Billy Jack takes on child pornographers in New York City.
During the course of its filming, Laughlin suffered a head injury when a breakaway bottle malfunctioned while filming a scene in Toronto. By the time he recovered, funds to complete the film were depleted, and production never resumed. Laughlin originally planned to sell the film to a major studio, but plans either fell through or were never realized.[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.[4]
Laughlin died on December 12, 2013.[5]
