Starring Theresa Graves, Get Christie Love! is a tame TV-movie imitation of early 1970s female blaxploitation films such Pam Grier's Coffy (1973) and Foxy Brown (1974). With a low budget and content sanitized to network standards, this is lightweight stuff about an undercover cop determined to smash a drug ring. Nevertheless the movie was popular enough to spawn a short-lived TV show and is significant for being the first time a black woman took the title role in any American network production. Tarantino completists may be interested, as he paid homage to Christie Love in the dialogue of Reservoir Dogs (1991). --Gary S. Dalkin

ACTION-PACKED MOVIE THAT LEAVES YOU WANTING MORE.......2003-04-01

THIS MOVIE WAS RECOMMENDED TO ME A FEW YEARS AGO AND I FINALLY FOUND IT ON AMAZON.COM. THE MOVIE WAS SUPRISINGLY VERY GOOD. TERESA GRAVES GAVE A SUPERB PERFORMANCE AND KICKED...IN THE PROCESS. I LOVE THE 70'S FASHION. THE MOVIE LEFT ME WANTING MORE....

great fun to watch.......2002-03-04

...P>I like it! A lot.

... The tape spent quite some time on the bookshelf but now that I have finally seen it I am in love!

It must be the box art that put me off, a garrish watercolor blending an approximation of Teresa Graves' face with Pam Grier's, uh, other attributes. Learn from my mistake and don't let that put you off, the movie really is a blast.

Production values for this film are definitely made-for-TV, B-grade standard. But for less than ten bucks you get two competently realised car crashes plus a couple of unequal struggles between Miss Graves and the evil drug-lords' henchmen.
The story isn' t too shabby either. It succeeds to put just enough motivation into both actors and actions.

Not that I would know anything about it but the dialog sounds totally ad-lib and incredibly cool all at the same time. The IMDB lists what appear to be TV comedy gigs and Teresa Graves really displays the timing of a great comedian.

The IMDB bio for Teresa Graves consists of just one lousy cryptic sentence, saying that she curtailed her career because she allowed her religion to limit her role choices. On the basis of this one film alone I find that hard to believe. The title character is sexy, tough and cool, the very poster girl of an independent woman.

It was a bit weird watching this film because to me she looked so much like Whitney Houston, a taller, fitter, Whitney Houston with a great sense of humor. Oh, and one of her junkie contacts looks exactly like the girl from present day THE PARKERS TV show. So weird!

The only reason for me to withhold the fifth star is the bad audio and so-so visual quality of the budget tape published by Ideal Enterprises.

Good tacky 70s fun.......2002-01-04

What can you say? There's no great art here. There's Teresa Graves, a long, tall good-lookin' woman, catch phrases ("You're under arrest, sugah!") and lots of afros, bellbottoms, and butt-kicking as Christy Love cleans out a nest of drug dealers - her way. There's nothing innovative here, and definitely no great acting, but this was only an ABC TV-movie meant to introduce the short-lived TV series. Now, of course, it looks like tacky 70s kitsch, and that's exactly what it is. Great fun but don't pay a lot for it, and don't expect too terribly much.

Christie Love is a bad mother...shut yo' mouth!.......2001-04-02

Christie Love is funny and action-packed. A black female cop out to keep the man out of her face and the drugs out of the hood. Teresa Graves gives a wonderful performance, proof that Pam Grier isn't the end all be all when it comes to women in blaxploitation movies.

In those days,Christie Love would make you a hero!.......1999-06-08

When I first saw "Get Christie Love" back in 1974,I was only a little child that she strucked me, she was the first African American woman as a detective on television series.Although it was only few episodes until it was cancelled in those days.I believe that was way before Pam Grier appeared.
