Bright Wall/Dark Room’s review published on Letterboxd:
"Billy Jack is the type of cultural artifact that’s so strange, and so precisely of its time, you would be justified if you finished reading this and decided the movie simply didn’t exist. Describing it inspires a self-canceling combination of genres: It’s a hippie action movie, a martial arts racial-reconciliation melodrama, and an improv comedy-western about the horrors of Manifest Destiny. Billy Jack baffles. Its sudden shifts between pro-peace speechifying and glory-making gunfights twist the viewer’s mind into a pretzel, and its teary sentimentality waters it to mush. Billy Jack grabs you by the collar simply to feel the fabric, then tosses you down only to offer a helping hand getting up."
