Ughh...where do I start?

This movie is bad, really bad! Wicked bad. Watching it is akin to slowing down to see a really bad traffic accident.

Could Billy Jack possibly be any more full of himself? I don't see how.

Could Jean possibly be any more naïve?

Could Sheriff Cole possibly be any more incompetent? He's not only incompetent, he's also an enabler OF BOTH SIDES!!!!

Could Barbara possibly be any more obnoxious?

I swear these people all deserve each other.

Of all the characters in the movie, probably the most normal person was the deputy, Mike.

Yeah, he went along with Posner...probably because his paycheck depended on it.

Yeah, he did beat the daylights out of his daughter. Most fathers probably would have done the same thing if their daughter had pulled a stunt like that, too.

The hapkido scenes were neat. Other than that, the movie is an epic fail.

Well........that and the lady with the nice rack (see the uncut version).

Mrs. Leverlilly: But that's a priceless Steinway!

Clouseau: Not anymore!

the fight scenes where awesome for that day and age

(until dvd ruined the park fight) the park fight was one of the best fights ever

What's wrong with the park fight on DVD?

This is a THREADED message board. Please reply to the proper post!

Deputy Mike a decent, normal guy?? Hmmmm....I think not. Any guy who becomes unpredictably angry, beats the snot out of his kid on a regular, ongoing basis, and then tries to kill his daughter in the end, as well as being abusive to the Native Americans, most notably, Martin, the Native American guy who befriends Barbara (Deputy Mike more than likely had a lot to do with why Martin was gunned down in the end, and that his body was found floating in the lake.), doesn't seem like such a normal guy to me.

Having said all of the above, I think that Cole was the most decent and normal guy in the whole film.

This:

is something that I seriously take issue with, dallasjones2003. Maybe some fathers would beat up on their daughters if they pulled a stunt like that, but not all. It depends on the daughter's overall familial upbringing, the socioeconominc status, culture and ethnic background, and how educated the parents really are.
