Not only that but it features the stunning Grier in a stupendously varied range of Seventies threads while righteously kicking villainous white butt at every opportunity. It’s an indisputable fact that Foxy Brown is one of the greatest Blaxploitation films of all time. After linking her boyfriend’s murder to a so-called “modelling agency”, Foxy poses as a prostitute to infiltrate the company, saving fellow black women from a life of drugs and sexual exploitation in the process. Racked with grief and anger she stops at nothing to exact a thrillingly brutal revenge.
Originally conceived as a sequel to Coffy, AIP decided at the last minute it did not want to do a sequel and thus Foxy Brown was born…įoxy Brown stars Pam Grier as the street-smart yet intensely sexy titular character, whose undercover-agent boyfriend is gunned down on the orders of evil drug kingpins. Starring Pam Grier as a vigilante nurse, the film was a runaway hit for American-International Pictures who commissioned Hill to come up with a follow-up. In walked Jack Hill with his 1973 effort Coffy. With Shaft hitting it big in the cinema in 1971, grabbing an audience spanning both age and race, producers scrambled to find the next big blaxploitation franchise and star. Stars: Pam Grier, Antonio Fargas, Peter Brown, Terry Carter, Sid Haig, Juanita Brown, Harry Holcombe | Written and Directed by Jack Hill
