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.

Parent Guide

A man hits his teenage (she looks about 6-8 weeks) pregnant daughter with a roundhouse fist to the jaw. In the next scene she is shown in hospital with black eyes and facial bruises from the beating.

A man attacks three men using hapkido foot and hand strikes, knocking two down and the third through a plate glass window.

There is an extended fight scene in which a man is attacked by about a dozen men. He is an accomplished hapkido fighter and holds his own for some time with many hapkido defensive moves and strikes. He knocks down a number of his attackers and smashes one man's face into a masonry railing. He is finally subdued by being hit over the head with a stick of wood and is then held from behind and beaten with fists until bloody and unconscious.

A woman is held at gunpoint, tied naked and raped. She screams and struggles during the rape.

A man is held by two others and a third holds a short pipe section to his throat while he is verbally abused and threatened. He is then struck in the abdomen with the pipe.

Two men chase another man, first in cars, then on foot, and they shoot at each other with rifles. A short time later we see the man's body floating in the lake with a bullet wound in the head and blood in the water. In the next scene his body on a gurney is rolled into an ambulance; the sheet covering his head is very bloody. We are later told he was shot four times in the head.

A man advances menacingly toward another man. The first man shoots the attacker in the abdomen but is then disarmed with a hapkido foot strike and then killed with a hand strike to the throat. In a later scene, the abdomen wound has bled through the man's clothing and his jacket has a saucer-sized stain of red blood.

A man shoots repeatedly at another man with a pistol, but is then shot in the forehead with a rifle, showing a small spot of blood.

There is an extended scene in which a man and a girl are barricaded in a building and a small army of police officers shoot at them while the man shoots back. One policeman is shot, but no blood is seen. Subsequently we learn that the girl has been hit in the leg, and blood is seen on her jeans.
