Director
Jack Arnold, who once guided the destinies of
Creature From the Black Lagoon, does the same for the equally fearsome
Fred Williamson in
Boss Nigger. Set in the Old West, the film casts
Williamson and
D'Urville Martin as a pair of ruthless bounty hunters. They ride into the town where their quarry is hiding, then set about to threaten, cajole, and brutalize everyone in the community. Surprisingly, the violence is rather tame in comparison to other films of this ilk. Co-scripted by
Fred Williamson (who seems to have overdosed on
Randolph Scott flicks),
Boss Nigger's video title was shortened to simply
Boss ; the film is also known as
The Black Bounty Killer.
