Curiosidades

Bucktown is a 1975 American crime action blaxploitation film released by American International Pictures directed by Arthur Marks and starring Fred Williamson, Pam Grier, Thalmus Rasulala, and Tony King. Carl Weathers, who plays Hambone, also appeared in his first credited film role.

Production

Filming began on September 30, 1974 in Kansas City on 12th Street, 9th St, and Locust St, with further shooting at a Railroad Depot in Leavenworth and a cemetery and the Platte County Courthouse in Platte City. According to Marks, he got inspiration to make Bucktown after reading an article about a bartender in Brooklyn, Illinois who fought back against a corrupt system, eventually leading to a shootout.

The Platte County Courthouse was unhappy that the movie was filmed at the location without permission, and requested copies of the script to decide if further filming was permitted. Eventually, permission was granted, and a breakaway wall was installed for the scene where Duke crashes a tank into the building.
