Coffy (1973)

Aptly named. She's black, hot, can keep you up all night or burn you. It's a Blaxploitation revenge thriller that has a few lull moments but overall rarely puts a foot wrong. There are hilarious moments, too (I lost my shit at the pimp's onesie!). The titular female takes an active role doing what the cops won't: putting a stop to the drug pushers that infect the city. It's not for wholly selfless reasons but that doesn't negate the good she does... with a shotgun. There's a lot of nudity but it really doesn't need it, there's enough meat in the script without the need for compensation elsewhere.

4 campaigns out of 5
