Burt returns to his character as Gator McKlusky, from “White Lightning” in this film set in the bayous of Louisiana. He is supported by a fine cast of character actors in this highly enjoyable movie. Jerry Reed (Snowman in “Smokie and the Bandit”) is a fine opponent of Mr. Reynolds.
For extras you get: Back to the Bayou part 2. But if you buy the US re-release of this, there’s also a commentary track. Sadly, you’ll need a multi-region player for bot US versions, as they are region locked. However this film, is due for a coming release in the UK in the next month or two. So it might be prudent to see what extras, if any, is included on that release.
Wer den Film auf deutsch sehen mchte, mge bitte nicht erschrecken, denn es sollten die dt. Untertitel mit aktiviert werden. Der Film beginnt nmlich in Originalsprache und auch whrend der Laufzeit kommen immer wieder untertitelte Stcke vor. Ich vermute, dass auch hier Filmstcke eingefgt wurden, die nicht synchronisiert waren. Aus der Beschreibung ist das nicht ersichtlich.
Alles in allem ist das Bild gut, die eingefgten untertitelten Stcke stren nicht wirklich den Film.
Un super film de divertissements comme ont en fait plus! ! Super mise en scene j’ador Burt Reynold vraiment dommage que ses films ne passe quasiment jamais la tl en France,heureusement qu’ils existe quelques un de ses films en dvd dispo en langue franaise merci!
I’ve always really liked this 1975 Burt Reynolds movie. It has very good acting by Reynolds & Jerry Reed, Lauren Hutton, Jack Weston & Alice Ghostley. Mike Douglas has a cameo as the Govenor also in the opener. This is the sequel to Reynold’s first Gator McCluskey Movie titled “White Lightning” and that first one I’ve never seen yet to date. This is really a very serious movie with plenty of action: one of the best boat chase sequences I’ve seen that’s in the opener. It also has the right touch of comedy in many areas that is not overdone while maintaining the seriousness of the film- this means the comedy is not used to the point of being ridiculous. It deals with town corruption and underage teen drugs/prostitution. I don’t recommend this film for young teens or children-there are some adult situations in some scenes that young children should not view in my opinion. It has a very satisfying end/closure to the film- just don’t expect everything to end the way you would like, but it is satisfying. I’am not a huge Burt Reynolds fan, but this one he did back then is very good. It moves quickly-you won’t be disappointed. Charles Bernstein does the soundtrack music. It says widescreen on the disc-that’s the way it plays, but I still don’t believe this film has been remastered from it’s original master print for true film widescreen. Still a very worthwhile movie purchase. My wife and I saw this film in the movie theater the first year we were married.
DVD Case is written in German but the dialogue is the original American – phew!
I hadn’t seen this film for years but the stunts still impress, expecially considering that CGI was not around then – a real person actually had to complete each one.
Burt Reynolds returns as Gator McKlusky in the motion picture Gator which was released in 1976. Starring in this picture along with Reynolds was Jack Weston as Irving Greenfield, Lauren Hutton as Aggie Maybank and Jerry reed as Bama McCall. Gator is released from prison after serving 26 months for making homemade whiskey. Enters Irving Greenfield who’s with the justice department from the Big Apple, New York City. Greenfield hunts down McKlusky in the swamps to offer him a deal. Either Gator goes undercover to bring down his boyhood pal bring Bama McCall or his daughter gets moved around from foster to foster home, and his dad does time for making moonshine. Bama McCall runs Dunston County with his hand in everything from extortion, prostitution to murder. Enters Aggie Maybank who’s a local reporter trying to a documentary on crime in Dunston County that McCall pulls the plug on. However, things start to change when Gator starts to realize just how ruthless McCall is. Therefore, when Gator tells McCall he wants out, Bama decides that him and Gator are going to sit and talk about. However, what Gator gets is a strong mix drink and finds himself in his car sitting outside the Dunston County line. Therefore, along with Greenfield, and Aggie Maybank, Gator sets out to destroy McCall. This was your typical Burt Reynolds picture with lots of suspense and action. I give this picture 10 weasel stars just for its action alone. You can get this movie along with many other Burt Reynolds Classics right here at Amazon,Com
