Slow pace in the most part of the movie.

It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.

In other words,this film is a surreal ride.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

Cleopatra Wong (Lee) is an Interpol CID agent tasked with getting to the bottom of a dastardly counterfeiting ring. As she travels around Asia, she gets into many precarious situations which involve her beating up/shooting the baddies. She and her cohorts finally trace the operation to a monastery in Manila. There she encounters counterfeiters so evil, they have imprisoned a bunch of nuns so they can continue their criminal operations. But Cleopatra Wong is on the case...so the bad guys better beware! Will she use her feminine charm, as well as her Martial Arts skill, to restore the currency and save the Asian economy? Find out today! Starting with the on-screen credit "And Marrie Lee as They Call Her Cleopatra Wong", you know you're in for a rollicking good time. Cleopatra Wong, the movie, will make you miss drive-ins. Even if you were born after a time when they were prevalent, you will still miss them. At least that's what happened to us after seeing this. It conveys the whole drive-in vibe very well, and the 70's fashions, decor, and music (and even the Martial Arts style) only serve to reinforce that. Of course, the plot only serves to set up a bunch of action scenes featuring Cleopatra, and thank goodness. It never gets bogged down with unnecessary stuff, although the "dressing up as nuns" section before the climax does drag a bit (heh heh), and sinks into Blind Rage (1978) territory. But the movie pulls itself out of it for the final confrontation, where Cleopatra pops wheelies on her awesome motorcycle and shoots people with what can only be described as a "Supergun".There's nothing we like better than a disco scene, and even more so if it transitions from a karate scene. The dubbing is classically ridiculous, but how can you lose when, in a scene referring to the counterfeit money, the Chief says (well, more accurately, shouts) lines like "It's too real to be fake!" - you just can't make them like this anymore. Adding to the fun is 1 (one) exploding helicopter. So, yes, there is a slowdown in the final quarter or so of the film, but let's not dwell on that. We should concentrate on the movie's many positives, as listed above. Plus, the music by one Romeo Galang (who also is credited as co-writer) is memorable and very upbeat, which helps a lot.Producer/co-writer/director Suarez would follow this up with the superior and more serious-minded The One Armed Executioner (1983), and helpfully, Dark Sky has released both on a double-feature DVD that is well worth picking up.

Cleopatra Wong is an agent for INTERPOL. Called off her vacation to track down a source that is flooding five Asian countries with near perfect money. The trail takes her from the Philippines, to Hong Kong, Singapore and then back to the Philippines where she ends up donning a nun's habit to enter a monastery that seems to be the source of the bogus cash.This movie doesn't make a great deal of sense but it does move along at a great clip. I don't think during the first half of the film more than three minutes pass with out some one getting beaten up by Wong. Its amazing, and amazingly fun, so much fun you don't care about the lack of sense. Unfortunately once Wong has found the source of the bad bills the film slows down as we are taken inside the operation and shown whats really going on. Its a not a good thing since the film not only to start to think about how nothing is making sense the film never fully recovers the momentum lost, even with a 20 minute long shoot out that ends the film (its a great guilty pleasure).I liked the film a great deal. I dislike the slow fifteen minutes in the middle, but as an action candy this is one heck of a guilty pleasure. Action junkies are advised to track this film down. I also can recommend it to anyone with a high tolerance for tongue in cheek action films.7.5 out of 10.(FYI: I've read, though I'm not sure its true that the final shoot out got the film in hot water in the Philippines since the Catholic Church objected to people in nuns habits firing shot guns and automatic weapons, and considering the number of people in habits, its not surprising)

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

This was my favorite movie when I was young (6 or 7 years). I don't really remember everything except for the fight scenes. All I remember of this movie is that the actress is beautiful and that she fights well! I try to find this movie for years.
