Billy Jack is a half breed Cherokee Indian and former Green Beret. Billy Jack is a master of Hapkido. Billy Jack is pretty much pissed off all the time, but finds solace hanging with the bleeding heart liberal hippie kids at the Freedom School run by his homely girlfriend Jean. Billy Jack tries to control his temper...............but sometimes.......just sometimes..........the bigoted rednecks just make him go BERSERK! That's when Billy Jack puts on a display of ass kickery that predates the martial arts mastery Bruce Lee would make famous a few years later in American films. Pull off your boots and bare witness to the Jack attack! Meet Billy Jack!
Good ole American ass kickin in the name of hippie freedom!
agreed Custard, but the interesting thing is that this was one of the first attempts to portray martial arts in an American film. It was a novel idea at the time.
ReplyDeleteI was just randomly watching this, and I have to say that it doesn't really matter if people are seemingly just standing around. At 3:46, he seriously kicks that dude SQUARE IN HIS FACE. Like, right in the nose, in slow-motion. Awesome.
