Boss Nigger is not trying to be everything to everyone, and that focus is exactly what makes it work. Boss Nigger does what great comedies rarely manage — it is actually funny, consistently, across the whole run. 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. Fred Williamson and D'Urville Martin lead a cast that never overplays a joke. It was released in 1975. The timing in Boss Nigger is precise enough that even the throwaway lines land on a second watch. It knows exactly what it is, and does not try to be anything else.

Boss Nigger is the kind of thing you put on in the background and end up fully watching. If you have run out of similar titles to watch, this is a strong next pick. The complete film is available and best experienced without too much prior knowledge of where it goes. Fred Williamson sets the tone, but the supporting cast is where a lot of the best moments come from. A reliable pick for any night you want quality comedy without the homework.
