Tues June 30: Kate Jackson Film on Fox Movies

[David]

Fox Movie Channel airs Thunder & Lightning (1977), in which Kate Jackson co-stars with the recently departed David Carradine.

This isn't exactly God's gift (or anyone else's gift for that matter) to entertainment.    (She basically did it simply for the experience of making a film.) As I remember, the best scenes were all in the trailer - so if you've seen the trailer, you've seen the best the film has to offer.    But diehard Jackson fans will probably enjoy it.

Well, I wouldn't necessarily say it's a BAD MOVIE - it's just not quite a good one. Interestingly, though, it's release got a good deal of pre-publicity, including a full color insert in the January 6, 1977 issue of Daily Variety to announce its upcoming release later that year. If only the movie lived up to its hype. But then, it's hardly alone in that as so few do. At best it's a pleasant diversion when you've got nothing better to do - and many reviews did like Carradine and Jackson...
