"Walking Tall" Staring The Rock, was a joke.
I totally agree, I didn’t enjoy that movie at all, and I don’t ever plan to watch it ever again,
R.I.P Buford Pusser. We in Tennessee need more just like him. Hes forever "WALKING TALL". God bless him
I totally agree that Buford Pusser was a true law man !
Nothing like ALOT of the ones today.
@@dinanorton8613 exactly, today they don't come close.
If the story is true, he surely was a heck of a law man. But I’ve heard all sorts of things about the man. That he was corrupt himself and he killed his wife and shot himself to get away with it. I don’t want to believe that, but then again, I wasn’t there.
Yes.
I met Buford Pusser at the drive in my home town of Cordele, Georgia when they had came out with his first movie Walking Tall staring Joe Don Baker. He said he was on his way to fly out to Texas to court to testify against some of the men that were involved in the ambush of his wife. I do believe he was a good man.
wow
I wonder if he died because he was driving while drunk?
I met him in Dallas Texas... still have his autograph. I met his mother Helen at his home in Adamsville, Tennessee in 1982.... I still have the 2 pens she gave me and I signed her book she asked visitors to sign.
She told me several stories about Buford and his daddy.....she was a wealth of information.....
She showed me that Bufford had been made Deputies all over America and in some places it was honorary but most were authinic and a full commission.......
I miss her and Buford....
Chief
We need a man like that to fight crime he is greatly missed
Buford's daughter died not long ago. That bedroom with all the pink was hers. I love this vlog!
Thanks for taking the time to make and share the video! enjoyed it sitting about 900 Miles away :)
I would have liked to meet this man myself!
And get inspiration, by being myself, and not show my weakness to anyone.
A man, who takes no crap from anybody, and is a family man, and friendly man.
Buford Pusser, would have been an inspiration to all in every county,, highway, and police department.
Seems like a very good man, who gave no crap to criminals, and their activities.
Need more Sherriff's like Buford in this world!
I agree. God Bless.
He was an equal enforcement beating, shooting and arrest. No matter of race or religion.
@eddie Dickens he's passed away and can't defend himself, and never has been proven so he is a legend!
We do and they are still corrupt as he was .
@@jbrown1971 maybe so.
I would like to know what his corruption was.
I have heard that he had his own private
Whiskey still.
And in the state of Tennessee you could have a certain amount of homemade shine for personal consumption.
Is there anything else?????
The Jimmy Buffett and Buford Pusser story is legendary.. plus I think he may've had golf cleats on when he was on Buford T.'s car
Love the original movies. Buford Pusser had a very interesting life. He definitely should be respected and recognized for all what he did including putting his life on the line many times. A True Icon...
A tragic life
Family curse
I remember hearing of Sheriff Pusser as a kid, he was a no BS kind of old school Sheriff, what we need today.
Thank goodness you didn’t butcher his last name like you did in you 2015 vlog, lol. Thanks for going back. This man is a hero of mine.
Interesting to note, how many times Pusser had been stabbed/shot/beaten to near death/the guy was a true American bad-ass. And "Walking Tall" was a landmark in the history of the drive-in theatre.
During that time for Buford Vietnam might have been safer.
@@MR-vf1fw went to his home 3 times
One of my mom's favorite movies! She also liked Billy jack
Yeah that was a good movie that movie and Billy Jack your mom yeah
Me too. I never hear anyone say anything about Billy Jack anymore. He was the stuff in the 70's though. lol...!! 😉 I also remember watching the movie , " White Lightning " too .Bert Reynolds played in it . I was just a kid , but I remember all of these old movies .
Sxe
Billy Jack is another one of my favorite movies from the 70's.
Those were 2 good movies. Tom Laughlin who played BillyJack has passed away at age 81 he was really a good man fighting for a good cause in real life as well.
He was a great big nice guy. Took two chairs to hold him up at the table. My grandmother use to wait on him when he stopped at Holiday Inn to eat when he went to Nashville TN
Yes he did im from Nashville Tn.
Sheriff Buford. Pussser was a real man. A man with morals and integrity I've seen unmatched. since he was murdered. To me Joe Don Baker was born to play this iconic man. When they were getting ready to make part 2, I saw the real Buford in the paper in the next county from me. He was getting off a plane. I was thinking( wow this guy's a knockout)There will never be another like him. He will always be remembered as the Sheriff that carried the big stick and had big heart to match. He ran from no one and he couldn't be bought out. Thank you Sheriff Buford Pussser for being the best Sheriff my part of the world will ever see again. Thank you for posting. I've watched all 3 movies ( over and over again.) I have nothing but total respect for this one man who walked tall and carried the big stick. God knows we need more Sheriff's like him. Been resting easy for quite awhile now Sheriff, you were the best they'll ever be. To the world you were a real hero.
You brought out some things about him I never knew. I also didn't know his home had been converted into a museum. Thank you for sharing it!
His daughter used to run the museum and she ended up passing away. Glad someone took over.
This is where my sisters family lives. I had to take the 'Buford Pusser' tour. She lived in Selmer. Its really a nice town to love in. My niece works at the Sonic in Adamsville
I was given one of Bufords sticks about 40 years ago. I went to school in Savannah back in the days Buford was still kicking ass. I became friends with a guy Buford used as a special deputy some times. I met Buford a couple of times. He was a pretty cool guy. He sure didn't deserve what happened to him. My friend ( R C ) gave me the stick a few years after Buford was...killed...It means a lot to me. I have lived in Tennessee my entire life. RIP BUFORD AND RC . 😥
Walking tall was the first movie I remember seeing and saw it at a drive in theater
I remember as a kid, probably 11 or maybe 12 yrs old, listening to the radio and hearing the promos for Walking Tall. My parents took me and my sister to see it. As a fellow Tennesseean, from Memphis and the fact that it was a true story. Bufords story had such an effect on my life that I Became a Sheriff's Deputy then a Police Chief.
I know the stories that are circulating about him and how he did his job. And I for one, from my experience as a police officer you can't always be a nice guy. It will get you or someone else killed.
Sheriff Pusser to me epitomizes a Sheep Dog......He Walked Tall .
Interesting, I didn't realize they had his home preserved and as a museum you can visit.
Like they said in video, there was a museum in pigeon forge I got to meet his daughter there in the early 80s .
I grew up in Henderson county, TN, which borders McNairy county. My grandmother owned a huge trailer park in Gibson county that had problems with moonshiners. She and Mr. Pusser knew each other from going to the weekly VFW dances. (They dated for a while in the 70s.) It was rumored that she was one of his informants. I actually met the man at my grandmother’s house when I was a small child. My mom said it was about six months or so before he died.
Thank you Jacob for sharing this video. This has been on my bucket list of places to visit since I learned about the original "walking tall" movies. There was an even a short lived TV series from what I've read. I'll take this as a preview until I can see it with my own eyes. Thank you again and safe journeys.
Visited the Museum in 2016 along with his Grave site and the location of his fatal accident. He had an interesting life. Loved the movies when they came out. Was a big fan from Wisconsin. Great little Town Adamsville. Spent a good part of a day at Shiloh nearby also. Soooooo interesting. Surprisingly a few people who claimed they knew him, that I met, did not have nice things to say about him, which surprised me. Being in Law Enforcement myself it was interesting reading Dwana's book and others about Buffords short career as a Cop. One thing that blew my mind is that he was the only full time Deputy in that whole County when he was elected Sheriff the first time. From what I've read the only person alive from that family, now that Dwana's gone, is her one stepbrother. Kind of a sad story.
That was a "GREAT" video Carpetbagger. Stay blessed. ❤
Just seen your sub count. I know how hard it is to grow, and u are killing it. Just want to congratulate you. Keep up all the great work
I absolutely love your videos. You make me feel like I’m there. And it’s a very relaxed and informative video as always. Love it
Walking Tall, the original, was one of my Dad's favorite movies. My Dad also liked Charles Bronson's Death Wish movies. Didn't know there was a home/museum for Buford Pusser up and running. Wow really nice to see.
You are so right in connecting these truly iconic movies. great great point.
@@prorespluscom thanks John for the reply. Tom-WV
New subscriber here. I really enjoy your videos. This one was no exception and is a great video. Really enjoyed the walk-through of the museum. Thank you so much, you’ve inspired me and one of these days I’m going to make it up that way and check out the area for myself.
Keep up the good work, Sir.
Nice video.. love the “He would just beat people up and tell them not to do it again”, we need that today more than ever
Remembering the Walking Tall movie . Interesting trip through the museum. Always enjoy the carpetbagger. 🤗👍
Thank you for sharing this. He was a true American legend.
Wow. This is just so amazing. Thank you for another fabulous video.
Thanks Jacob!!! Loved the original movie, watched it many times!!! Have a fantastic day!!
FYI there were actually 3 installments of the original Walking Tall Movie. Joe Don Baker played Buford in the first movie, Bo Svenson Played Buford in 2&3. Buford was going to play himself in the 3rd movie but died in the car crash before filming. The last movie is titled "Walking Tall 3 The Final Chapter" which includes Buford's death. Also the Big stick was actually a fence post Buford grabbed while raiding a moonshine steel. He was unarmed as he didn't like to carry a gun. That's how the big stick started, folks all around started giving him big sticks.
That was very cool. I had no idea there was a museum for him.
Definitely one of my favorite movies. I cry every time when during the scene when his wife died.
No doubt in my mind the mob had him killed.
Pusser Rocks.
good job Jacob. always love these types of videos you do. of course everyone you do.. stay the course my man. love ya! safe travels homie..
We need more good sheriffs like that , definitely walk tall if you haven’t been to the museum it’s it’s fine it’s an education it’s informative
I have a little addition to your Buffett story. Jimmy and his friend managed to locate and get back to their misplaced car with Buford Pusser in pursuit. While they were trying to get the car started, Pusser was beating both of them up through open passenger side window which led to Jimmy to yell out ... "I don’t wanna die in a Gremlin”. Oh and Jimmy was wearing golf shoes when he climbed on top of Buford Pusser's car. The encounter is mentioned in a couple of his songs.
I was young back then but I remember him coming close to my home town. The remake with the Rock was crap. Buford was and is a Hero!!
My heart aches watching this. Tastefully and respectfully presented...
i met him a few months before he died in 1974.
Was he worn out or was he Standing Tall
@@sitdowndogbreath Bufford wasn't in the movie. I met him in Chattanooga TN on a campaign stop for Ray Blanton In late June of 74. Bufford died in a car crash in August of 74. The person who played Bufford was Jo Don Baker in the first two movies
@@richardzinc9108 no I meant did he look like he was burned out in in life
@@sitdowndogbreath I suspect that he was burned in that wreck, THey don't release those kind of photos to the newspapers. McNairy county is a good 6 hrs west of where I am.
@@richardzinc9108 no I did not mean burned up I meant when he was alive did he look like he was worn out burned out in life
Good movie, thanks for the awsome tour jacob.
Jimmy references this incident in two songs. Most notably (the second time) in a song called "Semi True Stories" on the album, Beach House on the Moon (1999). Sorry, big Buffett fan so I had to post this:
Well, the picture is fuzzy,
And the details are sordid.
It was on the same day
God's Own Drunk was recorded.
A walkin' tall sheriff
And a big Cadillac
And me and my golf shoes
On the hood makin' tracks.
This daring young singer
Was under attack.
And then there was the original mention from "Presents I Could Send You" on the album, A1A (1974):
There sits a fifth of tequila
God I swore I'd never drink it again
But my last little bout
I had my hair pulled out by a man
Who wasn't really my friend
And I know I'll never see him again
Great video, Jacob!
HNX Media thanks for sharing this, saved me some googling.
thanks for this tour. a hug from Brazil
As a kid Walking Tall was one of my favorite movies, taught me to stand up and fight for what is right. I thought Jon Don Baker, who played Bufford in the movie, was so handsome and followed his film career.
Good morning Jacob
Walk softly and Carry a big stick.
Awesome, thank you! I learn something new everyday
Interesting. Kinda reminds me of Polk County FL's Grady Judd. Both are very hard on crime, people criminals don't want to mess with.
Judd is nuts (in a good way), I live one county over.
Sheriff Judd is the MAN. 'We ran out of bullets'
@@dennismassengill5481 best quote from a sheriff ever 😂
Adventures by George Grady don’t play none at all. Daytona boy myself, keep myself away from Polk County now, lol
Very interesting man. Glad they were able to preserve his home and history. Awesome video. Keep Safe ❤Keep Well ❤
Oh my gosh my whole teenage years my Dad was obsessed with going to see the Buford Pusser Museum. I lived in fear we would actually go, and then I would die of embarrassment. We never actually went. Now I’ll have to show him this video. 😏
One of the Best, a True Law Enforcement Officer. Kept too his Oath of Office, to Protect and Serve. He will forever be missed but forever remembered for his Courage and Bravery, may he forever Rest in Peace.
He never honored his oath he beat ppl broke all the laws he swore oath too enforce
The very definition of a badass!
Need some more men like him about now days! Great vid mate. Got the post card made my year Jake. Alan O England
Very Cool Jacob! this Is One Site I Need To Visit Thanks For Sharing The Video.
I really enjoy your channel. You cover something's I would never learned about else where probably. 😎
This is one of the most interesting videos you've ever done.
Walking Tall (original) was a really good movie! I remember seeing his death car and other stuff of his in PF in the police museum, I think that was it.
Love the movie. Joe Don Baker was great and The Rock was ok. Thank you for this great vlog.
Love this video , really enjoyed it .. ❤️
Nice video! I enjoyed it. Thanks
I wish I knew you was here! I’ve lived in adamsville all my life. And even worked for Dawna Pusser at her restaurant. She committed suicide a few months back. Was really sad. But one of her daughters and 2 grandsons still live here. Would have loved to have met you!
lynnparker4723s I did not realize she committed suicide. I grew up in one county over. I just assumed she had cancer.
Yea she was arrested for DWI and might have been facing jail time. Her oldest was arrested for theft and he husband was cheating on her. So she shot herself.
@@lynnparker4723s She lost her mom, found her dad as she was dying. What a sad ending to a sad life. Hopefully she’s with her parents now😢
Sometimes you only learn by getting a beat down. We miss you Buford.
@@hometownseven Your what?🤔😒♠️
We need more lawmen like Buford for sure. He is greatly missed by a lot of people. I love the walking tall movies. He was a legend for sure.
Does any one know if his children are living.
@@carolyngardner4999 While the movie portrays Bufford having a son and a daughter in real life I believe he only had a Daughter named Dwanna Pusser and I think she is deceased now. For all of those who are interested on Yahoo there is a forum about Buffords life etc. It gets down to the real facts from fiction. The movie had alot of fiction. I do research on true stories. On the day of the ambush it was told that his wife was going to leave him that day because she found out that he was cheating on her with a younger girl. There are videos of the re-enactment of the ambush on the forum I believe. Which shows that it would have been impossible to have occurred as Bufford said it did. It's ironic when Bufford says the car chasing them got beside him and 3-4 guys in the car with fully automatic rifles shooting at them. When you look at the real police car Bufford and his wife were in that day there isnt one bullet hole on his side of the door. And the other car was maybe only 8 feet away on a very narrow road. There is a hole in the back window of Pussers car which hit Pauline Pusser in the back of her head killing her. Because of so many inconsistencies in Bufford story they were thinking Pusser had something to do with the ambush and they had to shoot him too to make it seem like a real ambush. But Pauline new about some money laundering Bufford was doing and had threatened to turn him in so it is believed that Pusser had those guys do the ambush. There are many videos on the forum. I try to get to the true facts. So he might have been a good sheriff to some people sometime but it wasn't always peaches and cream. He was corrupt as you will see in the stories that were told by people who knew Bufford very well and the stories behind it.
@@carolyngardner4999 his daughter passed away. Her name was Dwana. I think I spelled it right.
I watch the original Walking Tall whenever I come across it. Nice surprise to see so many videos about Buford on here. Thanks for upload 👍
Nice, Im related to him and I am very excited that you made this.
I loved the movie "Walking Tall" based on Sheriff's Bufford Pusser life. Too bad, we don't have anyone like him today.
Great video! Thanks!
WHAT A MAN!!!!! R.I.P. Mr. Buford Pusser.
Great stuff. As an Englishman, I can only dream of knowing anyone with a name like Buford Pusser. Sounds like an American character thought up by P.G. Wodehouse.
Isn’t it a great name? The woods here are full of them! One of my favorites is Harry Corn, who was a subscriber at my dad’s cable tv system in Waynesboro, TN back in the 70s.
Oh my goodness !! I use to go to school with a boy named , " Harry Bush " and my stupid sister use to tease that poor boy all of the time . She and I were so different growing up and we still are . I never would have said nothing to hurt that poor boys feelings .
ITS NOT ITS REAL AND IM GOING TO BUY ONE OF THEM STICKS.
Very cool going to have to check that out
Beat people up and tell them not to do it again.. The only thing that has changed is they don't tell you not to do it again...Lol
Awesome thankyou for the great post loved it
Very interesting video! Thanks. 👍👏
I love the video thanks for showing
Funny!! MY parents live on that same street at the beginning
Holy moly, I dont think I EVER expected anyone I watch to be around Savannah, TN lol
Greetings from Hickory NC, awesome video thank you!
@Ken Wilson hello neighbor!
I was confused for a minute. I saw the car at a museum in Pigeon Forge when I was a kid in the 80's. Glad you asked her about it.
Interesting story! Seeing his house was cool!
Damn Bagger 1rst rock a-fire now Buford...2 home runs!!
I visited there as a kid! Thanks for sharing!
#WalkingTall movies from the 70s were the best. Based on the real life events of #BufordPusser May he RIP Thank you #CarpetBagger
My father in law was a TN state trooper and also good friends with Mr. Pusser. He says he a great man. And even better law man.
Wow that was really cool and very interesting thank you Jacob
Nice dude. Thank you.
Been there and saw it all... very much recommended to go see..
Nice job
One of the coolest places u visited.
I have to make a trip here. How awesome!
Thank you for the video 👍👍
Buford is an iconic American hero...takes out the garbage 😎
The version with the Rock sucks. The original one is the best!
Oh yeah I can't stand the remake the original is the best
@?? THE ROCK AINT SHIT! TAKE THE DRUGS AWAY AND YOU HAVE A 130LB SACK OF SHEET!
@@renee4690 RIGHT ON!
@newagetojo HE'S A PUNK THAT WAS MADE BY THE DEEP STATE.
@?? I CALL THE ROCK LITTLE DUKEY CAUSE EVERYTIME I TAKE ONE I THINK OF HIM. HE'S A 135 LB WIND BAG THAT USED TO GET PICKED ON IN SCHOOL. REMEMBER WHEN HE STOPS THE DRUGS HE WILL BE THAT SKINNY WEAKLING THAT GOD MADE FROM THE START. THE ROCK CALLS ME BIG DADDY!
Like the new intro!
Great vid thanks,
Sad story poor man.
