Billy Jack or The Trial of Billy Jack.
An icon of a film for the late Boomer generation it blew our (13-14 yo) minds. Does not hold up so well pretty much anytime after 1979.
My brother was attending the U of A. When it was being filmed and was an extra. He said that contrary to popular beliefs, Tom Laughlin did not do his own stunts nor as far as he could tell did not practice martial arts. He said when it came time for the hero to deliver his brand of justice, the director would call cut and a Korean guy about the same stature of Laughlin would come out of his trailer and fight the bad guys.
This film and "Billy Jack" are the perfect kind of movie cheese that almost too easy a target and deserves a Riffing! Even better if done as a Kickstarter project.

The Billy Jack movies are laughably self-important.
