The Legend of Billie Jean (1985)

Average Texas teen, Billie Jean Davy, is caught up in an odd fight for justice. She is usually followed and harrased around by local boys, who, one day, decide to trash her brother's scooter for fun. The boys' father refuses to pay them back the price of the scooter. The fight for "fair is fair" takes the teens around the state and produces an unlikely hero.


People who were alive in the 80's, especially teens, really dig this film. But in 1985 "The Legend of Billie Jean" was actually a major box office flop. But by the mid 80's the home video market was booming, and thanks to this newly created market, "The Legend of Billie Jean" got a second chance and did quite well.
