Bad news: Born Losers is the most aptly titled movie of all time. Good news: It's wonderfully enjoyable. It is a movie that, if made 5 years later, would be much more violent and graphic. It was made right before Hollywood relaxed any attempts to keep bad language and graphic violence out of its movies. That makes it funny and worth watching. The acting, apart from Jeremy Slate, was well, not acting. Tom Laughlin, like David Carradine in Kung Fu, created a character committed to peace, but couldn't avoid a fight to save his life. Jane Russell was wonderfully camp and should never have shown up. What makes this so much more watchable than Billy Jack is it has few overt references to political correctness and does not try to comment on all of societies ills. It is vintage mid sixties Hollywood with no substance or redeeming social value. Isn't that the Supreme Courts definition of obscenity?. watch it.
