Cleopatra Jones and the Casino of Gold is a 1973 blaxploitation movie about Cleopatra Jones (Tamara Dobson), an anti-narcotics agent who is responsible for the destruction of the Asian poppy fields of drugboss Mommy (Shelley Winters).
Assisted by several corrupt cops, an enraged Mommy sets about to eliminate Cleopatra Jones and her lover, social worker Reuben (Bernie Casey). This movie was followed by the 1973 sequel Cleopatra Jones and the Casino of Gold.
The following weapons were used in the film Cleopatra Jones:
Cleopatra Jones carries a nickel Smith & Wesson 39 with pearl grips and can be seen using it in the scene where she’s ambushed by a sniper send by Mommy.
Colt M1911A1
A Colt M1911A1 can be seen among evidence recovered from a crime scene where corrupt cops are selling guns to criminals.
Revolvers
Colt Diamondback
The Colt Diamondback is the most prolific handgun in the movie. It’s used by Cleopatra Jones (Tamara Dobson), Doodlebug (Antonio Fargas) and several thugs and police officers. During the airport shootout, one of Mommy's henchman fires a 2.5" Diamondback.
Smith & Wesson Model 36
Pickles (Teddy Wilson), one of Doodlebug’s bodyguards, can be seen with a Smith & Wesson Model 36 during the ‘visit’ of Cleopatra Jones to his boss’s apartment.
Colt Detective Special
Several Colt Detective Special’s can be seen at a crime scene where corrupt cops are selling guns to criminals.
Submachine Guns
RPB Industries MAC-11
Cleopatra Jones keeps a RPB Industries MAC-11 in her car. It has a fake flash suppressor and can be distinguished from the MAC-10 by the solid, rather than pierced, front sights.
Smith & Wesson 76
One of Mommy’s henchmen uses a Smith & Wesson 76 with collapsed stock to fire at Doodlebug and his bodyguards during an ambush.
M1928/M1928A1 Thompson
The M1928/M1928A1 Thompson is the ‘bad guy’ gun in this movie; several variants can be seen at Mommy’s headquarters and used by her henchmen.
M1 Thompson
In a continuity error, the above described M1928A1 Thompson’s turn into M1 Thompson’s halfway during the final scene at the car dump.
Rifles
Arisaka Type 02 Paratrooper Takedown Rifle (sporterized)
In one scene, one of Mommy’s henchmen can be seen cleaning a silenced and sporterized Arisaka Type 02 Paratrooper Takedown rifle. It can also be seen in the hands of a local youth at the B&S house, less the silencer.
M16 SP1
During a car chase, a thug can be seen firing an original M16 rifle at Cleopatra Jones’ car. It can be identified as such by the lack of a forward assist button.
In several promotion materials, but not in the movie, Cleopatra Jones can be seen with some sort of submachine gun that is based on the MP40, but cut off just behind the magazine well and with a fake suppressor added.
