When Blaxploitation Went to Hong Kong and Macao – Cleopatra Jones and the Casino of Gold, 1975

My bimonthly column for Macau Closer (that appears in English, Portuguese and Chinese handily) this March-April looks back at when Hollywood’s Blaxploitation genre took a side trip to Hong Kong and Macao (in league with the Shaw Brothers) in Cleopatra Jones and the Casino of Gold (1975) with Tamara Dobson and Ni Tien teaming up to take on bad-ass Macao casino boss played by Stella Stevens. If you’re in Macao then you can pick up a copy at the marvellous Livraria Portuguesa at 16 rua de São Domingos. Otherwise you can zoom in on this jpg hopefully.
