Just searching around on Ebay and stumbled upon a listing for a 35mm print of "The Return of Billy Jack" (1986)

From what I can gather it lost funding and was never completed, but this Ebay listing claims to be all footage shot

Unfortunately I don't have the money to drop on this but thought I should bring it up before it possibly vanishes like Blood Circus

Someone should tip off the film preservation subreddit and see if anyone wants to take a chance on it.

I probably will but I haven't seen much activity on posts while I've been on there

Wish there was some way we could pool funds together and buy it and get this digitized, I know some game preservation forums have done something like that

Before I clicked on that headline, I was just thinking about that weirdo Santo Gold and his space wrestling movie, lol.

Crossposted on the Film Preservation subreddit and LMW Discord

This really sucks, its right there but I cant get it, and I have a bad feeling it's just gonna disappear. The seller is selling off the collection of the director so its possible this is the only print of what they shot.

So the listing ended with 12 bids. On the slim chance someone here won it, please update us here so we can find a way to clean/digitize it.

Unfortunately, if it was won by someone not here, it's probably in the hands of some collector and might be gone for good
