This movie is one the best remakes, I have ever seen made. The other good remake is the The Beverly Hillbillies(1993) , what did Diedrich Bader do how he did Jethro so well. He must have the original series as a kid. I Like Johnny Knoxville in Walking Tall , I like when he chops up the beauitful Red Truck going as far the Chrone the wheels,. the Colummn.

Walking Tall was a huge disappointment to me. I am a huge fan and collector of Sheriff Buford Pusser. I was very excited when I found outthey were remaking the movie, then got deflated when I found out "The Rock" was cast as the main character. The movie had actually nothing to do with Sheriff Buford Pusser, just the title , which in my opinion was the only way to bring in people to the movie. Saying it was inspired by his story is an overstatement.
I would loved to have a fresh take on Walking Tall , but I don't think it will come as close to the original. Don't forget Pusser was involved in the movie when it was made in the early 70's.
Walking Tall was a bad example of a "fresh take" when talking about redoing movies.
