I Still Can’t Believe That Was Supposed To Be Real

I spent a few Thanksgivings hanging out with a group of good friends who celebrated the holiday by eating and watching terrible movies. One year brought a selection that was much worse than average, Billy Jack.

Seriously, it was awful. It was hoaky, awkward, low-budget, and all the rest. I laughed about it later to my parents…only to find out that it was apparently a big deal movie when it came out back in 1971. It was a big thing to them, they went out to see it in the theater special. I couldn’t believe it though, there was just no way. It was too awful.

I still can’t believe this was a real movie.
