Below is an excerpt from www.billyjack.com I am a fan of the cheesy Billy Jack series, but this is too much.
New 2007 Billy Jack Film
In a unique film genre never before seen
Billy Jack for President:
The formation of a new Third Party
A new Moral and Political Revolution -
A new Exit Strategy that will end the war and stabilize Iraq without genocide and safely replace our troops immediately, and allow only the people – not the White House or Congress – to declare and end wars.
Plus! 4 other major Themes woven in
4 major heart-breaking Love Stories:
In addition to the major political theme, there are four other separate and totally different themes in the new Billy Jack film, woven into four major love stories just like in the original Billy Jack.
A New Genre of Film combining fiction film with cinema verite, reality film, documentary and computer graphics, making it one of the more unusual Feature Films yet made.
For example ... Remember Forrest Gump talking with President Kennedy? Imagine Billy Jack in a live heated debate with the real George Bush over whether Bush lied – and continues to lie – to sell the Iraq War.
Because America is "the only Nation founded for a Moral Purpose ... the rights of every man, everywhere," the film shows Mainstream America how to restore America to It's Moral Purpose and make it once again the great moral superpower of the world ... the "shining city on the hill." The new Billy Jack sequel will be the first film to launch a multi-faceted Political, Sexual, Spiritual and Psychological Revolution.
Because ideas that come loaded in an emotional bullet stick long after the film ends, these themes will be loaded in four emotional bullets – four exciting, highly charged love stories, with a unique focus on the difference between Sex, Eros, Love and Violence in human relationships, especially teenagers, including the problem of abortion and 20% of our teenagers being "cutters" – attempted suicide.
"Sadly, sex does not provide the unmitigated joy the pornographers promised. It would be so much easier if it did."
Billy Jack for President will not be a documentary
It will be light years away from being a Fahrenheit 9/11.
Just as in the original Billy Jack, Billy Jack for President will be a non-stop powerful melodrama. Billy Jack and Jean will be "Obewon Kenobis" passing down their wisdom and mantle to a younger Billy Jack and Jean, giving today's idealistic rebels and outcasts powerful tools they will need in the struggle against all of the enormous and unprecedented pressures assaulting young people today.
Like the original Billy Jack, it will be an uplifting, ten-handkerchief tearjerker.
Today, 35 years later, we get a constant stream of emails and letters thanking the Laughlins for Billy Jack, telling them how – 35 years ago – Billy Jack changed their life, and how it still influences them today.
With the grace of God, this new Billy Jack for President will do the same.
Oh, man. Can the world handle this?
I thought you might be teasing. I'm not sure what is scarier: that you weren't teasing or that you were browsing that site to FIND that tidbit of movie trivia. :twirl:
You got me to click the link, though, and add to that moron's site stats.... :hatred:
Talk about setting yourself up for disaster . . . . ONE MOVIE is gonna bring about world peace? Will it cure the common cold too? Come on, Billy Jack, balance the budget while you're at it!
What I REALLY wanna know is: Does he get to use his Kung Fu on George W.? THAT would be cool. :twirl:
Hah, and Ken Begg thought that he was done reviewing Billy Jack films! I'm pretty sure that the Jabootu bylaws mandate Ken reviewing it and I wonder if this one will finally completely destroy Ken's Reagan-loving soul. Without a doubt, the film will be filled with crazy stuff that could only come from the unshackled imagination of someone like Tom Laughlin. If you've ever seen "The Trial of Billy Jack," I think you'll understand what I mean.
Since "Trial" was so long at a time when many other features were 90 minutes, I wonder if this new one will be 6 hours.
First the Spice Girls are reuniting and now this?! It really is the apocalypse!!
The worst part is, Tom Laughlin is now old and fat, has white hair, and is suffering from cancer. I don't know how this movie will ever get off the ground. I suspect he will never be able to raise enough money to finish it.
Is Delores Taylor still around? She'd make a really happening 'First Old Lady'.
Would they replace 'Hail to the Chief' with 'One Tin Soldier'?

RC, I think Billy Jack would have to settle for kicking W. in the shins and hoping his walker doesn't fall out from under him during the attempt.
