[billy Jack is surrounded by Posner's thugs]

Mr. Posner: You really think those Green Beret Karate tricks are gonna help you against all these boys?

Billy Jack: Well, it doesn't look to me like I really have any choice now, does it?

Mr. Posner: [laughing] That's right, you don't.

Billy Jack: You know what I think I'm gonna do then? Just for the hell of it?

Mr. Posner: Tell me.

Billy Jack: I'm gonna take this right foot, and I'm gonna whop you on that side of your face...

[points to Posner's right cheek]

Billy Jack: ...and you wanna know something? There's not a damn thing you're gonna be able to do about it.

Mr. Posner: Really?

Billy Jack: Really.

[kicks Posner's right cheek, sending him to the ground]

Russell Johnson, The Professor on Gilligan's Island

One of the funniest jokes I ever heard was how The Professor could build almost ANYTHING out of bamboo - a bicycle, a telescope, even a record player.

It seems the only thing this genius couldn't figure out how to build out of bamboo was a boat!

RIP Professor.

It's a double dose of death. :boohoo:

Two icons of our '70s childhood, Reuben Kincaid (Dave Madden)and The Professor (Russell Johnson), have shuffled off this mortal coil. The Professor has finally made it off the island and Reuben is at last free of Danny Partridge's shenanigans.

If you are a Generation X'er or a Millenial, you probably can't imagine how ingrained "Gilligan's Island" and "The Partridge Family" is inside us kids who watched that show growing up, both in prime time and on endless afternoon reruns when it was syndicated.

Rest in peace, indeed, Dave Madden and Russell Johnson.

RIP James Avery, best known as "Uncle Phil" to a lot of tv viewers....

I grew up in the 90's. I first found out that James Avery had passed while watching the 2014 Screen Actors Guild Awards! Needless to say, I was devastated!

I'm a HUGE fan of The Fresh Prince of Bel Air! That comedy show sure got me through some tough and devastating times growing up! IMHO, Uncle Phil and Will were the ones who drove the show! R.I.P James Avery! :(
