The Born Losers
Born Losers is a 1967 American outlaw biker film.
The film introduced Tom Laughlin as the half-Indian Green Beret Vietnam veteran Billy Jack.
Since 1954 Laughlin had been trying to produce his "Billy Jack" script about discrimination toward American Indians.
In the 1960s he decided to introduce the Billy Jack character in a quickly written script designed to capitalize on the then-popular trend in motorcycle gang movies.
The story was based on a real incident from 1964 where members of the Hells Angels were arrested for raping two teenage girls in Monterey, California.
Les Petites vacances
Les Petites Vacances is a 2006 French drama film directed by Olivier Peyon.
Billy Jack
Billy Jack is a 1971 action/drama independent film, the second of four films centering on a character of the same name which began with the movie "The Born Losers" (1967), played by Tom Laughlin, who directed and co-wrote the script.
Filming began in Prescott, Arizona, in the fall of 1969, but the movie was not completed until 1971.
American International Pictures pulled out, halting filming.
20th Century-Fox came forward and filming eventually resumed but when that studio refused to distribute the film, Warner Bros. stepped forward.
Still, the film lacked distribution, so Laughlin booked it into theaters himself in 1971.
The film grossed $10 million in its initial run, but eventually added close to $50 million in its re-release, with distribution supervised by Laughlin.
Tom Laughlin
Thomas Robert Laughlin Jr.( August 10, 1931 – December 12, 2013) was an American actor, director, screenwriter, author, educator, and activist.
Laughlin was best known for his series of" Billy Jack" films.
He was married to actress Delores Taylor from 1954 until his death.
Taylor co-produced and acted in all four" Billy Jack" films.
His unique promotion of" The Trial of Billy Jack"( TV trailers during national news and an" opening day" nationwide release) was a major influence on the way films are marketed.
In the early 1960s, Laughlin put his film career on hiatus to start a Montessori preschool in Santa Monica, California; it became the largest school of its kind in the United States.
In his later years, he sought the office of President of the United States in 1992, 2004, and 2008.
He was involved in psychology and domestic abuse counseling, writing several books on Jungian psychology and developing theories on the causes of cancer.
