What a freaking movie. So many twists and turns. Absolutely intense from start to finish.

if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

The large bosom-ed but sweet girl of the 60's, early 70's changed her dumb blonde persona in this one completely as the deliciously evil Dragon Lady. Through out this movie the tension between Cleopatra and Bianca, the Dragon Lady, keeps escalating. You know before the movie is over it will come down to a showdown between these two beautiful ladies. And when it finally happens the Dragon Lady gives Cleopatra all she can handle. Stella Stevens is wonderful as a "bad girl". The final fight scene is very well done as these two deadly ladies go at it with swords. A very convincing fight. Cleopatra's (Tamara Dobson) satisfied look as she takes Stella's sword away from her and runs it through the evil Dragon Ladies stomach is amazing! I wish Stella would have played more bad girls in her career.

If you can stand this frightening eye shadow, as well as those painted long very long eyebrows then you can stand anything ! First of all they wanted to make a stronger sequel in kind of big production where Dirty Harry meets James Bond meets Bruce Lee ! And they did it through this story about a casino, dragon lady, a drug smuggling, etc. It's bigger indeed than (Cleopatra Jones) which was close to a solid TV pilot. BUT I have a lot to say about it though..Of course as you guessed : (Tamara Dobson) and her outrageously bizarre looks in here! In fact she made me sick to my stomach during the whole 96 minutes. What the hell was that anyway ?! Those showy outfits, flamboyant costumes, funny hats, jewelry with frippery, and that genuinely horrible make-up !!!! She looked all along like a total freak, or a walking bazaar. That was too damn much in the most ugly way EVER !It was beyond any endurance's power I have. So it may hurt you badly when some boy whistles when he sees her and be that dazzled ! Yes, she could DAZZLE easily I know to the extent that makes you blind !Not to mention the characterization of Cleopatra this time. If you complained about her being some mannish at the first movie then be assured; here she's all man baby ! with no slight second to feel any kind of femininity. They wanted the taste this time as intensive as it could be. Look at the frame of Cleo here : no boyfriend, with a girl sidekick all the time, her girl sidekick got no boyfriend also !, moreover being in explicit manly costumes. It's the typical manly violent black lady of the era for all the aggrieved black people, the aggrieved women, and the sexually perverted persons too.I liked the theme song, the wonderful music, the good cinematography, the strong editing, and the fact that there were no Barb Wires in the fights' scenes unlike our very fake days ! Despite some crappy moments like when the Chinese girl, who supposed to be a sharp police officer, opened her flat's door while she was going to shower so the whole bunch of killers could enter plainly !?. It transformed into comedy already when Cleo was hiding in the dark to descend upon a bad guy at the stairs unexpectedly while she was wearing the most flashy suit I've ever seen in my life !It's fine Action for sure but as I told you earlier; how it recommends a very powerful stomach to bear Dobson's sight as she wasn't here a "Hard Woman" inasmuch as a "Hard" only !

This sequel to "Cleopatra Jones" reduces the blaxploitation elements and adds a HK flavor to the mix, with colorful production design and over-the-top stunts (definitely some "ouch!" moments here). Tamara Dobson is a little sexier this time (despite the excessive makeup), but she still lacks a certain grace in her fighting, and she is overshadowed by her Chinese co-star Tanny, who is not only beautiful but executes some great kicks as well. Stella Stevens, as the villainess, is also a major improvement over Shelley Winters, as she actually poses a physical challenge to Cleo (who knew that Stevens could be so good with a sword?). Overall, this sequel is better than the original mainly because it feels more like a HK action film than an American action film. (**1/2)
