The Return of Coffy

Rating: Null/10 (18 April 2001)

Back in the 70's such movies known as "blaxploitation-films" were made by african-american people to african-american people. For example Shaft (1971) was "a black James Bond". The movies always had lots of action, great funky music and of course big afros...
Quentin Tarantino was ten years old when he saw these blaxploitation-movies. After the success of Pulp Fiction he missed those funky movies of the 70's and adapted Elmore Leonard's book "Rum Punch". The head caracter was a white middle-aged woman called Jackie Burke but when Quentin adapted the book she became black middle-aged woman called Jackie Brown.
Quentin wanted Pam Grier to act in the title role. Also Robert De Niro, Samuel L. Jackson, Robert Forster and Bridget Jones were in the movie, too.
A great mixture of the 70's and the 90's, great dialog, great performances all along and this is what you get: a marvellous movie.
