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.

“This is fun action sleaze from the classic era of drive-in  blaxploitation films, driven by the no-nonsense direction of Jack Hill,  and did well enough at the box office to help put the still-gorgeous Pam  Grier on the map. Don’t miss it.” – Jerry Renshaw, Austin Chronicle 

“As ever, Hill’s potent direction and Grier’s impressive screen presence bring this one home, and it was a hit.” –  Jeffrey M. Anderson, Combustible Celluloid
