They Call Her Cleopatra Wong
They Call Her... Cleopatra Wong (also known as Cleopatra Wong and Female Big Boss) is a 1978 Philippine-Singaporean international co-production film directed by Bobby A. Suarez and co-written by Suarez and Romeo N. Galang. It features the first adventure of Asian Interpol agent Cleopatra Wong, starring Marrie Lee in the title role, together with Franco Guerrero, Dante Varonna and George Estregan. The film, riding on the success of Hong Kong martial arts films of the era as well as the Cleopatra Jones, James Bond and superspy craze, details the adventures of the first and only Singaporean female Interpol agent. The film is reportedly listed by cult director Quentin Tarantino as among those that inspired him. Two sequels were filmed in the Philippines.
