Coffy (1973)

I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

Thanks for the memories!

Such a frustrating disappointment

A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

When a nurses sister dies of an overdose, she goes on the hunt for the evildoers responsible. In a refreshing idea, the gang is black and white. Coffy gets her revenge, and it's a brutal one. Pam Grier, still lovely today, absolutely steals this movie.

Coffy is perhaps the epitome of Blaxploitation films. Coffy (Pam Grier) is a nurse who joins the mob as King George's (Robert DoQui) girlfriend as she enacts revenge against drug dealers whose victims she treats, including her sister.King George appears on the scene looking like Dolemite. Whack-a-da music abounds as does Pam Grier. Like one of the character's says, "I just want to get high and watch." A favorite film of drive-in movies. Includes a young Sid Haig and break away clothing cat fight.Guide: F-bomb, sex, ample nudity (Pam Grier, Lisa Farringer, Marilyn Joi, Peaches Jones plus others)

Coffy came as a real disappointment to me, as happening across it, in the DVD shop. It's a more colorful version of Foxy Brown, both films aren't much different from each other, though Foxy more sting and purpose in it's tail. Again our fine looking Grier, representing female independence, and it's never been stronger, is avenging someone close who O.D'd. And again like FB, we see a stable of beauties, including Rolling Thunder's Linda 'tomboy' Haynes, A 70'S actress seen in far and sadly very few films. Coffy, a nurse, is out to infiltrate the drug cartels that take her on that same ride going undercover as a pro. Coffy's one good asset, is King George, his title song and lyrics, 31 minutes into the film as he makes his grand entrance, which too is hilarious, is hilarious. Coffy does have it's moments, one or two surprises, plus a good performance from an old 'Mash' identity, but I was sold short with this one. Could of been better.

Coffy (Pam Grier) is a nurse by day and avenging sexy woman at night. Coffy is bringing justice for the drug pushers, who nearly killed her young sister (Karen Williams) on drug abuse and beating up badly her police friend (William Elliot). She becomes an one-woman war on organized crime on Los Angeles.Written and Directed by Jack Hill (The Big Doll House, The Big Bird Cage, Foxy Brown) made an entertaining, action-thriller with sense of humour. Grier is fun to watch as the title character, she has some great dialogue and of course, she has an great body (Which she does appear topless at times). It is amusing to see Robert DoQui, who is best known for the "RoboCop Trilogy" as a pimp! and Sid Haig (House of 1000 Corpses and The Devil's Rejects) as a low-life criminal.DVD has an fine non-anamorphic Widescreen (1.85:1) transfer and an decent Dolby Digital 2.0 Mono Sound. DVD has an fairly interesting commentary by the writer/director of the film and original theatrical trailer is also included. "Coffy" was an big hit back in 1973. Grier is certainly one of the sexy black woman's out there, certainly back in the 1970's, she was absolutely stunning. "Coffy" does have some flaws but it is an trashy enjoyable action flick to watch. (*** ½/*****).
