and Shelley Winters as "Mommy"
A Turkish poppy field is torched - and a U.S. drug trafficker known as "Mommy" is feeling pretty burned. She picks up the phone, talks to a few pals at the local police station and orders a retaliatory raid on an inner-city anti-drug headquarters. Mommy might next want to dial 911. Because now she'll have to mess with all 6'2" of Cleopatra Jones. Willowy supermodel Tamara Dobson stars as special agent Cleopatra Jones, the drug traffickers' deadliest - and most beautiful - enemy. Joining Dobson is two-time Academy Award winner Shelley Winters, playing it to the hilt as black-leathered Mommy. And popular supporting actor and former L.A. Rams star Bernie Casey (Spies Like Us, Never Say Never Again, I'm Gonna Get You Sucka) co-stars as the overseer of the anti-drug house. Like a junkyard dog, Mommy is relentless in her anywhere, anytime vendetta with Cleo. Ravishing Cleo responds with catlike karate quickness. (Karate sequences are supervised by Bong So Hon, technical advisor of Billy Jack.) Doodlebug, Pickle, Snake and more of Mommy's offbeat stooges add glide to the story's stride. Their antics, Mommy's chortling sleaziness and Cleo's class shape the power and pizazz of Cleopatra Jones.
