One of the most fascinating people in Small-town America. This move I was a wee pint when it came out and later saw it, and was enamored ever since. Some of the truth was dramatized and a lot of the truth was not shown to protect the innocent. There's 3 Walking Tall movies and the real Buford Pusser was on set to be a consultant at the right hand of the director and screenwriter. Actually Buford was to Star in Part 3 but was killed by the Dixie Mafia during filming . Now that's what I call true story, not during the actual movie but around the same time. It hasn't aged well but for a 70s B film it took the nation by storm. A Cult favorite that was raw and true, not just based on a true story but the actual events told by the man himself. I've never forgotten this movie though I was a kid, I now have the whole set. Walk Tall and carry a BIG Stick! Fascinating story!
