Re: Vietnam veterans as vigilantes films (alone or in groups I can not believe I didn't put that down. By the by, I think I meant "The Born Losers". Whatever that movie is that first introduces Billy Jack.

Re: Vietnam veterans as vigilantes films (alone or in groups There's an element of this in Slaughter, although the film quickly moves beyond it when the title character's vigilantism leads (in an implausible and convoluted way) to him being recruited by the federal government to infiltrate the mob.

Re: Vietnam veterans as vigilantes films (alone or in groups Well, the films themselves make no reference to any Vietnam war background, since the ages of the actors prevented that. Dolph Lundgren had only reached the age of 32 in 1989, so he would only have reached the age of 17 in 1975, the year the Vietnam War ended. In print this property, per Marvel Vision#15, owes much to Mack Bolan (and a little of the Shadow).
