Coffy è un film del 1973, diretto da Jack Hill. Insieme a Cleopatra Jones: Licenza di uccidere, diretto sempre nel 1973 da Jack Starrett e interpretato da Tamara Dobson, diede il via a un filone interno alla blaxploitation, con protagoniste donne afroamericane forti e coraggiose, che però conservano intatta la loro prorompente femminilità. La pellicola lanciò definitivamente nel novero delle star del genere Pam Grier. Il film doveva avere un sequel intitolato Burn, Coffy, Burn, sempre diretto da Hill, ma l'American International Pictures ebbe un ripensamento poiché altri sequel non avevano ottenuto molto successo. Nel 1974 Hill diresse comunque Foxy Brown, sempre con Pam Grier come protagonista, considerato il sequel non ufficiale di Coffy.
