As great as the first Billy Jack movie, Born Losers, was, this movie is the antithesis. Here's why:
Script not co-written by Elizabeth James, who actually wrote most of Born Losers.
Elizabeth James not the female lead, and instead we get why nepotism is bad, Laughlin's wife as the lead.
Billy Jack vs everyone in the whole town as a stereotyped bigot, rather than vs a motorcycle gang terrorizing the townspeople who were not Billy Jack haters.
Billy Jack spends too much time contemplating philosophy and rubbing his forehead rather than busting ass like he did in the first one.
Lame ending vs a great ending. Damn Billy Jack shoulda got away to the hills after laying waste to the bigots (but no cop killings).
As I said, he killed a cop who was doing his job. And Laughlin managed to kill a great character after such a great debut.
