Seeking to avenge the death of her government-agent man at the hands of some drug-syndicate thugs, Foxy Brown poses as a prostitute to get close to the owners of a shady modeling agency behind his murder. The “one-chick hit squad” unleashes all kinds of bloodletting — using fists, knives, guns, and, on one suspiciously slow-moving villain, an airplane propeller — all while delivering quips that would do Ahnuld proud (standing over a girl who warned of her black belt in karate: “And I got a black belt in barstools!”). Drawing upon her considerable magnetism (and a rural-youth familiarity with basic weapon-handling), Pam Grier makes the most of a convention-shattering role in a genre-defining movie that, 25 years later, led Quentin Tarantino to write Jackie Brown specifically for her.
INTERESTING FACT: Foxy Brown was originally conceived as a sequel to the 1973 blaxploitation hit Coffy (which was the third film in which Grier worked with director Jack Hill) and was to be titled Burn, Coffy, Burn!
