Coffy (1973) is a hard-hitting blaxploitation classic that follows a fearless nurse-turned-vigilante out for revenge against the drug dealers and corrupt officials who destroyed her sister’s life.
Pam Grier is electric as Coffy, delivering a fierce and unapologetically bold portrayal that redefined what a female action hero could be. Armed with smarts, strength, and a sawed-off shotgun, she tears through the criminal underworld with intensity and style.
Grier’s commanding screen presence, emotional depth, and iconic fashion made Coffy not just a genre standout, but a cultural milestone. With this role, she solidified her status as a trailblazer and one of the most unforgettable stars of 1970s cinema.
