Sex & Nudity

  • There is a Sex Scene, involving a rape scene. There's Nudity, women's breast. One scene, a woman goes to the lake for a swim and she gets completely naked which is shown while a man is watching through binoculars.
  • A man is having sex with a 13 year old girl when they are interrupted by Billy Jack. When the girl gets out of bed, she holds a sheet in front of her, but as she walks out of the room her buttocks and side breasts are visible.
  • A woman strips naked (bare buttocks and sides of breasts) and dips into a river. A rape scene, the shot being from the shoulders up.
  • A man takes a knife and cuts open a busty young woman's shirt, then cuts her bra off, revealing everything but her nipples. When Billy Jack shows up and rescues her, he tells her to get out of the car. Still topless, she asks if he's going to look. He jokingly says "Probably."

Violence & Gore

  • A man hits his teenage (she looks about 6-8 weeks) pregnant daughter with a roundhouse fist to the jaw. In the next scene she is shown in hospital with black eyes and facial bruises from the beating.
  • A man attacks three men using hapkido foot and hand strikes, knocking two down and the third through a plate glass window.
  • There is an extended fight scene in which a man is attacked by about a dozen men. He is an accomplished hapkido fighter and holds his own for some time with many hapkido defensive moves and strikes. He knocks down a number of his attackers and smashes one man's face into a masonry railing. He is finally subdued by being hit over the head with a stick of wood and is then held from behind and beaten with fists until bloody and unconscious.
  • A woman is held at gunpoint, tied naked and raped. She screams and struggles during the rape.
  • A man is held by two others and a third holds a short pipe section to his throat while he is verbally abused and threatened. He is then struck in the abdomen with the pipe.
  • Two men chase another man, first in cars, then on foot, and they shoot at each other with rifles. A short time later we see the man's body floating in the lake with a bullet wound in the head and blood in the water. In the next scene his body on a gurney is rolled into an ambulance; the sheet covering his head is very bloody. We are later told he was shot four times in the head.
  • A man advances menacingly toward another man. The first man shoots the attacker in the abdomen but is then disarmed with a hapkido foot strike and then killed with a hand strike to the throat. In a later scene, the abdomen wound has bled through the man's clothing and his jacket has a saucer-sized stain of red blood.
