you do not have to agree with it message to enjoy the first walking tall . certainly not as violent a the dirty harry picture and but just a unsubtle and it be a powerful movie with a totally convincing and appropriately square performance by joe don baker . the first sequel and in which baker be replace by bo svenson and be a boring and by the number follow up and with none of the force of the original . the second sequel be even bad while talky and drab and it exploit ( in an almost cannibalistic way ) the first movie by lift and recreate the most famous sequence from it . there be a few good moment ( when pusser pick up his trusty bat ) and but they be very scarce .
