Austin Stoker, D'Urville Martin, Pam Grier

Pam Grier combines big guns and fantastic '70s outfits in Sheba, Baby. After roughly 4,000 establishing shots of Chicago in the opening credits, private eye Sheba Shayne (Grier) immediately hea...( read more  read more... )ds to Louisville, where thugs are leaning on her father's business, trying to get him to sell out. The police, alas, are no help, but never fear--Sheba is the kind of private dick who doesn't shy away from dunking a man's face in toxic chemicals to get the information she needs. She soon finds herself going head-to-head with a crime lord named Pilot, and the butt kicking begins. Sheba, Baby offers giant ties, big guns, and a firefight on speedboats, and yes, of course there's a catfight. Mandatory viewing. --Ali Davis

    Just saw this one today,... Pam is what that is...

    Pam as a private detective avenging her father's beating at the hands of local thugs trying to muscle him out if his bail bonds business.

    It lacks some of the more lurid elements (nudity, drugs, etc.) of her other films from the same era, but is still a fun watch.

    Rental.

    I think Pam Grier is one of the sexiest gals and any movie she's in, she ;makes it worth watching. She's not a bad actress either.

    Not Pam Grier's best, but still pretty enjoyable.

    i found this VHS tape in a bargin bin for $2 and figured "why not?" I love finding stuff like this!! When i finally watched it, i was kinda waiting for it to bomb because my good friend SenorCerveza who WORSHIPS Pam Grier watched it before me and said it was kinda luke-warm....( read more) I think he needs to watch it again!! Granted i haven't seen COFFY but this flick was alot of fun!! Sure its PG and as such somewhat light-weight but i enjoyed it none the less. Another recommended sunday afternoon piece of cinema - along with a cold one!!
