Coffy - DVD -27616857835

From All Movie Guide 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 cant 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 its heroin). one can only imagine the filmmakers cackling about Coffy with cream and sugar. In fact. the original ad line promised 'Coffy...shell cream you!' Robert Firsching
