Not too many better lines than that in the movies.
A classic movie and line.
I liked those Billy Jack movies when I was a wee lad back in the 70s. At the time I was into Kung Fu theatre, Bruce Lee movies, etc. and the fight scenes satsified me. That being said, it was a strange blend of Kung Fu and themes from the late 60s of anti-establishment; Down with the Man; Peace/Love/Dope; communal living, etc.

I watched them over again when I got older and saw some pretty cheesy dialogue along what is a very dated plot.

That being said, I don't want to come across as peeing on a guy's grave. Like I said, I dug it back in the day. Heck, I remember my school yard chums in elemetary school would pantomime fight scenes at recess and one or more of us would take off our shoes like Billy Jack (of course we would throw in the Bruce Lee "Whoah" as well).
I ordered all four movies today.
Of course I remember the theme song and I may have seen it when I was younger and don't remember. Being an avid movie watcher of not just the mainstream ones I am almost ashamed to say I have never watched these. Thanks to that clip, that will no longer be the case.

Thanks for the info and link.
Some big deaths yesterday, eh?
Just thought of the closing scene of the original movie. This would be an awesome tribute to him at his funeral:
