Private detective Foxy Brown has survived a rape, numerous beatings, a brawl in a lesbian bar, a kidnapping and a shot – against her will – of heroin. But when the “dangerous lady” armed with guns, karate skills and sex appeal finally confronts her main nemesis in 1974’s “Foxy Brown,” she seems to be in great peril.
Played by Pam Grier, Brown is being held at gunpoint by two henchmen as she delivers a package to the murderous Miss Katherine (Kathryn Loder). When the outlaws discover in horror that the package contains the severed penis of Katherine’s boyfriend, Brown whips a pistol from her boulder-size Afro and opens fire, killing the two goons and wounding Katherine.
