Bucktown (1975) is a movie I recently watched on Tubi and tells the tale of a man visiting his family's estate in the south after the death of his brother. When he tries to claim his brother's house and bar the local towns people and sheriff try to force a "tax" on him. The brother calls a few friends into town to hold off the locals and ensure he gets what is rightfully his.

This movie is directed by Arthur Marks (Bonnie's Kid) and stars Fred Williamson (Dusk till Dawn), Pam Grier (Coffy), Carl Weathers (Rocky), Thalmus Rasulala (New Jack City) and Art Lund (Black Caesar).

The storyline for this is entertaining to watch unfold. The background music is excellent and the cast is fun even if some of the performances are uneven. Fred Williamson was a perfect main character, Pam Grier is smoking hot and a young Carl Weathers is always entertaining. The action scenes were solid and the final fight was solid.

Overall this isn't an all time great blaxploitation but it is entertaining and worth a viewing. I would score this a solid 6.5-7/10 and strongly recommend seeing it once.
