  • Love it!!!

  • Love it.Loved it as a kid and love it now

  • Some people think this is bad acting.....it's one of the most realistic scenes ever....and it's a lot of fun to watch.....kick-ass Green Berets

  • jeez and some of those guys just wanted his autograph.

  • The state of Arizona has a much more admired reputation in 2011 than back in 1971 when Hollywood evidently considered Arizona a backwater, red-neck, hick town. The wannabe cowboys in the movie could only be tough when ganging up in a large number on just one man. Still, I admire the director's realism. For all of Billy Jack's fighting prowess, no such mortal man could cope with so many enemies. In the end he was overwhelmed by sheer numbers and had to be rescued by a sheriff.

  • Few Americans knew that Billy Jack was employing Korean Hapkido at the time. Most assumed it was karate. The Billy Jack movies didn't go out of their way to advertise the name of Hapkido. Hapkido originated from Korean Tang Soo Do and Japanese Daito-ryu aiki-jujutsu. Hence you see Billy Jack's high arcing and sweeping kicks, edge-of-hand blows, and arm joint locks, twists, and take-downs. Karate prefers fist blows with few knife hand strikes.

  • this is the original rambo, and the guy chuck norris copied and thats the fact. even though acting stunk and it's the same old story thisis the guy stallon and norris wanted to be the ywatched this guy when they were kids

  • Stupid, unrealistic fight scenes...with a message?

  • @brucedavis76 I had the same thought. Terrible acting, cinematography, and plot.

  • @eddiequist I'm telling you it wasn't. The Vietnam War (and it's veterans) was the inspiration for First Blood.
