Coffy
"A big hit [for] the queen of the genre!" -Los Angeles Times
She's the ultimate tough and sexy heroine. She's Soul Cinema superstar Pam Grier, and whether delivering her justice with a shotgun, a razor or just her bare hands, she doesn't miss a beat in this "smashing, no-holds-barred tale of retaliation" (Variety)! Nobody ever commandeered the screen quite like Pam Grier, and Coffy "couldn't be better! [It's] one of the most entertaining movies ever made" (Quentin Tarantino)!
Grier is Coffy, nurse by day and avenging angel by night. When she discovers that her little sister has been doped up -- and freaked out -- by a greedy drug pusher, she not only puts an end to his miserable days, but she vows to follow his trail of corruption up to the top -- the very top. But what Coffy doesn't realize is that all is not as it seems -- and that the leafy green behind the pushers' scene just may come from someone she knows!

Pam Grier rules! - smah100
Love love love the old 70s blaxploitation films and Pam Grier is at her second best (next to Foxy Brown) in Coffy. Very influential film...inspired a whole slew of directors including Quentin Tarantino. Lookin' forward to watching some more blaxploitation flicks like Sheba, baby!!!Bad, Real Bad, But So Good - Jimmy_Jam
The female version of Shaft. She is sexy, her weapon of choice is a shotgun, and her mission is revenge on just about every male that ever messed with her. Great production values for a supposed "grindhouse" film. Plus, it is a great watch and hugely influential. Although Coffy is pure 70's (even to the point of being campy), it is more entertaining than 90% of today's films.
