Trivia:
Husband and wife Tom Laughlin and Delores Taylor kept the mail-bags brought into the Senate at the finale as souvenirs. They used them for duffel-bags on skiing trips. The bags were confiscated by airport officials when they protested that the bags were property of the U.S. Mail (the bags were created for the sole purpose of the film). more

Too much pontificating and political signifying ruin the last film in the series., 17 June 2004
5/10
Author: Captain_Couth (sirjosephu@aol.com) from Sacramento, CA

Billy Jack Goes to Washington (1977) was the last film in the Billy Jack

series. Unlike the other films where the political posturing was kept in check, Tom Laughlin goes full tilt boogie into the subject. In this virtual remake of the classic Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, Billy Jack is

appointed the vacant senatorial seat after receiving a full pardon from the

Governor. Why did they give this man a political platform I'll never know. But they did and he tries to do his best to let the whole nation know that

he's the last and only honest man in Washington D.C.

Why do we watch Billy Jack movies. Most of you will answer because he

kicks butt and takes names. But the latter films focus more on his "acting" and the metaphysical being of one's self. If you watch Billy Jack for these

reasons raise your hand. That's what I thought.

For die-hard Billy Jack fans, others beware!

Recommended.
