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."

Press Quotes

Boss, which feels a bit like what Blazing Saddles would have been if it were made by an Italian director like Sergio Corbucci (Companeros) or Enzo Barboni (My Name is Trinity). A low-budget mix of gritty action with a decent helping of comedy...

     —David Walker, DVD Talk

Blaxploitation very rarely infiltrated the western genre, but with Williamson as the lead/co-writer/producer and veteran Jack Arnold at the helm, it's doubtful any other duo could have pulled off a more entertaining and even poignant film.

     —Cut Print Film

Violent but with touches of humor.

     —TV Guide

...an entertaining blaxploitation western film with plentiful action scenes and likable leads and another good villain role for William Smith. Definitely a fun popcorn adventure, it caters very well to those who have a love for politically incorrect films o

     —Cool Ass Cinema

With a politically-incorrect title and unashamedly funky 70s music score used entirely out of place, this is essential viewing for blaxploitation fans (and those of 70s drive-in fare in general), even those who might not care much for Westerns. Recommended.
