Ode to Billy Jack

[LilDarlingxx]

Billy Jack for president

[LilDarlingxx]

Damn Anglo republicans!!!

That's always the problemo

[kimbej2]

Sure dick...

[clangoaler]

@LilDarlingxx; idiotic and naive comment... 

[sameegrl]

I remember watching this as a kid and crying my eyes out when they took Billy Jack away....he's the f**kin' man!

[jpena1965]

Its sad to see how strong prejudice was then compare to today, only different in some ways. Even the P.D. has prejudice cops who love to make minorities feel like dirt and some would get arrested for something that doesn't exist.

[crouchCritter]

what happened to the trial of billy jack????

[DOCTOROFMINDMD]

bong so han who did the fighting scenes for billy jack, was one of my teachers in SOCAL circa 1970 something wow wild

[jessicarush22]

I was a young girl when I first watched the billy jack movies and I look up to the billy jack character & had a crush on him. for what he believes in it's not portraying this country to say that people in power are bad & corrupt tom is trying to wake people up to whats going on and how bad things are & how bad people are treated & he really does stand up for human rights & has done alot maybe not the same ass kicking stuff as his alter ego billy but in speaking up for everyone & helping them.

[jessicarush22]

they are trying to be passive but are forced to act because people threaten to hurt the ones they care about there not saying that there no going against there passive nature and crying over a movie isn't bad it means you care and a lot of the stuff in the movie really happened and tom just changed events around and added fiction . I'm don't want to hate people or hurt them I want to be peaceful but it's nature to get angry & fight back when bad things happen to you, people around you & family

[NoMercyJustCruelty]

In the new sequel Bernerd returns as a gung fu zombie.

[lancelot2760jm]

me ,who is 48 and seen war ,i iwish this come true

[hamm45r]

Alas i suppose you are right lonnilovely, but kung-fu is obsolete, it has been replaced with guns,bombs,tanks,planes and other things, and for the standing up for whats right, you should think before you act, if it is clear if you disagree you will be oh lets say, drawn and quartered, then its best to STFU and keep your head down.

[lonnilovely]

I don't believe one person can solve our problems. I believe we all live in one world and we should all care what goes on it it. I agree that Billy Jack is obsolete in today's world. I think it would be great however if we could stand on what we believe. Can't keep my down I am a cop. But I will do my best to stand for you. Maybe you can do your best not to draw and quarter me for believing that you are important enough to stand for.

[1happystar]

GOD!!!! How I love Billy Jack!

[YawBStoopit01]

And listen, now, settle down, because Billy Jack loves you too! And you too Uncle Remus, and you too Aunt Sally! Oh, let's jest all sang a rousin' negro spiritual!!!!

[Hamma245r]

Can't have peace without war.

[YawBStoopit01]

True That, G!

[hotrodz4ever]

lmao my insructor hates this show and when he walks in we all raise our right fist and sing this song

[ninjaanate]

how could anybody possibly hate Billy Jack.

[YawBStoopit01]

Well the whole freakin' town did, that's why he was always bustin' on they ass! Didn't you watch it?????

[YawBStoopit01]

He may hate the show, more likely though, he hates that he has a dojo fulla MORONS!!!!

[Gathol]

explore your psyches ppl and answer why it touches you even today so deeply. I think it's cuz we all want peace and safety.

[YawBStoopit01]

no no no. it didn't touch me, I had my hand in my draws!

[Gathol]

i see... you were touching yourself. well at least that's real. LOL

[sacasonrisas]

billyjackdotinfo are on sale

[lonnilovely]

the end of the movie makes me cry...

where are the Billy Jack's?

[YawBStoopit01]

Where are they? In JAIL! Didn't you see the end of the movie or were you too busy crying yer little eyes out (over a movie!!!) The law today doesnt allow you to go around dropping the vigilante kung-fu fist on people. You end up IN JAIL! So dry up and settle down and act like you know something. Fooling us like that will keep you in high spirits, no doubt! Sheeeeesh!

[lonnilovely]

I know that more people should stand up for what is right in the world, a kung-fu fist ... opposed to drugs, bombs , guns and so on... maybe you need rethink. As far as a movie making me cry, I am glad that I have the emotion and heart left in me in the world of cruel and uncaring to be able to cry, even at a movie.

I would love to keep this banter going but ...I simply agree... you and I are different and that is what makes the world as it is. I like me and I hope that you like you Peace Out

[banjobilly9]

great song and movies

does anyone know where i can get hold of info

on Tom's martial arts training?

[dieselboy64]

Look up Bong Soo Han- as far as I've read, he doubled for Tom Laughlin for some fight scenes, as well as instructing him in Hapkido.

[YawBStoopit01]

Yes, correct you are Dieselboy. Boong Soo-Han was fight coordinator, advisor and stand in for Tom. Sadly, he just passed on to that great dojang in the eastern skies not long ago. There is a tribute or too on the YT! Bong also wrote a book in the 70's called HAPKIDO (Ohara Publishing)

[YawBStoopit01]

Moreover if you look closely under the brim of the hat in slow motion sequences you can see the person is "Asian"--it's Bong Soo Han. The hat was purposely set low on the bow in an attempt to conceal the stand-in from the audience. Also, Bong is a bit thinner than Tommy.

[paulinhattt]

Vim entregar um leite.

[jdawgsworld]

i remember this scene...i was 11 or 12 when billy jack was big...

[YawBStoopit01]

Well probably everyone was big when you were 11 cuz you were jest a little somebaddy...

[brucestringbean]

I also thought it was interesting that this cheese-fest of a movie, seeks to teach us the futility of violence by violently resolving every single conflict in the movie

[AryanSpirituality]

that's all some men will ever understand, is brute force and violence.

nations who exercise the eye for eye, hand for stolen purse law ~ have a next to zero crime problem.

[YawBStoopit01]

Oh My God. Tell me that you are not THAT fucking confused in life, Oswald! This was, as YOU pointed out, a M O V I E! Movies are for ENTERTAINMENT, NOT ENLIGHTENMENT!!! Why do you libs think movies "teach" things??? Pull your head out your ass and smell the coffee grinds, Cupcake!

[brucestringbean]

Wow I'm a lib now? I never would have guessed

My point cheesedick was that the libs ( socialists actually) went and made this movie that was all about non violence that had one of the most violent plots ever.

As for movies not teaching read the comments asswipe. Youve got people right here talking about how this movie impacted their whole life.

You need to get your head out of your boyfriends crotch, swallow and come back to reality

[YawBStoopit01]

Cheesedick...let me see...how would you possibly have garnered an opinion my taste of my...OHHH OHHHHH!!!! Brucie, say it aint so!!! I though it was a queer wet dream!!! OOOHHHHHH KILL ME! KILL ME NOW!!!!!

[brucestringbean]

I thought it was interesting that the movie proves George Bernard Shaws observation that " We (Jean & the kids) are only able to sleep peacefully in our beds at night, because rough men (Billy Jack) stand ready to do violence on our behalf" .

I've got this movie on VHS I watch it ocassionally for a good laugh

[rmsmith666]

the name of the band was named coven

[Dougarony]

OK, yes, thanks for the info.

[Dougarony]

Great movie & song...I met the X-Girlfriend of the guy/band who wrote the song...I forgot the name of the group...Anyone?

[Drag0niizz]

Dennis Lambert and Brian Potter wrote it but it was later re-released by COVEN

[sweetorganic]

This was my favourite song and film for quite a while as a young lad.  He was like an early Chuck Norris/Rambo character only his role had more dimension. He abhorred violence. Not real common for an "action hero," huh?

There's a prequel and a sequel or two. All are entertaining and thought-provoking; Excellent examples of low-budget, independent filmmaking.

[subtitleman]

I remember seeing the movie in the theaters.

[williamwagener]

Dr. Ron PAUL is the Real Billy Jack  today. Join the Ron PAUL Revolution.

[sayeretmatkal17021]

the time is NOW for a NATIVE AMERICAN INDIAN NATIONAL HOLIDAY!

[sayeretmatkal17021]

"Billy Jack" should be shown unedited in PRIME TIME by all networks!

[sayeretmatkal17021]

"Billy Jack" should be aired by all networks unedited in PRIME TIME!!

[totallybarefoot]

You've got to see the whole movie. It's a great film.

Bizarrely, though, Dr. Johnny Fever from KRP in Cincinnati is there, looking just as old he did decades later, in an outfit that can only be described as fruity.

[Toner2515]

Wow....I remember this as a kid...Billy Jack was a good man !!!

[eeeeee012004]

I remember watching this movie when I was a little girl..TY this brought back happy memories of my childhood..I love the song 2

[MoreToleranceNow]

Billy Jack will come again to mete out justice in a world gone mad with hate.

[szemkus]

Yeah Billy Jack is awesome in "The Great Hollywood Rape Slaughter"

and this too...

[norm58]

We need more songs like this!

[Franherrada]

Beautifull film !!!

and a good song. Thank very much !!

From Argentina, Francisco.

[freetree64]

There is a reason this hits home, and we should all be ashamed for knowing that reason, and doing nothing about it. For those who do we refer to as heroes, for the rest of us, We miss you and honor you Billy Jack, in a time like we are now, back then, you were a quiet force, which refused to accept that which the world said was ine"vet"able. May your ripples become waves, to bring about the change we all seek, while we view this simple testament to beauty, grace, and the truth.

[csodrew40]

that was cool!!
