Directed by Jack Hill
Starring Pam Grier, Antonio Fargas, Kathryn Loder, Juanita Brown

Sex Goddess Pam Grier is a “whole lot of woman” Foxy Brown, seeking sweet revenge on a slimy Madam, in the trashiest, most lurid, and most ’70s Mod of the movies that elevated her from studio switchboard operator to Queen of the AIP lot — a mélange of sex, dope, violence, bondage, lesbian bar-brawling, fratri-mutilation, fancy tongue work, and Black activism. Not to mention that pickle jar.
Reviews
“Pam Grier, who can handle a lover, a gun, a car, a plane, four-letter language and her enemies with ease, again emerges victorious over mobsters, a bigtime madam, pimps and rapists.”
– A.H. Weiler, The New York Times
“Grier is an actress able to convey an amazing and unflinching strength.”
