Review of Cleopatra Jones (1973) by Blais E — 16 Dec 2010
Laughably-camp entry in the "Blacksploitation" sub-genre of action-movies that were so plentiful in the 1970's, here starring the Amazonian non-actress Tamara Dobson as a DEA agent hot on the sizable heels of heroin-pushing lesbian king-pin Mommy (The always-enjoyable Shelley Winters in an outrageously-unrestrained, foaming-at-the-mouth perf-).
This cycle of very-70's cinematic trash was always very enjoyable, and the scenery-chomping Winters, Bernie Casey, Paul Koslo, Bill McKinney, and familiar TV faces Antonio Fargas, Esther Rolle, and Theodore Wilson all help make this one of the more memorable of its type.
