Bosso ke mang?

I was recently running through a of list Jean Claude van Damme's movies, some of the favourates for Gen-y action buffs, which got me thinking of the origin of the 'Boss' terminology.
The term was used by Gen-y movie watchers (who's English was not particularly engaging) to refer to the bad guy or the antagonist in the movies. Needless to say, the reason was that his minions in the movies always called the bad guy 'Boss.' Since then every bad guy, whether or not he had minions, was called the boss. To be completely honest most kids thought that 'Boss' was the bad guys' real name.

Most memorable from van Damme's movies were BOLO, DOLF, and TOMPO. The classic bad guy had a bad temper and generally bad manners, and in van Damme's movies as with most movies they were as tough as humanly possible.
The movies would always introduce the bad guy by showing him do a bad thing; like kill the hero's mom, brother, or just kicking the hero's ass. In showbiz they call it 'establishing the character,' it is at this point in the movie that the viewer understands just how bad the 'bad guy' is.
Obviously, through out the whole movie the bad guy perpetually gets to be called BOSS, and also gets to kill off some of his cronies.

Like i said the boss is usually as tough as a human can be, when you put Kung-Fu or Karate into the mix there will be some far-out bosses. Tompo, practiced by kicking a wall; Bolo could cool a red-hot rock with his bare hand, and Dolf collected human ears.

So to answer the question: Bosso ke bad guy in a Jean Claude van Damme movie!
