Achieved a level of cinematic pretentiousness that most of us couldn’t appreciate until the 90’s. Did you ever see Vanishing Point ?
Also came out in 1971.
A lot of drugs were being done in Hollywood.

Dennis Hopper probably did about 3/4ths of them.

Vanishing Point had a few minutes that were very watchable.

Vanishing Point has been called "existentialist."
That's pretentious. But at least Vanishing Point had cool car chases and beautiful desert scenery.
Whereas Billy Jack had heavy-handed messaging.
The bad guys were sooooo evil. Needlessly evil. And the good guys were so pure and good. Even saintlike.

Vanishing Point was an instant cult classic. Saw it with my girlfriend in a Drive-In Movie Theatre. Souped up muscle car with a blower. Topless girl on a motorcycle.
