Remember Gator McCluskey? :-)
Bama McCall was better.
Those gritty old films look dated now, but White Lightning was actually a pretty good film. The sequel wasn't as good (though it was equally gritty and full of small-town southern realism) - I just couldn't buy Jerry Reed as a heavy villain character. White Lightning is one of that uniquely '70s genre - the revenge film. Tarantino gave it hat-tip in one of the Kill Bill films, by using a snip of the soundtrack in a fight scene.
