- According to director Jack Hill this was originally intended to be a sequel to his Coffy (1973), also starring Pam Grier, and in fact the working title of the film was "Burn, Coffy, Burn!". However, American-International Pictures decided at the last minute it didn't want to do a sequel, even though "Coffy" was a huge hit. That's why it's never said exactly what kind of job Foxy Brown has--"Coffy" was a nurse and since this was no longer to be a sequel, they couldn't give Foxy Brown that job and didn't have time to rewrite the script to establish just what kind of job she had.
- Filming took a total of 17 days.
- Born Inga Marchand, the rapper Foxy Brown took her name from the film.
- Played on a double bill at The Harris with Breathless in May 1983.
- Played on a triple bill at The Rialto with Cornbread, Earl and Me and Cooley High in March 1986.
