It's obvious when Alex runs to jump on the guys back to massage him that she actually just runs past the table.

Alternate Versions

The DVD contains 3 deleted scenes not used in the final theatrical cut of the film. Bits of these scenes can be seen in the "outtakes" reel shown during the end credits.

• A scene during Corwin's party where Corwin challenged Bosley to a game of Marco Polo in his pool. When Corwin loses, he challenges Bosely to sumo wrestling.
• A scene in Redstar Headquarters where Dylan (Drew Barrymore) and Natalie (Cameron Diaz) have their break-in interrupted when Corwin walks by. They run into the men's room.
• An extended version of Dylan and Eric Knox (Sam Rockwell) fooling around in his kitchen during the "Shake N Bake" sequence. In this version we see Dylan actually leaving the house. It is assumed she spends the night there in the final cut.

User Reviews

High-spirited, infectious ridiculousness

Head-spinning collage of technically marvelous effects in theatrical remake of cult late-'70s TV series. Drew Barrymore, Cameron Diaz and Lucy Lui are attractive, funny, resourceful, sexy and--most importantly (and surprisingly) quite convincing as super-detectives. Their case (involving rival software companies, a kidnapping, and the planned assassination of boss Charlie) doesn't make a whole lot of sense, and Bill Murray is out-of-it as confidante Bosley, but director McG's modern-comic action is so lightning-fast and silky smooth you may be having too much fun to notice. Some of the satire is actually rather smart, and the girls are game for just about anything. **1/2 from ****
