| “ | I was killed in ... Boss Nigger by Fred Williamson. We had a great time with our fights. We went down to Arizona to film Boss with R.G. Armstrong. He had a lot of urban, black kids on the set. They were falling off their horses like Neville Brand did in Laredo — only they weren't drunk, of course. Fred and I had a great fight scene in that, more than one. | ” |
