Well, both films had the same director, Phil Karlson. He brought a certain gritty, realistic style to the table.

Gritty and realistic? Walking Tall is a load of corny mush.
"facts are stupid things" - Ronald Reagan

Had to look up that quote accredited to Reagan, and here's the full story:
Reagan pulled a Bushism by misquoting John Adams who said in 1770 that "Facts are stubborn things" to indicate that facts tell the honest truth.
It was a verbal slip that Reagan immediately corrected. The full sentence is, "Facts are stupid things stubborn things, should I say." Anti-Reagan people only give the first part of the quote or if it's a clip, they cut it before Reagan corrects himself. This was from a major speech delivered at the 1988 Republican Convention.

Phil Karlson directed both movies, so there you go. Walking Tall is basically an R-rated 1970's hicksploitation version of this film.
You've seen Guy Standeven in something because the man was in everything.
