Foxy Brown

Director: Jack Hill, Jack Hill, Jack Hill

1974 / 92min / 35mm

When her government-agent boyfriend is shot dead on her doorstep, Foxy Brown (Grier) begins an investigation into the murder, which leads her to uncover a drug-and-prostitution ring of modern-day slavers. Hill and Grier’s follow-up to Coffy goes even further in its description and indictment of the conspiracy of criminal violence directed against Black women, with a rousing climatic uprising that involves Foxy’s Black Panther brethren charging in like the cavalry and a gory gelding for the guilty.
