Review of Cleopatra Jones

I'd expected a female hero with tight sex clothes, something alike Coffy and Foxy Brown, instead I saw something totally opposite, fancy clothes, stylized hair with long feathers and a prudish behavior, egocentric with a flamboyant black car, the movie has many strengths, the black jargon exposes on black characters is a trademark on Blaxploitation genre, Cleopatra Jones (Tamara Dobson) works as special agent of government against drugs, a sort of female James Bond, but doesn't seduces anyone apart his private affair, she struggles against the powerful drugs smuggler lead by the white Baroness Mommy (Shelley Winters), the highlight certainly was the cars chase at a paved channel drain rains waters, the most colorful character is Doodlebug (Antonio Fargas), a hyper ugly small black guy with big mouth who wants leaving the Momma's Gang, a well-dressed and stylized guy and the racist rogue cop Purdy (the great Bill McKinney), the final sequence on a scrap yard is contrived and unconvincing, with a lousy acting by momma, let it see!!
