Coffy

A Japanese four-page folded flyer issued in 1997 for a double bill of Jack Hill’s Coffy (1973) and The Switchblade Sisters (1975). The two film years identify the original productions; 1997 is the issue year of this promotional paper.

Orange and deep purple run across the outer panels of this double-bill flyer. Pam Grier dominates the Coffy design, accompanied by the emphatic “She's the GODMOTHER of them all!” The facing Switchblade Sisters panel gathers its armed characters beneath “SO EASY TO KILL. SO HARD TO LOVE.”

The credits are equally revealing: Roy Ayers receives prominent billing on the Coffy panel, while The Switchblade Sisters carries “Quentin Tarantino Presents a Jack Hill Film.”

Opening the fold reveals a contrasting interior of yellow-tinted photography, Japanese commentary, film credits and late-night screening information. The bold exterior works as a pair of advertisements; the interior gives the audience something more substantial to read.
