Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I totally agree with kidglov3s 7-27-17 review of this Billy Jack collection on Blu-ray. The Blu-ray jacket proclaims "Experience The Legend Like Never Before!" and watching The Trial of Billy Jack chopped and cropped is certainly a new experience. I had reconciled myself to still buying this collection in spite of the cropped version of The Trial of Billy Jack, the crown jewel of the collection. What I wasn't prepared for was the removal of the emotional climax of the movie, over 3 minutes (near the end) in the church with everyone singing Give Peace a Chance. I guess a song written by John Lennon was just too expensive for Shout! Factory to clear the rights on. Or maybe it was a legal entanglement. Either way, the consumer should be informed about what they are buying. It would have been better to not release the Blu-ray collection at all, and Amazon should remove it from their website as it will save everyone a lot of trouble in excess returns. Collateral damage from the 3-minute "Give Peace a Chance" scene removal includes disruption of the dual audio commentaries. With regard to Billy Jack Goes to Washington, the motion stuttering is so pervasive it has rendered the film unwatchable and made the few action scenes laughable. Releasing a collection in this condition on Blu-ray is unimaginable and unforgivable. I cannot wait to return this travesty.
