Summary: Born Losers; The Beginning of a Legend
Review: "Born Losers" began the Billy Jack legend. To most of us, it seemed like a prequel....we didn't see it until after Billy Jack became such a huge hit. "Losers" set box office records for the genre at the time, and was a star vehicle for supporting players like Robert Tessier (who later appeared in numerous movies and TV shows-- i.e. The Deep, Hard Times, and The Longest Yard) and Jeremy Slate (Lawnmower Man, Hells Angels '69, Mr. Horn, and Summer of Fear). "Losers" showcases Mr. Laughlin as the man minding his own business who is forced out of honor to protect himself and others from marauding bikers. As far as I'm concerned, it's the first great biker movie. Movie legend Jane Russell has an appearance (not exactly Oscar quality), but it is Tom Laughlin's power as the enigmatic hero that makes this movie legendary. Some consider "Born Losers" the best of the Billy Jack series. Me, I like them all. And...... check out the Billy Jack website, it's a must for the real fan of Billy Jack.

Summary: A remarkable direction
Review: After "The Wild One", this might be one of the masterpieces of motorcycle-gangs films. A well elaborated production and, above all, a remarkable work of the Director. A must see by all means.

Review: and I believe the first. Poor script, poor acting, poor camera work but God, what a great movie this is. Buy it. Nothing special about the DVD but the quality is okay. I was disappointed that there was no widescreen version.

Summary: BORN LOSERS/ BEST BIKER FILM EVER!
Review: Awesome biker film! Stars the legendary Tom Laughlin as Billy Jack in this violent tale of bikers terrorizing a small California beach town and raping college chicks at the bikers clubhouse( looks like it was an old spanish mission)It starts off with the charactor Billy Jack who is a green beret/ former rodeo rider/ rancher and who has just returned home from the war. He lives alone in a trailer in the nearby hills and now unemployed comes to town to discuss bank buisness/work Soon after Billy Jack becomes a one -man fighting machine who has to battle it out with the bikers for the saftey of the town and Vicky Barrington, a rich, spoiled, but spunky college chick who falls into the hands of the bikers!(the townspeople and police in the town are cowardly fools, with the exception of Deputy Fred) Excellent opening scenes with the Billy Jack theme playing in the background as we see Billy Jack surveying the beauty of the California mountains and wildlife, and then riding down to the town(Big Rock) in his jeep. Very cool scenes with Vicky riding down the Pacific Coast Highway on her " bike"(Big Sur area) decked out in a revealing white bikini, go go boots and funky shades!

Violent scenes with an early road rage incident when a motorist bumps the gang leaders bike and it turns nasty! The hostage scenes at the bikers clubhouse and the very cool showdown with Gangrene and the other bikers at a Mobil gas station!

Summary: A Camp Classic
Review: I felt compelled to add a few thoughts to the feverish customer reviews already written. I give this movie a five-star rating, but for very different reasons than my fellow reviewers. Born Losers is a camp classic, a movie that's so bad, it's good. It has practically no production values, terrible acting, and a script that may have taken less time to write than the total running time of the movie. But compelling - man, is this movie compelling.

Summary: Good movie
Review: My review is about the review done by James A. Reynolds III. All of his reviews are worthless. He never gives insight about the game, movie, book, etc. He just spews the same Taliban-like crap from right-wing conservative morons. Leave your political views out of the reviews. If you want to continue to make these stupid remarks, go to Foxnews.com. Fox news - they lie & you comply.
