Charlie's Angels filmography

Charlie’s Angels was a 1970’s TV show about three female detectives who work for the mysterious Charlie Townsend, a man who spoke but was never seen. The women were all ex-cops who, fed up with being stereotyped by their sex into working as secretaries and metermaids, want some action. They were tough fighting women, who spent a lot of time in bikinis and tight tops, just to make sure the boys watched it too.

In 2000, the characters were adapted into a box office hit. The angels were remoulded in the form of Cameron Diaz, Drew Barrymore and Lucy Liu. On a mission to retrieve stolen software for Knox Technologies, the beautiful angles get to blow up stuff, beat men and women up, drive fast cars and run around in very skimpy clothing, all while balancing on high heels. Remarkable.

Charlie's Angels biography

Drew Barrymore was a huge "Harry Potter" fan, even going so far as to read bits of the books to the cast and crew during production. At the beginning of the film, during the clips of previous jobs, she can be seen wearing a Harry Potter disguise, complete with robes, black hair and round black glasses.

The secret language the Angels use is Finnish, though very poorly pronounced. They said in Finnish: Alex: Onko sinun ja Knoxin välillä menossa jotain? Dylan: Ei tietenkään. Natalie: On vain niin, että suhteet asiakkaiden kanssa ovat tosi huonoja ideoita. Dylan: Olen samaa mieltä. Translated roughly in English: Alex: Is there something going on between you and Knox? Dylan: Of course not. Natalie: It's just that relationships with customers are very bad ideas. Dylan: I agree. Drew Barrymore's pronunciation was the best.
