Jackie Brown Jackie Brown is a 1997 American crime thriller film written and directed by Quentin Tarantino. The film is an adaptation of Elmore Leonard's 1992 novel "Rum Punch". It is the only film that Tarantino has adapted from a previous work, and stars Pam Grier in the title role. The film pays homage to 1970s blaxploitation films, particularly the films "Coffy" (1973) and "Foxy Brown" (1974), both of which also starred Grier
Jackie Brown was also used for those of "Foxy Brown"; some of the background music is lifted from these films. The film's opening sequence is similar to that of "The Graduate", in which Dustin Hoffman passes wearily through Los Angeles International Airport past white tiles to a somber "The Sound of Silence" by Simon and Garfunkel. In "Jackie Brown", Grier glides by blue tiles in the same spot on a moving sidewalk in the same direction to a soaring soul music song, "Across 110th Street" by Bobby Womack, which is from the film of the same name that was a part of
