Design & Artwork

  • Dominant Colour Block:
    A bold, saturated sunshine yellow background that immediately commands attention—typical of AIP’s high-impact marketing in the 1970s.

  • Central Artwork:

    • Large, stylised painted portrait of Pam Grier as Friday Foster:

      • Wearing a glamorous, flowing russet dress with plunging neckline

      • Holding a gun confidently in her right hand

      • A camera slung over her shoulder (reflecting her role as a photojournalist)

    • The painting is dynamic, confident, and instantly recognisable as 1970s exploitation-era poster art.

  • Character Boxes (top panel):
    A series of small b&w headshots of key cast members with humorous caption blurbs—classic AIP design:

    • Colt Hawkins (private eye)

    • Madame Rena (Eartha Kitt)

    • Fancy

    • Blake Tarr

    • Ford Malotte
      These boxes add movement and visual variety.

  • Tagline:
    “WHAM! BAM! HERE COMES PAM!”
    A legendary Blaxploitation tagline, widely referenced today in retrospectives of the genre.

  • Lower Montage:
    A multi-scene illustrated collage featuring:

    • Fast cars, helicopters, and shootouts

    • The U.S. Capitol building

    • Characters dancing, fighting, lounging by a pool

    • A comic-book-pop-art style finish that conveys fun, action, and 1970s excess

  • Billing & Credits:
    Includes additional stars such as Godfrey Cambridge, Thalmus Rasulala, Ted Lange, and Eartha Kitt (billed as Madame Rena).
    Music score by Luchi de Jesus.
    Screenplay by Orville Hampton.
