Before she goes undercover to take down a sex trafficking ring in Los Angeles, Foxy Brown plots her revenge. Mindfulness, she says, is “as American as apple pie.” At the very least, Pam Grier is.

Foxy Brown It is Greer’s second most famous film of the 1970s (after… coffee, also directed by Jack Hill). These are the films that made her an action star like nothing Hollywood had ever seen before: a black heroine with a pearly gun, skilled in bar brawls and not shied away from exacting the most ferocious revenge on mobsters and pushers.
