'''''Walking Tall''''' is the 2004 feature film remake of the [[Walking Tall (1973)|1973 action drama]] that starred [[Joe Don Baker]]. [[Dwayne Johnson|Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson]] stars as Chris Vaughn, a US Special Forces veteran who returns to his small Washington town only to find it corrupted by a crime lord that runs a gambling and prostitution establishment. He then proceeds to clean the town up on his own, taking on the corrupt authorities and the various crime elements in town. The film's popularity would spark two sequels that starred [[Bo Svenson]] as Pusser and the remake would spawn two unrelated DTV sequels that starred [[Kevin Sorbo]] and were released in 2007: ''[[Walking Tall: The Payback]]'' and ''[[Walking Tall: Lone Justice]]''. | |||
