The Born Losers (1967)
Director: TC Frank Tom Laughlin
Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
Unpreposessing meet-violence-with-vengeance movie in which Hell's Angels terrorise a California town, rape teenagers, and receive their comeuppance from a taciturn halfbreed Vietnam veteran. Of interest only to cult buffs as the home movie which launched Laughlin's money-spinning 'Billy Jack' series. Laughlin subsequently cut much of the copious violence, but could do nothing to improve the rock-bottom acting and production values.Author: JPy
