Billy Jack (1971)
Doesn't hold up over time
15 February 2023 - 1 out of 1 users found this review helpful.
When Billy Jack came out I was in high school and I thought it was the greatest movie ever made. I saw it with friends three times in the theater I liked it so much. Now that I'm much older I watched it again about a year ago and thought it was the stupidest movie ever made. So preachy and corny it doesn't hold up over time like other movies around that time such as Cool Hand Luke, Bonnie and Clyde and The Godfather.
Billy Jack is stuck in the anti-establishment hippiness weirdness that was popular at the time but now seems like childish wishful thinking.
The only enjoyable scenes are when Billy Jack is kicking ass with his karate style fighting.
