4/10

Watered-down, made-for-TV blaxploitation.

Undercover LAPD policewoman Christie Love (Teresa Graves) is sent to Florida to keep an eye on Helena Varga (Louise Sorel), girlfriend of organised crime boss Enzo Cortino (Paul Stevens), in the hope of laying her hands on a ledger that could bring down the kingpin's entire drugs empire.

Get Christie Love! is a 1974 made-for-TV blaxploitation movie inspired by the likes of Coffy, Foxy Brown and Cleopatra Jones. While star Teresa Graves certainly makes for a likable and attractive lead, she simply cannot compete with her big screen counterparts, the TV format watering down the elements that make the genre so much fun: the nudity and violence. Where Coffy strip off for sex before blowing a hole in her enemy with a shotgun, Love simply gives her opponents a pathetic karate chop and cuffs them. Her clothes remain on throughout.

3.5/10, rounded up to 4 for IMDb.
