Quotes
[opening narration]
Buford Pusser: The wrong kind of people have had their say for too long and I want to remind them that somewhere in this world there is a little law and order left - to let them know in the only way their kind understands, that they can't bribe or threaten their way and they will damn well pay pay dearly for every crime they commit.

A Real American Hero - An Insult to the Original

This shoddy TV movie badly exploits the success of 'Walking Tall'. Trying to imitate the dramatic original with a badly written script, filled with shallow situations and bland rip-off characters. Brian Dennehy does a good job as Sheriff Bufford Pusser but the trite script lets him and his above average support cast down badly.

The Flashback DVD is taken from a VHS tape with soft focus and some tape drop-outs. One for the easily pleased or to be avoided.
