Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Although it wasn't her first movie, Coffy (1973) was the production that made Pam Grier a star of cult cinema. It was among the first notable Blaxploitation films, and one of the first action movies featuring a strong heroine. Writer-director Jack Hill, the creator of several exploitation flicks, found enough success with this movie to spawn a Spiritual Successor, Foxy Brown (1974).Coffy is a young nurse whose sister is permanently brain damaged from having used tainted heroin. Traumatized by her sister's condition, Coffy hunts down the dealer who sold her sister the bad drug, seduces him under the pretense of needing heroin, then blows his head off.Soon afterward, Coffy hears news of her work from childhood friend Carter (William Elliott), a police officer. Carter, unlike many of the local police and politicians, is a cop with integrity who refuses to be bought out by the mob. As a result, both he and Coffy are attacked by thugs, and Carter is hospitalized in critical condition. Coffy, pushed too far, goes on a rampage of vigilante justice, working her way up the chain of drug dealers and pimps, seeking to put an end to the mob influence at the source...permanently.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Receives a Foreign Remake a few years later from Hong Kong's Shaw Brothers studios, The Drug Connection. | |

Coffy / int_98ba5dfe | comment |
Averted for King George, who is framed for Coffy's attempt on Vitroni. In comparison to the other criminals he seems like a relatively nice guy. Granted, he's a pimp, but a fairly benign one - all of his hookers seem loyal to him and are voluntarily working for him. Despite this, he ends up being dragged to death behind a car. | |

Anti-Hero | |
Coffy / int_beb9a361 | comment |
Anti-Hero: Coffy's brand of vigilante justice is one of gory and indiscriminate revenge. However, her later reactions about her antiheroic actions are played out realistically. In the beginning of the film she kills a drug dealer and a user, and later she is unable to do her job as a nurse because the sight of a patient's wounds reminds her too much of the bloodshed earlier. She even questions her friend Carter about vigilante justice, and Coffy's tone of voice and questions implied that she is fishing for Carter to give her a reason she can believe in to stop her crusade. But Carter being hospitalized finally pushes her plans forward. | |
