Untitled[edit]

I wanted to add a picture of the poster and some extra details like you see in other movie pages, however I am not sure how to go about adding a picture, and the copyright stuff is a little too complicated for me. I'll let somebody with more experience handle that.—Preceding unsigned comment added by CountZeroInterrupt (talk • contribs) 21:31, 9 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

A picture of the movie poster has been added along with an infobox. —Jfowler27 02:06, 15 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

DVD[edit]

When is Boss Nigger going to be released on DVD?71.168.146.29 08:36, 6 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

In this politically correct world in the era of Imus, probably never! 24.168.42.143 12:05, 12 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Great news! Boss Nigger is being re-released on DVD by VCI Entertainment (scroll down the page). They say "coming soon", but I'm told that the release date is 30th September 08. The title is "The Boss", and I suspect it will be released in the UK and US. I don't know if they'll edit the word "nigger" out of the opening tune. This isn't much use to the article now, but I plan on getting it and will add some information to the article when I can.--ShaqZigWINNER64 (talk) 20:00, 19 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

link to trailer[edit]

doesn't it bother anyone that the link to the movie's trailer leads to a white supremacist website? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.55.82.66 (talk) 00:13, 9 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The current link for the trailer leads to a removed video. An existing version of the trailer can be found here. However, I tried to add it myself and it was reverted by a bot (possibly because I don't have an account). Does anyone else want to replace the dead link with the one above in a manner that won't get it removed?--85.211.18.208 (talk) 20:22, 29 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You're right about why the bot reverted your edit:

XLinkBot is primarily intended to deal with domains which may have a legit use on-wiki, but are frequently misused by new and anonymous users (or have a history of being misused). The bot allows established users to add links, while reverting links added by others.

I just fixed the link. — Malik Shabazz (talk · contribs) 20:53, 29 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Year of production[edit]

It's 1974, not 1975, says the trailer (0:25). Year of release is 1975, pay attention folks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Historienne2012 (talk • contribs) 08:08, 12 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Boss N-word[edit]

Shouldn't the title be changed to a less racially offensive term? Yes I know it's the original movie title. But there should be NO room on Wikipedia for the word "n*gger", even in an old movie title. 93.219.182.21 (talk) 12:25, 3 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

If you're offended at a catalog for cataloging offensive things... 03:28, 7 May 2013 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.189.46.33 (talk)

You realize we have an article on "nigger" too? Bataaf van Oranje (Prinsgezinde) (talk) 06:28, 12 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
