Foxfire is a 1996 American indie drama film adapted from Joyce Carol Oates' novel Foxfire: Confessions of a Girl Gang, directed by Annette Haywood-Carter and starring Hedy Burress, Angelina Jolie, Jenny Lewis, Jenny Shimizu and Sarah Rosenberg.Five high school girls turn the tables on a teacher who makes sexual advances, but the principal punishes them instead. In order to get her confiscated art supplies, Maddie Wirtz (Burress) and her new friends, including the fearless Legs (Jolie) and the disturbed Goldie (Shimizu), sneak into the school, leading to an accidental fire. The incident cements the girls' friendship, but attacks by the football team and their own personal demons threaten to pull the group apart.Not to be confused with Firefox. | |

Butch Lesbian | |
Foxfire 1996 / int_14c04cad | comment |
Butch Lesbian: Legs is indicated to be one, sporting short hair and having masculine clothing. Goldie in the book is a lesbian as well, but her sexual orientation isn't specified in the film (although implied as she retains this look). | |

Foxfire 1996 / int_784a71d0 | comment |
Crime of Self-Defense: Legs is imprisoned for stopping the jocks kidnapping Maddie intending to rape her, since they (and one's girlfriend) lied, saying this was an unprovoked attack by her. She's released after the girl comes clean to the judge in guilt over it. | |

Bald Head of Toughness | |
Foxfire 1996 / int_9fdcad7f | comment |
Bald Head of Toughness: Goldie has a shaved head, in keeping with an overall "butch" look, likely to code her as lesbian (she's not explicitly here, unlike the book). | |

Ms. Fanservice | |
Foxfire 1996 / int_b032e4ed | comment |
Ms. Fanservice: Legs gets topless to show her tattoo, then Maddie and Goldie do too so she can give them the same one (none are even wearing bras). The rest of the girls also get them but keep their bras on. It's rather suggestive, but nothing more comes of it. | |

Hide Your Lesbians | |
Foxfire 1996 / int_b506c9ff | comment |
Hide Your Lesbians: Legs being lesbian is only said by Maddie once (though the word isn't used) and otherwise isn't shown (aside from possibly the suggestive tattooing scene and her stereotypical "butch" look). Goldie is lesbian in the book, but here her sexuality doesn't come up (although she also gets coded this way with butch looks). | |
