I also like
COFFY
more as well. Though
FOXY BROWN
is probably more of what the blaxploitation genre is about,
COFFY
is better because Grier's character in that one is more of an independent heroine. She does much more on her own while Foxy needs some help. A word of caution about the ending of
COFFY
, let me put it to you this way: You'll think John Wayne Bobbitt got off easy compared to what16d0 happens to Austin Stoker in this movie
!

According to director Jack Hill, "Foxy Brown" was originally intended to be a sequel to his "Coffy" (1973), also starring Pam Grier, and in fact the working title of the film was "Burn, Coffy, Burn!". However, American-International Pictures decided at the last minute it did not want to do a sequel, even though Coffy was a huge hit. Therefore, it is never said exactly what kind of job Foxy Brown has "Coffy" was a nurse and since this was no longer to be a sequel, they could not give Foxy Brown that job and did not have time to rewrite the script to establish just what kind of job she had.
