Directed by Burt Reynolds

Action

Overview

After his release from prison, notorious ex-con and moonshine distiller Gator McKlusky moves in with his father in a cabin in the Okefenokee Swamp. His bootlegging plans are cut short, however, when a federal agent tells McKlusky that he will lose custody of his 9-year-old daughter unless he helps bring down local crime lord Bama McCall. McKlusky enlists the help of reporter Aggie Maybank and a few local eccentrics to bring down McCall’s empire.

Viewing Notes

RIP Burt Reynolds

Glad to have an older film on Prime and a very nice transfer. Did I see Yor / Captain America as Chopper, one of the cops chasing Gator?? Guess not but it sure looked like him.

Love how very little attempt was made to make the stunt doubles look like Burt.

Not great but certainly fun to watch Burt and Jerry go round with each other.
