Jackie Brown 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 in the title roles.

He explained that he wanted ten years to pass between The Bride's last conflict,
