I can just see my mealy-mouthed liberal self back at my seventies-era multiplex trying to see this one. standing in a line with at least one or two African-Americans. (We didn’t even have the expression “the N word” back then.)
“ER…Boss…uh…the movie with Fred Williamson, please.”
If Im not mistaken, I believe this was released in America (by Paramount) as “The Legend of Nigger Charley.” Progress o regress? You make the call!
Oh…my. And it has a PG rating. Now-a-days it would be given an “R” just for the word alone.
I love the old Rudy Ray Moore films. “The Avenging Disco Godfather” is one of my favorites.
I didn’t even understand what’s wrong with this poster at a first glance. It’s only after I’ve read the comments when I got it. Omfg. Just omfg.
It’s a whole nother world.
There’s a preview over at YouTube:
In the UK it was released as The Black Bounty Killer
Long live the Hammer!!!
DENNIS:
the legend of nigger charley was a diferent movie, also with fred williamson, it came out in 72, boss nigger was released in 75 as boss nigger in the USA and as the black boutny killer in the UK, but all good names i have to say… (or maybe not)
Sounds like a serious version of ‘Blazing Saddles’…..
I like it! And Fred agreed to being in it knowing full well what the title would be. Could have been used as an Obama campaign poster. hahahah! That’ll upset the lefties…good!
