The half-breed Billy Jack lives in an Indian reservation protecting the Indians, the stallions and the students of the Freedom School, a peaceful art school run by Jean Roberts and where the students can choose their own destiny.

For those of you who might be wondering Billy Jack is the second movie in a series of five movies that where released between 1967 and 1985 directed by and starring Tom Laughlin. It should be noted that the fifth movie in the series The Return of Billy Jack has never been released.
Billy Jack is one of those movies that if you haven’t seen it there is a chance that you have seen it referenced in other movies, such as the 1995 movie Major Payne or the 2008 movie Yes Man.

As a movie there are some things that cause Billy Jack to come across as being a very dated movie most notably the pacing of some of the action sequences and that some of the blood effects used looked as if they where achieved through the use of paint. However, the movie does have something important to say about respect and how we treat each other.
Delores Taylor was brilliant as Jean Roberts, While Tom Laughlin managed to transform Billy Jack into an iconic character. I thought that the singalong during the scene where the search of the school was hilarious, I also loved the Street Theatre scene. The Corvette that was driven into the lake, it did not deserve such a cruel to happen to it. The only thing that the Corvette was guilty of was having a bad owner.
