After her younger sister dies (offscreen) of a drug overdose, surgical nurse and one-woman vigilante army Pam Grier sets out to punish those she believes responsible for her sister's addiction. Masquerading as a for-hire call girl, Coffy infiltrates the supposed hierarchy of the city's dope and sex trade in what starts as vengeance for her sister but turns into a crusade to rid the city of all its filth, murdering all along the way, from a small-time pimp and drug dealer (who gets his head blown off shortly after the opening credits) to her congressman lover, who turns out to have a piece of the action as well and is as corrupt as the rest of the bunch. Despite the sober description, this is not an "important" film per se; actually, it's pretty trashy, but fascinating when trying to examine who this movie is made for. I guess we're supposed to root for Coffy as she goes on her murder spree, but, as her "good cop" friend (who naturally is murdered before the end of the first reel) explains to her, the drug problem is already widespread, and who is ultimately to blame? Factor in also that our heroine is also asked to disrobe a number of times for the camera and act very promiscuously, and that instead of the "black heroes" that this genre supposedly provided to the minority audiences, we mostly get pimps, dealers, addicts, chauffeurs :)... At the end, we see Coffy, having recently snuffed out her boyfriend and dejectedly thrown her trusty shotgun on the floor in front of him, walking down a beach alone, almost certain to be picked up by the cops eventually (though the closing credits song proclaim Coffy as "a shining symbol of black pride")...Read more ›

All of Pam Grier movies in the 70s, "Coffy" is the most famous. She deserves it; watch this movie, and you see what so-called blaxploitation films are all about.
The fast-paced "Coffy" starts with a dynamite opening, in which Pam's character Coffy lures her enemy into a nasty surprise, and she blows away poor fool's head with a shotgun literally. Then, her mission of eradicating drug racket goes on until a very bitter ending. There are actions, fighting, nudity, and battling girls at a party where Pam uses most unexpected weapon -- salad! Frankly they look rather bland by today's standard, but good soundtrack by Roy Ayres is still wonderful.
Probably the most interesting thing about "Coffy" is its gorgeous 70s fashion: music, clothes, and hairstyle. even if you find its story a little stale, you never get tired of watching dresses, glasses, hats, and everything -- they are so big! And surprising thing is that the film to certain extent reflects the political condition of those days (see how a black congressman address a speech about drug issues among Afro-Americans).
"Coffy" is one of the movies that set the style of the 70s. Those who are interested in that period should watch it (and the original "Shaft") once.

Though 'Coffy' wasn't exactly on American film critics' top 10 lists back in 1973, that didn't stop those who actually MATTER (average moviegoers) from flocking to the theater to see this surprisingly stylish action film which sky-rocketed Pam Grier's career and set the standard for which just about every subsequent blaxploitation film and every other female heroine would be compared. She commandeers the screen like no other actress ever has, whether she's got a double-barrelled shotgun under her arm, or sitting nude by a fireplace sipping champagne with her lover, or even when she's dropping the cheesy one-liners ("So you wanna play with knives, huh? Well, you picked the wrong player!") that this genre is known for.
This is the kind of movie anyone could like if they would just give it a shot. As the title character, Grier plays a nurse who works the night shift at a local hospital, and, haunted by her inability to keep her 11-year-old sister away from the lure of hard drugs, she has taken it upon herself to imprint her own brand of street justice on the lowlife criminals and dealers she comes across. But after killing the local pusher in the opening sequence, her thirst for revenge still isn't quenched, and when a police officer friend of her's is severely battered by some corrupt cops for not taking bribes, it sets her off on a one-woman mission to follow the trail of corruption to the very top of the mob hierarchy. And then put everyone involved on ice. It may be a sub-par set-up, but the incredible Pam Grier is so multi-faceted in the role, she makes it all so legendary.

A minor digression before I review "Coffy". I remember some 20 years ago Siskel and Ebert doing a special show on the state of black cinema. They cited Pam Grier as an example of talented black actors who were underutilized. Grier was a superstar in the niche career that she carved out in "blaxploitation" films. When she went mainstream in "Fort Apache-The Bronx" the best role they could give her was that of a strung-out murderous prostitute. It took some 15 years for a maverick director like Quentin Tarantino to recognize the qualities that Grier brought to the big screen with "Jackie Brown". As for "Coffy" itself, if you're looking for this film as a serious examination of the drug problem that had, and still does, a stranglehold on the inner city then look elsewhere. Outside of a perfunctory scene of Coffy(Grier) visiting her baby sister in re-hab there is little else in the film that would give you food for thought. "Coffy" is high camp. Outside of Coffy's cop friend most of the other characters are played over-the-top. The film also consists of a series of outrageous violent confrontations most memorable Coffy blowing the head off of a drug dealer with a double barrelled shotgun. The film also takes every possible opportunity to show off Grier's impressive attributes. Grier has a definite screen presence but she's not the polished actress here that she would later become. There's a certain stiltedness in some of her line deliveries. Bottom line, entertaining show. On a final note, Sid Haig who plays Omar the thug here would later portray a judge in "Jackie Brown".
