Movie Reviews of White Lightning
Movie Review: "Women and da Po-leeece"
Summary: 3 Stars
Great flick, lousy Thought Police DVD. This PG-13 version lacks the teeth of the theatrical release. Why shucks, I've heard racier language on Sesame Street dadgummit.Burt is Burt, Bo Hopkins was an unappreciated gem...but they both lose "cool" points for driving 72" Ford LTDs, which no self-respecting moonshiner would have ever been caught dead in.
Hey MGM, give us the real deal consarnit! 4 stars for the DVD transfer, 1 star for the editing.
Movie Review: Full-Screen means LESS MOVIE
Summary: 2 Stars
This really is a good film... so WHY in the world did they lop off the sides of it? It is time for a W I D E S C R E E N version of this film! In widescreen, my star rating for this film is 3.5Movie Review: This DVD is a censored version.
Summary: 1 Stars
White Lightning is one of my favorite Burt films. Unfortunately, this DVD is a watered down version of the excessive original. Not that you need it, but most of the foul-language has been poorly dubbed over to words like, "shoot" and "dang". One of the main character's deaths at the end of the film is cut - you don't see the villain shot, you only see him after the fact. I wonder if this was the only available print that MGM could find in their vaults? In addition, MGM adds insult to injury by releasing a full-frame (pan-and-scan) version! Ouch! Quality of the picture is good, but that's no reason to plunk down your hard-earned cash on an incomplete version of this film. I'm sad.
