Pam Grier est Coffy, infirmière le jour et justicière la nuit. Lorsqu’elle découvre qu’un dealer a entraîné sa jeune soeur dans l’univers impitoyable de la drogue, elle met non seulement fin à la misérable existence du criminel mais prend également la ferme résolution de suivre sa trace afin de remonter la filière. Peu à peu, Coffy se rend compte que les apparences sont trompeuses et que la vie est pleine d'imprévus. (MGM/United Artists)

Pam Grier is absolutely incredible here. On one hand, almost defenseless, on the other, dealing out death wherever possible. But the main thing is just the fact that she's incredibly hot. Her character is incredible and it's good that she wasn't afraid to show her assets. Even if the plot was stupid, which it isn't in this case, it would be worth seeing the film just for her.

Jackie Brown aside, this is probably Tarantino’s icon Pam Grier's most famous film (reaching a certain cult status in the US, see some overseas polls). Here, she’s a nurse who, after her younger sister overdoses on drugs, decides to put an end to the drug dealers in her town. Blaxploitation AF. 1970s atmosphere, a big black afro and stylish music accompany her journey of revenge, with a loaded shotgun, a blown brain here and there and some memorable scenes. There’s an unforgettable moment with a crazy car ride dragging a condemned man to death on a rope, and the magnificent battle between several women, when Grier hides razors in her afro and surprises her rival, who decides to pull her hair. I believe this film must have made Tarantino drool with joy.
