Movie Reviews of Foxy Brown
Movie Review: Less Enjoyable Than "Coffy"
Summary: 2 Stars
What seemed to have worked so well in "Coffy" just doesn't here. Yes, we get to see Pam Grier, and she's fine, but the script just doesn't give her a whole lot to do. Furthermore, the villain in this one just isn't scary, with her overwrought lines and lame "I'm in charge" banter; the sleazeball from "Coffy" was better because we didn't know exactly how the chips were going to fall until the very end. That tension is missing here, save for one scene where Grier is tortured and abandoned in a gruesome way. We actually get to feel a little tension.
However, I still feel that this below-average "follow-up" is more than a little disappointing, especially since "Coffy" really set a high bar, with a great cast driven by a lot of exciting dialogue and plot twists. See this only if you just need to watch another Grier vehicle because it's just not as good.
Movie Review: Disappointing......
Summary: 2 Stars
Jack Hill's Foxy Brown isn't a sly piece of filmmaking. Hill's cartoonish screenplay gives Pam Grier nothing to work with in this cheesy revenge yarn that's more about skin instead of substance. She wants revenge for the murder of her boyfriend by the syndicate and will do anything to get the satisfaction of retribution. Almost every one of the paper-thin characters is just there for her to kill, maim, or injure. The film goes from campy to downright silly when a henchman gets ground up by an airplane propeller and the absurdity reaches a climax when Foxy pulls a pistol out of her Afro. Ugh! To see Pam do this right, get Coffy or the far superior Jackie Brown. And avoid the Halle Berry remake coming up. That's going to be a funky piece of Gorgonzola too.Movie Review: I LOVE PAM, BUT......

Once again, a TERRIBLE DVD!! The movie is A CLASSIC, and like the 'Coffy' DVD, you don't get your money's worth.You DO get 'MONO SOUND' with this DVD, and I was hoping for a 'surround sound' experience when I bought this disc.If I were you, I would AVOID ALL OF THESE 'SOUL CINEMA' DVDS, because they don't give you a full 5.1 Digital transfer, or any 'DVD Bonus Features lke interviews, etc.Save your money, and either buy the VHS tape, or wait for better DVDS.I gave this DVD 2 stars just because Pam was involved, otherwise it would get 1 star!!!Movie Review: Foxy Brown

Wow, What a bad movie. The acting is horrible, and the fight scenes are totally fake. You can see the swinging arms clearly missing the targets but the victim winces in pain none the less. They must be wincing at what they know the audiences will see. The plot has unique twists, with a lot of cutting edge interracial scenes, but that doesn't do much to raise the movie to any serious level of quality acting or production.
This is a bomb and I wouldn't recommend this one to a jail full of men who haven't seen a woman in years.
Movie Review: She's Foxy.. but the movie stinks..

I snuck into a theatre to see this movie when it came out.. so when I saw it for sale..I thought I had to have it.. Upon further review.. this is simply is an awful movie! The limited times that Pam takes off her shirt almost makes it worth the price.. but not really. There were good movies made in this time period, but this is not one of them. What a shame that Pam's talents were wasted on this blaxpoitation crap.. she should have been a huge star.
