Jonesing for Justice: Cleopatra Jones & Black Belt Jones
Step into the funk-fueled, karate-chopping, justice-serving world of 1970s Blaxploitation cinema. This double feature brings together two larger-than-life heroes: Tamara Dobson as the six-foot-tall super-agent Cleopatra Jones, shutting down drug empires with style, and Jim Kelly as the smooth, deadly martial artist Black Belt Jones, taking on mobsters with fists of fury and a mean roundhouse kick. Together, they represent the era’s bold blend of Black Power, female empowerment, and martial arts mayhem—all wrapped in groovy soundtracks and explosive action.
