVD over the tape, but DVD does permit you to freeze love the part when Gator goes from 3rd down to second gear and gets on it.........in the beginning.........but actually the car is an automatic, not a 4 spd.........the engine is supposedly a 429.........Movie Review: All of these reviews are great, But,,,,,
Summary: 4 Stars
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!Movie Review: Wheres The Other Five

Click go the shears boys click click click
Wide is his blow as his hands move quick
My version goes for 96 mins leaves plenty of holes in the plot
why do studios continue to hack away at original releases
and bring out flawed pirated type copies??
4.5 Stars For Cool Hand Burt & 0 For the Shearers
