Special agent Cleopatra Jones (Tamara Dobson), six feet two inches of sinewy fighting fury clad in layers of runway chic fashions in bright rainbow colors, strolls up a sand dune and orders the destruction of a Turkish poppy field. Thousands of miles away, an L.A. drug lord named Mommy (Shelley Winters hamming it up with garish wigs and lecherous leers) screeches as her life blood burns away and lures Cleopatra stateside to plot her demise. A product of the "blaxploitation" explosion of low-budget thrillers featuring black heroes in the 1970s, Cleopatra Jones may not be the best of the batch but revels in the most outrageous fashion sense. Cleo looks great in furs, pantsuits, ponchos, turbans--a new outfit every scene--and drives a sleek black Corvette with a personalized license plate: "CLEO." It's a shame that the producers dropped the exotic potential of a globetrotting super-agent for an L.A.-bound gangster film, which is entertaining in a comic-book way but rarely reaches the energetic levels of the gritty Pam Grier action pictures Coffy and Foxy Brown. Bernie Casey is a role model of dignity and action as a neighborhood activist, and a garishly overdressed Antonio Fargas delivers a suitably flamboyant performance as Mommy's pusher Doodlebug. The glamorous super-agent flew off to Hong Kong for the 1975 sequel, Cleopatra Jones and the Casino of Gold. --Sean Axmaker

 OLD SCHOOL! December 14, 2008
You have to be old school to watch this, but this is a wonderful product, only for the old school die heart.
grade A black exploitation December 2, 2008
Everything in this movie puts it above most black action films of the 70's. The fight scenes are very well choreographed(with some great slo-mo), The actors and dialog are damn good mostly with the police cheif, mommy, and Bill Mckinney(from deliverance) having the best lines. The drug pushers and pimps are not "super cool" here and get what's coming to them and jones has no sympathy for them either. The film's decent budget provides for some great widescreen photography, car chases, explosions, and bloody gun battles. Tamara Dobson impresses by getting her point accross without calling everyone a bitch or MFer throughout the whole movie(a real woman).

I was a little girl my dad used to take me to the movies and she's the bomb. Plus I got the poster after they took the movie off. To put something else on. Rest in peace Tamara Dobson you #1.

I am a fan of blaxploitation flicks, and this one is a classic film. Tamara Dobson is beautiful in this film, and does a terrific job. Everyone in this film did an excellent job. RIP Tamara Dobson.
