Review of Foxy Brown (1974) by Michael T — 21 Jun 2008
Pam Grier has become both a feminist and lesbian icon but her early blaksplotation films were clearly developed by men to show off her figure (the phrase, "stacked like a brick shipyard" springs to mind).
Grier's character's are tough, resourceful, can beat up any man in a fair fight, and frequently are disrobed. Jack Hill, a reasonably talented B-movie director, is very bitter and apologetic throughout the very entertaining audio-commentary on the DVD of this film.
He felt that AIP executives were interfering in the film and a scene he suggested as a joke they insisted he film (its at the end of the film).
