I always have liked this movie. Very political and very late 60s early 70s. One of the most dated movies out there but I still like it for nostalgic reasons.

Actually, there were several Billy Jack movies, though I haven't seen any of them.
IIRC, the first one was called "The Born Losers" in the late 60's, and the second was "Billy Jack". Then there was "The Trial of Billy Jack", and there was even "Billy Jack Goes To Washington" in the late 70's.
I think he did a non-Billy Jack movie called "The Last Gunfighter", or something similar to that title.

Don't know what happened. Looks like he's still alive. He was the writer, producer, director, and, star of Billy Jack and other works as well.
