It's amazing what you find just clicking on various links in the IMDb (www.imdb.com): Tom Laughin, AKA "Billy Jack," star and director of the "Billy Jack" movies and such great social commentaries as "The Master Gunfighter" (braaaaakkkkkkkkkk)--and also wrote all these movies under a number of psuedonyms--also directed other films under aliases.
Remember one of the final MST3K crudfests, "Touch of Satan"? He did that to us.
It's fun! Pick a name or title, jam it in the search engine, and just pick another name and click the link. Some links go absolutely nowhere, others will surprise you.
It's like playing "Seven Degrees of Kevin Bacon" but it smells like boot feet.

Original Billy Jack movie was called BORN LOSERS. A gang of bikers terrorize a bunch of women and Billy Jack gets involved some how.
"Born Losers" can actually be an okay movie - especially if you suffered through "Billy Jack" first. It does have one memorable moment, when Billy Jack, rifle in hand, is finally facing down the title motorcycle gang, and the head bad guy advances on him, giving him the standard "You're the good guy, you're not gonna shoot me" bit. Billy Jack defies Movie Law and blows his brains out.
Your right, BORN LOSERS is good B viewing. It has its moments.
