- Synopsis:
She's the ultimate tough and sexy heroine. She's Soul Cinema superstar Pam Grier, and whether delivering her justice with a shotgun, a razor or just her bare hands, she doesn't miss a beat in this smashing, no-holds barred tale of retaliation! Nobody ever commandeered the screen quite like Pam Grier...and Coffy couldn't be better! It's one of the most entertaining movies ever made! Grier is Coffy, nurse by day and avenging angel by night. When she discovers that her little sister has been doped up - and freaked out - by a greedy drug pusher, she not only puts an end to his miserable days, but she vows to follow his trail of corruption up to the top - the very top. But what Coffy doesn't realise is that all is not as it seems - and that the leafy green behind the pushers' scene just may come from someone she knows! - Actors:

Shotgun Chic and Street-Level Justice - Coffy review by griggs
Pam Grier is pure movie-star electricity here — funny, fierce, sexy, and completely in control. The film has that scrappy, pulpy momentum that carries you along even while it’s laying bare how neatly drugs, racism, violence, and corruption prop each other up. My one gripe: too many women clawing at each other when the real target is obviously the patriarchy. Still, this absolutely rips.
