Storyline

The Angels--Natalie, Dylan, and Alex are back again but this time they're preparing for a strike without even warning as they go undercover to retrieve two missing silver bands. These are no ordinary rings. They contain valuable encrypted information that reveal the new identities of every person in the Federal Witness Protection Program. When witnesses start turning up dead, only the Angels, using their expertise as masters of disguise, espionage and martial arts can stop the perpetrator, a mysterious "fallen" Angel. Aided by their trusty colleague, Jimmy Bosley, the Angels' adventure begins at a remote Mongolian outpost and ends only after Dylan is forced to face a dark secret from her past--a secret that puts the lives of her two best friends in danger.

Trivia

Carrie Fisher's portrayal of the Mother Superior is an homage to the scene in The Blues Brothers (1980) where the Mother Superior played by Kathleen Freeman asks Jake and Elwood to move their desks closer - which is done by staying in their desk chairs and scooting them forward as the Angels do in this film; and she also used a long wooden pointer to display her disapproval at unacceptable behavior as the Mother Superior does in this film. Carrie Fisher appeared in The Blues Brothers (1980) as Jake's homicidal ex-fiancé.

Crazy Credits

After the "Columbia Pictures" intro, the shot zooms in to the torch the woman is holding, starting the scene.

Alternate Versions

The UK cinema version was cut by three seconds (sight and sound of a head-butt to Dylan) to secure a more commercial '12A' rating. Furthermore, the unrated DVD edition widely available elsewhere could not be released in the UK at the time, as it would require being upgraded to a '15' rating, and BBFC policy would then not allow two versions of the same film with different ratings. In short, the UK DVD release is the cut, theatrical version without the extra scenes present in the unrated version.

User Reviews

with that budget six good movies could have been made

What do you say about a comedy that isn't at all funny a spoof thats to heavy handed and loud that its just irritating Boy I wish I could get a job where with out any talent I could waste millions of dollars make a incoherent piece of tripe (that did not do that well ) and be told sure you can make the last installment of this overdone franchise.Is any body else really sick of these MTV directors with there million of blazing editing cuts to create these false epics.How many good movies from struggling directors will never be seen because Hollywood is still looking for that big score picture. doesn't matter if good or not just loud and flashy. OH those lovable bean counters.
