Trivia

According to director Jack Hill this was originally intended to be a sequel to his Coffy, also starring Pam Grier, and in fact the working title of the film was "Burn, Coffy, Burn!". However, American-International Pictures decided at the last minute it didn't want to do a sequel, even though "Coffy" was a huge hit. That's why it's never said exactly what kind of job Foxy Brown has - "Coffy" was a nurse and since this was no longer to be a sequel, they couldn't give Foxy Brown that job and didn't have time to rewrite the script to establish just what kind of job she had.

Goofs

Crew or equipment visible: When Foxy and Claudia are in the back seat of the limo on their way to their "appointment" with the judge, the shadow of the camera, mounted outside the car, can be seen passing over them several times as the car turns. See more »

Quotes

Foxy Brown: I want the name, Link, the name!
Link Brown: Allright, it's Katherine Wall, but don't you go messing with her, baby, she's dangerous.
Foxy Brown: Katherine Wall? What's she got to do with the dope operation?
Link Brown: She's the protection, without her there's nothing. She runs a string of the finest call girls, yeah but they don't go out for just money, you gotta be somebody big, be a big man, a congressman, a judge, or on the grand jury.
