The Return of Billy Jack is an unfinished theatrical film starring Tom Laughlin (who also directed), reprising his role as Billy Jack, and co-starring Rodney Harvey and Delores Taylor.
By the time he recovered, funds to complete the film were depleted, and production never resumed.
[1][2] At the time production stopped, only approximately 15 minutes of the motion picture had been filmed.
In addition, while filming was taking place in New York City, Laughlin broke up a street fight on Manhattan's West Side[3] and made a citizen's arrest of a man following an argument over Laughlin's driving.
[6] The following month, DreamWorks Pictures announced their intention to buy the distribution rights for the project for $400,000 against $1.5 million, with Laughlin and his wife Delores Taylor hoping to reprise their roles from the original series and setup passing the torch to Reeves.
