Gator is a 1976 American action comedy film and a sequel to White Lightning starring and directed by Burt Reynolds in his directorial debut.

Production

Burt Reynolds says they sent him the script for the film and he refused to do it saying "it's a terrible script. Then, they asked me if I wanted to direct? And I said 'It's a wonderful script'." "I waited 20 years to do it and I enjoyed it more than anything I've ever done in this business," Reynolds said after filming. "And I happen to think it's what I do best."

Reynolds said he asked advice from Peter Bogdanovich, Robert Aldrich and Mel Brooks about how to direct. He says Bogdanovich told him "only cut on a move", Aldrich said to "listen to everyone then make up your own mind" and Brooks said to fire someone on the first day. "I think I'm an actor's director," said Reynolds. "I love actors. And I don't mean that to sound like a stupid thing coming from an actor.

The film was shot in Savannah, Georgia and Banks Lakes NWR in Lakeland, Georgia.
