Plot summary

It's the final chapter in this chilling, real-life story of Sheriff Buford Pusser, a good-hearted lawman set on keeping his town safe. Still distraught over his wife's death, he blows up every moonshine still in McNairy county and burns the brothels and whiskey joints to the ground. Having gone too far, he's voted out of office, but that doesn't stop the mob from seeking their revenge. Buford soon discovers how small his town is when he runs out of highway with the mob on his trail.

Back to where it started

Buford Pusser is a legend in Tennessee. A wrestler, a lawman, a part of American history. He's beloved by people and family. He is split with critics on how he handled crime.Now I was born up North, I was fascinated with Pusser. I know that he died a hero. He was brutal against crime. He did keep the town safe.The first movie was worth watching. The second one was great. This movie is abstract. I have respect for him and his family. The Hollywood made movie of his life opens his wounds. And his daughter Dwana, was a very loving person.I want to keep it close to me. I will be my own critic.2.5 out of 5 stars.

That'll do, Buford... That'll do.

A movie trilogy between 1973 and 1977, a TV-series in 1981, and another made-for-TV movie in 1978... I don't mean any disrespect towards Mr. Buford Pusser, but maybe there are slightly too many tales revolving around the Real American Hero from McNairy County, Tennessee? The first "Walking Tall" movie was great, but perhaps they shouldn't even have started with the second movie, considering Pusser passed away a mere days after he sealed a deal for starring as himself.

Chronologically, the first "Walking Tall" deals with Pusser's time as Sheriff between 1964 and the tragic death of his wife in 1967. Part two picks up immediately after that, and this final chapter supposedly starts exactly one year after the fatal accident, and abruptly ends with Pusser's own suspicious death in a car accident in 1974.

Part III isn't boring but it's not exactly very exciting, neither. You know there's something wrong when one of the most intense and action-packed moments of the entire two-hour film is the Sheriff chasing three rebellious teenagers because they stole his car. Besides that, Buford Pusser bulldozes an illegal gambling/prostitution house just outside of his jurisdiction, and he unexpectedly loses the re-election for Sheriff. The last half hour is very interesting, though, because it closes the circle and covers how the first film came into existence. It's somewhat paradoxical, and I like that.
