so which one was the more bad ass, sexy agent, crime fighter?

a little background courtesy of Wiki...

Cleo
In the film, Jones is a special agent assigned to eliminate drug-trafficking in the US and abroad. After Jones torches a poppy field in Turkey, Mommy, a drug-lady played by Shelley Winters, becomes furious and promises to destroy Jones. Mommy uses her link with corrupt officers on the force to stir up trouble for Jones' friends and to set her up to be jumped. Meanwhile, Mommy is having problems with some of her pushers, like the disloyal Doodlebug, played by Antonio Fargas.



Foxy
When her government-agent boyfriend is shot down by The Man, Foxy Brown (Pam Grier) seeks revenge. She links her boyfriend's murderers to a "modeling agency" run by the campy villains of Steve Elias (Peter Brown) and Miss Katherine (Katherine Loder). Foxy decides to pose as a prostitute to infiltrate the company, and helps save a fellow black woman from a life of drugs and sexual internment. This leads Foxy to a variety of revenge-themed setpieces -often violent and sexual- that range from the cremation of sexual-slavemasters to the castration and presentation of a foe's genitals.



been feeling some blaxploitation flicks lately.

Cleo in a heartbeat(and I'm partial to Miss Brown).

Why? Becuase still waters run deep. Its those calm mofos that are bound to fuck somebody up

Coffy!

Foxy!
I have a nice little collection of the "Blaxploitation" movies... Pam Grier gets my vote!

I just watched "Cleopatra Jones" recently, and it really irked me that she kept changing into weirder and weirder outfits. It seemed like she changed 4 times in one day!

She was a model, it was expected of her

And anyway, I wouldn't change a damn thing about that

chocolate1 said:

What's wrong with them outfits. Sho' that's seventies High fashion. I don't know what you talkin about.




Damn this is tuff between Cleo's badass corvette and Foxy pulling a gun out her fro'....

Flip coin... Cleo.

Thats what I say too!!!

Love Pam Grier but the Cleopatra Jones character was as cool as it got. In fact, no female action role character has been cooler.

CP was into some martial arts type shit! Foxy never quite held her gun right.

I asked at work, and people said Cleopatra.
Am I the ONLY one who liked Foxy Brown better?

Tamara Dobson e'rytime

Any bitch who can perform a kick do' in heels, wearing a fur coat, rockin' a turban, AND packin' heat, is MY kinda bitch!



Just flawless!

Ain't nuthin' badder than having a dude's nuts cut off. Foxy's MY bitch!

That alone is 10x cooler than anything about Foxy Brown.

My vote is DEFINITELY for Cleopatra. The quality of the films are about the same, but I like Cleopatra's look and style more than Foxy. The only thing about Jones I don't like are her extremely fake/sad martial arts scenes. I know she was a very tall model, but someone could have choreographed her Karate moves way better than that. ....

Now if somebody mentioned..


I might've reconsidered.

A 40+ years old black woman with nothing and EVERYTHING to lose? I wouldn't cross that bitch.

I just just got kind of lost because she'd go in someplace wearing one outfit, then go to the next one wearing another, then showed up somewhere else in something else... I was sitting there thinking, "Wait a minute... she went home and changed AGAIN?!"

the first ever on screen ebony fashion fair.

Speaking of Foxy...


In this sexy, often shocking, memoir, you will get to know the real Pam Grier in all her battles and triumphs, her disappointments and her victories.

This book is broken down into Three Parts: The Early Years, 'Fros and Freaks, and Finding the Balance.

Did Ms.Grier say anything about dating Bobby Womack?

TD3 said:

Hasty

The book is yet to be released. Pam has an intriguing growing up in LA, and she is a survivor as well,,,,when she was diagnosed with cancer back in the 80s, her doctor predicted that she would die in few months.

I'm glad she overcame that.

Harlepolis said:

How I know? You are always giving us the 411 on bio's and all, I thought maybe you had the hook-up with the publisher.

I look forward to reading it than. I heard Womack speak of Grier on NPR. He said she was one of the wildest women he'd ever dated but she was also the most postive and supportive women he'd known. He was about to get into some stories and that chick on NPR flipped the questions back to music.

Yay! Thank you!
