Yes it turns very dark in the second hour,but that is part of its charm.Bama McCall was one nasty guy! I know that I'm in the minority,but I never cared for White Lightning much. But it definitely has it's fans.Movieman 65https://www.blogger.com/profile/16112005503838075604noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8823340817818385797.post-27052891278847875212013-05-10T11:43:42.443-07:002013-05-10T11:43:42.443-07:00Thanks for sharing your review -- always good to g...Thanks for sharing your review -- always good to get a dialogue going.

Outside of the on-location shooting done in the Diamond State I found it to be lame in just about all areas and I'm a big Burt Reynolds fan too. I met him in person in 1994 and shook his hand and got his autograph.
