Great Burt Reynolds Double Bill
Finally! A widescreen version of White Lighting! All my fav Burt Reynolds movies released on DVD have been full frame, why I don't know or why they didn't include both wide and full frame Verizon's like all other DVDs at that time. Anyway it seems Burt's best are slowly coming out in widescreen. I took a chance on this DVD as I already won both films and wasn't sure if White Lightening would be widescreen, it is. The End is widescreen as well, although it was already released widescreen several years ago. Here is a note for The End fans, the single disc released a few years ago has The theatrical version that has Paul Williams singing his song for the film 'Another Fine Mess', and the version included here has Bobby Goldsboro and Glen Campbell singing it, I personally prefer the Paul Williams version.
That aside, two great Burt Reynolds films for the price of one. Now if they would only release Gator in widescreen!!
You've gotta add this to your collection
Ya know, at first, I was going to get upset. This doesn't look like your normal manufactured DVD - it looks like more of a DVD-R. You know how a reg mfg DVD is clear, bronze-ish, clear coated, the like. This is more blue. a more "written" look - you can even see where the data ends. I am not sure if it is clear coated for long term protection. this is the first time I've bought anything like this. Now, why I gave if FIVE stars. I love this movie. I hadn't seen it in quite a while and it just felt good to watch. The picture quality was EXCELLENT. it looks like some processing has been done and care taken. It does not say widescreen anywhere but damn, this looks good for being a 1973 picture. Only one complaint, when they're in the alley and Burt says "you super giant ASS," you can still see his lips say HOLE lol. I did not watch The End yet so you're on your own with that one. I would say "get this" no matter what :-) enjoy
Classic Bert
White Lightning is my favourite Bert Reynolds movie. Classic line Bert line "Only 2 things I'm scared of, women and the Police!" "Gator" with Gerry Reed is a good follow up movie to white Lightning.
