July 26th, baby!

Myers Borrows Themes for ‘Powers’
Mike Myers says he likes the style of 1970s blaxploitation films, and he’s borrowing from the genre for the third “Austin Powers” movie.
“It’s such a yummy flavor ó the language, the music, the cinematography ó and the clothes are so cool,” Myers said.
Beyonce Knowles of Destiny’s Child co-stars as Foxxy Cleopatra with Myers in “Austin Powers in Goldmember,” which opens July 26.
Myers isn’t the only one looking back at blaxploitation films.
Opening Friday is “Undercover Brother,” an action-comedy that spoofs the genre. The era produced such films as “Shaft,” “Foxy Brown,” and “Super Fly.”
