Flutterby™! : The Return of the Bad Actor

Proving once again that no bad idea is ever completely forgotten, the New York Times reports on the return to filmmaking by famous director, martial-arts expert, political philosopher and presidential candidate Tom Laughlin, creator of the Billy Jack movies in the 1970s. He apparently plans to resurrect the character for these troubled times, and repeat the indie movie success he enjoyed back then. If he's lucky, he won't repeat such creations as Billy Jack Goes to Washington, one of the legendary stinkers of the era, or The Master Gunfighter, a pro-Indian Samuri Western (!) so incomprehensible that it makes David Lynch's version of Dune seem a paragon of clarity.
