Movie Reviews of Coffy
Movie Review: Have A Cup
Summary: 5 Stars
At some point in time, Mankind must have done something to really please the Lord coz he rewarded us with Pam Grier. Pam Grier-You know, that supercool, deadly chick that's hot as a Friday Night Fish Fry?
Well, she's never been better than she was in Coffy-her signature role. It's a rather simple revenge/vigilante type story. Coffy's a nurse and her younger sister has been all but destroyed by drug addiction, so Coffy becomes an Angel Of Death, blowing away drug pushers, pimps, Sid Haig, and other unpleasant folks. And of course looking great the whole time. It's easy for her to catch her targets off guard considering all of them are horny guys she can easily move in on. She starts working her way up the ladder and finds just how high this drug dealing thing goes.
Written and directed by Jack Hill(he did the awesome cult flick Spider Baby), this is easily one of the most entertaining films of the Blaxploitation era.....easily. Superviolent, supersexy, superfun, and all around just superentertaining.
Very highly recommended, especially if you want to see why Pam became the icon she is today.
Movie Review: One of the Best Of The Blaxploitation Genre
Summary: 5 Stars
This is one of my favorite movies. Coffy is a nurse by day and a vigilante by night, seeking revenge on the drug dealers who turned her twelve-year-old sister into a junkie.
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.
Movie Review: To call it "blaxploitation" is an insult
Summary: 5 Stars
You do this movie such an injustice by giving it silly trendy lables. Screw lables. The boobs and violence are only there because in that lifestyle there's plenty of both. Ya know what? This is how many cops and politicians operate folks - sorry, I didn't make it that way, they did. You'll find that the most unknown/unpopular movies often tell the truest stories...hmmmmmm I wonder why that is. It might take you a nanosecond to realize that movies that show the reality of our corrupt government are ridiculed with lables like "blaxploitation" so that many people will reject them sight unseen. Buy this movie, you won't regret it. It's exciting yet depressing, if you have enough sense to know this is how our "leaders" truly operate. And yes, they do. Deal with it.Movie Review: COFFY IS THE COLOR!!!!!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
SKIN AS SMOOTH AS VELVET. THIS IS ONE TOUGH WOMAN YOU DON'T WANT TO MESS WITH. THIS IS ANOTHER CLASSIC FROM PAM GRIER AND THIS IS A MUST HAVE FOR ANY FAN. I WOULD RECOMMEND ANYONE WHO LIKES BLAXPLOITAION FILMS TO BUY THIS VIDEO BECAUSE YOU WOULD DEFINITELY ENJOY THIS VIDEO. I LIKE THIS VIDEO IT IS GOOD, EXCITING, AND FULL OF ACTION. PAM ALWAYS DELIVERS A LOT OF ACTION WITH HER MOVIES I LIKE THIS ONE AS WELL SHE GETS EVEN WITH SOME PEOPLE BUT SHE STILL DOES IT IN A SLICK,SUAVE, AND PERFECT WAY AND LIKE ALWAYS SHE ALWAYS EVEN THE SCORE. IF YOU LIKE ACTION MOVIES, PAM GRIER, AND BLAXPLOITATION MOVIES THEN YOU WOULD DEFINITELY ENJOY THIS ONE IT IS A MUST HAVE FOR ANY PAM GRIER FAN.Movie Review: PAM GRIER IS FABULOUS!!!! A GODDESS!!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
This, together with "Foxy Brown", are my two favorite Pam Grier films. Pam Grier kicked butt on both films. Not only she is a great actress, she was and still today IS a total sex goddess!!!! "Coffy" always gets me in the end. After all these men used her, and abused her, after she gets her revenge, kills them all, and at the final scene, the picture of Pam walking alone at the beach, and the song, always gets me. There are times in our lives that in one way or another, we go thru that.
We get screwed over by lovers or people we thought were our friends....and we end up walking away alone, but not defeated.
Right On Coffy!
