Foxy Brown

She is a one woman hit squad! Pam Grier is handed a much better script in Foxy Brown than she was Coffy. Coffy was dark and sexy but all of the actors and actresses overacted way too much. Foxy Brown is about a woman who is out for revenge on a female pimp for having her boyfriend, an ex-undercover drug agent, shot and killed. To get even, Foxy, played by Grier, knows her brother was the looser who blew the whistle on where to find her boyfriend and kill him. So Foxy goes after her brother to find out who he is working for and get revenge.

Foxy joins a call girl service to get on the inside and get information on those that killed her man. As it turns out, the judges in the community are on the take. The call girls service the judges in exchange for a good time and then the drug lords and the call girl agency are off the hook. Foxy is great at taking matters into her own hands and humiliates one of the judges she is to service by forcing him out the door and into the hotel hallway with nothing on but his shirt! Needless to say, he got what he deserved from a group of angry and offended women!




The violence in this movie is not nearly as strong or as gory as in Coffy. The acting and the story is much better as well. The funniest scene in the movie finds Coffy in the hospital room with her boyfriend. His entire face is bandaged up and Foxy and he decide this would be a great play to get down and get funky! The Aid walks in and catches them in the act and not only tells him that was a no-no, but slaps his you know what when she pulls off his gown to give him a bed bath. I guess he was making a point and she knocked it down. The nurse aid took a page out of Foxy's book. Great film Love it!

Sisters of Death

Four girls are initiating two new members into their group. Both girls are young, pretty and naive as to exactly what they may be getting themselves into. Both girls are setting before three members of a group called "The Sisters". The movie does not go on to explain exactly what the sisters are very well. Anyway, the are about to take their last test. This test is a test of their courage. The fourth member of The Sisters is standing behind the two newest members. She turns around and appears to be loading a gun. She turns to the first girl and pulls the trigger. Nothing happens. The first gal passed the test. She is now a member of The Sisters. Then next test goes terribly wrong! Instead of a blank, the gun fires killing the girl in cold blood. A massive wound to her head!

Fast forward seven years to a town in California. The Sisters have moved on to their separate lives and the incident that killed the gal seven years before was ruled an accident. Each member of The Sisters receives an invitation and a large sum of cash to cover their transportation cost to attend a reunion of The Sisters. Oddly, enough, the girls each decide to make the trip. Once they arrive, they are greeted with a large spread of food and wine, a massive mansion and by a father who thinks his daughter was killed on purpose during the ceremony seven years ago!

The story takes some strange twist that make little sense. First off, the five girls are keeping company with two rather strong men. That makes seven against one. Why could they not have taken this madman who wants to kills The Sisters one-by-one? The grounds are surrounded by a large electric fence. OK, so none of the gals could touch the fence without getting fried. But why could they not dig around the mansion for a large ladder that could have been used to help them escape? Really! The crazy old man is allowing the ladies and the two men free run of the castle and it's grounds! Why! This is chance for them to team up on the guy. Or to come up with a team plan to get away soon. I guess there would be no movie though.

I was disappointed at the lack of anything really scary or horrifying after the first three minutes of the film. I really wanted to see what would happen if one of the gals tried to climb the fence. Come on! Lets see one of them climb and then fry like and egg! Lets see some hair stand up and blood pooring out of her eye sockets! I have seen educational films that are more frightening. OK story but it goes down hill and never levels off after the first scene.
