For regular readers of this blog, they'll know I'm a huge fan of the classic action film, Billy Jack. A lot of the DNA that makes up the Quinn Colson saga comes from 1970s action flicks and Billy Jack more than most. The set up is pretty simple: Ex Green Beret and Hapkido master Billy Jack defends a Native American school from a ruthless group of small town folk who see the counterculture movement as a threat. In Billy Jack's key scene -- where a group of students are humiliated at an ice cream parlor (trust me, it's cool) -- we hear that iconic line: "Sometimes I just go berserk!" I spent the morning checking out what star Tom Laughlin has been up to these days at the Billy Jack site. It seems Tom Laughlin -- who is now 81 -- thinks a new Billy Jack film could happen soon. I'd definitely be in line. But until then, we still have the classic. Long Live Billy Jack!
