It's clear that Quentin Tarantino is a huge fan: he cast Grier in the title role of his direct homage Jackie Brown, while the one-woman revenge scenario that fuelled the Kill Bill films didn't just come from the Far East. When Foxy Brown's undercover-agent boyfriend is gunned down on the orders of evil drug kingpins, she stops at nothing to exact a thrillingly brutal revenge. This is one of the all-time great blaxploitation films, pulling out all the stops at a time long before anyone thought of inventing political correctness. Pam Grier was given the role of a lifetime... as the street-smart yet intensely sexy Foxy, modelling a stupendously varied range of Seventies threads while righteously kicking villainous white butt at every opportunity. She's also given sterling support from Antonio 'Huggy Bear'Fargas as her no-good younger brother and a memorably funky soundtrack.

Seventies auteur Jack Hill directs the equally renowned Pam Grier in this Blaxploitation thriller. When her undercover detective boyfriend (Terry Carter) is murdered by the mob, Foxy Brown (Pam Grier) sets out for revenge. With the help of her drug addict brother (Antonio Vargas), she poses as a prostitute in order to infiltrate the crime ring.
Please note this is a region B Blu-ray and will require a region B or region free Blu-ray player in order to play. This hip, violent, fast-moving film firmly established Pam Grier as the goddess of Blaxploitation. She plays Foxy, a toughened woman living in a drug-plagued L.A. ghetto who goes on a one woman mission of vengeance after her undercover cop boyfriend (Terry Carter) is shot down in the street. The badass lass goes undercover herself, as a call girl for the evil mistress of the drug cartel (Kathryn Loder), and with the help of a neighbourhood vigilante committee, wreaks some hell on the bad guys. Chock full of sex, nudity and rampant violence, this is certainly not for children, baby. Highlights include a lesbian bar brawl and Foxy's sexual belittling of an old white judge. Co-stars include Antonio Fargas, Sid Haig, and Sally-Ann Stroud. Don't miss the crazily coloured opening credits, which feature Grier boogying down in all sorts of super-sexy outfits to the Willie Hutch title track (Hutch also composed the groovy funk score). This was directed by cult icon Jack Hill, who also scored with Grier in the similar COFFY released the previous year.
