To TV that is…
Showtime in the U.S. (and Astral in Canada) are about to begin the first airings of the Billy Jack movies in almost a decade. We’re very excited to have the films back in ‘circulation’. In addition, it’s the first time any of the films other than ‘Billy Jack’ will be seen in HD. It’s taken a lot of work, but we thank you Showtime!
PS: Also showing are ‘The Master Gunfighter’ and ‘The Young Sinner’, Tom Laughlin’s second film made in 1958 featuring the screen debut of Stephanie Powers.
Billy Jack is Coming Back…AWESOME!! These films had such an impact on me as a young child, for the better!!! I had the great pleasure of meeting Tom Laughlin, Delores Taylor and their daughter Teresa in the mid 70′s during a Rob Reiner tennis tournament at the La Costa Country Club (now La Costa Resort & Spa) in Carlsbad, CA…it was a moment in time that I will never forget, they were the most warm, kind and gracious people I have ever met! Getting back to “Billy Jack is Coming Back”, I did notice that one film appears to be missing from the line-up, that film is “The Born Losers”…is there a particular reason why this film is not a part of the “Billy Jack is Coming Back” line-up? It is an important “Billy Jack puzzle piece”.
I loved it when I was younger. And now at 50 I found it on tv again and still love it.
Congrats!!!!
I will be watching for it! Now more people can see how great BillyJack is!!:)
