Thunderbolt and Lightfoot - Michael Cimino - USA - (1974)

 


Plot from Imdb: With the help of an irreverent young sidekick, a bank robber gets his old gang back together to organize a daring new heist.

The Dukes of Hazards, directed by Michael Cimino...(if you don't believe me, there is even the charming Catherine Bach playing a small part). Car chase & country music, fist fights & a final elaborate heist. It's a nice buddy flick from the seventies  but could have been way better with such an amazing cast: Clint, Jeff Bridges, Georges kennedy, even a young Gary Busey ....A weak Cimino but the cinematography is, as usual, very nicely done. Some weird scenes, at time. The crazy rabbit-killer, raccoon-lover redneck scene is one to remember. Jeff bridges as a travestite can also be considered a reward for the most perverted of us.
