BOSS NIGGER-1975-Two black bounty
hunters Boss (Fred Williamson also the screenwriter) and Amos
(D'Urville Martin) who hunt only white people become sheriff and
deputy of a town and basically harass all the white people and give
the mayor (RG Armstrong) a hard time. Later Williamson is kidnapped
and tortured by Jed Clayton (William Smith) but Amos and Clara Mae
(Carmen Haywood) rescue him. A doctor (Don “Red Barry) patches him
up. Later after Clayton kills Clara the townspeople help fight off
Clayton's gang and Boss kills Smith but he seems to be killed at the
end (I think...??)
Despite being directed by the great Jack Arnold
(as noted previously he was doing lots of TV shows around this time), BN
seems to to tread a thin line between drama and parody. Many critics
seem to think it's a set up. I personally think it's a s disaster and
the filmmakers had no idea where they were suppose to take the film.
Thanks for reading!
