Audience Rating: R (Restricted) Binding: DVD EAN: 0026617823597 Format: Color, DVD-Video, NTSC Label: Beverly Wilshire Languages: Manufacturer: Beverly Wilshire Number Of Items: 1 Publisher: Beverly Wilshire Region Code: 1 Release Date: July 24, 2001 Running Time: 91 minutes Studio: Beverly Wilshire Theatrical Release Date: April 05, 1974 Editorial Review: Amazon.com essential video: Pam Grier, the voluptuous queen of blaxploitation movies (and the foxy title character of Quentin Tarantino's Jackie Brown) reigns supreme in this kick-ass action flick. Bodacious nurse Foxy takes the law into her own hands after her main squeeze is murdered in cold blood. The standard revenge plot of Foxy Brown moves along on fast-forward, and the violence ratio (some of it quite gruesome) is high. Director Jack Hill, a master of the low-budget drive-in movie (Switchblade Sisters), made Coffy with Pam Grier the year before. This one's not quite as much fun, but it is decidedly kinkier, and the parade of 1970s fashion crimes is mind expanding. At one crucial moment Foxy saves herself by pulling a concealed revolver out of her mighty Afro--absolutely one of the high points of blaxploitation cinema. --Robert Horton Average Rating:
 Rating: - Great buy, all the right reasons and a few moreI picked this up because I've always admired Pam Grier. For many years, even now one of the sexiest, most stunning women in films. This has always been my fav of her early films. Now that I own it I like it even better. The image and sound quality of the DVD are top-notch. Not blurred and scratchy like many films from the old American International library. The twenty five year old Pam takes your breath away in every scene. A big surprise for me was the commentary from director Jack Hill who ...

Not as fast paced and a bit uglier than say 'Coffy' but still well worth a look. Rating:  - Pam Grier kicks butt again.Pam is definitely hot and bad once again in this film title. She's taken down the mob along with some mean dudes. At the end, the white guy gets his pecker cut off with a big old 6 inch knife. And the way she gave his girlfriend that pickle jar with his anatomy in it was funny as hell. They really should have never killed Foxy's man and her brother. I'm really glad that Pam Grier's movies have finally been released on dvd where they belong. Rating:  - extreme disappointmentI bought this one because I saw Coffy before, which is quite entertaining, but this one is an extreme bore. Display of martial art in Coffy is completely lacking here. The story is tediuos and lacklustre. I don"t want to say more. Rating: - The 70's First *ORIGINAL* Female GangstaPam Grier was one of the great female actresses back in the 70's. She presents herself to us in her daring role "FOXY BROWN". The movie was very good. If you are a Pam Grier fan than you might want to check out Foxy Brown. |
