• Statuesque agent Cleopatra Jones (Tamara Dobson) arrives in Hong Kong to take on a drug cartel and to rescue a couple of missing colleagues (agents Johnson and Johnson!) who have been abducted by the nefarious 'Dragon Lady' (Stella Stevens), local kingpin and owner of the titular casino. Although there is some typical '70s jive-talk (mostly from Agents Johnson) and lots of "black" wisecracks from Cleo, the film is really only 'Blaxploitation' by virtue of its star, otherwise it's a typical 70s Asian gangster action film. There are lots of car chases, motorcycle stunts (some better executed than others) and a huge, preposterous but entertaining climatic firefight/kung fu battle. Dobson is an imposing presence (she towers above her Asian co-stars) but she's not much of an actress (although beyond the usual tough-guy banter and quips, she doesn't have a lot to work with). The rest of the cast are as expected in a martial-arts-gangster actioner (Norman Fell is amusing albeit predicable as Cleo's hapless handler). Considering the genre, the film is relatively tame (more 'action' than 'violence') although there is one inexplicable flash of 'skin' during the panicky egress from the casino (planned or wardrobe malfunction?). Dobson, a model, did her own make up and Cleo's skin is near opalescent at times, and her wardrobe, while 'fly', is remarkably impractical for a hard-fighting federal agent. More Asian than urban, 'CJatCoG' watchable for those inclined but given the plot and the local, isn't a very good example of 'Blaxsploitation' compared to genre classics such as 1973's 'Superfly' or 'Coffy' (if you prefer a heroine).
