What about "Billy Paul"? (Not to be confused with the guy who sang 'Me and Misses Jones').

Indeed. And "The Trial of Billy Jack" was, without doubt, the worst movie of all time. Just goshawful.

RIP.

Billy Jack spent half of the movie preaching peace, love and the virtues of gun control. He spent the other half of the movie beating people up and shooting them.

As bad as it was, I loved it. Some of it has to do that I was dating my husband when we saw it back in the 70s, but mostly it was so campy! I’ve tried to get my kids to watch it to get a feel what the hippies’ 60s were like. It’s almost like watching a satire of the 1960s, except that it wasn’t.

"Billy Jack” one of the worst movies ever made"...well no it was bad but not the worst.....We were in the Drive-in watching, when he said "I'm going to put my foot right here" and cars were honking and flashing lights...It was a fun movie.....

I recall seeing the microphone in one scene of Billy Jack when it played in the theater.

From what I remember, all of his movies have been stinkers.

Born Losers
Billy Jack
The Return of Billy Jack
The Master Gunfighter
Billy Jack goes to Washington.

I’ve only seen Born Losers on TV, and had kin who saw the others and thought they were great, because he did whoopa$$ on various evil law enforcement people while protecting Indians and hippies.

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.
