Cleopatra Wong Audience Reviews

Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much
Platicsco Good story, Not enough for a whole film
Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.
Quiet Muffin This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.
Wizard-8 The idea of this movie - a sexy female secret agent - was not a new idea even when this movie was made. However, it all the same had some great possibilities for both sleaze and action. Unfortunately, the potential was nowhere near realized by these particular filmmakers. There is no nudity by the lead figure or any other character in the movie, and while there is sex, it's so tamely staged that it could play in prime time television with absolutely no edits. When it comes to action, things are not that much better. The martial arts sequences are old school style, and not particularly well choreographed or directed. Occasionally they are lame enough to generate a slight chuckle, I admit, but not often enough. The other parts of the movie do once in a while generate some extra unintended humor, but the total number of laughs is pretty limited. The movie for the most part is pretty dull and feeble, and it's hard to believe it was an international success.
Woodyanders Perky and sexy ace Interpol agent Cleopatra Wong (a winningly sunny and spunky performance by the lovely Merrie Lee) teams up with four male counterparts to take out a nefarious counterfeit money outfit who plan on taking over Asia. Directer Bobby A. Suarez tackles the gloriously absurd material with real rip-roaring gusto: the snappy pace rarely drags, there's wall to wall wacky martial arts fights, an amiable breezy tone is well sustained throughout, and the climactic protracted twenty-five minute major set piece with Wong and her friends decked out in nun's habits attacking the monastery that's a front for the whole evil funny money operation is simply astounding. The expected uproariously lousy dubbing (Wong speaks with a hilariously out of place posh British accent!), the cartoonishly wicked bad guys, the excessive comic book violence, enthusiastic acting from a game no-name cast, the frequent use of drawn-out slow motion, the loopy dialogue (favorite line: "Freeze, or you're a dead nun!"), the overdone sound effects, a couple of mild heavy-breathing sex scenes, and the exotic globe-trotting locations all add greatly to this film's considerable campy charm. David Hung's cinematography is pretty crude, but overall still colorful and effective. Romeo Galang's get-down groovy score hits the funky diggin' spot something sweet. A total kitschy blast.
DICK STEEL "She purrs like a kitten, makes love like a siren. This side of the Pacific, she's the meanest, deadliest, and sexiest secret agent" That's the tagline for the movie, and it's Singapore's answer to the 70s female action powerhouses like Charlie's Angels. Cleopatra Wong (Doris Young aka Marrie Lee) is an international Interpol agent whose mission in this film is to crack an illegal counterfeiting group whose sole objective is to destabilize the currencies of ASEAN countries Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand and the Philppines.Sounds diabolical, doesn't it? And it's a job only a cosmopolitan agent like Cleo Wong can handle, as she jet sets from Singapore to Hong Kong to the Philippines, hot on the trail of these crooks, manufacturing fake currencies in a convent. She even shows her leadership qualities in leading an all male group of agents on the attack of the crooks hideout against machine gun-totting fake nuns.Shown as the "Female Big Boss", the montage at the beginning shows the abilities of Cleo Wong as top fighter and archer, whom even Robin Hood is no match for with her simultaneous firing of 3 arrows, blowing up a helicopter in the process (yes, they did blow up a helicopter, back in the 70s for this show!) With older films, what catches the eye is usually the environment and the state of development of Singapore at that time. Here, we viewed the Paya Lebar International Airport, an old 70s Mercedes Benz, and the city skyline which has many buildings noticeably absent. We go from the mainland to Sentosa via cable car, following Cleo's footsteps, and come across vastly different and sparse beaches that we're unfamiliar with today. Local actor/DJ Brian Richmond also had a role in this film as Cleo's Singapore boss.I overheard the people around me laugh and shake their heads on the impossibility of some scenes - like Cleo Wong single-handedly taking on 3 wrestlers (one of whom is local famous wrestler Mehar Singh), and leaping (yes, leaping without aid) over tall walls in escape. Or the scenes in which the raid on the hideout using guns resulted in prolonged and painful (no pun intended) death scenes. I suppose one must take into context the sign of the times, where kung-fu action was punctuated with exaggerated sound effects, and where the slightest punch will effect in maximum flying damage.All in all, it's a fun film which one shouldn't miss. This was the film that was produced for an international audience, and one which resulted in catching the eye of Quentin Tarantino! Cleopatra Wong definitely lived up to her tagline.Those interested in catching this film, there will be additional screenings at The Arts House on 22 Aug 05 Mon 2130hrs and 23 Aug 05 Tue 1900hrs.
uckuri Cleopatra wong. I first seen this movie in Luxembourg TV RTL an It was the last time I have ever seen It was year 1990. Cleopatra wong is really good action flick a beatiful female agent who is expert on martial arts beat all bad guys and sometimes killed them. She was portrayed like a female James Bond. She also was very free woman. However, this action classic from Phillipines is really hard to find. I have no idea where Cleopatra wong's video copies locates
