1. my thoughts
1: lords of flat bush staring henery wrinkler sly stallone, and bobby from taxi.

Overly sentimental, sort of a softened up Amboy Dukes, but had some good acting.

2: Knight Riders by bruce campbell. It dealt with a mideval times motorcylce jousting troupe.

Not Bruce Campbell - George Romero. Haven't seen it since I was a kid so have no opinion.

3: CC Rider starring Joe Namoth

Never saw it.

4: Billy Jack

Decent fight sequences, Billy Jack is a cool character. I liked the faux modern western structure of the film. I hated the school and wanted the villains to run the hippies off. It goes on a half hour too long, and led to two dreadful sequels.

5: Any which way you can and any which way but loose.

First one funny. Second one not so funny.

6. Eddie and the Cruisers - michael pare

Meh...

7: Streets of Fire - michael pare

LOVED IT. Walter Hill's best film since The Warriors. A Rock and Roll Fable of the first order.

Okay did i just date myself?

3. there is a whole genre of Hells Angels/Biker Gang flicks
they peaked in the mid 60s though. By the time Born Losers (the first Billy Jack flick) came around they were pretty passe, most of that can be blamed on the killings at Altamont. After Born Losers they became parody, like the Black Widows in the Any Which Way movies.

4. Born Loosers was cool
I even like the trial of billy jack though. The movie that killed it for me billy jack goes to washington. Way to long and redundant.
Oh btw have you been to tom laughlins site? He's very anti Bush.

5. I've been to his site, he's nuttier than squirrel shit
I think Born Losers was great. Billy Jack less so. The Trial of Billy Jack awful. Billy Jack goes to Washington, unwatachable.

He also made a whacked out western too, but I can't remember the name of it.

7. That's close, I thought it was less a remake than absolute plaigarism
only done so ham handed and clumsily as to render the film unbearable to sit through
