DVD Review: The Buck Stops Here....In Bucktown!!
Summary: 4 Stars

Duke(Fred Williamson) rolls into Bucktown, MO, for his brother's funeral. After being left his brother's bar in his will, Duke decides to reopen it, but soon finds out that the town is "run by honkies". This means that the racist police force is running a kind of protection racket, getting money from store owners and such. Well, we all know damn well that Fred "The Hammer" Williamson is not the kind of guy who pays protection money. After smacking around some of the corrupt cops(and in the process getting Pam Grier all turned on), a war is started. Duke calls in an old friend, Roy, to help him out. Roy brings along a handful of goons that include Tony King(from Cannibal Apocalypse!! Yay!!) and Carl Weathers himself. The group manage to slaughter every last cop in town and somehow get away with it free and clear. Roy and his goons become the new police force and start in on the same racket operation the white cops had been doing!! Now Duke is pissed and it's time for him to go toe to toe with his old pal. Another war is fought, this time it's only Williamson and Grier against Roy and his posse. It all climaxes with a brawl between Roy and Duke that is probably longer than the fight between Roddy Piper and Keith David in John Carpenter's They Live!!
Yup, it's another fun blaxploitation flick from A.I.P. Williamson is his regular badazz self and doesn't disappoint. Grier, who's usually a buttkicker in her films, is pretty much reduced to the not so impressive role of a love interest/damsel in distress. Not one of Grier's finer moments, but it's always a joy to see her(especially when she manages a brief topless scene).
It has it's flaws and may not be the best work of the actors and director Arthur Marks, but it's a solid entry in this fun genre.
