Gator is a 1976 action film sequel to White Lightning and starring Burt Reynolds in his directorial debut.
Gator McKlusky (Burt Reynolds) had been just released from prison following the events of White Lightning and is living in the Okefenokee Swamp with his father and daughter. Federal agents know that he is still making moonshine with his father (John Steadman) and Suzie (Lori Futch) and use this information to coerce him into assisting them to catch a corrupt politician.
Following the events of White Lightning, Gator McKlusky (Burt Reynolds) has just been released from prison and is living in the Okefenokee Swamp with his father and daughter. In New York, a federal agent named Irving Greenfield (Jack Weston) is conferring with the governor of Georgia (Mike Douglas) about problems in the county of Dunston, which has been taken over by a corrupt racketeer named Bama McCall (Jerry Reed). Knowing that Gator is an old friend of McCall's, Greenfield proposes picking him up and coercing him into working with the agents to gather tax-evasion evidence against McCall. To persuade the governor, Greenfield reminds him that an election is coming up, and having "cleaned up" Dunston County would look good on his political resume. The governor is convinced and gives Greenfield "whatever he needs."
Big ups to Mark Gator, the crazy 80’s sk8r who killed his girl when he was
dusted,
Busted, sometimes the ones you love cant be trusted.
The darker the picture the brighter the negative, lamping in CT amped off
ah sedatives, Westchester county, Southern Connecticut.
What happened to the scene?
Its fucking dead again.
This was my hero’s growing up.
It’s no wonder why I’m f**ked up.
Before punk rock had a price tag.
20 cans of spray-paint in my book bag.
Smash my head against a wall.
Pop another Loratab and them I’m down for the fall.
Down for the fall. Down for the fall.
