Do you remember Boz and actor?

Movie themes have so much changed from what they use to be when we were growing up. These days, movies are centered around a group of people, a lifestyle, love etc, it's just a few of them that still keep to the old fashion way of pitching a hero against a villain and are mostly a sequel or a remake of an old movie e.g batman, spiderman etc. In the 80's when we were kids, we often referred to the hero as Actor while the villain we called Boz. The actor was the good guy who risks his life to ensure the safety of multitude. Even though he's a tough guy, he still manages to look good enough to appeal to his sympathizers who always want him to succeed. We use to feel devastated as kids after we finish seeing a movie that saw the actor die; we spend close to an hour thinking about his predicament as if it actually happened in real life which makes us develope a huge hatred for the boz. Such movie gets bad publicity from us as we tell our friends not to watch it just cos our beloved actor died in it. Some actors are the type that start off as dumb guys with no self-esteem who later become tough cos the boz's boys taunted him too much. Such actors usually get a pretty admirer who later become their girlfriend while some are just all about women.....one mission, one babe for the night e.g james bond. I hated his movies as a kid because I thought it had too many erotic scenes, scenes I can't even call erotic now because of the likes of spartacus and game of thrones. Do you remember chuck norris, van damme, arnold schwarzeneger aka commando, amita bachan, jugunu, jackie chan etc? Yes, you remember cos most of them are still in the mainstream but have blended into the modern movie themes which is far different from the boz and actor theme.

But can you remember anyone of the boz, I mean the persons that played them? No you won't, cos we all hated them so much and rejoiced hard when they get destroyed by the actor who limps home with blood stains after the mission. Sometimes we don't know what causes fight between the boz and the actor. Sometimes it's cos the boz wants a certain babe who happens to be the actor's girlfriend, unable to attract her with his badman swag, he decides to kidnap her which infuriates the actor. In such scenes, you find the boz seated by the pool side smoking a cuban cigar, shirt unbottened with 2 ladies rubbing his pot-belly and stroking his bald head. His boys, who are usually hefty and on dark shades, arrive from kidnapping the actors girlfriend, drop her on the floor in front him as he laughs(hahahahaha) as if something is funny. When he tries to touch the lady's hair, she slaps him, an act that makes one of the boz's boys to kick her thinking that will make the boz find him impressive. Next thing you see is the boz ordering his other boys to pin the fool to the ground as he uses a knife to rip out his heart inorder to register his brutal status to we the viewers, as if we can pass the message to the actor. When the actor finally comes to the rescue, he gets to fight with a tonne of his boys who pour out of nowhere. Some actors use guns to defeat them while some use their fists till they're finally faced with the boz who now flees lazily. What were we expecting before? A man with pot-belly to be strong enough to face the actor with sixpacks? No wonder he had enough boys around him. He pleads for his life while on the floor; at that stage, we usually get angrily disapointed when the actor decides to spare his life, cos the moment the actor turns his back to go, the badman transforms his walking stick into a sharp object which he stabs the actor with. Instead of the boz to finish him off while he's on the floor feeling pains, he starts laughing like hahahahaha and taunting the actor who later regains his strenght and finishes him.

Did you see the picture of the man up there? I'll advice a wannabe actor to stay away from him cos his brutality will rip out your adam's apple and show it to you while he puts on a face that says "your balls are next". The beef usually starts with a young lad getting taught a lesson after messing up at a palmwine joint, he gets beaten and rushes home to report to his master. He returns with his master, an old man that uses his tricks to defeat the boz. Don't rejoice yet cos there's always a bigger boz who's more brutal than what you can imagine. He allows the old man to dance around a bit before he unleashes his killer move that sends the man to his grave. It only takes an inspirational move by the young lad to defeat the big boz after months of training.

Sometimes, I wish the movie industries could go back to what they started with, though i like what they are doing, I just feeling they should lose touch with the past. Well, I hope I was able to give you some nolstalgic feelings.
