Bucktown

From 1975, Bucktown is the story of a man named Duke Johnson, who returns to the little craphole of Bucktown to bury his deceased brother. He then finds himself re-opening his brother's nightclub, which goes well for about three seconds before the local redneck sheriffs come rolling around looking for their kick backs and bribes. Instead of paying off the cops, Duke stands against them and soon calls in some help from the "big city" to come in and help get rid of these greedy, racist cops. But what happened after this, even Duke couldn't see coming. A story about the corruption of power and the strength (and frailty) of loyalty and friendship, Bucktown is a kick ass blaxploitation flick featuring great performances from Fred Williamson and Pam Grier, as well as a pre-Apollo Creed version of Carl Weathers.
