Cleopatra Jones and the Casino of Gold is a 1975 American action-adventureblaxploitation film directed by Charles Bail and starring Tamara Dobson as Cleopatra 'Cleo' Jones, Stella Stevens and Norman Fell.[2] The film is a sequel to the 1973 action film Cleopatra Jones.
Plot[edit]
The story begins with two government agents, Matthew Johnson and Melvin Johnson, being captured by the 'Dragon Lady' (Stella Stevens). Cleopatra Jones then travels to Hong Kong to rescue the agents. Jones pairs up with Tanny (Ni Tien) and ends up in the Dragon Lady's casino, which, in actuality, is the headquarters for her underground drug empire. Jones and Tanny use their combat skills to battle the Dragon Lady's henchmen and rescues the agents.[3]

Max Julien, author of the source story for, and a co-producer of, the film's predecessor, Cleopatra Jones, refused to participate in the production, and instead got token credit for the story and script having been 'based on characters created by' him.

The film was not as well received as its predecessor, Cleopatra Jones, due mainly to the decline in the popularity of the blaxploitation genre.[4]
The film was released on DVD by Warner Brothers as part of its Warner Archive Collection in 2010.
