YMMV / Foxy Brown

• Awesome Music: As 70's blaxploitation flicks tend to do, this film ROCKS in the music department, courtesy of Willie Hutch.
• Badass Decay: Fans of Coffy were glad Foxy Brown was not an actual sequel, as many felt she did not measure up.
• Complete Monster: Steve Elias is one half of the Big Bad Duumvirate alongside his girlfriend Katherine Wall, and while she dearly loves him, Steve only cares for the prestige and power being with her brings him in her criminal organization. Steve participates in hooking women on drugs and having them prostitute themselves with no recourse for freedom, murdering Foxy Brown's lover when he investigates them. Troublesome women are addicted to harder drugs and sent to brothels to be used and eventually killed in short order. When hunting for Foxy, Steve also murders her brother and his girlfriend, letting little stand in the way of his hunt for profit.
• Genre Turning Point: This, Cleopatra Jones and Coffy helped bring the Action Girl into the Blaxploitation genre. Beforehand, the female characters had been more passive and only supporting presences.
• Hollywood Pudgy: One of the "call girls" is ordered to lose five pounds because her dress looks too tight. She is in fact as slim and well proportioned as every other girl.
• Values Dissonance: Foxy repeatedly uses "faggot" as a casual insult. To many modern viewers, this would just make her look like she's uneducated at best, and at worst like she's a disgusting bigot.
