Baby Boomer Style Files – Billy Jack

Remember Billy Jack?

Although marketed as an action film, the story focuses on the plight of Native Americans during the civil rights movement. It attained a cult following among younger audiences due to its youth-oriented, anti-authority message combined with the then-novel martial arts fight scenes. The centerpiece of the film features Billy Jack, enraged over the mistreatment of his Indian friends, fighting a gang of racist thugs using his hapkido karate-kicking technique.

Remember Bernard Poser and his gang and Billy’s girlfriend Jean?

How about “One Tin Soldier?”
