A Good Cup of Coffy    January 6, 2009
Space Opera (New Port Richey, FL USA)
"Coffy" like the product of a similar name is a guilty pleasure. We know it may be lacking nutritional value but we love it just the same. As a slice of the 1970's pop culture with bell bottoms and embarrassingly bizarre, flashy fashions it is an icon. The plot is comic bookie with cardboard bad guys set up to be mowed down but then there's Pam Grier. She's delicious and sweet with a powerful kick. Watch and enjoy.


Have A Cup    December 13, 2008

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.


One of the Best Of The Blaxploitation Genre    May 16, 2008

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.

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!

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.
