Walking Tall: Final Chapter is the third installment of the Walking Tall film series. The film was directed by Jack Starrett. It opened in the U.S. on June 17, 1977; its on-screen title is Final Chapter: Walking Tall. All Walking Tall films were shot in Chester and Madison Counties, Tennessee; Buford Pusser was sheriff of McNairy County.

In August 2025, contrary to the story of Buford Pusser as depicted in the film, the real life Buford Pusser was implicated by the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation in the 1967 murder of his wife Pauline.
