THEY CALL HER CLEOPATRA WONG 1978 (TUBI)

Marrie Lee stars in this fun and entertaining little film.

Wong is Singapore's top agent who heads the Criminal Investigations Department. She and her Filipino counterpart are sent to investigate and stop and counterfeit money operation.

There is a hell of a lot of chop-socky action and it barely stops so the viewer can catch their breath. Lee did all of her own stunt work, and so,me of it is amazing indeed.

Wong finds the counterfeiting ring operating out of a convent where the real nuns are being held as slaves. When Wong finally gets to the bottom of things there are more killings in the last 20 minutes of this film than in about 100 regular movies.

I really liked this film and loved some of the wonderful set pieces in the 90 plus minute running time. Lee is a sexy and talented woman who makes a perfect Asian agent and the fact that she can kick ass is only an added bonus.

You know, I can't see any action fan missing this unsung classic of the genre. It really has everything...beautiful women, great action, beautiful locations in Singapore and over the top gunfights.

This is a HIGHLY RECOMMENDED movie.
