Trailer Time: Coffy (1973)

dir. Jack Hill


OK, there's no real reason to post this. It exhibits no extremes I usually look for in the trailers I post: neither exceptionally artistic nor agonizingly dreadful; neither enigmatic nor overly spoilery—this is just a clip show, showcasing the best action and dialogue. I guess I've just got Pam Grier on the brain lately. I also just love the hell out of Coffy, easily the best Grier/Hill collaboration. If you haven't seen Coffy yet, do yourself a favor and watch this movie.

Coffy is pure fun, simple as that.

Plus the film has one of the best "the song in the background is describing everything that is about to happen" moments in a blaxploitation film.

Definitely. I can't believe I didn't mention the music. One of my favorite things about the movie.
