Cleopatra Wong is a fictional character created in 1978 by Filipino filmmaker and producer Bobby A. Suarez, who featured her in three feature-length movies: ''They Call Her Cleopatra Wong'' in 1978, ''Dynamite Johnson'' (a.k.a. ''Bionic Boy II'') in 1979, and ''Devil’s Angels'' (a.k.a. ''Devil’s Three'') in 1980. She was portrayed by Singapore actress Marrie Lee. The Singapore-based fictional Interpol agent has been used in an early film franchise hailing from Southeast Asia, and has remained the only film franchise featuring a Singaporean as the central figure. In ''Dynamite Johnson'', the character Cleopatra Wong joined forces with Bionic Boy, another recurring character also created by Bobby A. Suarez. The Cleopatra Wong films are renowned for bringing together elements pertaining both to the Western spy movie genre and to the Asian martial arts film genre, with the use of numerous gadgets and a variety of exotic locations, as well as for the central character to display top class skills with men, motorbikes, automatic pistols, and even longbow armed with dangerously explosive arrows. Cleopatra Wong’s original tagline in 1978 was: She purrs like a kitten... Makes love like a siren... Fights like a panther. ==Inspiration== The fictional character of Cleopatra Wong was inspired by other fictional characters such as James Bond created in 1953 and Cleopatra Jones created in 1973. Rightly so, she was dubbed by the press "Asia’s female James Bond". Her creation also took inspiration from the roles played by Bruce Lee in ''The Big Boss'' (1971), ''Fist of Fury'' (1972) and ''Way of the Dragon'' (1972), to such an extent that Cleopatra Wong was nicknamed the "Female Big Boss", and that Doris Young who acted the part was given by Bobby A. Suarez the screen name "Marrie Lee", thus sharing Bruce Lee’s surname. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Cleopatra Wong」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
