Watch: Billy Jack 1971 123movies, Full Movie Online – Billy Jack is a half-Indian/half-white ex-Green Beret who is being drawn more and more toward his Indian side. He hates violence, but can’t get away from it in the white man’s world. Pitting the good guys, the students of the peace-loving free-arts school in the desert vs. the Democratic bad guys in the near-by town, the movie plays definitive late-60s themes/messages: anti-establishment, make love not war, the senseless slaughter of God’s creatures, the rape of society (figuratively and literally), two-sided justice, racial segregation and prejudices..
Plot: Ex-Green Beret hapkido expert saves wild horses from being slaughtered for dog food and helps protect a desert “freedom school” for runaways.

A True Classic
Well, Billy Jack was not at all what I had expected. I had heard of the movie and thought it was some kind of kung fu cult movie, but really didn’t know what to expect. The movie blew me away! OK, so the acting can be a little cheesy at times, but how many movies from that era are not cheesy in some way? At any rate, Billy Jack is a true American hero. What I love about the movie is that it is focused on very important subject matter, but portrays it in such an unconventional and unique way. Billy Jack is a character of all characters. His mannerisms are hysterical. He shows such intense frustration when he knows he’s going to have to kick someone’s butt, and that makes his character what it is. He’s an ex-green beret and he can surely kick some serious bad guy butt if he has to, but he is also a man with a big heart and his life’s mission is to protect the native Americans and hippies who are either too weak or too peaceful to fight for themselves. And he loves Jean, loves her with all his heart and knows that he is the only one who can protect her and protect what is important to her. His character is portrayed in such a way that you can see the internal struggle in his eyes and hear it in his voice when he is faced with a situation where some biggot butts need kickin’. Billy Jack is a true classic and a movie that will stick with me for the rest of my life.
White Man Plays Indian. White Man Lectures Indians.
That’s about the whole film. Playing Indian by a pale blue eyed Great White Savior. Who thinks looking like an Indian…means wearing a cowboy hat!Because the Great White Savior didn’t beat up the bad guys. His obvious two shades darker and a whole foot shorter Asian stunt double did.
So ask yourself why did so many white hippies love this? They wanted to play Indian too. They wanted to be the Great White Savior and have Natives tell them, “Yes, White Man. Whatever you say, White Man.”
If you don’t see the racism in this fantasy, that it’s mostly different from redneck racism in having a different violent target, you need to take a look in the mirror.
And don’t get me started on the awful soundtrack. Couldn’t they have hired a Native band like XIT or Redbone? Nope. We get an irritating white Canadian folk group instead.
As for Tom Laughlin, his career bombed after this. He turned to conspiracy theories and selling New Age ceremonies that were phony imitations of Native beliefs, just like his films.
He and his films are examples of everything wrong with hippie counterculture. Hippies didn’t stop Vietnam or segregation. They’d rather get high and play at being rebels.
