The "Godmother" is pissed and nobody is safe from her! After Coffy's sister is drawn into a life of being a drug addict and dope pusher, Coffy sets out to destroy the people who destroyed her sis!
The movie starts out with a pusher in club being summined by his friend to come out to his car and check out the hot babe (Coffy) that says she is looking for some action. Once back at the hotel, Coffy (Pam Grier) seduces her new plaything then ask him to tuen out the light. When he turns around, he is greeted by Coffy holding a large shot gun. Without a second waisted, she blows his head clean off! Then she proceeds to back his friend into the bathroom where he falls backward into the tub. An angry Coffy then kills the man with an injection of some drug. I could not understand what it was.
Thoughout the rest of the film, this type of behavior is repeated over and over as one-by-one each member of the drug family are brought down. Coffy is shocked when the trail of dirty players leads to her lover who is also running for congress. Most of the money he uses for his campaign comes from the drug family.
Pam Grier looks sexy in this film but is the only star that "over acts" in her role. In an interview, Pam stated that all she wanted was to strive for an award for her acting in these types of films. However, there is a thing as trying too hard and that is what she does. In the real world, no man or woman would have gotten as close or as far as she did in the movie in taking down the bad guys.
The film is still fun and is recommended viewing for anyone new to blaxploitation.
