Goofs

The shards in the broken window, from which Drew hangs with her sheet, look different after the repetition. In the original take it's made up of many more fragments than after the slow-motion.

Alternate Versions

The UK cinema version is the most complete version of the film to date, featuring additional scenes of violence. Additional footage includes:

• louder impact sounds during the fight scenes with added bass, particularly during the alley fight (the impact sounds are much tamer on all video and DVD releases)
• the use of nunchaku during the closing fight on the castle (the fight sequence now has no footage of nunchaku)
• an elbow-lock move performed during the above fight (this is now cut from all versions) It is assumed that this version is the cut of the film made before trims were made to it for the MPAA to secure a PG-13 rating.

User Reviews

A slick, enjoyable fast paced and hilarious action movie

One of my childhood favourites, Charlies Angels is an enjoyable, fun and comeidic action movie with heaps of memorable moments and some great action aswell. If you love early 00s action movies, this is for you with Cameron Diaz, Lucy Liu and Drew Barrymore all playing good roles an overall just kicking lots of butt and being cool. It's no masterpiece and it's really not anything really that complex or original, but it's a fun and crisp action movie that you can always come back to an be entertained by
