Micitype Pretty Good

Verity Robins Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

Michael Ledo This is a typical Pam Grier film. Antonio Fargus plays her hustler brother who gets her boyfriend killed by drug dealers. Pam plays the prostitute to go undercover and get the bad guys.This was the era a whack-a-da music, wide lapels, chrome bumpers, screeching tires, and loud carburetors. Pam gets in some good lines as a prostitute. Very politically incorrect language by today's standards.Guide: F-bomb, sex, implied rape, nudity (Pam Grier, Sharon Kelly, Sally Ann Stroud + others)

BA_Harrison Director Jack Hill's Foxy Brown was originally intended as a sequel to his cult classic Coffy (1973), which also starred voluptuous black babe Pam Grier in serious revenge mode. Which film you prefer will depend entirely on what you expect most from the blaxploitation genre—gritty violence or shameless fun—with Foxy Brown leaning towards the lighter side of things, while Coffy is a much rougher affair. Since I like my blaxploitation films to have a more raw, exploitative edge, I rate Coffy higher than Foxy, but that's not to say I didn't have a good time with this funky follow-up.The film opens as Foxy (Grier) is about to start a new life with her supposedly dead undercover cop boyfriend Dalton (Terry Carter), who has just undergone face-change surgery to complete his new identity as Michael Anderson. Unfortunately, Foxy's drug-pusher brother Link (Antonio Fargas) realises the truth about Dalton/Michael and sells him out to the mobsters, who proceed to gun him down. More than a little upset, Foxy goes undercover as an escort girl to seek revenge. What follows is shameless trash, complete with a kitschy lesbian bar brawl, a redneck rapist, an evil honky mobster bitch (Kathryn Loder), a bit-part for Hill regular Sid Haig, and a fair amount of nudity from its beautiful buxom star.6.5 out of 10, rounded up to 7 for the airplane propeller death scene.

tomgillespie2002 After the huge success of Coffy (1973), American International Pictures wanted more blaxploitation, namely in the form of Pam Grier's sexy, female empowered ass-kicker. Coffy made Grier an overnight star, but not wanting to make a sequel after seeing a few sequels of other franchises fail at the box-office, they hastily re-wrote the script for Burn, Coffy, Burn!, and created Foxy Brown. They kept writer and director Jack Hill, and made a film about basically the same character. Yet Coffy and Foxy Brown are arguably as popular and as iconic as each other - Foxy maybe even more so - and this is mainly due to Foxy Brown being a pretty decent film, despite familiar plotting and genre tropes.When her boyfriend is gunned down by a bunch of gangsters, Foxy Brown goes undercover to infiltrate a prostitute ring posing as a modelling agency. Her dead-beat brother Link (the amazing Antonio Fargas) tells Foxy that the group - led by strange and kinky couple Steve (Peter Brown) and Miss Katherine (Kathryn Loder) - are the people responsible. Violence, drugs and explosions soon follow as Foxy pursues her thirst for vengeance, and helps fellow black woman Claudia (Juanita Brown) to escape a life on the game,It's a revenge premise seen a thousand times before, but Foxy Brown is often a blast. Grindhouse trailers often dazzle and confuse us with endless action scenes and violence promising a wonderful experience, only to submit us to 90 torturous minutes of amateurish crap. Yet Foxy Brown certainly delivers on its promises. It's noticeably more violent than other blaxploitation films, with Jack Hill's wit surprisingly shining through moments of forced heroin addiction and pickled cock. But it's Pam Grier that steals the movie, pulling guns out of her 'afro and simply being 'a whooooole lotta woman!' (as recognised by her own brother) throughout, displaying the charisma that would make her a 70's icon. It doesn't break any boundaries, even by action standards, and there are certain plot holes you have to try and ignore (what does Foxy Brown actually do?), but it's 95 minutes of solid exploitation fare.www.the-wrath-of-blog.blogspot.com

Michael_Elliott Foxy Brown (1974) *** (out of 4) Enjoyable, over the top blaxploitation classic about Foxy Brown (Pam Grier), a woman who seeks revenge on the evil white people who killed her fiancé. This is an incredibly silly, racist and over the top film but I really enjoyed it. The performances are beyond bad but Grier still has a style that's able to carry the film and her nude scenes aren't too bad. The violence is so crazy that you can't help but laugh. The stereotypes also get major laughs especially one politically incorrect scene where Foxy enters a lesbian bar and fights some "manly" women.
