- Magnificent Bitch: Flower Child "Coffy" Coffin is a nurse killing her way through the local drug dealers after they harm her loved ones. To get closer to her targets, Coffy plays up her sex appeal to get close to them before blowing them away with a shotgun. She learns about drug boss Arturo Vitroni's scheme to control the city's drugs, and joins up with a prostitution ring he's dealing with after threatening a former member with a bottle. Coffy then manages to seduce Vitroni and tries to kill him, manipulating him into the ring's pimp for supposedly ordering his death when she fails. Vitroni orders Coffy killed anyways, but she manages to escape, steal a bystanders car, and kill all of Vitroni's men. When confronting the mob boss, Coffy convinces him to reveal the location of her traitorous boyfriend by claiming she'll let him live, before killing him anyways.
- Nightmare Fuel: Vitroni's men dispatch King George, whom they believe ordered a hit on Vitroni, by tying a noose around his neck and dragging him behind his own car. Although he's far from innocent, he really didn't order the hit, and he has no idea why he's being killed.
- Questionable Casting: Allan Arbus as mob boss Vitroni.
- Values Dissonance: Coffy's All Crimes Are Equal interpretation of Drugs Are Bad is something that comes off a lot harsher in an era of drug legalization, especially for European viewers.
- Values Resonance: Coffy's attitude toward police indifference and Police Brutality certainly has value today.
