Thunder and Lightning is a 1977 action comedy film directed by Corey Allen, and starring David Carradine and Kate Jackson.

Production

At one stage the film was reportedly going to star Susan George and Roger Corman met with Jimmy Connors about playing the male lead. Carradine signed in March 1976. Kate Jackson was known for The Rookies and made the film while on hiatus from that series. She had also just made the pilot for Charlie's Angels.

The script was originally set in Georgia but was relocated to the Florida Everglades in order to take advantage of the beauty of that area.

It was Sterling Holloway's final film role.

Charles Willeford worked as location manager.

It was Roger Corman's last of four films produced for 20th Century Fox (the others were Fighting Mad, Capone and Moving Violation).
