unlabelledView post →RIP Joe Don Baker. A great actor in so many great movies. Walking Tall. Charley Varrick. Junior Bonner. Cape Fear. The Outfit. He's even great in Mitchell if you watch it without the robots talking in your ear. Should be a Clint-level American icon. www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie...

unlabelledView post →So you remember that copaganda movie 'Walking Tall' (there was a remake of it with The Rock) where a sheriff cleans up a super corrupt town, despite being attacked multiple times and then he gets ambushed and his wife is killed and he's badly injured at which point the town rises up So....
unlabelledView post →THIS is how I find out that Joe Don Baker's Walking Tall is no longer the all-time box office champ?! #MST3K
unlabelledView post →Daaaaamn. We’ve had a lot of fun with Joe Don over the years, on eps like Congo, The Pack, and Joysticks, but he was also great in GoldenEye, Cape Fear, The Living Daylights, Charley Varrick, Fletch, Walking Tall… it goes on. What a life! www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie...
unlabelledView post →In 1967, Tennessee sheriff Buford Pusser claimed his wife, Pauline, was killed in an ambush — sparking his years-long crusade for revenge and inspiring the film "Walking Tall." But new evidence shows he killed his wife, then staged the crime to spend years posing as a vengeful hero.
unlabelledView post →My late pop was in law enforcement. We lived in Tennessee from 1969 to 1976. He told me after 'Walking Tall' came out that the movie was mostly fiction. I wonder what pop knew or heard about Buford Pusser.

unlabelledView post →Upgrade is great, because it understands that the whole subgenre of "dude returns to a life of violence to avenge those who ruined his idyllic life" (e.g. Death Wish, Walking Tall, John Wick) is basically a slasher movie where the slasher is the protagonist

unlabelledView post →1. Yes. 2. Spaghetti I told SNEH this movie sounded like the one the Rock did where he had a piece of wood (thinking of Walking Tall) SNEH: The Rock played Jesus? #HATM
unlabelledView post →MELANIA being a big hit in Florida makes me want a return to regional cinema in the States, when a movie like WALKING TALL gets a national release because of how popular it was in Tennessee
unlabelledView post →RIP Joe Don Baker. Everyone makes fun of the guy because of Mitchell and MST3K but Walking Tall is a cool 70s movie And Mitchell is one of the best MST3K's...

unlabelledView post →the TBI is re-opening the case of Pauline Pusser’s 1967 death, which was likely committed by her husband Buford Pusser (the subject of the movie Walking Tall -I’m orig from that area). I cannot think of one person I can text who will find that interesting, so I’m sharing it with y’all.

unlabelledView post →🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️ I really want to encourage folks who have been stuck on this lane of The Rock as an egotistical, bad actor, to actually go back and look at his filmography. Revisit the Walking Tall remake, you'll find a very solid mid budget film tht would've done numbers on TNT back in the day .
unlabelledView post →I wrote about the trailer a bit ago! “Judging from all this, Rebel Ridge is a movie in the fine tradition of First Blood, Walking Tall, and Road House, where a determined man kicks a whole town's ass.” reason.com/2024/08/08/r...
unlabelledView post →R.I.P. Joe Don Baker. A very underrated actor who appeared in such films as Walking Tall and Charley Varrick. Mitchell is one of the best #MST3K episodes but the un-riffed film is a fun watch on a lazy Saturday afternoon.

unlabelledView post →I just read an article that purports to say that the movie Walking Tall (1973) was not based on actual accounts of Buford Pusser. abcnews.go.com/US/famed-she.... I’m shook.
unlabelledView post →He was a one-man vigilante force. Sheriff Buford Pusser’s story – Walking Tall – premiered today in 1973. Director Phil Karlson gave over the film to Joe Don Baker, who is very convincing as Pusser. Walking Tall was a massive hit & became a staple at drive-in theaters for years after.

unlabelledView post →Listening to the @brndnstrssng.bsky.social commentary on the 2004 WALKING TALL, and this is terrific stuff. Smart, thorough, personable. It’s a movie I really enjoy, a modestly-scaled bruiser, and Streussnig is a connoisseur of the form.
unlabelledView post →I’m glad they chose Joe Don Baker’s most iconic film instead of “Mitchell”. But seriously while Walking Tall may have been his big break MST3K introduced Mr Baker to a whole nother generation and that’s not nothing #TCMParty

unlabelledView post →That's my obituary of the great Joe Don Baker up @guardian now & in the paper paper soon. Amazing how the classics, Charley Varrick and The Outfit wound up defining his career more than Walking Tall! www.theguardian.com/film/2025/ma...
unlabelledView post →WALKING TALL may be the greatest redneck justice movie of all time and he absolutely kills it in THE OUTFIT and CHARLEY VARRICK, the latter being one of my favorite crime movie heavies. And if you want a great later career performance, check out Jeff Nichols MUD.
unlabelledView post →1970s...crazy. Yesterday I went to Siskel Center for Wiseman's Canal Zone (1977). At one point, U.S. military radio station guy announces latest films on offer: Walking Tall 2, The Passenger, The Happy Hooker, and a Joe Don Baker film whose title eludes me. Cut later to local marquee: Cuckoo's Nest.
unlabelledView post →Is that from his remake of Walking Tall? Because I think Walking Tall and The Rundown (Christopher Walken at his most Walken) are the peak of his forays into film
unlabelledView post →A car that blows up before it even hits anything. How movie of you, "Walking Tall." #WalkingTall #TCMParty
unlabelledView post →It's really strange how the 1973 Walking Tall film with its emphatic "he's a big hero, who plays by his own rules" story was obviously bullshit, but stuff like this just makes me never want to rewatch it. Evil.

unlabelledView post →1973 was a massive year for Joe Don Baker. Walking Tall, Charley Varrick, and The Outfit. Fantastic movie with Robert Duvall, Karen Black, and a host of other great stars. Another favorite of mine that's not talked about nearly enough. The Outfit (1973) - Trailer youtu.be/YBLuiXCGF6A?...
unlabelledView post →Character with guns and fists fights impossible odds while getting one scratch. That's a hard pass. They've been making this movie for over 50 years..they're all the same. Walking Tall season 845
unlabelledView post →this fantasy, endlessly repeated, was first made into film in 1973;s 'Walking Tall' was based on the lie that Buford Pusser's wife was killed by criminals and he went on a revenge spree to avenge her, when in reality it has been demonstrably proven he killed his own wife and lied.
unlabelledView post →I swear The Rundown and Walking Tall are just the same movie. Both fun, as were Be Cool and Doom, but basically the same movie. (I’ve watched both way too many times.)
unlabelledView post →"If you’ve seen the film Walking Tall, this is that movie minus Joe Don Baker, plus some martial arts." (Andrew) "Yes, so there’s some actual martial arts choreography instead of ‘I’m going to hit you with something like a bat and fall into you and wrastle you on the ground.’" -China O'Brien
