Coffy (1973) 8/10

I'm ashamed to say it, but this is the first Blaxploitation film I've ever seen. I know, I know being such a cult film fan I've seen nunsploitation, tons of kung fu, sexploitation, nazisploitation, but never blaxploitation. I don't know why really, I guess I always thought i'd get around to it. Well, today is the day.

Coffy Stars Pam Grier in her first leading role. She plays Coffy (obviously), and she's a doctor by day and an ass kicker by night. When her little sister gets hooked on smack she decides to get justice, vigilante style. She gets inside the local drug syndicate posing as a prostitute, and brings them down from within. Awesome.

I'm totally impressed by this movie. In the first ten minutes Coffy has already blown a guy's head off with a sawed off shot gun and given a junkie a lethal dose of junk. At that point I was already sold. The film goes on to keep up the violent pace with nudity and sex and explicit profanity sprinkled througout. Back in '73 it wasn't common for any film to have strong language so the actors scream their four letters, feeling liberated each time the foulness spills forth.

All in all the film is fast paced, (especially for being almost 35 years old!) violent, and fun. I feel like i'm the last guy on earth to see this, but if you haven't check it out yet, make it a priority...fool.

Gore - Surprisingly, some
Nudity- some, and yes you get to see pam grier
Overall - 8/10 SUCKA!
