Programmer's Pick

Tamara Dobson’s Cleopatra Jones doesn’t just walk into Hong Kong—she storms it, elbows out, with martial arts savvy and a wardrobe to match. Stella Stevens’s Dragon Lady delivers villainy as smooth as her casino’s champagne. It’s blaxploitation meets kung fu, with every punch thrown in high style.
