Cleopatra (クレオパトラ Kureopatora) is an 1970 Japanese Anime Erotic Science Fiction/Thriller film directed by the "Godfather of Anime" Osamu Tezuka, known for creating Astro Boy and Kimba the White Lion.

Little is known about the film's plot to non-Japanese western audiences, what is known is that it is a semi-erotic science fiction film where three people from the future are spiritually sent back in time to relive the era of Caesar, Marc Anthony and Cleopatra, where they are most likely to stop a plan to cause damage in the future.

The film has several sex scenes and nudity is fairly common, rare at the time in Japan back when Hentai was still not a big thing, although it is still not fully considered a Hentai film. When it arrived, for a very short period, in the US, it received the title of "Cleopatra: Queen of Sex" with a self-applied X Rating, not submitted to the MPAA.

The subtitled versions that were released to English-speaking countries are said to be lost, and have not been found. However, the Japanese version can still be found on YouTube, waiting to be subbed by fans. It is doubtful if it was ever dubbed, however, some references to a dub can be found, but we can't confirm if they are real.

Several versions of the film were uploaded to YouTube, and as years passed, were taken down. It is unknown if some kind of copyright issue is involved in the removal of such videos.
