3 unusual facts about Cleopatra Jones


Cleopatra Jones and the Casino of Gold

The film was not as well received as its predecessor, Cleopatra Jones, due mainly to the decline in the popularity of the blaxplotation genre.

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.

By 1972, Hollywood took an interest in her as a potential actress and offered her the title role in the movie Cleopatra Jones, but when Sims read the script, she was appalled by the racist portrayal of blacks in the movie and turned it down.
