Bravo!!! It took me along time to find these locations using google maps, earth and historic aerials. I never found the scenes at the quarries, thanks. You were at the lumber yard but didn't show it, maybe an update sometime. Also, the last part of the chase where the sherrif drives over Gator but ,before he goes into the water ,is known. However, the next scene of the car hitting the water is a different location I could not find. Super job you did!

The lumber mill was gone with a school in it's place so I didn't photograph it. I can't find the location of where Connors drowned along with Big Bear's house. The shaky puddin scene is now a subdivision.

@@gman195674 Thanks for the reply! How did you find these places? I used Google earth, Google maps, various Little Rock publications from that time and, Historical aerials(the most useful). After the first chase as Gator leaves Benton he is filmed on interstate 30 south for a few seconds. He passes over a road which is Arch st./367. In between north and south 30 on Arch st. there was ,at the time, an access road that goes along int 30 north. This is where Gator beeps the horn at Connors to follow him. This road leads back to a couple of bodies of water that were much bigger than they are now, with the 138A exit now cutting off some of the old road. This is where the chase took place up until Connors hits the water. The last frame inside Connors car you can see Gators car below on the hill exactly as seen at the next scene with Connors flying in the air. However that shot looks like a different place than inside Connors car previously. Really is one of my favorite movies,sorry for rambling on.

The Big Bear scene along with several others was filmed at a farm in Woodson, AR. The land owner there can show you all the exact locations.

I appreciate the effort you put into creating this video. The use of the soundtrack makes your work a first class production. I have trouble accepting that the movie is fifty years old.... I dont consider a 71 model Ford an old car. Have a great day sir!!

Thanks so much for doing this! Only scared of two things? "Women, and The POLICE"--Gator McCluskey. White Lightning is a mixture of comedic action and bittersweet revenge, with some philisophical social comment added. Perfect.

You left out the best scene in the whole movie… the two girls hanging onto his car in the town of England!! Otherwise SUPER GREAT job in photographing all the other locations. I love that there is still a billiard hall there in Benton.
