* ExecutiveMeddling: Since ''Film/{{Coffy}}'' had made Creator/PamGrier a star, the studio insisted on her having a more stylish wardrobe. Jack Hill initially disapproved, worried the clothes would turn the film into an UnintentionalPeriodPiece, but he rethought his stance years later during the 70s nostalgia of the 90s.

* GenreTurningPoint: This and ''Coffy'' helped bring the ActionGirl into the Blaxploitation genre. Beforehand, the female characters had been more passive and only supporting presences.
* IAmNotSpock: Despite plenty of other credits to her name, Pam Grier seems most identified with Foxy Brown (even though her StarMakingRole was ''{{Film/Coffy}}'' before this). She even titled her autobiography ''Foxy: My Life in Three Acts''.

* DivorcedInstallment: This this was originally intended to be a sequel to ''Film/{{Coffy}}'' entitled ''Burn, Coffy, Burn!''. However, American-International Pictures decided at the last minute it didn't want to do a sequel, even though ''Coffy'' was a huge hit.
