Billy Jack Goes to Washington

Tom Laughlin was one for the books. He was a very talented man. (I remember when he ran for president.) There has never been another filmmaker like him. I wish he would have teamed up with a strong producer. Someone who would have been able to keep his ego in check and kept Laughlin's eye on the ball. "Billy Jack Goes to Washington" could have been so much better. It's almost good. It is a great looking movie with a very strong cast. It just seems to go on forever. There is dopey action scene that should have been left out. The filibuster scene is supposed wear out Billy Jack but it ends up wearing out the audience. What a shame. Hidden inside "Billy Jack Goes to Washington" there's actually a pretty good movie. On the plus side, "Billy Jack Goes to Washington" is a lot better than "The Trial of Billy Jack".
