Whatever You Want They've Got... And Bucktown is where you'll find it!

Nomination Year: 1999

SYNOPSIS: Duke (Fred Williamson) visits a small Southern town, as his brother has died. He has to stick around for sixty days so the estate can be properly processed. His late brother's nightclub, a bunch of redneck policemen, a whorehouse, some old buddies, and a coal chute all play into this rollicking good time adventure for the whole family. If by "rollicking good time adventure for the whole family" I mean "grim movie of violence and vengeance."
