Black Mama, White Mama/Foxy Brown

Pam Grier. Two Pam-tastic blaxploitation favorites! In Black Mama, White Mama (1973/87 min.) gorgeous Grier is an escaped convict handcuffed to a white revolutionary. In Foxy Brown (1974/94 min.), Pam's gonna stick it to the man who killed her boyfriend 2 DVDs. Color/R/widescreen.
Who is Pam Grier's contemporary? Nobody. Anything with Pam is a guarantee adventure ride and Black Mama, White Mama/Foxy Brown are two fine examples of what 70s cinema was all about, action, action, and action. Pam had a cameo recently in The Man With The Iron Fists, she's still around and still has that unique presence that draws you in and keeps you captivated, why she has not received a Life Time Achievement Oscar is beyond me. Far from her only great performances, this double feature is a fine introduction to her work. If you don't know Pam, you don't know 70s cinema.

Roger Corman’s Cult Classics Triple Feature: Action Packed Collection

Double features have been common at movie houses and drive-ins. They lump together two films with the hope the crowd will make more trips to the concession stand. The more prestigious title comes second as the headliner. The Triple feature is rare with the exception of a Star Wars or Lord of the Rings marathon. Not many respectable theater owners want a crowd lingering that long. But the more sketchy theaters known as grindhouses craved a long-term audience. The programming is a little more complicated with the best film coming second in the rotation. The third film of the night could be a stinker thus allowing the crowd to sleep or focus on debauchery with fellow audience members. Roger Corman’s Cult Classics Triple Feature: Action Packed Collection maintains this line up with a trio of car chasing excitement.
