Plot: Writer-director Jack Hill (Spider Baby, Switchblade Sisters) managed to beat Death Wish to the screens by a year with this violent tale of a citizen touched by crime and deciding to fight back. Her little 11-year old sister is a hopeless addict, the police can't help, and poor Nurse Coffy Coffin (Pam Grier) has no choice but to take the law into her own hands. Posing as a Jamaican prostitute, Coffy infiltrates the lairs of pimp King George (Robert DoQui) and kingpin pusher Vitroni (Allan Arbus). Eventually, after her childhood sweetheart is beaten into a coma and she finds out her politician-lover (Booker Bradshaw) is involved, Coffy kills everyone with a shotgun. However, by having a black woman named Coffy get injected with a sugar mixture (the crooks think it's heroin), one can only imagine the filmmakers cackling about Coffy with cream and sugar. In fact, the original ad line promised Coffy...she'll cream you! ~ Robert Firsching, All Movie Guide

simple plot
Added 6/15/2009

not much of a story, plot is very basic. Pam Grier makes it three stars for her pretty face and hot body, which you get a few peeks at in the movie. I would just wait for it to come on tv and watch it, unless you can find it for a few bucks,

Coffy
Added 6/6/2009

Coffy, Sexy Pam Grier is in this Blaxploitation film, which has all the matters of the time and the circumstances, Action Packed, Coffy(Pam) is Seductive and sexy and in her prime, One of the Best If not the Best Pam Grier movies, There is alot of sick criminals in this film and violence not recommended and certainly behavior I do not condone, But it's a Movie, It has a Gruesome part where a Man Who had information leading to Pam to find her Little sis, He get's his head blown off, and the End will shock you. Excellent yet sadly small part of a Green 70-72 style Corvette Roadster w/period wheels is shown.also Pam is seen nude in the movie.and there is a hot cat fight.Cool Soundtrack too.I have the Vhs Video!

A Good Cup of Coffy
Added 1/6/2009

"Coffy" like the product of a similar name is a guilty pleasure. We know it may be lacking nutritional value but we love it just the same. As a slice of the 1970's pop culture with bell bottoms and embarrassingly bizarre, flashy fashions it is an icon. The plot is comic bookie with cardboard bad guys set up to be mowed down but then there's Pam Grier. She's delicious and sweet with a powerful kick. Watch and enjoy.

Have A Cup
Added 12/13/2008

At some point in time, Mankind must have done something to really please the Lord coz he rewarded us with Pam Grier. Pam Grier-You know, that supercool, deadly chick that's hot as a Friday Night Fish Fry?
Well, she's never been better than she was in Coffy-her signature role. It's a rather simple revenge/vigilante type story. Coffy's a nurse and her younger sister has been all but destroyed by drug addiction, so Coffy becomes an Angel Of Death, blowing away drug pushers, pimps, Sid Haig, and other unpleasant folks. And of course looking great the whole time. It's easy for her to catch her targets off guard considering all of them are horny guys she can easily move in on. She starts working her way up the ladder and finds just how high this drug dealing thing goes.
Written and directed by Jack Hill(he did the awesome cult flick Spider Baby), this is easily one of the most entertaining films of the Blaxploitation era.....easily. Superviolent, supersexy, superfun, and all around just superentertaining.
Very highly recommended, especially if you want to see why Pam became the icon she is today.
