Revealing mistake: When the Angels are fighting the "Creepy Thin Man," right before Drew Barrymore lifts up Lucy Liu to spin her around and kick the thin man, to get Lucy's attention, Drew hollers out "Lucy!" even though Lucy Liu's character's name is "Alex." (00:26:20 - 00:27:25)

2. 2/10. Oh boy was this an unnecessary movie. Based off the cheesy, T&A show of the 70's in which many boys became men from watching, it stinks. The plot's utter nonsense, software that can help locate someone by voice pattern? Oh wow, James Bond's got nothing on them in terms of ridiculousness. Two of them, Diaz and Barrymore, are self proclaimed potheads who should be stoned 24/7 as they're terrible actresses. Granted they've done the Shrek franchise, The Mask, Scream, The Wedding Singer, and 50 First Dates, but they stink. Bill Murray and Lucy Liu can only do so much with these two and a thread bare plot.
Trivia: When Drew Barrymore is mostly naked and knocks on the window of a house, it is the same house that she lived in in the movie E.T., the Extra-Terrestrial.
Question: Does anyone know the story behind the "Creepy Thin Man?" Like why he likes to pull hair and smell it? Anything that helps me understand his character is appreciated.

Answer: This character gets a backstory in the sequel (Charlie's Angels Full Throttle). Supposedly he was a runaway from a circus, who found refuge at an orphanage. He didn't much like haircuts when he was little.
