Boss ****** is a 1975 blaxploitation film directed by Jack Arnold. It stars former football player Fred Williamson, who both wrote and co-produced the film. Boss ****** is the first film for which Williamson was credited as screenwriter or producer.[1]Time Out suggested that Williamson was parodying the violent roles he had played in other blaxploitation films. The review noted that Boss ****** was notable for its "old-fashioned bloodless violence."[3] The film, however, does contain blood as a result of violence.
Writing in 2006, film critic Ryan Diduck described the marketing of Boss ****** and other blaxploitation films to Black audiences as an example of "empowerment through an overturned representation of long-established agency limitations for black men." Diduck specifically cited the trailer for Boss ****** for the manner in which it elicits feelings of Black superiority and white hysteria and encourages the audience to identify with the outsider hero who finds himself at odds with the rules of white America.[6]Last edited by Stab Judah; 04-01-2010, 07:55 AM.
