When Foxy Brown’s undercover-agent boyfriend is gunned down on the orders of evil drug kingpins, she stops at nothing to exact a thrillingly brutal revenge. This is one of the all-time great blaxploitation films, pulling out all the stops at a time long before anyone thought of inventing political correctness.

Pam Grier was given the role of a lifetime as the street-smart yet intensely sexy Foxy, modelling a stupendously varied range of Seventies threads while righteously kicking villainous white butt at every opportunity. She’s also given sterling support from Antonio ‘Huggy Bear’ Fargas as her no-good younger brother and a memorably funky soundtrack.

It’s clear that Quentin Tarantino is a huge fan: he cast Grier in the title role of his direct homage Jackie Brown, while the one-woman revenge scenario that fuelled the Kill Bill films didn’t just come from the Far East.

Looking lovely this is.

I like the steelbook artwork, but I just like the regular one so much more

Same. I'm hoping its on the reverse of the steelbook.

I really like the steelbook!

People that don't, y'all niggers are CRAZY.

Not much of a fan of this genre, but that steelbook is mighty enticing, I think I'll probably get this eventually. The normal artwork is very impressive though :clap:

I prefer the artwork on the keep case, but I'll probably buy the Steelbook.

Both pics are nice, but I don't like steelbooks.

Decent features as well.

The regular blu is my favorite artwork of the new titles that were just announced. I love some Pam Grier.:dance:

Don't like the steelbook artwork. I'll pick this one up, Coffy's a better film though.

I very much like 'Foxy Brown', and I adore Pam Grier. An excellent and cute-looking actress. I'm going to buy this. I think both covers look great.

I like the steely.
But I'll buy the Dual if the below is the reverse artwork!:lol:

Holy smoke! I'm in a public place at the moment - if they kick me out of the restaurant due to my boner, I will blame you, Reaps! :D

I really like Coffy – maybe that will follow if Foxy Brown sells well.

SPILL THE ICE WATER JUG-Quick!


Oh and put the smoked sausage back on the plate please!:lol:

I hope he isn't in a library!

Can't whack that Coffy themesong!;)

Is the woman on the steelbook supposed to look like Pam Grier or just some hot random black chick?

Frankly, mister, I don't give a damn. :madgrin:

Peachy.

Her nips are way too wonky for my liking or was that a gif that just happens to have an unfortunate still pic for us Tapatalk users?

Looking forward to this, haven't owned a copy since the VHS days (which was probably the last time I saw it too). I'm loving the steel book so will probably go for that. Roll on more blaxploitation releases.

Agreement on all three points (Coffy is the colour) :nod: . . .

Another top tune from the soundtrack, as sampled in Jackie Brown :cool:

Aragon

Pam grier looks amazing in this movie ;)
def. a fav.

I've got that, a very handy comprehensive guide to the genre, and chock full of cool posters :cool: . . .

For those members that are interested, here's the steelbook proof

I'm still not over enamoured with the front, but the inside is spot on.

Yeah, that cover art isn't the best, same goes for the Blow Out one, but seeing as I've no real interest in either I'm not bothered

I thought it was new artwork Arrow had commisioned, but it's actually an original poster, which is much better than Arrow's. It incorporates the front and rear images used on the steelbook, and a few more.

Yeah I don't get why they chopped up the original poster like that. That seperated single image of Pam on the front looks really sparse and clinical surrounded by all that white. Not a good move . . .

Would have been awesome if they'd left it like that! I agree with SJ, it does look a bit too clinical with so much white on there. Still, I'll be getting the steelbook rather than the standard one (actually, if the normal bluray has the art Stephen mentioned I might be tempted by that)

I would imagine that poster will be on the reverse, unless they've commisioned new artwork for it instead

...they've also messed up that iconic typography, bringing 'Brown' up onto the same level as 'Foxy' and sticking that big gap between them, and changing the colour to an ugly green :doh:

If I'm being really picky, that lazy photoshopping sticks out, where they've had to fade out her ass where it was covered by another image on the poster . . .

Well at least the inside looks pretty cool :nod:
Not a genre I've ever been a fan of TBH, so I'd need to watch this first before I part with any cash for it

The reverse of the standard edition? I would've expect the one below on that.

Of course. I won't complain if they use the full version of the steelbook artwork.

:eek:

Shiiiiiiiiiit. What's wrong wit you, son, you don't like fun . . . ?

Gotta love those Blaxploitation taglines :lol: . . .

:lol: I posted this on facebook too, and was just looking at the tagline. Couldn't agree more.
