BILLY JACK opens in limited markets. Directed by Tom Laughlin. Written by Laughlin and Delores Taylor. Laughlin's self-penned, self-distributed indie sleeper hit centers on a taciturn ex-Vietnam green beret who is forced to lay some fancy Hapkido moves on a bunch of racist rednecks threatening a "flower-power" desert school. Box-office success spawns two sequels.
