The first fight in the park after the soda fountain incident.

I liked the movies! I liked better that he saw the light and had the courage to stand against war for what it was.

You've been where they filmed "Billy Jack", Ron...Prescott Arizona, and that particular scene right in the town square there.
This is the first I've heard of Peter O'Toole's death, also. What a great actor he was. Loved him in "My Favorite Year", and of course in "Lawrence of Arabia".
Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)

Wow! I didn't realize that Dwight! They must have used one of the old stores for the soda fountain general store then.

Dent's Ice Cream Parlor, in which the "Billy Jack" scene where the bully pours flour over the little indian kid and then is confronted by Laughlin for doing so, still stands exactly where it was to this day, Ron, though it's been named Kendall's Famous Hamburgers and Ice Cream Shop since 1987. Unfortunately however, Kendall's just closed it doors last month. http://www.dcourier.com/main.asp?SectionID=1&SubsectionID=1&ArticleID=125081

"Kendall's just closed it doors last month", I blame....

He was also great in King Ralph.

How many teenage young men looked up to Billy Jack. Ex-marine, quite low key bad ass, bike rider, girls fawning after him, hitting some peyote. Man what a life
