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.

Summary: Great buy, all the right reasons and a few more
Comment: I picked this up because I've always admired Pam Grier. For many years, even now one of the sexiest, most stunning women in films. This has always been my fav of her early films. Now that I own it I like it even better. The image and sound quality of the DVD are top-notch. Not blurred and scratchy like many films from the old American International library. The twenty five year old Pam takes your breath away in every scene. 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.) Mr. Hill's informative comments gave me a new understanding of how and why these films were made and sold. Above all the wonderful acting and beautiful presence of Pam Grier makes this flick more then just a fond memory from my teenage days.

Summary: Foxy Brown Super Grit
Comment: 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.

Summary: Pam Grier kicks butt again.
Comment: Pam is definitely hot and bad once again in this film title. 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. And the way she gave his girlfriend that pickle jar with his anatomy in it was funny as hell. They really should have never killed Foxy's man and her brother. I'm really glad that Pam Grier's movies have finally been released on dvd where they belong.
Customer Rating:
Summary: extreme disappointment
Comment: I bought this one because I saw Coffy before, which is quite entertaining, but this one is an extreme bore. Display of martial art in Coffy is completely lacking here. The story is tediuos and lacklustre. I don"t want to say more.

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