The best adjective to describe BILLY JACK would be...phenominal.
BILLY JACK was a character and a movie that captured the spirit of young movie-goers during the early 1970s. These young people returned time after time after time to the local Salisbury theatres (and there were only five screens in the city at the time) to see this independent "sleeper" feature.
It seemed as if BILLY JACK was playing at one of the Salisbury theatres constantly. And as a local theatre manager during this period, it certainly felt that way to me.
BILLY JACK had fourteen Salisbury bookings in a FIVE-year period:
