Lame, self indulgent when released in 1971, but even more so now.

Reviews for Billy Jack
A little heavy-handed with the message, this film still holds onto the brutality of the revenge style established in Born Losers.
You feel guilty liking this manipulative pulp, but it somehow grabs and holds onto you.
