Pam Grier shines

kyotesummer from , 17th July, 2010

Standard Blaxploitation film, which is easy to watch. Pam Grier is stunning as Foxy. Whilst this is not a masterpice of cinematography, within this genre it truly is a gem. And any Pam Grier fans will surely love this film.

Dig it brother!

Roguestar from , 24th April, 2009

I can dig it! Even though shallow emotion appears to made of a traumatic event like a ‘death’ (which is why I dropped the star rating), this low budget movie is a captivating little piece from the 70’s Blaxploitation era that outshines many big budget movies produced in hollywoodland even today. I won’t ruin the plot but let’s say - drugs, undercover brothers, vigilantes - the man - chopper motorcycles - chicks dishing out the justice - the street fighting is raw and almost ordinary (which is what real fights in the street look like) with the plot taken to a great ending that’s Foxy Brown. And from a hetro-male point of view - to see the beautiful Pam Grier naked has to be worth every penny of the rental.

Blaxploitation classic

A Customer from Bristol, 17th April, 2009

Stylish entertaining and influential romp that more than ticks the boxes. Not as good as Jack Hill and Pam Grier's previous film 'Coffy' but great nonetheless.

Strictly for the Blaxploitation Crowd

Jordan Sadler from Ipswich, England, 10th March, 2007

Sleazy blaxploitation film from the 70s that's built around big busted Pam Grier as Foxy Brown knocking you over with her brown sugar and spice. It's writer-director Jack Hill's follow-up to his commercially successful Coffy, which also featured Pam. Foxy lacks the fine subversive quality of the other film, instead it resorts to being an uninteresting revenge film with plenty of violence and cheap thrills aimed at satisfying its mostly black audience. All the whites featured are either bigots, whores or vile criminals. Pam proves to be up for the role's physicality, looks hot in every tacky outfit she adorns, handles a gun like a pro, curses with the best of 'em, can drive a Cadillac Sedan de Ville as if it were a lethal weapon and still shines as a desirable sex symbol. This one is strictly for the blaxploitation crowd and fans of Pam.

good entertainment

good entertainment,well worth a watch.

Another classic blaxploitation outing

johnny_friendly from London, England, 7th May, 2006

Blaxploitation movies often get a bad rap from chin-stroking types who judge them against standard cinematic masterpieces like Citizen Kane etc. That's the problem with consensus - films are judged by a single yardstick instead of on their individual merits. Blaxploitation is one such genre which has suffered from this approach and is one that needs to be appreciated on its own terms. By that measure, Foxy Brown is an outstanding success - super-iconic Pam Grier plays her characteristic tough-black chick dishing out rough justice to all manner of low-lifes. Solid '70s production values, tight narrative, never slow or lagging and at the same time, a sound portrait of where Black America was at psychically in 1974. And didn't women's fashions totally rule back then?

Low Budget Garbage.

A Customer from Cheltenham, 29th March, 2006

Aweful script, dreadful acting and a woeful plot. Don't waste a rental on this crap.

Foxy Pam

A Customer from Billericay, England, 25th March, 2005

Typical Blaxploitation movie from the early 70s with a gutsy perfomance by Pam Greer in this gritty film. Check out Coffy

A fabulous movie!

S Williams from London, England, 25th February, 2005

Pam Greer is fantastic as Foxy Brown. This is a great example of blaxploitation. There is so much action it does keep you hooked and you want to know what is going to happen next. Great movie!

Don't mess aroun' with Foxy Brown!

Clucky from Cardiff, Wales, 11th January, 2005

Pam Grier poses as a hooker to get to the man who killed her undercover cop boyfriend Michael (Terry Carter) who despite facial surgery, is betrayed by Foxy?s drug-dealing brother Link (Antonio Fargas). Originally penned as a sequel to Coffy, Foxy Brown is more outrageous and loosely structured than its predecessor but continues the revenge motive. This is an enjoyable and over-the-top piece of blaxploitation complete with colourful costumes, snippy one liners and possibly the world?s finest lesbian bar fight! If you don?t enjoy B-movies then give this one a miss but fans of the genre won?t be disappointed by this offering from Jack Hill. 3 out of 5
