- A young Brian Dennehy is cast as the stick-wielding, scrupulously honest Tennessee sheriff Bufford Pusser. After chasing down a speeding car, Pusser is disgusted to find that its teenaged occupants (two of them dead, two blinded for life) are stoned out of their minds on bad bootleg hooch. Bypassing due process and other such legal niceties, Pusser goes on a one-man rampage of destruction in order to square accounts with the evil disco owner-cum-moonshiner responsible for the tragedy. Making things difficult is the fact that one of the villains of the piece is also one of Bufford's oldest pals.

RIP - Don Williams ❤️ Thank you for caring enough to make this video possible ‘
“So, that’s where the well-known phrase, Walk tall and carry a big stick” originates from”. 😅😅😅
RIP Brian Dennehy
I I used to wait tables in Santa Fe NM at a restaurant called La Tertulia. One day Brian Dennehy walked in and, this is in 1988 and he WAS a great big guy.I was astonished at his physical size. Being in a movie he doesn't look that big but when you're standing next to this man you really do see how big he is in real life. I waited on and met many famous people working in that restaurant. Chuck Norris, Gary Hart, Stephanie Seymour, and the list goes on.
Bufford was a very large man as well I guess.
Gary hart like the wrestling manager of the The Great Kabuki and Abdullah the butcher
Brian Dennehy was 6'3"
@@AMERICANLEGENDModelBuilder Bufford Pusser was 6'6" tall
Wow tell me the rest if you can remember I need to see if I know anyone
I had no idea this existed..just watching in 2020..Loving B. Dennehy..
I never heard of this movie either til now
I saw this movie a lot back in the day. I like all guys that play him. But the late Brain Dennephy did a good job.
I grew up down the street from Buford pusser brother and his family. Mr. Bufords neice was one of my best friends. I was in 3rd or 4th grade when this happened. Donna pusser Cline is her name. Mr. Buford was a legend. A 6ft 6 in tall power house that carried a oversized bat and wasnt afraid to use it. He was every bit if what this movie portrays and more. I can still remember when Donna didn't come to school for several days. Everyone was talking about she had a death in her family. When she got back to school she told me what happened. That uncle Buford and Her aunt Pauline were shot up in a car while driving in the country and her aunt had died, uncle Buford was injured badly. Anyone that hasn't seen the first movie should go watch it. It tells the story from the get go. Thus movie portrays more less walking tall part 2 after his wife was killed. He got well from the first attack and didnt stop until he got them all. Sadly in the late 70's they got him. He wrecked his Corvette but alot of people feel like the Dixie mafia finally fulfilled that contract they had out on him. So sad because he was a great man and all he wanted to do was clean this mess up. Then in a huge coincident, the same bunch of crooks, "The Dixie Mafia" were involved in the deaths of judge Vincent Sherry and his wife of Biloxi Mississippi. The judges wife was trying to stop gambling from coming to Biloxi and being legalized. Kirksey Nixs, who was serving time in Angola prison in Louisiana, was the one who orchestrated the murder from prison. Judge Sherry's wife was fighting for the same cause and was up against the Sam crooks that Buford Pusser was up against. Sadly, they took her and her husband out.
Don Williams'voice is so soothing.

Don Willis is my sisters favorite singer and mine too , he had a beautiful voice, and I love him and Buford pusser
We were at genn crump shevrollay in Tuscumbia Alabama to see Buford receive his New, RED CORVET
WE GOT OUR PICTURES MADE WITH BUFORD BEFORE HE TOOK OFF TO BECOME A LEGEND!
This movie was a great representation of small southern towns in the 70s. I grew up in a small community outside of Houston and the people were a lot like this.
We're outside of Houston do you come from? Me, l grew up in North Harris County at Klein.
@@carywest9256 I grew up in the Aldine area. It was about 80% poor to middle class white. The demographics shifted rapidly in the late 80s and was 6% white by the early 2000s. In the late 70s to early 80s it felt like a small southern down.
good another great movie with brian dennehy. he was one of my favorite actors
I love these movies they are so good me and my boyfriend watched all of them and enjoyed them very much
He was a good man, my mom knew him personally and we use to go to the carnival with his kids together. RIP
RIP? Brian D isn't dead. He's 80 and most recently is working on an Amazon channel show.
He is very much alive and still one of my fav. actors..
Still going at 81 years old on 20/02/20
Maybe she meant Bufford, not Brian
Miss you keep his legacy alive I'm from east Tennessee he was a good man in he will always walk tall
I've been wanting to see this movie for years....I was 3 when it came out. I still remember though..
Nothing comes close to the original Walking Tall, That remake with the Rock was ok for today's generation, in fact there are some that didn't even know there was an original in 73, I own the entire trilogy, they're awesome movies!
I was just a kid and. I loved it then.and enjoyed it now
Cute puppy in your thumbnail avatar pic
i agree, we found them on dvd and so happy we did , i always love this movie , the original walking tall i mean
I own the original trilogy on dvd
@JayDogTitan - the Rock doing everything he can to remake white peoples movies (fuck Dwayne) the Rock..lmao - a man in tights, play fighting another man in tights - over a belt. i have zero respect for that moosehead.
I saw the original Walking Tall when it first came out. really liked it. this was a pretty good flick until the fist fight. it went quickly down hill from there. that barn dance scene was pure hokum. Brian Dennehy is always cool to watch. and Ken Howard played a good, smarmy, oily villain. i'm still looking for a video bio on Sherrif Pusser. I always put him in the same catogory of cop as Serpico. none of the YT bios do a very good job. I guess i'll just go to Wikipedia thanks for the film.
I was looking for this movie!
Thank You uploading it, Viewlorium.
i loved this movie we need more men like him
we are moving in the opposite direction
They don't make movies like this any more. These are classics. Movies from the 1970's bring back childhood memories sand remember the clothing and hair styles, the way people were, the cars, the times and the shows...very different, in a different, simpler time and age. I was born in '70 and up until '79 at age 9 & 10, I definitely do recall how people were then. People had much more of a strong true love of God, home, family, church, morals, etc then nowadays. I'm now at age 48 and as a grown adult as I look back on my young childhood from that era I'm reminded of my parents and other elders in how they were, many of them now either up in age or passed away. Brian Dehenney was a very good looking man in the 70's and seemingly like a wonderful person to know. Now forty years or so later, in his 70's still the same great guy but older and of course, wiser. They say wisdom comes with age. I'm sure he has like all of us have got more wise with age. Times have greatly changed in over years. I miss those simpler times....
i was born in 52 i remember ww2 was over 8 years before. my dad wore a suit and zenith tv
Brian Denney one of my favorite American Actors.!!! I have enjoyed watching film's with this an American Actor.!!! Brian Denney RIP Brian. 🌹🌹💐💐🎭🎭🎭🗽🗽🗽🎬🎞️📽️
I think the movie is awesome just like all the others
Great lil movie,I never knew it existed,really love BD an SN In their roles,thx for this!!
Buford Pusser was a legend in his own lifetime. A feat accomplished by very few individuals. So sad that his legacy is shrouded in controversy. No human is perfect, perhaps if the movie producers focused less on his heroic attributes and more on the true facts then we could better appreciate this man.
I know tell me about it
Brian Denney he was great American actor.!!! One My favorite American Actors
Brian Dennehy, Brian Denney.!!! Lot's of great films Movie's with him was at all times history of the US movies.
This film i'm seeing watching perhaps for Second time if Not first time. Thanks for that Film. Brian Denney RIP.
Love to see Forrest Tucker as an old F Troop fan
Good movie
We need more cops like this.
they all quit or got defunded
Pet peeve of mine when they don't pay attention to obvious details. Buford Pusser was sheriff from 1964 to 1970. The scene at the beginning in the bar Buford busts up The music they played and the fashions...it was from the Disco craze that didn't come along until the mid and late 70s.
hard to say who was the best Buford but bo looked the most like him
Yes I agree with you ev that Bo Svenson looked much more like the real Buford Pusser,but I thought Joe Don Baker played a phenominal role.Comparing the 2 movies with Joe vs Bo my hat goes off to Joe.Just my opinion but hey that's what makes the world go round.Differant strokes for different folks.
Holy Jesus, this human is just like me. I sure there's others like me out there. The world soon will need us.....
You're right you're not alone there are many of us and we will be ready when it's time to do what needs to be done I can promise you that
Reporting for duty. I'm just waiting for the trumpet to blow.🍻😎
Great movie!
if only America had honest leaders like this be great again.
I never knew Brian Dennehy played in a Buford pusser movie I love Brian Dennehy he is a great actor & one of my favorites so I know this movie with him n it will be another great one. Buford pusser was a great man & a great family man as well he cared about his family as well as his town. So sad he has so many hurtful things happen to him. I believe in the end he was killed by the mob or whoever I believe they rigged the car so it would crash & kill him. He will always be a hero & a great man. Legends never die. R I P Buford you was one of a kind. R.I P Pauline.
I have never seen this version of the movie I have the set of three walking tall trilogy . This one must have been cut out of production.
Electric Cher. 😮😢
Bo Svenson played Buford and looked alot like him
this is kool, with me being from new zealand, over here in the pacific and seeing the walking tall movies in the 1970's, this one is abit better than the rest, hearing about bufford pusser and reading everything about the guy i cant help but think if he kewpt his nose out of everyone elses bussiness,he would probably still be around today, he was the law, but b4 and after, the crooks still won, he died a horrible death, and no matter what they say, it was murder, they got him in the end...amen, xxx
Of course he would Probably still be alive Fred.Unless he became afflicted with cancer or something.But if he had not done what he did we would not have these great movies to converse about would we?
Who’s here in 2020 watching.
I am and it’s 2024 , in fact April 21st
Once in a lifetime someone comes along that really stands taller than most..Buford pusher..
He still hasn’t responded to the class of 2024 KieferOklahoma !
All I wanted was something to eat but they kept pushing.
first blood
I didn' t even know this movie existed....
The portrayel by The Rock" Dewayne Johnson" was by far the worst and most unrealistic version of this mans life. Joe Don Baker was the best in my opinion with Bo Svenson running a close second.
Gary Price I like the Bo Svenson one.... But I watched this one because I like all things Brian Dennehy and Buford Pusser.
I soooo agree!!!
CASH WATKINS NAH, I DUCT TAPED HIS SORRY ASS OLD MAN TO A CHAIR AND FORCED HIM TO WATCH A YOUNG STUD PLOW HIS WIFE, MY BALL SACK SO WAS PRIMED AND READY IT LOOKED LIKE 1 GIANT MASS, LIKE A FUZZY TENNIS BALL
CASH WHY YOU HATING MAN LOL YOU DON'T SUPPORT OTHER DUDES GETTING PUSSY OR WHAT
CASH COMING FROM THE IDIOT WHO WASN'T EVEN BEING SPOKEN TO, SO NOT ONLY ARE YOU A HATER, YOU'RE A SENSITIVE BITCH, THE ONE THAT BITCHES IS THE ONE WHO IS BEING AFFECTED BY IT, TAMPON UP BITCH LOL DAMN YOU GOT WRECKED LOL
Ole Selmer TN is only a couple counties away from me.
I used to have a crush on Brian Dennehy. Lol
I'd be more interested in this if Bo Svenson played Buford. I like him better than Brian Dennehy and Joe Don Baker.
Joe Don Baker played him the best, even his daughter said so.
Maybe so, but I liked Bo Svenson better.
I've only seen clips of the Joe Don Baker movie, but it looks awful. I thought Bo Svenson looked more like Buford, both in facial features and in stature. (Svenson is 6'5, just an inch shorter than Pusser. JD Baker is only 6'2-1/2 and has a fat face.) Svenson had a soft spoken delivery, which seemed more like Pusser was in interviews.
Just my opinion but Iv'e watched the entire movie from beginning to end and for me it was much better.The original movie in 1973 did star Joe Don Baker and he was brilliant at the part.True, Bo Svenson looks more like the real Buford Pusser,but Joe I thought embodied Pussers spirit.The remake wth Svenson just wasn't the same as the original when it first came out.I was disappointed with it and Always wished Joe Don Baker had played in all 3 movies.I was only 10 years old when the original movie came out. I guess that is why maybe I am partial to Joe Don Baker.
Christopher G, watch the entire movie w Joe Don Baker and you'll probably find that even though no he didn't look as much like the real Buford he completely embodied Bufords spirit and personality. I thought he played a much better role than Bo Svenson, Brian Dennehy and especially The Rock.Thats just my opinion but give yourself that knowledge and opportunity to watch the entire movie. Joe Don played a GREAT role.
Boy, if I were to let myself, I could preach an entire sermon on the way that old self-righteous biddy, Amelia treated Cary. Guess I won’t though since it all seemed to turn out okay in the end. I enjoyed the movie. I had never seen any of the American Hero movies and this one was so funny. 😂😂😂😂😂
At 6'6, Ken Howard is actually more Buford's size than Brian Dennehy.
Buford Pusser was 6'6" and Brian Dennehy was only 6'3"
The guy playing Danny Boy would have been a good pick to play Bufford. he looked a lot like the Real Bufford.
Coach Reeves-- Ken Howard RIP
I love this movie but the time frame is all wrong...they're playing out events that happened in the 1960s but they're doing it with 1970s and 1980s stuff...
Can anyone tell me what town this movie was filmed in....
This was filmed in either Henderson or Lexington, Tennessee. It wasn't filmed in Selmer, where McNairy County is located.
Brian Dennehy is the most handsome sexy man I've ever seen!
I met Buford in 1973
Broadcast on CBS on December 9, 1978.
Does anybody know that song name thanks
Any idea on who is singing the opening song walking Tall?
Don Williams
Thank you
Don Williams I believe..to bad they didn't get Johnny Cash the man in black to do the song for the intro...Another true AMERICAN BADASS!!!
As much as I have always liked Dennehym he sucks as Pusser. Bring me Bo! Anyone else notice Forest Tucker as Pusser Senior? He was in the originals as the same character with Bo.
Kevin Doran he only played in part 3
This is nothing like how things were, and he took $ from bootleggers my grandfather paid him.
crazy ludie mc vay as a deputy i thought he got killed at the lucky spot and fished out of the river i
Good eye. I caught that too.
another good movie about a true hero and man's man.we need another like Sheriff Buford Phaser,Sheriff Joe Arpio and Sheriff David Clark to clean up the lawless trash in places like Chicago and other big cities...also the low lives in our government and certain agencies need to be held accountable and the big three of law can more than handle the task!!!!
My dad used to bring Buffords mother down to Chattanooga and soddy daisy tn for police conferences after Buffords death he left me some old photos of Bufford and family and a few other things that helen had given him
In the original version of this movie that I saw, different actors, Buford is beaten to death.
original title Walking Tall
Is that Jamie Dimon as the disco owner???
Pusser died in 75...and this police car, is a 80s model
But this movie came out in 1978...
Buford Pusser died on August 21, 1974.
denehy didnt have the dialect down
He wasn't trying. He kept his California dialect.
@@lori6242 Lori - he was from the east coast.
Oh Goody, another bastardized version of Walking Tall.
Grade B movie.
This might have made a good series...the one that aired with Bo Svenson wasnt
The series with Bo Svenson was terrible. The theme song was good.
Wasn’t he the “Walking Tall” guy?
Yeah my dad used to bring his mother to Chattanooga and soddy daisy TN for police conferences she gave him so old family photos and some other things that he left to me bufford was a great guy from what my dad told me I was only a couple years old when bufford died
And I like all things The Rock...
Again this is the first original Walking Tall not the Rock
youtube makes the colour to bright
Criminals will do their best to accuse, those who serve to protect us..as to alter opinions or feelings about Law & Order. Buford Pusser story is unique in that both the criminal element and eye witnesses both tell the same story, but Pusser facts are always tipped biased against Buford by the criminal. i have never known of Buford Pusser except for in movies or books, and i will say this. The likes of Wyatt Earp and Buford Pusser types WOULD NOT have exist if it weren't for the 'criminals' they dealt with. THAT ALONE is significant in fact. like God himself created them men to rid the world of them criminals. southerners being the most evil of criminals beings, they attend church and other social gatherings right alongside honest decent law abiding people like predators that they are. Buford Pusser was necessary and all criminals alike knew it and know it too this day. Buford and Wyatt never backed down from NO MAN and their LIVES reflected that.
This is so unrealistic. At least get the time period right. This never happened
That's what bothered me about this movie, the time period being incorrect. This movie was shot in the summer of 1977 and released on television in December 1978. This movie had the 1970s written all over it.
this man was a 1 man army, judge, jury and exicutioner, and he not only put his own life at risk many times, but his own familys too, after all they ambushed him and killed his wife, they wonder why he done this alone, when he was a cop, and there are thousands of cops, why alone, was he some sort of glory hunter, he was shot about 16 times, knifed, beaten up, you name it, ole bufoord had it done to him, no matter what anyone says, crooks rule this world, they may kill, imprison,alot, but theres always some totake over, this guy bufford pusser was no doubt a hero, but that seems to be what he wanted to be, a dead hero in the end,
+Fred Ewart Look into Texas Ranger Frank Hamer. He was shot and left for dead many times. He killed over 50 men and at least one woman (Bonnie Parker). He also died at a fairly old age.
Fred Ewart with all due respect I don't believe that.I believe Buford wanted to accomplish just what he said he wanted to accomplish.He wanted to clean up his home town and give the citizens of his own community some peace of mind.He was a Very Courageous man and just wanted to enforce the law.He didn't set out to become a hero or a martyr or put his family in danger.It was just the end result to some very tragic circumstances.Much of you said I agree with but to place him in a box of Wanting to become a hero for the sake of glory NO.
A Vietnam faker playing a hero? Dennehy was not fit to carry Pusser’s athletic supporter.
What a pointless comment...
I gave three years of my life and a chunk of my left arm and stolen valor is a sore point with me. Did you google Dennehy saying he was a Vietnam veteran? If the truth hurts tough crap.
@@billp5424 You're too good a man to be bothered by the false claims of some dead guy. You sacrificed for your country and God bless you. Take pride in your service, take pride in the gratitude of your fellow countrymen and let sleeping dogs.
Ah, good old hollywood.
