Billy Jack.The second in the Billy Jack series (The Born Losers was part one, The Trial of Billy Jack is next, and then Billy Jack goes to Washington).
This one was the most successful of the 4 and I can see why. It is just amazing from beginning to end. Billy Jack is the main character this time (hence the name of the film) he is fighting for a spiritual arts school located on the reservation. The towns people hate the hippie children and natives, so anytime any of them go town the local bullies take shots at them. Billy Jack witnesses such an event and literally beats the hell out of all them! There was like 15 guys!!!!!!!! Billy Jack is half native, former green beret and martial arts expert (sounds like my resume). He can certainly TCB and he does.
The set up of the school is really good too…the school is free to attend, but you must follow its rules, no drugs, alcohol etc. And you must do your part to help out. While at the school you are free to pursue your own art – music, theatre, painting, writing, and even film making!
In Billy’s final speech he is asked by the head of the school to just let it go and they will move the school to a new place. Billy says something to the effect of “what place on Earth is there when men don’t treat each other like crap. Tell me and ill go there.”
Good fun movie, with some great messages and a great character.
5/5
J-Man.
