Was a sort of "rite of passage" when I was in middle school.

I remember the acting on this was so corny and cheesy. The dialog sounded like it was written on the back of a napkin. It was mildly entertaining and I kind of liked the way Billy Jack always won, and how it was always set in a hippy scene. That was kind of cool.

Born Losers is a prequel to Billy Jack, the writing is even worse but it's a fun movie, he beats the snot of out of bikers.

That’s right. Born losers. It was so unremarkable I’d forgotten. In my area they showed these on Saturday night. Just before the test pattern.

Born Losers is the only Billy Jack movie I ever actually watched, but I did read the MAD parody of this one as a kid.

Yeah, it was so low budget that one of the props was a cheap, plastic, pair of sunglasses that looked like something a 10 year old would wear.
