A biker gang incites a reign of terror in a California coastal town that culminates in four teenage girls being raped. Vietnam veteran Billy Jack (Tom Laughlin) has had enough, however, and takes on the depraved bikers single-handedly. He rescues young Vicky Barrington (Elizabeth James) from their clutches, but then has to contend with not only the thugs, but also the ineffectual and racist local lawmen, who have it out for the half-Native American Billy.

2.5/4

The balance Laughlin clearly wants to strike between the popcorn enjoyment of righteous vengeance and the difficulties of true justice is in there somewhere, but it is so buried and muddled that nothing comes through clearly except the exploitation.

Jack kicks plenty of butt, and the film has some neat little twists and turns to keep things interesting - and an ending the really has some guts.

Pretty cool little lone wolf avenger flick. Tom Laughlin is charming as the brave, defiant bad ass who stands up to a group of thugs to protect girls being raped. The ending has more balls than usual for these types of movies.
