Coffy - 1973

What It Is: Pam Grier's precursor to Foxy Brown.

Why I Watched It: I found out Foxy Brown was written as a sequel to Coffy so I had to check out the original.

What I Thought: I should have just stayed with Foxy Brown.

The plots of both movies are so similar that almost everything I said about Foxy Brown will apply to Coffy as well. Bottom Line: Coffy is a less sexy version of Foxy Brown with acting that is much, much worse.

Highlights: None that go above and beyond Foxy Brown.

Who Should See It: Only die hard Grier fans or blaxploitation completionists, everyone else should just watch Foxy Brown.

How Soon: The movie's not going to get any better. Might get worse though.
