The 1974 cult classic directed by Jack Hill was an instant box office success upon its debut. It follows Brown as she seeks revenge for her murdered boyfriend who was shot down by a group of drug dealers. The movie is considered one if the most influential films with Pam Grier’s role being the prototype of a strong, independent woman.
The influence of the movie has been great in pop culture, including the Urban Legend series. Beyoncé channeled Foxy Brown when she played the role of Foxxy Cleopatra in 2002’s Austin Powers Goldmember movie. Brooklyn bred-rapper Foxy Brown clearly took to the role Grier made famous and used it for her rap moniker.
As of now, there’s no word on when the MGM-based show will begin filming or debut.
