    Two black cowboys ride majestically across the American plain. The music is a kind of funk-Morricone, with a singer enthusiastically explaining that "They call him Boss. BOSS N*GGER!" A black woman is being assaulted by a group of white cowboys, our black heroes intervene and sav...( read more)e this damsel in distress.

    A blaxploitation Western was bound to happen eventually, and its a good thing Fred Williamson got there first. What Boss N*gger lacks in technical proficiency and skill it makes up for in heart and soul. The music is funktacular, especially the catchy theme tune, and the acting from our heroes is wonderful. Boss N*gger also boasts some very funny lines, such as Boss kissing a white woman, before going, "that's just to satisfy your curiosity."

    It's slow at parts, but the idea of two black bounty hunters coming to a white town and setting their own rules is appealing, and the film pulls it off. There are also some great shootouts, especially the finale, which is really quite exhilarating, and features a remarkable, almost downbeat ending. This film is by no means a masterpiece, but it is one of the best blaxploitation films I've seen, and an admirable effort on a small budget.

    Fred Williamson is as bad as the theme song ~ Black man in a white man's town. He's got trouble. Get in his way, he's gonna cut you down. Takin' over. He can ride. He can shoot. Don't take nothin' from nobody. Oh, he's black, bad, scared of nothing, yeah! He's so bad. They call h...( read more)im boss; he's the boss; boss nigga.

    Just gave this one a re-watch this evening, it holds up well.

    A great Blaxploitation flick, well worth the hassle of tracking down if only for the funky out of place soundtrack.

    Fred Williamson is awesome as he rides into town and assumes the sheriff's job in a town overrun wit...( read more)h bandits in an attempt to draw out an outlaw.

    Hilarious Western and serious at the same time. The Title alone demands some attention. If it had more action it would be a 3 star movie.
