Ditto. I loved "Born Losers" - but also enjoyed "Billy Jack" and "The Trial of Billy Jack" - portions of which were filmed at the high school where I later taught in Chandler, AZ. (The fight sequence shown in a post above was filmed in the town square in Prescott, AZ - near the "Rough Rider" statue that is NOT "Bucky" O'Neill.)

I also love "South Pacific" and never realized, until now, that the PBY pilot was Tom Laughlin. Thanks, Mark! Some enchanted evening, I'll watch it again.
