Absolutely brilliant.


Brilliant. Everything from the music, down to Grier's performance, the costumes, Sid Haig, Allan Arbus. Brilliant. "George, George, George..." :-).

George Washington was in a cult, and the cult was into aliens, man. (Dazed and Confused)

I love this movie, the music, the action and other stuff is so great. A blaxploitation classic!

Indeed, now here's a movie that will knock you back, it's action packed and you don't know what to expect when you first go into it. It's a cult classic and can't be touched and shouldn't be touched for a remake...I don't care what people say about Lovely but Deadly...or was it Deadly but Lovely...I don't care, I don't buy the story that that's a remake of Coffy.

I caught this on TCM Underground a while back, and I have to say that I agree. I love this movie.

Oh yeah, me too, me too, I just love it when she pulls the shotgun on Sugar Man and says "This is the end of your rotten life you motherf^cking dope pusher" then blows his head off and corners Grover and says "It was easy for him because he really didn't think it was coming, but it ain't gonna be easy for you cuz you'd better BELIEVE it's coming".

They just DON'T make the heroines like they used to.

The storyline, wardrobe, the music-I loved it all! Very entertaining film. Pam Grier is the best!

"Why... so... serious?"

Yes she is, you just can't outdo a classy lady like that.

For me it's THE best action movie ever made!

'Coffy' is awesome! I find the the atmosphere, the revenge aspect and the violence in this film is much more disturbing than 'Foxy Brown'—much rawer and grittier. There is one sequence that frustrates me though towards the end; when she shoots one of the bad guys in a swimming pool with a shotgun—there is no blood and this cheapens the effect, considering the rest of the violence and action sequences have a fairly strong impact.

wow, I just caught this a true classic, highly recommended.

I agree Coffy is awesome. Plus Pam Grier wow what a body.

Great music, great action, great to 'look at', but lousy story.

Those coincidences just kept on a-coming.
