Still waiting if anyone can figure out who Cleopatra Schwartz is without resorting to Google and why she along with Pam Grier fits my image of Queen Elizebeth.

I admit that I haven't a clue. Taking it in context and considering the era in discussion, I thought you mistakenly tried to reference the other single black heroine of the era, Cleopatra Jones. Other than that, I'm at a loss w/o turning to my research assistant, Miss Google.

Son, your mother says I have to hang you. Personally I don't think this is a capital offense. But if I don't hang you, she's gonna hang me and frankly, I'm not the one in trouble. —cthia's father. Incident in ? Axiom of Common Sense

The only one I can think of --- and I've done my level best to blot the entire movie out over the years, you understand, until your query brought it back in my nightmares, thank you ever so much --- is a segment from a really, really bad indy flick from the 70s or early 80s. It shall remain nameless in honor of your quiz question, but is that what you had in mind?

Right On!

TMTSNBN was a comedy classic. Bruce Lee's ENTER THE DRAGON is incomprehensible until you've seen the FOR A FIST FULL OF YEN segment.

The shower scene was FANTASTIC!

Either my boys stole my copy of that movie or my wife disposed of it.

Oh. That's what your handle means? But what does the "FLY" stand for?
