There's plenty of sex, a catty girl-fight that leaves the losers topless, and car chases and shootouts galore, but what makes Coffy a blaxploitation classic is Grier's Amazonian presence and fiery charisma, and the gritty, low-budget action scenes marked by visceral, wincing violence. Mob strong-arm Sid Haig (Spider Baby) cackles while dragging his victim (a strutting peacock pimp played by Nashville's Robert DoQui) behind a speeding car in a sadistic lynching, and Grier runs down one bad guy with a speeding car and takes care of another with a shotgun to the groin. Hill had previously directed Grier in The Big Doll House and The Big Bird Cage. Their next and last picture together, Foxy Brown, was originally written as the sequel to Coffy. --Sean Axmaker

Customer Reviews of Coffy
Killer Coffy All the good I'd read about this flick is true. This one really smokes. Great action/ fight scenes and Pam Grier is one helluva woman. Highly recommended.
One vengeful sista'.
Pam Grier was one tough cookie in this classic 70's drama. I wouldn't have wanted her to come looking for me if i was a drug dealer. The way she blew that pimp's face off with that shot gun early on in the movie was real gangsta. Boy, somebody shouldn't have never gave her little sister drugs. This is if not her best movie in my opinion. I also loved Foxy Brown and Friday Foster as well.
