I watched this movie largely on the strength of the similarly titled 1997 Quentin Tarantino movie: Jackie Brown. The only similarity between the two movies besides the title was Pam Grier. After that, they were night and day. Jackie Brown was good for starters. Foxy Brown was not.
The only thing going for "Foxy Brown" was Pam Grier--and not the acting of Pam Grier or her fighting ability. Nope. Just her beauty. She was stunning. Take that away and this movie had nothing but a weak plot, bad acting, and worse action sequences. The action I could forgive because it was 1974 and probably low budget. As for everything else: they get no pass.
