During the filming of the famous I-Just-Go-Berserk scene in the soda parlor, Tom felt, as the director, he must get inside the heads of his actors, truly understand the basis for their feelings and motivation. And the best way to do that? Have some free ice cream.
In this outtake from the scene, you should notice two things: 1) there is a jump in the scene where the piece that was used in the final movie was taken out, and 2) that Tom jumps into the frame at the end, ice cream in hand (he’s not setting it down till it’s gone.)
[NOTE: None of the outtakes have sound, not because we don't have the sound, but because we don't have the manpower to sync all the sound to all the outtakes. We have almost 30 hours of outtakes - everything that was printed from the shoot. That's hundreds of hours of work. You can help us get the sound to all the outtakes back in sync, and get us started filming the interviews by contributing on eBay or just making a simple donation via PayPal.]

lol well if you think about it, why else did billy jack go into that ice cream store? i like to think that billy jack was mumbling to himself which flavors sounded good when you see his jeep pulling in across the street behind berNERD. “hmmm, butter pecan, strawberry…nice corvette…chocolate malted chrunch, french vanil-…D’OH!
This is interesting. I never noticed Billy Jack (Tom Laughlin) going and getting a free ice cream cone! That’s a riot!
It isn’t in the film. This is an outtake. We have literally over 25 hours of outtakes, but we don’t have the manpower to go through, catalog, sync, and prep them for display. We only have a few that were done as samples, like this one. Unfortunately it doesn’t have the sound, but it’s still fun.
I realy enjoyed this one Frank. As soon as I saw Tom with the ice cream cone, the first thing that popped into my head was the Saturday Night Live skit with Paul Simon spoofing Billy Jack as Billy Paul. “I want a triple cone, strawberry, chocolate, and vanilla….that’s red, black, and white, together. If only the world could get along as well as this ice cream cone . . . . .”
