I remember this movie RIP Cleopatra Jones, I am so sorry they allowed some people to discontinue movies about our people and made up stuff too, it gave lots of them jobs, we loved them and wish we had some more to watch now.
I met Ms. Dobson when they filmed a TV movie called Amazons @ the hospital I worked @ in 1982. She was not overly friendly. Would not give out an autograph, but did say, "I'll shake your hand". I have admired this woman since I was 14, when Cleo was released. I almost about died when I saw her in person. I was 22 @ the time, and from NYC. Was so sad to hear about her passing. Her favorite candy was Sugar Daddy. No, not an insult. I found out from her P.A. I got her a box. Northridge Hosp. M.C.
I was in the Air Force 1965 Kansas City Mo. I was leaving OGs lounge when someone Tapped on my window. I recognized her. Had seen her numerous times in the Club! It was Cleopatra Jones! My Heart jumped in my mouth! I rolled the window down and she said YOU GOT ANY CABLES?? It was raining cats & dogs, I got out in my Mohair suit & jumped her car, while her male companion stayed dry! She was a 6 ft 2 girl that looked like Cleo! I would have drowned for her! This was 10 yrs before Cleo!
Our beautiful honie known as Cleopatra Jones wasn't scared of her enemies, she just destroy them and she was the stunning honie that blew her foes totally.
This was the first brown-skinned Black female (with her natural hair) that I admired when I was a little girl. I still remember her black and white photo featured in Ebony magazine when this movie was to debut. I miss her. RIP, Cleo Jones!
@tom11zz884 Unfortunatley you're right. She fell off for me. My choices would be 1.Aunjanue Ellis 2. Kimberly Elise 3.Taraji P. Henson. I would prefer Aunjanue cause she REALLY could pull it off. NO BEYONCE PLEASE!!!!!
I'll never forget wearing turbans and cutting the sleaves off of my rabbit jackets and sewing them on my trench coats. Cleo and Get Christie Love were my girlz. Pam was more hookerish lol while Tamera Dobson and Teresa Graves were classy kick butt chicks.lol
does anyone know where i can watch this movie at online? i really want to see this, it look's pretty cool, it kind of reminds of a urban version of the classic steve mcqueen movie bullitt.
Hey Everyone, I know a torrent site where you can download most of the Blaxploitation films !! Send me a PM and label the header "Blaxploitation" if your interested, can youuuuuu DIGGITT!!!!!
@kar120cc he owns one of three corvettes that was used in the film. There were three different cars used in the movie for different scenes of the movie. One for the gull winged door, the second for the high speed chase scene, the third, for fire that shot from it's exhaust pipes! Which one does he own?
I never saw the trailer before. This was awesome!! Movies like this remind me of the good ol' days when I was a kid, and entertainment wasn't as complicated is it is now.
I've uploaded the full movie on YouTube in several parts. You can find it if you search for "Cleopatra Jones Full Movie."
This was awesome I've always been a huge fan of Cleo. This trailer was perfect, I think Vivica would make a great Cleo J for the new generation, or Danielle who won on Americas Next Top Model (I forget what cycle, but the country black girl)She has the look , but she most likely can't act.
i love Blaxploitation films, especially when there is a woman as a lead. there are not many movies like this anymore: class, action, elegance, respect. i agree with you when you said that Vivica should play Cleopatra Jones!
TAMARA DOBSON & PAM GRIER ARE MY FAVORITE ACTION HEROINES OF ALL TIME. However, it's sad that I lost one of them and she will beclose to my heart. R.I.P Tamara Dobson aka Cleopatra Jones 4Evah more!
Angela would make a perfect storm, but my thoughts go to model Iman.. too bad she's aged for the role. She has the perfect look and voice. But Angela would work too
If the studios did deceide to do a remake of this movie, I think Taraja P. Henson could pull it off, besides she is hot right now. Or for that matter, the very beautiful, not well known, and seriously underrated Kent Masters.
Wouldn't fly today. Classic Blaxploitation required guts, intelligence, and innovation. Today's mainstream filmmakers aren't exactly known for any of that.
They told Tyler Perry when he wanted to turn his plays into movies that they wouldn't fly (people wouldn't go see his movies) and all his movies have what? Gross over $400 million or more to date?
I think it would fly, you already pointed that out what the remake needs: Intelligence, innovation and most importantly a good scriipt and director. They remade Shaft 10 years ago (although Samuel L. Jackson didn't fit the part and was a bad choice IMO), so why not this one.
Thanks for posting this. I love Tamara Dobson. Don Cheadle was supposed to produce the remake. I think Kimora Lee Simmons.... if she could act would be great for the part. Maybe even Naomi Campbell.
Neither would be great because Kimora cannot act nor is she anything close, except height to Tamara Dobson and Campbell would not do a movie like that.
No problem, but I have often wondered what she is doing now. I guess it would be save to say she is not in the biz anymore. I hope she is well and blessed. It would be nice to see a photo of her now. I would imagine that she hasn't aged much and is still very pretty.
