Friday Foster (1975) is a movie I recently rewatched for the first time in a long time on Tubi. The storyline follows Friday, a photographer, who has a friend and a client murdered by the same assassin. When she gets a photo of the killer the organization behind the assassin sets out to make Friday the next victim.
This movie is directed by Arthur Marks (JD's Revenge) and stars Pam Grier (Coffy), Yaphet Kotto (The Runningman), Godfrey Cambridge (Cotton Comes to Harlem), Carl Weathers (Rocky), Scatman Crothers (The Shining) and Eartha Kitt (Boomerang).
The music, attire, jive and cars in this are awesome. It was also fun to see a young Carl Weathers in this picture. The cast from top to bottom is absolutely awesome and very well selected. There's a great shower scene in this and the phone booth scene was excellent. I enjoyed the conclusion especially the final sequence with Weathers. Oh, and Eartha Kit is always a fun addition to any cast/movie.
Overall this isn't a perfect movie or Grier's best blaxploitation picture but it is definitely worth a viewing for fans of the genre. I would score this a 7/10 and strongly recommend it.
