Billy Jack one of the worst movies ever made. RIP Tom. Ah, but the scene when he plugged the biker gang leader between the eyes with his Winchester Model 94, breaking those white framed sunglasses, was great to a bunch of Marines just out of Parris Island, sitting on the ground at a Camp Geiger/Camp Lejeune outdoor movie.

From what I remember, all of his movies have been stinkers.I saw Billy Jack when it first came out. I think I was 15 or so. I couldn't believe how some of my friends went back to see that POS movie repeatedly.

You had the same problem with it that I had. Billy Jack was a flip flopper when flip flopping wasn’t cool. He was a pacifist before he wasn’t a pacifist. Weird idea for a movie.

Is that Gilda and Laraine with Billy Paul?

He also preached for universal health care and nuclear disarmament. Tool.

I was in the navy at the time. Half of us were conservative “American, Love it or Leave It” types. The other half were hippies who joined the navy to avoid being drafted into the army. They not only loved BILLY JACK, they were really pissed. They were also really pissed when “Captain America” died in the motorcycle crash.

Indeed. And "The Trial of Billy Jack" was, without doubt, the worst movie of all time. Just goshawful. And wasn't there a third one: "Billy Jack Goes To Washington"? Where he gets pardoned and appointed to fill a senate seat?
To: Ditter
In the original version of FOTR, a car is visible in the far background driving down a road as Sam and Frodo discuss their distance from home in the cornfield. Has since been digitally removed.
To: Sherman Logan
That may have been what I am remembering but also something about their bare feet was wrong.
