Over deze film

Fresh off her career defining roles in "Coffy" and "Foxy Brown," Pam Grier returned in cult filmmaker William Girdler's ("The Manitou") "Sheba, Baby." Grier plays Sheba Shayne, a private eye based in Chicago who is called to her hometown to stop the local mob boss (D'Urville Martin, "Black Caesar") from moving in on her father's loan business. Aided by her father's partner, Brick Williams (Austin Stoker, "Assault on Precinct 13"), Sheba finds out that the violent thugs aren't going go away with a fight. Car bombs, gun fights and boat chases ensue whilst armed with her curves, street smarts and a .44, Sheba is in for a bloodbath! Grier would appear in numerous "Blaxploitation" films where she was at the top of her game and genre, further cementing her status as the first female action star.
