Gyroscopic Investing

I was sorry to see that Tom Laughlin passed away.  In the second movie, the Trial of Billy Jack, they filmed one scene right out side my dorm (Kaibab-Huachuca) at the University of Arizona.  It was the scene where they stop a school bus from the school and one of the cops frisks one of the girls.  My roommate and I are in the background, along with a large group of other students from the University of Arizona who gathered to watch the filming.  As that scene continued, they ran down the street and ended up behind a local Hardee's where the scene ended.  That was in the fall of 1973 or spring of 1974. 

The scene from the link to the clip you included, where he takes his 'right foot and puts it on the left side of the guys face' was filmed in the town square in Prescott, Arizona.  The parents of my roommate from the U of Arizona had a small cabin in the Prescott area and we would go up there every once in a while to go hunting or shooting.  The Prescott of 1973-74 is nothing like the Prescott of today.  Thanks for posting the link - it brought back a lot of good memories from a much more simple time in my like.  While I now live in Texas, Arizona has a beauty unique to the American Southwest.

The Billy Jack films were great, though they haven't aged all that well.

I loved Billy Jack's simmering anger that would finally manifest in the careful and deliberate opening of the can of whupass.

Any time I watch a Jason Statham film today, he reminds me a little of a more urbane and polished version of Billy Jack.
