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!"

* AntiHero: Coffy's brand of vigilante justice is one of gory and indiscriminate revenge. However, her later reactions about her antiheroic actions are played out realistically. In the beginning of the film she kills a drug dealer and a user, and later she is unable to do her job as a nurse because the sight of a patient's wounds reminds her too much of the bloodshed earlier. She even questions her friend Carter about vigilante justice, and Coffy's tone of voice and questions implied that she was fishing for Carter to give her a reason she could believe in to stop her crusade. But Carter being hospitalized finally pushed her plans forward.
* AssholeVictim: Every single person Coffy kills is a complete bastard: drug runners, thugs, crooked cops, slimy politicians, and hired muscle. One might argue that in some cases, these victims are just doing their job; but the glee they take in their actions makes one cheer for Coffy one hundred percent.
** The exception to this is King George who is framed for Coffy's attempt on Vitroni. He doesn't seem to engage in anything other than UnproblematicProstitution (all of his hookers are seemingly loyal to him and volunteers). [[spoiler: He ends up being dragged to death behind a car.]]
