Deserves a Special Edition
With a feature long commentary by Burt Reynolds. As far as I'm concerned (and I don't seem to be alone on this), this is the best film Burt Reynolds ever made (Run, Simon, Run --1970 was also pretty damn good and deserves a better looking edition than the one currently available). White Lightning deserves to be released in Widescreen with commentary and extra's. It is a tribute to the times, and to the depth and passion of Reynold's acting abilities when handed a good script. I could have done without the annoying flirty girl in the film, but somehow it all seems to work despite that and Reynolds truly dominate the screen throughout the whole movie.
