What it’s about. Hooch is an inexpensive regional exploitation action-comedy (hicksploitation) about a small county in the Appalachians and its many moonshine-brewing inhabitants, who are all struggling to make a living. The older "brewers" are pissed off at the success of handsome young upstart Eddie Joe, who is charmingly stealing their regular customers. Meanwhile, the owner of the country store (also a moonshiner) conspires with a trio of carpetbagging Mafioso who want to take over the moonshine business in that county as an extension of their Northern business ventures.
Who’s in it. Hooch stars Gil Gerard as Eddie Joe, Danny Aiello as Tony, Melody Rogers as Jamie Sue and Erika Fox as Ginnie, among others.
