COFFY (1973)
by Nick (Omega Prophet Exposure Overlord) on Feb.06, 2010, under Baaadasss Blaxploitation Picks
Today’s Black History Month Blaxploitation pick is 1973’s COFFY, starring the voluptuous Pam Grier! This is a classic Jack Hill exploit flick. Jack Hill had a successful run of films (many starring Pam Grier & Sid “Captain Spalding” Haig) throughout the 60s & 70s; such as SPIDER BABY(1968), THE BIG DOLL HOUSE(1971), THE BIG BIRD CAGE(1972), FOXY BROWN(1974), & THE SWINGING CHEERLEADERS(1974).
Pam Grier is COFFY, a common nurse who’s kid sister happens to fall victim of a heroin overdose. Coffy hits the street with a vengeance; hunting down any pushers, pimps, or gangsters that cross her path! This one’s got it all! Shoot-outs, car chases, hoe brawls, sawed-off shotguns blasting domes, hidden hair razors, & King George(tha baddest pimp this side of the Mississippi)!
KING GEORGE! HE’S A PIMP!!
BRAWLING BROADS!!!
…Like most Blaxploitations, this one also has a classic soulful soundtrack. This one’s by the legendary Roy Ayers.
