Born Losers

As long as we recognize Lucas is washed up and most TV sucks, we'll all get along fine.

Synopsis:

Billy Jack makes his feature film debut.

Review:

Some bikers roll through a town and some dick runs into one of their vehicles. The bikers are willing to let this go until the dick in the car decides to provoke them further verbally. Because making a getaway at a packed red light is easy. The motorcycle gang in question, the Born Losers, then proceeds to rape, pillage, and plunder their way all over town. I emphasize rape. There's more rape going on here than your average college campus. Remarkable what a PG rating got you back in the day.

As for Billy Jack, his ass kickings are restricted to a few fight scenes. In fact, he gets flat out brained unconscious in one. The rest of his camera time consists of bad Saturday morning special dialog with a soon-to-be rapee. Before telling people he was going to kick them in the face, he was telling them he was going to shoot them right between the eyes. The moral of the story, as far as I can tell, is don't give a half-Indian ex-Green Beret a second chance if you catch him off guard with your tire iron. Kill him or he'll come back to beat your ass.

Yeah. Same character, same actor. Predates Billy Jack.

I don't remember the soldier-trying-to-find-peace-with-hippies being a former murderous raping motorcycle gang member.

Been at least a decade since I watched BJ, though.

Billy's not part of the gang. He mainly runs from them and occasionally confronts them.
