It was idiotic because Walking Tall sucked @$$ compared to Rundown.

And Myth agree with you 100%.

Walking Tall was horrible. The fights were retarded and the cameral angles during them were god awful. Plus, the Rock took on like 5 large security guards and yet he got his ass kicked by the pansy main bad guy. Btw, many of you seem to like it because it is based on a real story. The key here is "based on". Walking Tall had drama (come on, the Rock being serious?) and action (poorly executed). Very dull movie.

The Rundown, although not great, was pretty good in the sense that it had a little comedy and action. The action sequences were fun to watch because they were (intentionally) comical. Plus Christafer Walken was hillarious.

Did you see the same movie as I did? Walking Tall was awesome and of course the rundown was as well, but hey movies never get the true story completly right but still it was good.

I don't know. I hear the old one isn't all that bad, but the new one with the Rock was awful. Seriously, rewatch the fight scenes. Plus, as I said, he can take on a bunch of security guards but suddenly struggles against the main bad guy? WTF?

Exactly. And the old one was quite sweet.

I haven't seen the old one, when was it done and is it called walking tall as well?

The original "Walking Tall" was released in 1973, and is actually a trilogy.

what are the names of the original three?

thats what i was thinking at the end. he takes all the big guys down just like tath then the skinny crack dealer and him fight for like a year

hey its all part of the drama, he beat up the big guys, but got hurt in the process and then had to take on the small guy which made him look tougher than he really is.
