Thunder and Lightning (1977)

Somebody's poisoned a whole truckload of Honey Dew, the South's favorite soft drink. Kate Jackson stars.

The cover art is the best part of this movie. LOL

No, Really.
I bought it as part of a fad I'm going through, looking for car flicks from the 70's. I knew this wouldn't be any Oscar winner, but YEESH! The story line was terrible, the acting about the same & other than the '57 Chevy, there was hardly any cool cars. :D
I did like seeing Kate Jackson as a youngster, though. April 5, 2008

Sit Back And Enjoy The Ride!

A classic 1977 moonshine film (others include Moonshine County Express, a must for future DVD release with John Saxon, William Conrad, Albert Salmi Susan Howard, Claudia Jennings and Maureen McCormick).The DVD includes both full screen and wide screen presentation and the print is amazing quality. Everyone does an excellent job and it is one of those films where you like the 'bad guys' as much as the 'good guys'. David Carradine and Kate Jackson make a likeable duo and Roger C Carmel has fun with his role as does George Murdock and Charles Napier. Also look for Sterling Holloway as one of old time moonshiners. In all a fun filled romp for all. February 14, 2008

Thunder and Lighting

Awesome film, sorry to see the 57 Chevy get all beat up though. Great mid-70s movie, and Kate Jackson is pretty hot, a true angel. Ranks up there with all the boot-leggin' movies. Carridine was awesome, better than Kung Fu. January 18, 2008

Fast Paced Fun with Young Kate Jackson

I loved this movie, I saw it first back in the theaters in 1977 when it first came out. I feel it's one of the best action movies around. It has action, comedy, great performaces. I've always liked Kate Jackson and David Carradine and they work great together. It's escapism and fun viewing on a Saturday afternoon. Buy you won't be disappointed. October 18, 2006

Smokey and the Bandit came out right after this and is a little better, but attractive pairing of young Carradine- 'Angel' Kate

Jackson. Hawai'i Five-0 vet Roger C.
Carmel is outstanding in here as Jackson's
dad. Longtime Carradine movie partner, C.
Napier is good in here as well as other
Hawai'i Five-0 vet, Ron Feinberg. Direc-
tion is only average and too much profa-
nity may turn some off. TV prints aleivate
that, but still this movie is underrated
and hard to find! I first saw it on video
rental in Roanoke, VA back in early '90's.
Like many I missed it in Theatre back in
'77 because of Smokey and the (overrated)
Bandit I. But this film is better than S.
A.t.B. II or III! August 8, 2006
