Nine out of ten people will tell you Pam Grier starred in this 1973 landmark blaxploitation ‘classic’. She didn’t: it’s Tamara Dobson as the CIA’s tough female agent, taking out drug dealers with athleticism, attitude and a healthy amount of sheer spite. The soundtrack is very cool but in truth the film’s pretty rubbish: comic-book at best, lazily indulgent throughout. Bring on Foxy Brown!
