This movie was the talk of the time. What makes this movie relevant today is that the corruption that was depicted in that movie did not die. It went corporate/big business, with government support. Joe Don Baker offers a fictional portrayal of the late Buford Pusser, a real life Tennessee based sheriff who tried to clean up his town.
What makes this an important entry to the pantheon of Kung Fu Expresso is that the character does not give up. He is the true personification of a WARRIOR. And it may take that necessary level of commitment shown here to bring this country back to its people.
Of interest to brothers like sanjuro ronin is the entrance made by the late Brenda Benet at @ 14:01. It is the most amazing entrance I have ever seen. Just the thought reminds me I need something to drink. It is unfortunate she committed suicide at the age of 36.

An amazing social commentary movie, what Billy Jack tried to be.
As for Brenda: oh my, oh my, get me some of that pie
