This past weekend I watched "Billy Jack Goes to Washington".   When I was in high school, the Billy Jack films were huge. The mixed messages that gave were just what my generation was looking for - at the time.

"Billy Jack Goes to Washington" never saw theatrical release. Watching the DVD, I'm not sure they ever finished it! Based on the Jimmy Stewart classic "Mr. Smith Goes to Washington", this film lacked the acting skills of Jimmy Stewart and Claude Rains. Because the story was about politics, there was no need for the fight scenes that made Billy Jack popular. Still, they threw in one scene just so we could see him take off his boots and kick the crap out of a band of knife wielding African Americans.

I can see why it was never released.
