... regular actress in Jack hill films, so its no surprise that due to the rise in popularity of blaxploitation, Hill decided to cash in using Grier. A number of imitators tried but failed to compete with Pam - the most noticeable being Tamara Dobson - who made two films as Cleopatra Jones. These films are really entertaining and are all worth a look. I enjoy this genre and Foxy Brown is my favourite of Pam's films. It was her second lead role after Coffy (1973) and I believe her best. A number of others followed - ...more
