I received my Black Belt in HapKiDo in 1984. I had the privilege of training with Bong Soo Han. Those were the golden days.
This guy is one of the reasons I started training. It wasn't until 1986 that I started, but better late than never. I'm still training today. Every day. Bless Billy Jack.
Hey brother I could do that once and I'm going for knee surgery in about a year I'm 67 but it was fun
That wasn't Billy Jack .
I mean Tom Laughlin !
That was a Hakido master .
Tom Laughlin was just an ACTOR !
But that is really Bruce Lee working those Num - Chucks
this guy is a reason I got a hat like that
i must admit this fighting scene is 10 X better than most of martial art fight scenes these days where angle is changed every split second, zoom in so much that i can only see legs and arms, and i don't what the heck is going on. But, this clip, i can enjoy beautiful kicks that take so much time to learn.
I can't get over how cool this still is❤
..and yet, we are still dealing with the same crap. Maybe we will make a positive change soon.
To me it’s the most realistic martial arts fight scene I’ve ever seen.
if it was realistic he would've gotten his ass kicked
@@gerrydooley951 I disagree. There were moments that yes the guy would have tackled or hit him but unlike most fight scenes that go on for ten minutes when somebody would have gotten knocked out.
When you are 11 and watching this is on the big screen back in the 70's this was awesome and still is
Billy Jack was everyone’s hero back in the 70s
define "everyone"
I remember watching this on TV with my Dad a couple of times. I remember once, he actually sat up and moved to the edge of his seat when this fight scene came on, I loved it! He wasn't a martial artist but he fought in Patton's Third Army as a scout. He was there in a lot of famous battles and some not so famous ones like helping liberate the Buchenwald concentration camp. Never talked much about the war but loved a good war movie or action movie on TV or at the movie theater.
From the Bruce Lee to Billy Jack movies was great entertaining of the 70s
That was a fight of extraordinary magnitude. You have our gratitude.
Lmao
I agree, and boards don't hit back! 😁
This was the best part of all the Billy Jack movies.
Grandmaster Bong-Soo Han did a lot of the “fighting” for Tom Laughlin in that scene.
I can see that a very advanced teacher. Like Chun Lee former Korean champion who was my teacher.
most of it....beautiful to watch
Remember watching this scene in the height of my martial arts training man did this pump me up thanks Billy jack!
First time Hapkido was used on the silver screen…
Hapkido is joint locks and pressure points
Hapkido trains those kicks (to teach balance & coordination), but a practitioner would never attempt them in combat.
I was 6 when this came out. The perfect age to think that this was actually cool.
After I saw this movie I got into martial arts and 4years later joined the Marines
Now I know where Major Payne got that line from..
You kids. I saw this movie at the drive-in when it came out.
Prescott Arizona
I like his hat. I wanted one just like it back at that time.
When the movie came out I remember seeing the hat at the carnival that was one of the prizes
Yeah, what is stopping you now, engine!?
It's called a reservation cap. Don't ask me why. I found one online by searching with that name. Only difference is the brim is wider than his, but same hat.
I was ten years old when Billy jack hit theaters 🎥.
Ya absolutely gotta love how in ten thousand "hero" movies, the hero fights 5+ guys at once and the 5+ guys all choose to fight the hero one at a time. The rest just stand there while each of the 5+ take on the hero one at time. In my world, all 5 would jump the guy balls out at once, 4 of 'em would hold him down, and the 5th would knife his eyes out.
Since he was still around during this time, I would’ve loved to have heard Bruce Lee’s take on Billy Jack.
Bruce Lee is a legend of all time ,
He would've took out all of them boy s !!
I remember watching this with my dad when I was about 11 - 12 or so and dad commented that him and his moose hunting buddies could use Billy Jack in their gang, no shots required as he could kick the head right off a bull moose Lol
I was at the drive in theater and my mom pushed my head down in the back seat during the rape scene. Memories 😅
Yes. I remember I was 13
Great movie! And I love that this scene was filmed in Prescott, AZ.
Like all such movies, they challenge one at a time instead of just all of them bumb rushing at the same time like in reality.
I was thinking the same thing
Some of us had balls in 1979 and didn’t need gangs. Eat it.
@@hoppes9658 Are you implying that you don't have any now?
@@golgothapro I’m implying that most had honor in fighting in the day. Only punks would jump 5 on one.
@@hoppes9658 Only punks went around in gangs and I've yet to witness a gang yet with any such degree of "honor" especially ones made up of minorities.
I was a teenager when this movie came out and a total martial arts freak. David Carradine, Tom Laughlin and Bruce Lee were my heroes then. I trained for years to be just like them. Looking at the Kung Fu series now, I can see that Carradine knew zero martial arts in the earlier seasons, and that's not Tom Laughlin doing that beautiful crescent kick to that a**hole Posner, nor is he doing any of the fighting in that scene. It's Master Bong Soo Han. Laughlin did train under a karate master before filming began, but Master Han was his body double.
The ole stick to the back of the head trick. Gets those karate guys every time!
😂 Yep, years of training went right down the tube with that move!🤣
Surprised he didn’t reach behind and knock it out of his hand!
Bong Soo Han was a guest instructor at our training hall back in the day. Great guy
Legit?
@@chuddlevideos Yes. And a great master of HapKiDo and Ho Sin Sul. Handsome like a movie star, nice as hell, all business in the training hall.
I watch this every chance I get, and this got me interested in Karate and taking classes. Thank you for uploading this classic
Billy Jack knew martial arts like I know calculus.
I heard so much about this when it came out, but it would be a cpl decades before I saw it. But i did see a skit on SNL with Paul Simon playing billy, and mad magazine covered it too. But those just whet my appetite. Thanks!
Yep, BILLY PAUL!!!
That SNL skit aired the same night after NBC aired BILLY JACK and then the local newscast. What a pleasant surprise.
I remember seeing this at the drive in when it first came out.
Saw this movie when i was 6 .Good stuff.
Looks like the town square in Prescott, AZ…
Gotta love that inside crescent kick though!
In real life, Tom and his wife were trained in Hapkido.
Bullshito!
Maybe so but hapkido is joint locks and pressure points.
This reminds me of some of the fights from the, "Batman: Arkham," game franchise. All that's missing are the quotation marks over the enemy's heads when they're about to attack!
Loved watching old movies with my dad and Billy jack was no exception. He explained the stories and the before and afters so it was even more interesting. We were having “lore” discussions before they were even a thing! I still watch old great movies on Pluto for free if anyone isn’t also.
Amigo, conoces las de Kung-fú? Tambien era muy buena serie y Sandokán, Hombre rico hombre pobre, etc etc..
"lore discussions?" you sure they were not DEI talk back in the day?
Notice how they all take turns getting their asses kicked.
Obliging of them, wasn't it? 😄
It's a movie
At the beginning, yes, when the thugs were all widely spaced apart. But once they converged on Billy, they were able to overwhelm him. Two men held his arms while one repeatedly punched him in the face. The Sheriff saved Billy by appearing just in time, forcing the thugs to stop.
Always a classic 😊
Hapkido is the Korean transliteration of Japanese Aikido, meaning "The Way of Harmony" or the "Way of Coordinated Energy." It was influenced by Daito-Ryu Aikijujustsu, Judo and Chinese martial arts. Billy Jack is one of my favorites!
I remember watching this as a kid..always had bear feet..because of his indian connection..
Bear feet? Man, I would not want to be his pedicurist.
The movie was about standing up against what was wrong...back then it started a fire of thought....these days everyone accepts thier so called ' place ' in society. You don't see anyone in the news doing this...means injustice goes without punishment.
So . . . no one on the news is using a stunt-double to kick several hicks in the face, ergo, injustice is going unpunished?
The best fight scene ever!
Grande Billy!!! Per la prima volta al cinema avevamo visto l'hapkido coreano...😊
Bong Soo Han. Tae Kwon Do foot techniques! Just Beautiful stuff!
Bad ass Green Beret!
The first Billy Jack movie, Born Losers, wasn't too bad, low budget movie in which BJ fights a biker gang.
One of those it's so bad it's good scenes
Ya my dad was in this movie. Cool stories from back then.
Totally cool dude. You always like the village Jack movies your dad must’ve been awesome!
Great movie.
I appreciated the honesty of this fight scene. While Billy Jack put up a great fight against uncoordinated multiple assailants, once they were able to converge and bring their numbers to bear, they did overwhelm Billy. This would happen in real life which is why it's best to run away from a gang if you have the opportunity.
Evil Mr. Posser was ultimately correct when he told Billy Jack that he had no chance against so many young, able-bodied, angry men. Billy could have chosen to run but he stuck it out to make a point about not backing down. It was extremely risky as Billy could have been beaten to death had the sheriff not arrived in time to stop the fight.
Still, the fight scene was a great exhibition on the techniques of Hapkido, a Korean martial art founded in the early 1950s by a Korean practitioner of traditional Korean Tang Soo Do and aiki-jujutsu (aka, aikijutsu).
Billy Jack actually beat down several men, using the tactic of, 'Like sand in the wind, keep moving...attack the group". But when the thugs were able to converge on Billy and use their numbers to effect, that's when Billy got taken down.
Saw this at the drive in with my parents. Also saw Steppinwolf at the Astodome the first year it opened. They played before the game.
Mad Magazine came out with a great parody of this movie. It was drawn by the great Mort Drucker. It was hilarious!
Very thoughtful of the thugs, I thought, to wait one at a time, for their turn to fight.
Billy Jack don't mess around. Play with Billy - Get the SMACKDOWN!!
One of the greatest action scenes in all of cinema.
Ya gotta be kidding, right? Seen Reacher...or, that scene in Saving Private Ryan in the upper room?
@@user-fu9vj9ix3g Maybe I should have up until that point.
Sometimes the algorithm gets it right.
This looks like it was filmed in the the town square of Prescott, Arizona. Am I wrong?
So, there is a place somewhere that all the dudes in town just hang out behind trees? That's a weird flex...
Dude, laughing my ass off!!!
Can't stop laughing 😂
He didn't do those kicks think it was a Korean martial artist. Don't remember but I studied Tang Soo Do back then and they mentioned the guy once or twice. Korean MA are brutal with kick discipline.
This is the movie that started the martial arts craz. It was not Bruce's movies
Its actually hapkido. 😊
Classic Hollywood. You stand still and wait your turn. No, not everybody at once. The people watching this movie will believe it's possible for one man to beat up 12 guys.
The man doing those kicks eas Bong Su Han.
I want Billy Jack to win!! Re edit this where he is triumphant and gets away!
I like how the assailants all take turns fighting him one-on-one. Nobody ever rushes him. Typical Hollywood!
Classic line
Definitely owes more than a little to 'Kung Fu' in concept and style.
Bikky ack was shot in 1970,,,before "Kung Fu"
I love Bikky ack !
@@bobgriffith2001 In that case,then, vice versa! 100%
That's Hapkido...
I was a student of this awesome martial art back in the late 70's early 80's
Along with Taekwondo
And Judo...
My instructor was friends with Bonsohon...
I probably messed up his name...
Both these Korean mofo's were badass!!
I still remember the lesson's I learned from my instructor...
Can you still do those moves?
I always liked this fight when I was a kid. To me it's a bit more realistic the most in that although Billy Jack's a lot more skilled in fighting he still loses because when you come right down to it 15 guys verse 1. Yah sorry 1s gonna lose. Plus the way he fights seems more real to me hit once incompasitate opponent move, move, move.
A Classic
👀...👍💯😎💯👍
" aie sarko ... ça fait mal ! tapez pas si fort ! ! "
This scene was after they beat up an indian boy and poured flour on some of the girls. BJ went out to his jeep and the wires were missing so that was when he went across the st to the court house grounds and whooped some azz!
The world thanks you , Captain Obvious. LOL
Well, he got about a dozen of 'em ready for hospital food, before they got him.
Damn, that looks like me. 😬
Don't ever pick up a fight with BILLY JACK (Tom Laughlin), he's one tin soldier.
But he just ran away.
I saw this as a kid too... as an adult that's trained for 45 years? Hapkido is as effective as weaponized Tai Chi and mainly against aggressive panhandlers and store mannequins.
I still use that line but instead of saying face, I have to say knee cuz that's about as high as I can kick these days!
Just like the chuck Norris movies, tom is being attacked 1 at a time, that makes it easier for him to make believe he's good at hapkido 😊.
Loved this movie and loved this scene but it always looked to me like some of those dudes he kicked the crap out of were just spectators who were watching the action. He was an indiscriminate butt kicker. They cut the part where he kicked an old lady with a bag of groceries. 😁
Fantastic ❤
где его обувь?
Some of those kicks to the face looked pretty damn real. I know the camera affects depth perception, but look at 2:15. Damn, I wouldn't want to be kicked in the chops like that, acting or no acting.
I got whacked in the face while sparring in Tae Kwon Do with a fellow student who was a skinny, 6'3" dude. He wasn't even trying to hurt me. But his foot connected with the side of my face and I found myself kissing the floor.
Hapkido is a Korean combination of Japanese Daito Ryu Aki-Ju Jitsu (the precursor to Aikido) and Japanese Shotokan, via Tang Soo Do (Hapkido kicks are more like Tang Soo Do's than Tae Kwon Do's). It really didn't exist until the late 1930s, and the high kicks not incorporated into Hapkido until the 1950s. There are now about 6-7 branches of Hapkido, including "Hwarang-do". HWD's claims on ancient secret preserved lineage are baseless, and HWD founder Joo Bang Lee and his brothers were just Hapkido teachers in Seoul until they immigrated to the USA in the early 1970s, and that's when the preserved lineage claims began.
Hapkido.
It would have been better if would have said there's not a damn thing u can do to stop it.
I want his hat.
The townsman were not real men or they would’ve bought him one at a time.
What was Billy doing in the park barefoot?
He took his boots and socks off before he went across the road to the park ,
Watch the entire movie not just some 3 minute TH-cam clip ,
A Vette gets driven into the water too !
Why didn't he hit the brakes ?
1971 or 1979 you have to choose
Jason Statham could be the new Billy Jack.
Not "Karate" it is Hapkido.....
I was there!
And....?
Not karate, it’s hapkido.
Correct. Karate
Essentially, Hapkido is a Korean combination of Japanese Daito Aki-Ju Jitsu (the precursor to Aikido) and Japanese Shotokan, via Tang Soo Do (Hapkido kicks are more like Tang Soo Do's than Tae Kwon Do's). It really didn't exist until the late 1930s, and the high kicks not until the 1950s.
Now people would just shoot each other
It's actually Hapkido, not Karate.
His martial art was known as hapkido
He was good , but that wasn't him who did that kick !!
Hapkido, basically Korean version of karate. Loved all the Billy Jack movies. Not as many martial arts movies then . Seemed pretty cool , kinda a Robin Hood thing. Born Losers was pretty epic in the climatic scenes.
Tae Kwan Do is the Korean version of karate, I think.
Hapkido started as a Korean version of Japanese Jujitsu, but other Korean arts were added as time went by, including striking arts.
I can't remember who stood in for Tom to do that kick,
but it was bad-azz !! 🤨👍🏻
Hapkido is a body of Japanese self-defense techniques, involving grabs, wrist locks, and weapons disarming, used in Tae Kwon Do, the Korean form of self-defense, both of which you saw.
