Summary: Liquid hot magma
Comment: WHOA! The hottest of the hot. It's Coffy!
Blistering action, unbridled suspense, nerve-wracking energy, and an abundance of beautiful barenaked ladies. What more can you ask for?
Tough as nails, mad as a hornet, and as sexy as yours truly, Coffy embarks on a chaotic estrogen-erupting revenge rampage after some drug pushers dope up her little sister.
Film god/geek Quentin Tarantino calls this "one of the most entertaining movies ever made". He ain't B.S.'n. This movie rules!
Shootouts, catfights, car chases...there is NEVER a dull moment. Oh and some guys like a surplus of female nudity. Believe me, you won't be let down. Plus this has Sid Haig! Not that he overshadows the Queen of Soul Cinema. She is electric. And voluptuous. And bad news for the bad guys.
Watch her unloading her shotgun in the pusher's face, driving her car through the dealer's front door, and of course boggling your mind when she strips off her wardrobe.
This ain't no B-movie. A must see. Thank you J.J.!

Summary: One of the Best Of The Blaxploitation Genre
Comment: 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.

Summary: COFFY Rocks!
Comment: I loved it, but then again I love every action flick Pam Grier has ever done. She is one bad to bone female is this action packed film. You will be enthralled by this no-nonsense heroine. Check this out!

Summary: Killer Coffy
Comment: 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.
Customer Rating:
Summary: One vengeful sista'.
Comment: 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.

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 upand freaked outby 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 topthe very top. But what Coffy doesn't realize is that all is not as it seemsand that the leafy green behind the pushers' scene just may come from someone she knows!
