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.

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.

Gritty and realistic? Walking Tall is a load of corny mush.

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