Description:
Boss (Fred Williamson), has "decided to hunt white folks for a change," by becoming a bounty hunter to click the hammer on fugitive outlaws. He and his comic sidekick Amos (D'Urville Martin) ride into the town of San Miguel, find it has no sheriff, and takes the job himself, much to the displeasure of the racial epithet-hurling townsfolk who must pay $20 each time they use the "n-word." Those $20 fines add up faster than a Texas tornado, as does the posterior kicking of those who try to keep our heroes from instituting "black man's law in white man's town."

5.0 out of 5 stars Boss: Western at its best.

Hell he is on the cover of the 9.99 dvd set called Black Action. Boss (now pc'd out with the title Boss) is about two black men who are bounty hunters catching white bandits. They run across a some paper work that basically makes them sheriffs of a town, which is in the clutches of a bandit group led by a son of a gun named Jed Clayton.The Good: Boss is Williamson's name in the film and he is as badass as they get. Dressed in black from head to toe, he whips an ignorant town into shape by enforcing "black man's law," which is about the same as basic old western laws, but if you say "the N word" you pay money or do time. They end up hustling a lot of money out of the white folks in town. Williamson even gathers up the poor Mexican community, walks them into town and makes the shop owners give them food and supplies. Sounds like High Plains Drifter.The Bad: Jed Clayton's gang. Senior Clayton reminds me of my days growing up in a small town in Washington, because he looks like the loggers you would see walking into the bar every night, then drives home drunk past the local grade school only to force sex on his wife after a nice beat down. Needless to say this white trash is a coward who always stands behind his gang. But the gang is great fodder for Williamson to beat down so never a dull moment.The Ugly: Racism. Just like many movies subverting cinematic race roles, there is something sobering behind them. The comedy usually defeats the forlorn feeling that racism creates, but in the end an innocent woman is shot in the back for being black and a Mexican child is trampled by a horse. Williamson gets his man in the end, but racism is still there.The MANDOM: Williamson is alone with a posh white woman who has been craving his mandom, so he just grabs her and kisses her hard then says "that's just to satisfy your curiosity."The Food: I was eating some crinkle cut frys and bbq sauce. This is a hamburger movie though. Get a good one going a double hand packed patty with some creole seasoning and a load of cheese that will get you through this kick ass movie.A quick note for white guys like me. The theme song is very catchy but the "N word" is all through out it, so be careful if you find yourself singing it in public.......

I was in this movie, and I'm glad to have a copy.
5.0 out of 5 stars GREAT
GREAT
5.0 out of 5 stars Good movie, good print, reverse cover art
This underrated blacksploitation film has been on my list for a long time, and it was worth the wait Yes, people are going to be offended by the language, but controversy was what Fred Fred Williamson was looking for.
4.0 out of 5 stars He's so bad, they call him "Boss"...
Surprisingly good movie. I originally heard about this from watching the trailer on Youtube, and when I learned it was actually a real movie I had to check it out.Although the real title is "Boss N****r", this is not a racist movie. It's a movie made in the 70's when Blaxpoitation films were in their prime, but this is one of the better ones. So far as I can tell, there's no underlying sinister political message--it's just meant to be a fun movie.And I think it accomplishes that goal well. There's parts that are very funny, and the acting is pretty decent. You also get to see preveiws for other movies made in that time, just as if you were watching it in a theater in the 70's. It's a fun movie to show to friends as chances are they've never seen it before (I don't think it's available in stores).Also, on the front cover, you see "The Boss" (played by Fred "The Hammer" Williamson) weilding a cut-down lever action rifle (I'm guessing a Winchester 1873), which he uses in the movie to hip-fire at bad guys. It's the only gun he uses, but I guess it works for him.So, should you buy it? I'd say yes, unless you get super-offended by racial epithets (the word "N****r" is said like 100 times in the movie). There's also a long interveiw with Fred Williamson on there, which is fairly interesting. GET IT TODAY!!1! (or not, I don't really care, lol)
5.0 out of 5 stars Despite the original title, it's really not a bad movie..
This movie was made during a time where Black was the new.... uhm Black. It's not like the Boss was some sort of pimp or druggie. The protagonist was a hero trying to keep a town safe, despite the blatant racism of most of the townsfolk. There's tons of comedy in it, depending on how you take race/culture issues. You have to take this movie as entertainment, with numerous dashes of the n-word.
3.0 out of 5 stars Tough Western Action from Williamson
In the Old West, Two African-American bounty hunters, "Boss" and Amos (Fred Williamson and D'Urville Martin), come upon a Western frontier town while giving chase to the fugitive criminal Jed Clayton (played by William Smith). When the pair discover that the city has no marshall, "Boss" decides to take on that role for himself, much to the consternation of many of the white townsfolk, including the mayor (played by R.G. Armstrong).The film is full of action and some abbreviated romance involving a local woman infatuated with Boss. The racial conflicts are handled head on, frequently with comedic subtext. The climax of the film is very intense, and should satisfy action fans.Williamson inhabits the role of the stoic, tough hero, quick witted and never totally outsmarted.bonus features include a new interview with Williamson and the original trailers for the film.
5.0 out of 5 stars Forget Clint Eastwood, FRED WILLIAMSON is the real Western Film star!
Western Revenge mixed with Blacksploitation. Fred Williamson is a freakin' star! He did a few of these films and they are all really good.
Blacksploitation at its finest!

Boss noir : inégal et décevant
Un film inégal et décevant, sur tous les plans, à commencer par la musique, incroyablement déplacée dans le cadre d'un western et donc totalement incongrue. Le scénario, ensuite, qui multiplie les scènes ou les références à d'autres westerns. Ainsi, le personnage de Boss rappelle-t-il constamment celui de Clint Eastwood dans les films de Leone ou de "L'homme des hautes plaines". Le montage, haché et maladroit, handicape le film par de pénibles impressions d'incohérences, auxquelles s'ajoutent des invraisemblances criantes : la manière dont Boss se fait capturer, la facilité avec laquelle les bandits dynamitent la prison, l'évasion de Boss. Le personnage du docteur et du forgeron ne sont pas suffisamment fouillés pour que l'on comprenne leur motivation qui les pousse à se ranger au côté des deux chasseurs de prime. Le scénario est également très sommaire quant à la description des bandits : à part le chef ce sont tous des crétins congénitaux, ce qui donne au film un côté parodique assez gênant. Relevons une volonté de dénoncer le comportement raciste des blancs, surtout envers une communauté mexicaine, qui est assez bien rendue dans le film. La prestation de R.G.Armstrong, dans le rôle du maire, est de tout premier ordre. Les deux actrices sont excellentes mais leurs personnages restent très classiques, pour ne pas dire plus. Quant aux décors naturels ils sont très mal filmés. En définitive un western bien en-dessous de ses ambitions.
Four Stars
Great film, audio/video quality was lower than I'd have liked but it's perfectly watchable
western blaxploitation
Les films produits par le mouvement de la Blaxploitation ont souvent davantage d'intérêt socio-historique que d'intérêt cinématographique. Ce BOSS ne fait pas exception. Réalisé par Jack Arnold, réalisateur de série B des années 50 alors à bout de souffle au milieu des années 70, le film reprend la thématique du tireur d'élite qui prend une ville sous sa coupe. Mais ici, comme dans L'HOMME DES HAUTES PLAINES de Clint Eastwood, la ville est pourrie et le racisme ambiant profond. Malheureusement, le film est desservi par une photographie assez laide, une mise en scène à effets assez grossiers, une musique soul déplacée et un scénario inabouti. On peut aussi se questionner sur l'idéologie du film qui est elle-même plutôt raciste. Seul l'époque de sa réalisation permet de le sauver. En vf et en vost. Avec des commentaires de Patrick Brion et Jean-François Giré.
boss is entertaining
...but the picture quality is not very good. still i recommend this movie for anyone who likes western or blacksploitation.
