She's brown sugar and spice...and if you don't watch it, she'll put you on ice! Delivering a performance worthy of "the Queen of the genre" (Los Angeles Times), Grier portrays one of the screens first action heroines with humor, sensitivity and steely determination. This electrifying revenge thriller explodes with all the sex appeal and cooler-than-cool attitude of its irresistible leading lady. Foxy Brown (Grier) has found her soulmate in an undercover narcotics investigator, but when he is brutally murdered, she swears vengeance against the crime ring responsible. Posing asa call girl to gain access to the ring's inner circle, Foxy discovers just how high the corruption extends, igniting a blistering war that takes her from the city streets to a remote drug laboratory to a breathtaking midair battle behind the controls of an airplane! But the most startling confrontations are yet to come as she schemes to bring down her boyfriend's killers in ways they never could have imagined.

Pam Grier, the voluptuous queen of blaxploitation movies (and the foxy title character of Quentin Tarantino's Jackie Brown) reigns supreme in this kick-ass action flick. Bodacious nurse Foxy takes the law into her own hands after her main squeeze is murdered in cold blood. The standard revenge plot of Foxy Brown moves along on fast-forward, and the violence ratio (some of it quite gruesome) is high. Director Jack Hill, a master of the low-budget drive-in movie (Switchblade Sisters), made Coffy with Pam Grier the year before. This one's not quite as much fun, but it is decidedly kinkier, and the parade of 1970s fashion crimes is mind expanding. At one crucial moment Foxy saves herself by pulling a concealed revolver out of her mighty Afro--absolutely one of the high points of blaxploitation cinema. --Robert Horton

The image and sound quality of the DVD are top-notch. This has always been my fav of her early films. Now that I own it I like it even better. Above all the wonderful acting and beautiful presence of Pam Grier makes this flick more then just a fond memory from my teenage days.
Hill's informative comments gave me a new understanding of how and why these films were made and sold. Mr. Not blurred and scratchy like many films from the old American International library. A big surprise for me was the commentary from director Jack Hill who like many film makers of the 70s came under harsh criticism for making the so called blaxplotation movies.(the films were accused of negatively portraying afro-americans,and targeting black audiences when they were largely produced, directed and written by whites).
For many years, even now one of the sexiest, most stunning women in films. I picked this up because I've always admired Pam Grier. The twenty five year old Pam takes your breath away in every scene.

There's some real baddies who deserve everything they get in this blaxploitation classic and who better to dish it out than super foxy Pam Grier and friends. Not as fast paced and a bit uglier than say 'Coffy' but still well worth a look.

I'm really glad that Pam Grier's movies have finally been released on dvd where they belong. She's taken down the mob along with some mean dudes. At the end, the white guy gets his pecker cut off with a big old 6 inch knife. They really should have never killed Foxy's man and her brother. Pam is definitely hot and bad once again in this film title. And the way she gave his girlfriend that pickle jar with his anatomy in it was funny as hell.

Display of martial art in Coffy is completely lacking here. I don"t want to say more. I bought this one because I saw Coffy before, which is quite entertaining, but this one is an extreme bore. The story is tediuos and lacklustre.

She presents herself to us in her daring role "FOXY BROWN". If you are a Pam Grier fan than you might want to check out Foxy Brown. Pam Grier was one of the great female actresses back in the 70's. The movie was very good.
