Featuring none other then Pam Grier herself.
This is the first blaxploitation film that I have ever seen, and let me tell you it will NOT be the last. Damn this movie was a trip, a social and political time warp. All of the service jobs are given to white people, and all of the high power jobs are given to Black men, YET the Black men are still working ultimately for white drug lords. They also have a slew of corrupt police and politicians. Overall though, it just scratches the surface and ends up stereotyping Black people as simply drug lords and pimps. It was an interesting glimpse into Black media and I will continue to watch blaxploitation for historical comparisons.
As for Pam Grier, the heroin...she passed out bj's like thank you cards and ends up blowing a bunch of men to get information about drug dealers. With this info she goes on a killing spree to avenge her 11 year old sister who got hooked on heroin by some junkies in her neighborhood. Were drugs really that rampant in the Black community at the time that 11 year olds were junkies? Is that true? I hope not, I find it very hard to believe.
Pam is supposed to be a strong "liberated" women, yet she only gains power by seducing men or leading them to believe they will receive a..happy ending.. I can say this though:
Pam Grier has amazing boobs, I would know, they practically were the supporting role of the film. So many boobs in this movie.
You would think Pam would have a hard time fighting off 6 pastie white ass hoes, but no. She utilizes her assets and hides razor blades in her perfectly coiffed fro. Suck on that MacGevery.
Oh but ladies, there is something for you in this film. I present: the male camel toe.
look closely or else you'll miss it (it's at :32 ;])
