Review of Billy Jack (1971) by Gamzguy17 — 21 Aug 2021
"Billy Jack" acts less like an action hero and more like a symbol of justice for the extremist left. Some may not like the heavy dialogue exchanges, but the topic at hand here is both interesting and controversial.
The discussions made me want to participate alongside the youths to thwart against, not the conservatives, but the awful, **** things the police forces and two other numb-nut characters do to the innocent during this film.
It is definitely a period piece film (a good one at that) and the political talk remains relevant today. Kudos to Laughlin's hard work on making this low-budget, independent film a success because it is shot very well, has some well done action scenes (even though they're sparse), and it makes use of a soundtrack that compliments the film's visuals, characters, and message.
