History Series / CharliesAngels

** RealLifeWritesThePlot: The character was written with dialogue for the first movie, but his actor, [[BackToTheFuture Crispin Glover]], disliked his lines and asked that they be removed.

** Jason (played by Matt [=LeBlanc=]) is an actor. [[{{Friends}} Sound familiar]]?

* AllGirlsWantBadBoys: It is somewhat of a RunningGag throughout the movies that Dylan always falls for the bad guy. Example: [[spoiler:Eric Knox (who she sleeps with, although this is before she knows that he's the BigBad)]] and [[spoiler:the Thin Man (who was originally going to kiss Alex, according to the filmmakers, but they changed it to Dylan, in keeping with her lust for bad boys)]]. In the second film, she also lusts after one of the villainous henchmen, and it is later revealed that, in her past, [[spoiler:she was in a relationship with Seamus O'Grady]].

* TheCameo: In the second movie, rapper Eve and The Olsen Twins make cameo appearances (presumably as themselves) in Dylan's imagination (in which she imagines a future with an ever-changing Angel line-up). Other celebrities, playing different characters, also pop up for cameo appearances.

* DarkActionGirl: [[spoiler: Madison Lee]]

* TheDitz: Natalie from the movie series has her moments.

Revived in the 2000's as a pair of [[TheMovie theatrical films]], set several years after the series, with a new set of Angels. It is worth noting that the movie series is '''not''' a ContinuityReboot of the series, but a continuation. These movies star CameronDiaz, Lucy Liu and DrewBarrymore as the angels, with John Forsythe returning as the voice of Charlie. The first movie opened in the United States on October 22 2000. It grossed more than $125 million at the U.S. box office and grossed over $260 million worldwide. The sequel ''Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle'' opened in the United States on June 27, 2003, and was number one at the box office for that weekend and made a worldwide total of more than $259 million.

* AWorldWidePunomenon: Eh, the whole second movie.

* WithMyHandsTied: Dylan knocks out three bad guys (after [[CassandraTruth describing in detail what she would do]]) while tied to a broken chair.

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: Reportedly it was AynRand 's favourite show and Farrah Fawcett was her top choice for the role of Dagny Taggart if ''AtlasShrugged'' was ever turned into a movie.[[hottip:*:Unfortunately the movie version arrived two years after Miss Fawcett passed away.]]

** In the first film, the house in which the two kids are playing a videogame when a naked Dylan comes knocking is the same house from ''{{ET}}''.

* ShoutOut: In the first movie, the scene where Bosley is kept prisoner in the tower contains references to ''TheGreatEscape'' and ''TheBirdmanOfAlcatraz''.

* DidNotDoTheResearch: The fictional country of Ukita was stated to be a republic. But why does the show state that the leaders are a monarch?

* LesYay: Natalie and Madison.

* BabyGotBack: The movies never shy away from booty focus. So much that the cast actually spoofed it in [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r3HAYuNbdaM this]] video.

* RuleOfCool / RuleOfFunny

1976-1981 TV Series about three female private eyes, who would receive their briefings from TheVoice, "Charlie".

* MultipleDemographicAppeal: Depending on who you ask, the show was either a landmark step forward for feminism by showing smart, tough women in the non-traditional roles of wife/secretary/housekeeper, or a slightly sexist JiggleShow which consisted solely of hot women running around in bathing suits. They're kinda both right.

* BoredOnBoard: Poor, poor Bill Murray. His career was at a low point at this time and he seems rather painfully aware that he has no buisiness at all being in this movie.

* ThePeteBest or TheOtherMarty: Robert Wagner was set to be the voice of Charlie (replacing the late John Forsythe) but was prevented by scheduling conflicts.

Cancelled after four episodes.

* RuleAbidingRebel: "Toni's Boys"
