Tough as nails moonshine actioner produced when Burt Reynolds was at the top of his game. Loaded with punch-ups and chases, WHITE LIGHTNING is as gritty as they come, giving Burt one of his best roles as Gator McKlusky. Adding to the toughness is Charles Bernstein's rousing score; later heard in a few Quentin Tarantino flicks. Followed by GATOR (1976).
