"Billy Jack." One of the most laughably biased pieces of cinema propaganda ever filmed. And typically hypocritical too. Billy Jack was the hero who kicked the snot out of half the townspeople in the name of peace.

Remember the scene in the ice cream parlor, when the (inevitably typecast) rednecks dump a sack of flour over the doe-eyed, helpless little Indian girl (who looked about as Indian as Pamela Anderson)? I believe there was a line later in the movie that described her as (and I'm not kidding!) "God's little gift of sunshine."

Tom Laughlin was an idiot.

Billy Jack was so bad that it showed up in an old Firesign Theater routine. “And I’m not Billy Jacking you, either”.

I did get the impression he buys his Kool-Aid by the keg.

Gotta give him credit, though, he sure managed to wrangle a healthy capitalist career out of it! $;-)
