this be one of the bad film i really enjoy . it be not painful or boring to watch but instead fall into the hokey and stupid category that make it great party film . like plan 9 from out space and this movie try so hard to say something and come off a a completely laughable fiasco . the over the top completely serious aspect of the movie raise it to this level . the movie the apple also rise ( . ) to this level of dreck a well . our hero ( . ) be billy jack and a half breed american indian who teach peace through the repeat use of bone crunch violence . it remind me of the funny segment from the movie uhf when they advertise the fake movie gandhi 2 and feature gandhi kick butt and drive a sport car . it so ridiculous and it great . amazingly enough and this be the third billy jack film ( after the born loser and billy jack ) and the first to bomb at the box office . in fact and the also deadly serious billy jack ( 1971 ) make zillion at the box office not because it be a good film ( though it wasn not quite as bad a the trial of billy jack ) but because it be a perfect film for the time . the hippy ish aspect of the movie work in 1971 but by 1974 and it be reduce to a cliché . a moment not to be miss in this movie the little boy with a mechanical claw for a hand be gun down by the evil soldier a the boy try to rescue his pet bunny . mean to be poignant and it just hysterically funny instead . fyi this film have the dubious distinction of be select for inclusion in the book the fifty bad movie of all time by harry medved . i heartily agree with the choice but must admit it get a 2 because it so darn funny and it doesn not even intend to be .
