Blistering action, unbridled suspense, nerve-wracking energy, and an abundance of beautiful barenaked ladies. What more can you ask for?
Tough as nails, mad as a hornet, and as sexy as yours truly, Coffy embarks on a chaotic estrogen-erupting revenge rampage after some drug pushers dope up her little sister.
Film god/geek Quentin Tarantino calls this "one of the most entertaining movies ever made". He ain't B.S.'n. This movie rules!
Shootouts, catfights, car chases...there is NEVER a dull moment. Oh and some guys like a surplus of female nudity. Believe me, you won't be let down. Plus this has Sid Haig! Not that he overshadows the Queen of Soul Cinema. She is electric. And voluptuous. And bad news for the bad guys.
Watch her unloading her shotgun in the pusher's face, driving her car through the dealer's front door, and of course boggling your mind when she strips off her wardrobe.
This ain't no B-movie. A must see. Thank you J.J.! September 22, 2008
| One of the Best Of The Blaxploitation Genre |
Technically this movie falls into a genre known as blaxploitation, low-budget films of the early 1970's with the main characters being played by black actors, but this movie was one of the higher quality films of the genre, and Coffy transformed Pam Grier into an international movie star.
Coffy comes together as a quality film because the character is so likeable, and a standard B-movie formulaic plot is transformed into a really good movie. This isn't Shakespeare or Masterpiece Theatre, just a fun, fast-paced movie with a lot of action, fast cars and a female heroine in the lead role, and a good script that leads to an ending that is worthy of the entire film.
