Boss Nigger
White Man's Town... Black Man's Law!
Directed by Jack Arnold
Produced by Dimension Pictures, Eaves Movie Ranch
A blaxploitation Western comedy that uses the reversal of power dynamics in a frontier town to satirize racial hierarchies through action, humor, and confrontation.
Two black bounty hunters ride into a small town out West in pursuit of an outlaw. They discover that the town has no sheriff, and soon take over that position, much against the will of the mostly white townsfolk.
