Summary: How to overstate EVERYTHING for 3 hours...
Review: The Trial of BJ is possibly the most pretentious, preachy and embarrassingly icky film I've ever endured. I admit I kind of liked Billy Jack (the movie), but this unfathomably long egomaniacle kick to the teeth is not worth wasting the media on which it is saved.This is a review of the VHS version.

Summary: Good film continuing the saga of Billy Jack
Review: This is a very good follow up to the excellent second BJ film, Billy Jack. Born Losers was actually the first BJ film. Laughlin is brilliant as Billy once more here and his real life wife, Delores, excellent as Jean again. As for some of the rest of the cast well their daughter Theresa is back as student Carol, now more of a young lady than little girl as in the previous film, and she's appealing in her many scenes. The actors playing bad guys this time around are talented-enough actors but their characters are not particularly distinct as the bad guys in films one and two were. The action scenes are done well enough but there's no equal to that park brawl, in film 2, anywhere in this picture. But on the big plus side we learn lots more about BillyJack and his past in Vietnam. Missing now but whom were in film 2 are cutiepie Julie Webb as Barbara, whom Jean obtained legal custody of at the end of film 2. I think we are supposed to believe Barbara is somewhere in that melange of students we now see but her presence is something we sourly miss. Also, Clark Howat as the Sheriff, the one here in this film is not anywhere near as interesting a fellow. Plus, Bert Freed as rich bigot Stewart Posner. Here his character is replaced by that of his less interesting (but way wealthier!) brother.

Summary: Long and Pretentious Movie
Review: Unlike the first movie, which at times preachy, but still entertaining, this movie by Tom Laughlin and Delores Taylor is very long and very pretentious. The movie starts out long by tracking the trial of Billy Jack (hence the name)that does not resemble much of a real trial at all. It is only a format for Tom Laughlin to spot many of his esoteric views. The next chapter of the film is notoriously long as the character Jean (Taylor) continnues to recounts events from a hospital bed about the kids at the "school" and the local evil rich people. This movie is just too preachy and it never bothers to examine some of their (school) prejudges and uncivil behavior. The only redeeming value is that Tom Laughlin still brings out a "Billy Jack" persona. Tom is Billy jack, and is convincing in the role he was made for. The fght scenes, with Hapikido Master Bong Soo Han are, for its time, very good and still worth watching.
