i went to prescott arizona as a young-un and my pops said to me "son this is where they filmed the fight scene from Billy Jack ,and I said 'So what'" I think different now...
Your re-edited Billy Jack proves that Tom Laughlin did do his own fighting scenes. I was impressed and actually like the fight scene better. I still wonder how the f did you do that? The Trial of Billy Jack fight scene is the best too, couldn't improve on that. The Billy Jack character may not be real but Tom Laughlin is and after Billy Jack Goes To Washington I would have voted for him for anything. He goes with the likes of Jesse Ventura, they should had teamed up
I loved this movie back in the day. Bon Soo Han did most of the fancy stuff, which is hapkido. I got to meet Mr. Han in toronto in the early 80's when they tried to film a remake of Billy Jack but it was halted when Tom was injured during filming. Mr. Han was a very nice, professional man and very skilled.
Billy Jack wasnt the best fighter, but its was the coolest mood, and bad guys. Not just some random guy attacking. When he says somethin like "Im gonna put my foot into the right side of your face' and the guy laughs, u know hes hit. Worthy of a return in todays movies, COMING soon SoN of Billy Jack
Bestamerica: ARE YOU KIDDING ME????????? Chuck Norris can cok minute rice in 20 seconds. Chuck can pop a wheelie on a unicycle. I can't believe you ask this question grasshopper
@bestamerica Bruce lee Jet Li Chuck Norris David Carradine Seagal and van Damme are not good enough to be on the list--Billy jack was a movie fighter only
The bell sound effect is hilarious. I've watched it over & over again. -very nice editing too, matching the sound to audio (tough task). Thanks for uploading!
@bestamerica Hey bestamerica are you able to add a video to your favorites or catagories that you have other names for? For some reason I cant add a video to my other lists when I try and use the add feature. Only playlist comes up. Are you having that problem or is it just my Youtube?
@bestamerica Yeah Van Damme was tired of Seagal's shit so he went outside and waited for him but Seagal didn't go outside because he's a chickenshit and Van Damme would have kicked his fat ass.
I watch this movie when it first came out, the one tin soldier song still makes my hair stand up on end. wish I still had my Billy Jack hat, thank You Coven & Tom
Jordanthecat: Nice job. You're the only person I've seen that made something with all the fight footage I put on the bonus disc of the 35th anniversary. And the sound of the frying pan: freakin' hysterical. I don't know if Tom has seen this, but I think it's great.
@BillyJackRights Hi, Frank! I sent a link in a PM to Mr. Laughlin's "TomLaughlin2007" YouTube channel, and have reason to believe that someone at billyjack (dot com) saw it, but I wonder if he might have been unamused by that frying pan sound effect.
I loved and still love this movie, and put a great deal of respectful, though amateur, effort into making this video. Thanks so much for watching!
Love IT. the dinner bell sound reminds me of when Jethro was a Double Knot Spy and had the Iron Hat. Same type hat made the SAME sound when hit. CLASSIC
@gary32080 I debated adding that, but it became my favorite sound effect in the whole video. I sent a link to my vid to Tom Laughlin and have reason to believe that he's seen it, but he never commented- and likely because of that gong, and the earlier "fuck it, Dude..." sound effects. I made this vid with much love & respect, but he may not have taken it that way...
@wheelkick The version which appeared in the film was a terrific and memorable scene, but I agree that it should have been longer- they had all this (and more) footage they could have used! Laughlin could have edited out all those annoying scenes of kids playing acoustic guitars and extended the fight scenes, and ended up with an arguably much better movie but still, it's hard to argue with success: Billy Jack was the blockbuster movie of its era.
I've asked why are our representatives in government ignoring us and behaving as if there's no tomorrow
*laughing" just saw this comment about the powers that be
"Kinda like that old Billy Jack movie, The IMF and the world bank, is going to put its foot right up against the worlds face, and there's not a damn thing we can do about it"
Still doesn't explain why there going on w/out fear of repercussion. I guess we'll know soon nuff
True, it's a gong. I told a guy i was gonna hit him on the side of his head. he didnt laugh he took a jab at my face and broke my nose. now i stand back further. Mr Meogi backing out of the dojo was a great lesson.
you should try duct taping a sponge to your nose it might cushion the blow and if meogi and daniel-san had simply tied the lids of garbage cans to their backs they could have left the kobra-kai dojo confidently (of course they would have had to use the old fashioned metal lids those new fangled plastic ones would have left them in a world of hurt)
I am not kidding, This guy i worked for ( a very big guy) said you'd better shut your mouth. so i did... i turned to walk away and he punched me in the back of the head... when i saw mr meogi backing away i thought "he's had that happen too"
i am not kidding either.....when that guy u worked for (the vey big one) said you'd better shut your mouth and so u did and turned to walk away and he punched u in the back of the head ...well just imagine his surprise when his fist hit the garbage can lid u had cleverly tied to the back of your head.....that was my point
thats amazing footage in the end and the scenes never seen before--i heard,some were really hurt -way after the production stopped..thanks for posting--another billy movie worth seeing is bornl o s e r s
i grew up with this movie ... thought tom laughlin was a bad ass...till i got the dvd and could freeze frame the kick.... its not him kicking the guy its a asian stunt man
I remember watching this in theatres too. Cool movie at the time. I also watch Bruce lee in films after. You can watch many of the older films many times. You know how old they are but they were new and fresh at the time. Great memories and cool sound track too. YOu can find it on the Bjack..com..if interestd. They had attempted at REMAKE of this movie but things fell through. Im not sure why. Best of luck and hoping it does get a much deserved remake. Keep the peace!!
Tom Laughlin is still trying to raise money to shoot yet another sequel, according to his website. I sense that it's not going too well, though- he's been trying to attract investors for quite a while now. An actual re-make/reboot of Billy Jack would be great, but I don't think that's quite what he has in mind, unfortunately. And for a re-make to really work, he'd be best off entrusting it to another director, which is probably something he'd be unwilling to do.
A guy named Tom W. use to live here always pulled his shoes off and was ready to kick a-- He thought he was Billy Jack.This poor guy that looked like benard used to work for him.He would slap him around just kidding.He was really a good person he is gone to the promiseland now .Thank's for the entertantment Tom. Miss you man.
I wouldn't take the time to remove my boots in a street fight.... but it does make a big difference in power and placement removing them. If you look at the movie carefully, he didn't just remove his boots to fight: he lead his enemies around to a position where he could use his advantage the most.
Given a choice, I would fight barefoot, but not in a rocky glass ridden parking lot.
But at the time, in the early 70s when I saw the movie the first time, it really worked. Keep in mind that Billy Jack pre-dates all the martial arts films, and that Han Bong-Soo was a Hapkido expert, not a movie fight choreographer. I don't even think that movie "fight choreographer" was a job that existed at the time.
But yeah, if the bad guys had rushed him all at once, which would have been the sensible and realistic thing to do, it would have been a much different scene.
I always figured they didn't rush because they were scared. I've seen guys fall over eachother and lock up, even if numbers were on their side, simply because they didn't have experience of fighting as a unit. They didn't know how to rush at once without getting in eachother's way.
This is so much better than the way this scene appeared in the movie. I can't understand why they left so much martial arts action on the cutting room floor. I guess they wanted to make room for more crappy folk songs and hippie "psychodramas". Bong Soo Han was great though, he should have been the next Bruce Lee. I think having his name attached to the Billy Jack movies killed his career.
Han became famous in the United States due to his work in the Billy Jack films. Those movies also introduced Hapkido to the West.
But you're right- there is so much feeble guitar playing and other stuff that should have been edited out of the movie, and so much of Han Bong-Soo's work that could have been added.
I actually kind of like the Hippy Love and Peace with Sunshine and Puppies and Flowers and Kittens and Happy Happy Joy Joy trees.
This dual-nature of the film is one of the things I always liked about it. Sure, it would be nice if the world was perfect, but there is no place like that, so the world needs men like Billy Jack.
the world needs both. Men like Billy Jack, and the people at the school to give them something worth fighting for.
Luved his movies. I wish he would have done more. He was such a wasted talent, its a shame he didn't go on to do more Billy Jack movies sequels. He did make a western in the early 70s called the "Last Gunfighter" I think. It wasn't bad.
I enjoyed that particular fight scene in the movie. I liked the part where he kicks the fat guy on the face now thats confidence I'm gonna kick you on that side of the face I like that. I myself fought 3 guys when I was 13 it was the first time I felt confidence in my martial arts ability. Haven't been jumped like that since then hope it never happens either.
Tom Laughlin gives full acknowledgement to Bong Soo Han, as he came to be known in the US, in the movie's credits. The Billy Jack movie served as an introduction of Hapkido to the west. Han had a co-starring role in the Billy Jack sequel.
Billy Jack, and Tom Laughlin, are absolutely genuine- a fraud by no means. It was the Billy Jack movies which introduced and elevated the prominence of hapkido, and of Han Bong Soo.
I studied under Lloyd Garcia who told me the were both students of Soo. Im not sure of the details, but Lloyd was a a friend, an honest man and world champion in 3 weight classes. Told me what he was teaching me was the same art from the movie born losers. Hap-Ki-do(Korean) translated means the same thing in English as Jujitsu-Japan/. Google it!
OMG, I love this vid...I am going to order the box set too..only, not the autographed copy..TOM is asking way too much money for stuff that he autographs. That is sooo not cool to treat his fans like that. But I am a Billy Jack fan, so I wil order the reasonably priced box set. Thanks for posting this.
I've watched enough martial arts movies to know that crowds of bad guys always patiently wait to attack one at a time. Some of them even just stand around, waiting to be kicked. I don't know why crowds of bad guys continue to use this feeble strategy, but according to my movie research, they do.
The Steven Seagal movie "Marked for death" shows why multiple attackers are bad, haha... they get iin each other's way... atleast in a movie perspective. Working Security I have once had a confrontation with three guys, and for some reason two just stood around while one attacked... they must have watched Billy Jack.
Billy Jack in this movie is playing a little game with his fighting called CLOCK. Tom Laughlin the guy who played Billy Jack in the movie was taught Tae Kwan Do at the University of South Dakota in Vermillion SD buy a little Korean dude named Dollar...I met him several times he was a good teacher
Wow...this was like an unexpected Christmas gift. One of my all time favorite movies. I loved this scene (especially the extended version). Thanks for posting.
I deeply appreciate your response to my comments. It is readily apparent to me that you have the same devotion to Billy Jack movies that I have. Please contiuue to provide more videos like this. My best regards.
Right on Ian, I always loved this movie and indeed have a VHS tape of Billy Jack! I'm impressed at the sound effects you added to this footage ..Right on man
Selecting, trimming & organizing these silent clips, then finding and adding all the sound effects was a lot of work but a labour of love because, like you, I have many fond memories of Billy Jack. It was powerful stuff when we first watched it at the local theatre.
After watching this movie as a kid, I took up Hapkido and rode throughout the west killing Indians, until someone explained the point of the movie to me, which I apparently missed. After that my son married a girl from Ottawa tribe and made piece. Now I'm paying off my reparations in babysitting. (say, wasn't there a Chief named "Sitting Baby" at Wounded Knee?) In any event, I got a kick out of the video. (heh heh, see what I did there? kick. get it?)

Remember, this was the 70s,... There were some some good movies, .. n some crap. But hey, this is a damn good movie without the new CGI..

I remember watching this in theatres too. Cool movie at the time. I also watch Bruce lee in films after. You can watch many of the older films many times. You know how old they are but they were new and fresh at the time. Great memories and cool sound track too. YOu can find it on the Bjack..com..if interestd. They had attempted at REMAKE of this movie but things fell through. Im not sure why. Best of luck and hoping it does get a much deserved remake. Keep the peace!!

Tom Laughlin is still trying to raise money to shoot yet another sequel, according to his website. I sense that it's not going too well, though- he's been trying to attract investors for quite a while now. An actual re-make/reboot of Billy Jack would be great, but I don't think that's quite what he has in mind, unfortunately. And for a re-make to really work, he'd be best off entrusting it to another director, which is probably something he'd be unwilling to do.

A guy named Tom W. use to live here always pulled his shoes off and was ready to kick a-- He thought he was Billy Jack.This poor guy that looked like benard used to work for him.He would slap him around just kidding.He was really a good person he is gone to the promiseland now .Thank's for the entertantment Tom.

I hope he's not kicking ass while in heaven- they may frown on that sort of thing up there.

I wouldn't take the time to remove my boots in a street fight.... but it does make a big difference in power and placement removing them. If you look at the movie carefully, he didn't just remove his boots to fight: he lead his enemies around to a position where he could use his advantage the most.
Given a choice, I would fight barefoot, but not in a rocky glass ridden parking lot.

some of the worst scenes ever, a product of the age I guess. Now, someone would just shoot him instead of charging him one at a time...

But at the time, in the early 70s when I saw the movie the first time, it really worked. Keep in mind that Billy Jack pre-dates all the martial arts films, and that Han Bong-Soo was a Hapkido expert, not a movie fight choreographer. I don't even think that movie "fight choreographer" was a job that existed at the time.
But yeah, if the bad guys had rushed him all at once, which would have been the sensible and realistic thing to do, it would have been a much different scene.
jordanthecat 2 years ago
I always figured they didn't rush because they were scared. I've seen guys fall over eachother and lock up, even if numbers were on their side, simply because they didn't have experience of fighting as a unit. They didn't know how to rush at once without getting in eachother's way.
That's how i figure it, at least.
nate556 2 years ago 2
This is so much better than the way this scene appeared in the movie. I can't understand why they left so much martial arts action on the cutting room floor. I guess they wanted to make room for more crappy folk songs and hippie "psychodramas". Bong Soo Han was great though, he should have been the next Bruce Lee. I think having his name attached to the Billy Jack movies killed his career.
TheKrottyKid 2 years ago
Han became famous in the United States due to his work in the Billy Jack films. Those movies also introduced Hapkido to the West.
But you're right- there is so much feeble guitar playing and other stuff that should have been edited out of the movie, and so much of Han Bong-Soo's work that could have been added.
jordanthecat 2 years ago
I actually kind of like the Hippy Love and Peace with Sunshine and Puppies and Flowers and Kittens and Happy Happy Joy Joy trees.
This dual-nature of the film is one of the things I always liked about it. Sure, it would be nice if the world was perfect, but there is no place like that, so the world needs men like Billy Jack.
the world needs both. Men like Billy Jack, and the people at the school to give them something worth fighting for.
nate556 2 years ago
Luved his movies. I wish he would have done more. He was such a wasted talent, its a shame he didn't go on to do more Billy Jack movies sequels. He did make a western in the early 70s called the "Last Gunfighter" I think. It wasn't bad.

in true multiple attack, the attackers charge at the same time. i've witnessed this, it involved only girls.

I enjoyed that particular fight scene in the movie. I liked the part where he kicks the fat guy on the face now thats confidence I'm gonna kick you on that side of the face I like that. I myself fought 3 guys when I was 13 it was the first time I felt confidence in my martial arts ability. Haven't been jumped like that since then hope it never happens either.

I was last in a fight in grade 3, over 40 years ago. I also hope it never happens again. I like to think that I have retired from fighting undefeated.
The fight in the park, preceded by the ice cream shop scene, was probably the best sequence in the Billy Jack movie.
I saw it in the theatre, and when Billy drove up and stepped out of his Jeep in the background, we all cheered.
jordanthecat 2 years ago
The whole park fight scene was done by a Korean Martial Arts Master Bong so Han. Look close and you can see his face. Billy Jack is a fraud...

Tom Laughlin gives full acknowledgement to Bong Soo Han, as he came to be known in the US, in the movie's credits. The Billy Jack movie served as an introduction of Hapkido to the west. Han had a co-starring role in the Billy Jack sequel.
Billy Jack, and Tom Laughlin, are absolutely genuine- a fraud by no means. It was the Billy Jack movies which introduced and elevated the prominence of hapkido, and of Han Bong Soo.

I studied under Lloyd Garcia who told me the were both students of Soo. Im not sure of the details, but Lloyd was a a friend, an honest man and world champion in 3 weight classes. Told me what he was teaching me was the same art from the movie born losers. Hap-Ki-do(Korean) translated means the same thing in English as Jujitsu-Japan/. Google it!

OMG, I love this vid...I am going to order the box set too..only, not the autographed copy..TOM is asking way too much money for stuff that he autographs. That is sooo not cool to treat his fans like that. But I am a Billy Jack fan, so I wil order the reasonably priced box set. Thanks for posting this.

Wow! I'll bet he could really have done that if he were fighting 15 guys. I wonder why they only attacked 1 at a time? Very realistic!
jeetman100 3 years ago
I've watched enough martial arts movies to know that crowds of bad guys always patiently wait to attack one at a time. Some of them even just stand around, waiting to be kicked. I don't know why crowds of bad guys continue to use this feeble strategy, but according to my movie research, they do.
jordanthecat 3 years ago
The Steven Seagal movie "Marked for death" shows why multiple attackers are bad, haha... they get iin each other's way... atleast in a movie perspective. Working Security I have once had a confrontation with three guys, and for some reason two just stood around while one attacked... they must have watched Billy Jack.

Many thanks for the kind words, pzs441969! I'm just hoping that if Tom Laughlin ever sees this video, he'll approve also.
Otherwise, just for the hell of it, he might take his right foot...

Selecting, trimming & organizing these silent clips, then finding and adding all the sound effects was a lot of work but a labour of love because, like you, I have many fond memories of Billy Jack. It was powerful stuff when we first watched it at the local theatre.

After watching this movie as a kid, I took up Hapkido and rode throughout the west killing Indians, until someone explained the point of the movie to me, which I apparently missed. After that my son married a girl from Ottawa tribe and made piece. Now I'm paying off my reparations in babysitting. (say, wasn't there a Chief named "Sitting Baby" at Wounded Knee?) In any event, I got a kick out of the video. (heh heh, see what I did there? kick. get it?)
