In this film Billy Jack is appointed a Senator, and despite all that we've seen in the past films where he raves against the Government, he goes to Washington and discovers that politicians are crooked.(?????) There is only one real action scene where Jean is being accosted by some knife wielding black dudes and Billy shows up just in time to kick the crap out of them. Apparently Jean has had a miraculous recovery from her gunshot wounds in the previous film as she also removes her boots and helps by leaping through the air to land a wicked kick to one of her aggressors. Billy does do a lot of yelling in the Senate chambers, and finally passes out to the relief of the viewer, me. There are some notable actors in here: Sam Wanamaker, E.G. Marshal, and Luci Anaz; but even they can't save this film. All four of the Billy Jack films, the first two very good, seem to have a disjointed story line. It was as if Tom Laughlin couldn't keep it all straight. Too bad as there was a lot of potential in this film that was never realized.
