Summary: Pam Grier is the reason I saw this film
Review: Pam Grier is very sexy as Foxy Brown but overall the movie is a stinker.

That's all I got to say other then the plot stinks and that Pam is the only reason I give this flick 3 stars. It's pretty much a revenge movie that's it and it's a very dumb one too(no offense)

By the way sadly they are remaking this film and is set to come out 05 and rumors say that Hallie Barry will play as Foxy..oh poop..

3 stars..

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Pam at her best
Review: She's as sexy as she is streetwise. Pam Grier truly kicks ... in this classic 1974 blaxploitation film. She's back this time ready to crush the mobsters responsible for her boyfriend and brother's deaths. It takes some undercover prostituting under the direction of Miss Katherine for Foxy to get even. The climax toward the end is hilarious! Without giving it away, Foxy "cuts" those mobsters down to size. This is my favorite Pam Grier movie and hopefully it will become yours,too. A must see.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Take it for what it is
Review: The reviewer who thought this was a movie about a current singer either is pulling our leg or is dumber than a post. Just look at the cover. Probably, they are too young to recognize it as one of the classic blaxploitation movies of the 70s. Of course the acting is terrible, the dialogue lame and the plot is weak. They were supposed to be. After all, these movies were made on a production budget of $23.56. Any movie that provides a means of getting Pam Grier out of her clothes as often as possible is sufficient validation for anything. (In this regard, see Pam's 1973 Coffy).

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: She's a whole lotta woman!!!
Review: This is a cool movie to watch. I'm a huge Pam Grier fan, and granted the movie is an old one, Foxy was B.A.D!!! Girlfriend could handle her business. Foxy is having to bail her brother Linc out of trouble, and she wants to avenge the death of her man. She keeps telling Linc he needs to have some ambition. She really loved her brother despite his behavior. My favorite scene in the movie was when Linc said the following: "I"m a Blackman, I don't know how to sing, I don't know how to dance, I don't know how to preach to no congregation. I'm too small to be a football hero, and too ugly to be elected mayor. When I see the homes they live in, and the cars they drive I get full of ambition". I could not help but focus on what he said, because I know plenty of black men who still think that way now!!! Foxy will not let anyone get in the way of her quest for revenge and anyone who does, they better watch out because they will be sorry. Foxy goes undercover as a prostitute to find out the people responsible for the murders are the madam she is working for, her pretty boy, philandering, and racist boyfriend. The number 2 in charge, and two sadistic, incompetent henchmen. It was fun to see the funky outfits from back in the day, and this movie is full of action.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: unbelievable
Review: This is an unbelievable movie. You must see it to believe it. Precurser of Pulp Fiction, Jackie Brown, and Kill Bill. Rough. Imaginative, manic plot shifts from slapstick to murder to melodrama to mutilation to sex to drugs to catfights to family problems to ... well, just about everything. You enter a different world. Great clashing seventies' colors and hairstyles and music. Unbelievable!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Bodacious
Review: This movie flat rocks. I love Black explotation movies, and this one is near the top. Pam Grier has so much sex apeal and attitude
she takes over this movie like a run away train. Loads of fun.

Rating: 5 stars
