Billy Jack was on TV just the other day and as much I was entranced by it back when it was released, I found it pretty much unwatchable. But I do remember walking into the theater back in the day when theaters and screens were big and they let you in before the previous showing ended and I got to watch the end starting where Billy and the girl are in a shed during the final shoot out and there was something about the sound and the image that had such a sense of bigger than life immediacy.
I love Billy Jack. But don't overthink it. The film reflected a profound moment of history so clearly and so completely that it felt to a generation like listening to one's own thoughts. That doesn't happen too often. But when it does, it's impossible to replicate. No matter how much money you raise.

Just got back from the ice cream store in Prescott, AZ. Pretty much an unchanged location after all these years.
