Interesting that the plot of the fifth unfinished film, The Return of Billy Jack, (en.m.wikipedia.org) dealt with child pornography. Production was stopped and funds were depleted when a break-away bottle 'malfunctioned' and injured Tom Laughlin. 🤔 Almost sounds like someone didn't want that movie made and released.
Watch 30min and see what hasnt changed since 1974
Very little has changed, some has been 'rebranded' under different terminology.
Symbolism was also as alive and well back then as it is today, seeing as how the band that did One Tin Soldier was called 'Coven' with a lead singer named 'Jinx'.
Concepts we're still seeing today was put well by:
Roger Ebert, in his review of the film, wrote, "Billy Jack seems to be saying that a gun is better than a constitution in the enforcement of justice. Is democracy totally obsolete, then? Is our only hope that the good fascists defeat the bad fascists?"
The more things change, the more they stay the same.....
