Jack Hill’s Coffy is coming back to The Frida Cinema, guns blazing and ready to burn it all down courtesy of our friends at See It On 16MM!
Long before Tarantino crowned her a legend, Pam Grier became one with Coffy—an explosive, no-holds-barred blaxploitation classic that put her front and center as the fiercest, flyest, most fearsome avenger in ’70s cinema. Dressed to kill (and very often undressed to kill), Coffy is a nurse by day, vigilante by night, taking down the pushers, pimps, and politicians who poisoned her little sister with heroin.
Directed by cult master Jack Hill, Coffy is pure grindhouse satisfaction: outrageous action, killer dialogue, sleazy villains, slow-motion shotgun blasts, and Grier—an absolute force of nature in every frame. This isn’t just revenge—it’s a revolution in heels.
