Justice sauvage 2 - la revanche

This sequel to the 1973 picture of the same name but doesn't match up to the original. Bo Svenson stars this time as the big stick wielding southern Sheriff. The film takes up where the 73 film leaves off. Pusser is already well known around his parts and continues his war against the state line mob. Had this one been made with Joe Don Baker in the lead role it might have been better. Had Bo Svenson been in the original, likewise.

At times it drifts to the point that it resembles the adventures of a TV hero and not the exploits of a real person.

I wasn't sure if i could watch this without Dad. I made it thru surprisingly without it bothering me too much. This is the 1 i remember most watching with Dad. This was the first time i watched it since his death. Always loved Bo, fine figure of a man. Dad & me always liked/loved Jaeckel primarily because of him being in Grizzly which is a 11 star film. Luke Askew is funny on here. Always loved him. When Pusser tears Jaeckel's car apart i remember Dad laughing, loving every minute of it. Good memories. Its not the same without him but i do love these movies. Wish i had watched them more when he was alive. Gonna be a sad day when Bo dies too.

Following the ambush on his life and the assassination of his wife, Pauline Pusser, Buford(Bo Svenson) continue his pursuit of justice. While he is continuing his pursuit, he runs into another bump in the road, his African-American deputy is killed on duty following the people who want to kill Pusser. Obra is always loyal to him, and he has been a good friend to Buford.

Buford does carry the Big Stick. And the law always get the criminals. The man will never be forgotten.

Big changes in the film, but the fun is always there. It can be used for history lessons. Respect them always.

3 out of 5 stars.

This was the first "Walking Tall" movie I saw, I think in a $2 movie theater along Hollywood Blvd. , so I didn't have any reference to the first installment done by Joe Don Baker. I remember being shocked at the corrupted system of McNairy County and the brutality of the "redneck gangs". I was also amazed at the fact that one man decided he's not going to let it slide, and went out to do something about it. Courageous ? I thought so - to a point where it sent shivers up my spine.

I think this movie is a great story about American courage to stand up and do something about a system that's only serving its own interest. I was pretty blown away about it, and think this is still one of the best movie of the hero/anti-hero genre, which one might laugh but includes recent movies like the "The Punisher", but even more so because it's a true story. The recent remake starring the "Rock" just doesn't do any justice to the real fire in the story of Buford Pusser.

A "classic" that I'm sure will resurface again in the future.

This picture came out in 1975 and it was the second in the three part series of the life of Sheriff Buford Pusser. Bo Svenson takes over the role of Sheriff Buford Pusser, and Luke Askew plays the role of Mobster Pinky Dobson. The last that we saw Sheriff Pusser he was laying in a hospital bed after him and his wife who was killed in ambushed Sunday morning drive. After Pusser recovers he goes after the men that killed his wife. Is Pusser able to complete the revenge that he's after or does the mob try to take him out before he successes. The only thing that bother me about this picture that this was an actual true story. How could you leave in a town with this kind of crime and yet don't do anything about it. Since there was real no name actress in this picture I can't give it 10 weasel stars but I can give 8
