Initially a dud at the box office, Tom Laughlin set up further distribution for a re-release in 1973. This time it was an enormous hit.
Tom Laughlin had no martial arts training before he started training for the movie. He studied under a master teacher for six months before filming started.
Supposedly one of Elvis Presley's favorite films.
The type of hat Billy Jack wears is commonly called an Uncle Joe hat.
Just before shooting on the picture began, several cast members tried to convince Tom Laughlin to not wear his black hat with the Indian headband, saying they thought it looked silly, Laughlin fought back, wore the hat anyway and, of course, it became an iconic trademark of the Billy Jack character.
"[Billy Jack is surrounded by Posner's thugs] Mr. Posner: You really think those Green Beret Karate tricks are gonna help you against all these boys? Billy Jack: Well, it doesn't look to me like I really have any choice now, does it? Mr. Posner: [laughing] That's right, you don't. Billy Jack: You know what I think I'm gonna do then? Just for the hell of it? Mr. Posner: Tell me. Billy Jack: I'm gonna take this right foot, and I'm gonna whop you on that side of your face... [points to Posner's right cheek] Billy Jack: ...and you wanna know something? There's not a damn thing you're gonna be able to do about it. Mr. Posner: Really? Billy Jack: Really. [kicks Posner's right cheek, sending him to the ground]"
"Billy Jack: Now, which is it gonna be: drive your car in the lake or get a dislocated elbow?"
