I think it's time we revisit "Charlies Angels" (2000) 20 Years Later, and its sequel "Full Throttle" (2003)

No Beamish? No Margo?

I like the first for what it is, and hate the second for what it is. The second went too over the top and added tons of skimpy outfits and was all over the place.

If my sister was on here she would rant about Bosley suddenly being black and no one acknowledging he suddenly looks different lol

Darrin Stephens was suddenly gay and no one made a big thing of it.

Drew is miscast. She’s so odd.

R4 she’s a lot of people’s fav Angel

They are just popcorn movies, the audience is not supposed to think at all. The original was cute and fun. The sequel, on the other hand, went way over the top and not in a good way. Believe it or not, Ebert gave the sequel 2 1/2 stars but gave the original 1/2 star.

Demi was said to have more than $100,000 worth of body work before she filmed CAs

I liked the second one better than the first, probably one of only about eight people who can say the same.

R8 really? Why? I just watched it and the first half was a lot of fun but by the final act it’s so sloppy and TOO over the top, not in a good way.

Fuck Bill Murray.

I made sure he didn't return for the sequel.

That's power, baby.

Bernie Mac was one of the few improvements the sequel had. I actually preferred his Bosley to Murray’s

I thought the first one was cute, the second one was stupid but Demi looked like a billion dollars

They had a little reunion on Drew’s new show

This film was supposed to be Demi Moore's comeback movie but the only thing it did was to establish once and for all that she was a movie star as opposed to an actress.

Demi took years off then agreed to do this. She was contacted and offered the part, and she agreed because it was a pivotal role without many scenes, and they were paying her like $12 million to do it.

Seriously, watch the Boat fight scene. It’s SO OVER THE TOP. McG def overdid it with this one.

I think he did because some of the critics who dissed the first one criticized it for not having bigger more extravagant action scenes and having too much comedy. Look at what happened with the sequel.

Thandie Newton was originally cast as the 3rd Angel. She dropped out and Lucy Liu was cast.

I like the over the top approach of the sequel. They were all having fun and camped it up. Demi looked fabulous and was a fun villain.

I also preferred Bernie Mac to Bill Murray.

R8, maybe it was 9 people! I preferred Full Throttle over the original too!

12 Million? I don't believe it.

Full Throttle had good eye candy.

Bill Murray is kind of a jerk, he's said more than once that he wants McG dead, and there have been rumors that he attacked McG on set. But Murray gets away with it because of his lovable eccentric routine.

R20 did you forget what a big star Demi was? She was the highest laid actress in Hollywood in the 90s, being paid $12 million per film in her peak.

She did take a pay cut for Full Throttle but she was paid around $8 million still.

For the first, the salaries were

Cameron Diaz- $12 million

Drew Barrymore- $9 million

Lucy Liu- $1 million only

R23, was that intentional? You said Demi was the highest "laid" actress in Hollywood.

For the second, the salaries were...

Cameron Diaz- $20 million

Drew Barrymore- $14 million

Lucy Liu- $4 million

I get Liu was newer and not the star the other two were, but damn

R24 meant paid... but that fits too.

I found a forum discussing the salaries for Full Throttle from back in 2003. It’s like a time capsule Lol

What was Sharon Stone paid for CATWOMAN? Because her career was about as dead as Demi's at that time...

Drew Barrymore owns (or did at the time at least) the Charlie’s Angels film rights. She was in charge and cast herself.

From 2003 for the sequel

For "Full Throttle," she paid herself a $14 million salary (as opposed to Diaz's $20 million and Liu's $4 million). She'll also take home 12 percent of the film's gross earnings, plus a producing fee.

I liked Drew’s look in the second one - the shorter hair really suited her and gave her a tougher vibe. Beautiful and a tad butch.

The hair was also darker. It was more Orange in the first to not keep her blonde, since Cameron was blonde. They couldn’t have two blonde Angels.

Then in the second she went darker

These two films were better than the shit fest that Elizabeth Banks passed off as a Charlie's Angels movie.

Bernie Mac was miscast for the second one. His character didn't go as well with the girls as Bill Murray's did. I know the circumstances behind why Bill Murray left, but they should have gotten a replacement instead of completely changing the character to tailor Bernie (RIP).

R33 i don't know what they were thinking casting Patrick Stewart. His "action" scenes were laughable.

Patrick had action scenes???

Try as I might I habent gotten through the second one even once. And, btw, was Jaclyn Smiths cameo filmed while she was standing on the sun?

Demi Moore looked like a million bucks. Incredible

R36 he flips Elizabeth Banks over a dance floor 😆

I remember thinking a lot of the scenes and the story in the new movie were actually good, but it didn’t feel like a CA film. It would have worked better as something different.

I enjoyed the first one - wasn't great "cinema" but a bit of silly fun. The second one was a mess.

The recent reboot was a complete mess - from what I've read. The funny thing is that the people complaining about not enough women in lead roles should be the most outraged at how badly that movie was screwed up. The Angels should be icons of tough, badass AND feminine women. Instead, we got that crapshow.
