    I remember going to the drive in theater with my parents to see Billy Jack movies in the 70s. Good times.

    Can't recall the name of the comedienne, but part of her routine talking about Steven Segal "not since Billy Jack has an actor displayed this kind of versatility."

    Oh Hell yeah.

    A true "Gun Guy" (or gal) should have familiarity and a modicum of proficiency with most all firearms platforms.

    Love me some Billy Jack!

    Met him, and knew his daughter in high school. Tried to make a comeback in the 80s, but production on “Billy Jack Strikes Back” was suspended when he got a concussion on set during a bar fight scene. Apparently he got hit with a non-prop bottle!

    Billy Jack was a MUST SEE back in the day.
    The obedient always think of themselves as virtuous rather than the cowards they really are.

    Have the four film, DVD box set. Watching them now, they are sorta terrible "race baiting" films. Bong Soo Han was the guy doing the actual martial arts in Billy Jack. It was a start and pretty good for a early US "martial arts film" given that the TV show "Kung Fu" hadn't even happened yet.

    Actually probably a better movie although not as iconic.

    IIRC that helped start Hapkido training here in the states. It might have existed before but Bong Soo Han really kicked it off (pun intended).

    Okay Steyr, you're really into that stuff......what do you think of Hapkido as a viable self-defense art for street use? That's what Chuck Norris trained in right? From my understanding it's a little less "competition-oriented" like Tae Kwon Do and more practical (?).
