User Review

Coffy introduced the world to the wonderful Pam Grier. It's no surprise that, riding the wave of such success, Pam starred in several more blaxploitation films. The next was Foxy Brown, directed by the same Jack Hill. I don't know about everyone else, but I liked it a little more than Coffy, so this review will focus on that film.

The plot is almost identical: Greer's character embarks on a path of revenge for her wronged relatives, only in Coffy it was her drug-addicted sister, and here it is her lover, a police officer, who was turned over to gangsters by Foxy's brother because of his debts. Otherwise, the films are similar. As in Coffy, the heroine Greer is captured at one point, but she escapes. As in Coffy, there is an excellent soundtrack, fights, and shootouts. And, as in Coffy, the talented actor Sid Haig is involved, although his role here is noticeably smaller.

On the other hand, the action scenes here are brighter and more confidently staged; Hill has, so to speak, “gained experience,” because the budget is the same, but the progress is visible. Oh yes, again, as in Coffy, there is a female fight here, but there, a similar scene looked brighter due to the blades in the hair and the fact that here the participants in the fight are somewhat manly, while in Coffy it is a classic “cat fight.” The special effects are limited mainly to shootouts, but, as I already noted, they are filmed more confidently, plus there is an action scene with an airplane.

As for Foxy Brown herself, she is no longer as impulsive as Coffy. She is more calculating, more inventive, and more sophisticated. Greer once again gave an excellent performance. As for the other actors, there's not much to say — their performances are ordinary, without any frills. Apart from Pam, the only other notable performance is that of Heig. The main villains (a drug dealer who resembles a female white version of James Earl Jones and her boyfriend) turned out to be somewhat sluggish, but not hopeless, while their henchmen played more vividly.

Well, what else is there to mention? I don't even know. Everything seems to be in place, nothing is out of place. There's nothing more to say except to thank the spectacular Pam Grier, who has long been an icon of grindhouse and blaxploitation films. And if Coffy made her that, then Foxy Brown cemented it.
