Description

In this 1973 film, Pam Grier shines as the lead character, Coffy. As a nurse, Coffy has seen the ill effects of drugs up close, but it isn't until her little sister becomes addicted to heroin that she finally decides to wage a one-woman battle. Disguised as a prostitute, Coffy goes on a killing rampage, at first going after street dealers and pimps such as sleazy King George (Robert DoQui), then gradually working her way up to bigger honchos. All of this makes her a heroine with whom we can sympathize and cheer on. Ages: 18 and up. Click here for directions and parking.
