  • This is how I met Wanda Wilson, when I was 14, thanks to Buford Pusser, or at least the legend of him. You might need a little popcorn to endure these scenes from our B-movie adventures wherein I play a car thief and Wanda an informant to the exiled Dixie mafia kingpin. Wanda first appears at 5:17 of this clip in the one scene we shared. Before that are scenes I'm in and after are two more scenes Wanda is in.
    This is the 2nd among 6 credits IMDB lists for Wanda as an actress (most notably in Craig Brewer's first film: "The Poor & Hungry" - named for Wanda's own "Beer Joint of Your Dreams" in Memphis).
    The first acting credit IMDB lists for Wanda Wilson is a 1972 horror film called "Enter the Devil?" which I've been doubtful this is the same Wanda (can anyone confirm?). IMDB mistakenly credits my role as "Avery" from "Final Chapter:Walking Tall" to a prolific character actor named David Leonard (I) who died in 1967 - 10 years before the film was made! The real me in IMDB is David Leonard(V).

      And BTW (by the way) what’s wrong with your cattle roper that you can’t snoop around and ask some questions and find out what’s going on in your city and take a chance on turning it over to a federal agency definitely not your local police department? You could definitely be the one that might actually make a difference, as I said turn it over to the feds and definitely do not let your local police department know what you were out doing and attempting to do, by hanging out in bars and just keeping your ears open and your mouth shut. And the older and more broke down you are the easier it is to get information from people.

    I was born and raised in McNairy County. I even worked for the Sheriff's Department. I grew up in the Stantonville Community off Hwy 64 and Guys Community. I graduated from Adamsville High School in 1992. Bill Morris was my neighbor.

      Creative punishment in those days made youngsters think twice and were able to go into adult hood with a clean slate and be productive. Once we started taking juvenile delinquents to jail instead of taking them home to their parents, we created a future crime wave.

    Bulo was such an intimidating character, he would later be cast in 1987 in an NES boxing video game under the moniker BALD BULL

      In the real chase, just like the movie, Buford knew those boys were drunk, & wouldn't have normally done that; he didn't want them to have a criminal record, at this young age! Good man!

      @memphiscameraman  Před 6 lety +8

      You retraced the car chase route? Wow. Do you live around there? I was only 14 and I'm not sure how much I can remember to tell you. When you see us in the car we are not actually doing the stunts; we are towed by a camera truck with a camera mounted on the hood. I did also ride in the stunt car which was not supposed to happen but my stuntman double was hungover I heard when they asked if I'd like to ride in the stunt car. I probably should've been paid double for that but it was still a blast for me. I said yes without asking my mother who then saw me zooming around and was not so happy about it..
