* BlackJezebelStereotype: She is known for playing characters that [[PlayingWithATrope update the trope]], mixing it with some of the no-nonsense and stubborn traits of the SassyBlackWoman.
** ''Film/FoxyBrown'': On the one hand, Foxy Brown has the motive of enacting brutal revenge for the murder of her boyfriend and takes on a drug syndicate single-handedly. On the other hand, her fight scenes are filmed with gratuitous MaleGaze, with Foxy receiving [[MsFanservice sexualized]] ClothingDamage. Even scenes of Foxy being brutalized were sexualized to such an extent that critics described it as borderline soft-pornographic.
** ''Film/{{Coffy}}'': Similar to ''Film/FoxyBrown'', Coffy is a woman on a revenge mission, this time against those who enabled her sister's heroin addiction. She's a HeroicSeductress who disguises herself as a [[TheOldestProfession call girl]] to HoneyTrap her primary target. These scenes also deploy a MaleGaze perspective that highlight Grier's sex appeal. The tagline for the film highlights the InterplayOfSexAndViolence: "They call her 'Coffy' and she'll [[DoubleEntendre cream]] you!"
