Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle

Corrected entry: The Angels are searching for the two rings which, when combined, reveal the list for The Witness Protection Program. Firstly, that list continues to grow to this day so why even bother with the rings; secondly, why would two highly important people in the US Government knowingly wear one?

Correction: The list on the rings could be updated at regular intervals. Important members of the US Government would wear one because anyone wanting to steal them would - hopefully - be discouraged by the fact that these people would have high security.

Corrected entry: When Demi Moore pushes the Angels off the building, Lucy Liu's shirt is white. When she hits the ground and the sprinklers turn on, her shirt is beige. When Lucy gets up, still wet, her shirt has gone back to white. (01:21:20)

Correction: The shirt is wet while in the sprinklers, making it look beige. Before the sprinklers it looked off-white, and after the sprinklers it looks off-white again (because the crew didn't wet them down enough for the shot, which was set seconds after the sprinklers - obviously, they'd dried off between takes).

Corrected entry: At the observatory when Madison shoots Ray Carter we see that his shirt gets splattered with blood. In the next shot when he is holding his breast and tumbling backwards, his shirt is clean. (01:14:20)

Correction: Very close observation on DVD zoom - 1) Ray gets shot & 3 chest bursts appear... 2) stumbles back with arms to chest - his arms are covering the shots, making appear as though not there... 3) as he falls back off the roof, the camera angle cannot see that part of his chest.

Corrected entry: Towards the end of the Coal Bowl scene, the Thin Man and his motorcycle smash into a bridge support and you can see that one of his boots falls off or is ripped open to reveal a white athletic sock underneath. In the next shot, both of his boots are on properly and no sock is visible. (00:35:25)

Correction: I don't believe it's a sock, and there's no obvious boot being torn off. However, in the smoke & dust, the left leg/boot on the other side of the falling bike could be mistaken for white - it looks like a plaster cast, actually.

Corrected entry: In the scene where the angels first meet Madison, she is holding her surf board. Then, when she drives away in her car, she seems to forget to put the surf board in before she drives away.

Correction: The surfboard cannot fit in a Ferrari Enzo. Madison chocks the board in the sand, gets in the car & drives away - she doesn't forget it, she abandons it. When you can afford a $650,000 car, you can afford to replace a board.

Corrected entry: Bill Murray did not reprise his role as Bosley in this film because of a massive fallout with Lucy Liu during the filming of the first film. He vowed that he would never work with her again.

Padzter

Correction: On "Access Hollywood" Bill Murray admitted that he and Lucy had had a fight, but it was over some of her lines in the script and they made up shortly after. The real reason he wasn't in the sequel was because he hadn't got along with someone behind the scenes and vowed never to work with that person again, not Lucy.

Corrected entry: When Dylan and Alex are under the surfer's car going through his wallet, they come across a flyer for the motorcycle race they will later attend. Why would there be a flyer for an underground motorcycle race that costs $2,000 to get into and has no rules?

Correction: The flyer is advertising the "Coal Bowl" dirt bike track only. I am sure it would just be an ad to get riders there and then they would find out about the no rules racing.

Correction: It is actually the scarf around her neck that catches fire, not her pants.

Corrected entry: In several shots in the film the 'Bell System' logo on Charlie's speaker disappears and reappears. (00:27:35 - 01:18:00)

Padzter

Correction: This is just because the cameraman alters the zoom between shots - when he's zoomed in, the logo gets cropped. It is a common technique to change zoom during dialogue to make the shot more animated (although it's a bit pointless to do it when one of the protagonists is a speaker).

Oscar Bravo

Corrected entry: In the scene where Demi Moore's character shoots the Angels, she uses .50AE Desert Eagles (they are the only version available with gold plating as a "standard" option). The rounds fired by these guns are so heavy that, even in the highly unlikely eventuality that they did not penetrate the kevlar, they would still have killed the Angels by sheer blunt trauma. (01:17:05)

Correction: All the DE series from Baby Eagle to .50AE are available in gold plate meaning it could have been the .357 round that hit them causing far less damage. Blunt trauma is also unlikely to kill unless directly over the heart or solar plexus. Furthermore, a ballistic plate in the center of the armor can provide even more protection.

Grumpy Scot

Corrected entry: In the first part of the beach scene, Natalie is surfing which means she is wet, but in the scene where she meets Madison Lee for the first time, she is totally dry.

Correction: If you have been to the beach on a hot day you will notice that it only takes a few minutes for your body to dry. Natalie's hair is still wet.

Corrected entry: In the scene where the Angels are investigating the crime scene and spot the footprints, they start talking about the torn ligament in the guy's leg. The computer graphics shows the RIGHT knee with the dodgy ligament. however, in the surfboard scene, they spot him by the scar on his LEFT knee.

Correction: Look closer. As it goes to an x-ray view of the guys leg we are looking at his left shoe and the picture scrolls up to his left knee.

Corrected entry: Madison Lee uses twin gold Desert Eagle .50 handguns. The recoil from Desert Eagles requires you to have the body of Arnold Schwarzenegger to remain standing. Someone with Madison's figure would get knocked on her butt from firing those pistols. (01:17:00)

Correction: The Desert Eagle uses a gas system with a rotating bolt, which eats a lot of the recoil energy. Besides, the .50 Action Express round fired by it is a pistol round, despite being confused by many with the .50BMG machine gun round (as fired by the Browning M2 and the Barrett M82, for instance), and as such does not produce anywhere near as much recoil. In fact, it has less muzzle energy than the Desert Eagle chambered for the .440 Cor-Bon. There would be no difficulty firing the DE, though she would probably stumble a bit considering that she held each one-handed. Consistent with standard movie physics though.

Corrected entry: As they leave the Mongolian bar by the window, Ray Carter is ahead of Alex. But Alex lands first. (00:06:30)

jle

Correction: It is not that Alex lands first, just farther down the hill. Maybe she had more more momentum jumping through the window than he did.

EMTurbo

Corrected entry: In the scene where the angels are going through the surfer dude's things, he is in his towel next to his car, and Drew Barrymore and Lucy Liu are checking him out from under the car. He gets into his car, then in the next shot, Drew Barrymore is still looking up his towel at him, as if he were still standing next to the car.

Correction: She just glances up after the door closes. She isn't looking up his towel because she has a very different expression on her face.

jle

Corrected entry: In the scene where the girls are dancing in the bar at the harbour, Lucy Liu pulls off her right glove with her teeth at the start of the routine and a few shots later she slaps her bum with that hand and it is gloved.

Correction: After she has pulled off the long glove with her teeth there is still another glove on her hand - that's the one she is wearing when she slaps her bum. There is another shot of a bum being slapped by a hand with a long glove - but that's a different dancer since she's wearing a different colour dress.

jle

Corrected entry: A truck containing a camera and crew is visible on the bridge during some of the leaping bike shots within the dirt bike race sequence.

Correction: There is a truck up there but it is not out of place (it is a road leading to the docks) and there is nothing to suggest it is a crew truck.

jle

Corrected entry: At the start of the film, a chopper falls off the truck and we see that the rotor blades are folded up as it begins to fall. A few seconds later when it is falling the blades have unfolded.

Padzter

Correction: The shot which starts with the helicopter leaving the truck with its rotors folding continues to show them unfolding.

jle

Corrected entry: In the scene where Cameron Diaz is moving in with her boyfriend, look at when Lucy Liu is holding the TV. The whole time she is holding it, and after she hands it to her boyfriend, the remote stays perfectly balanced on the top. It is obviously glued down.

Correction: Some people use Velcro to prevent wandering remotes.

Corrected entry: Dylan mentions that she and Seamus spent a lot of time 'driving around listening to metal'. There is then a cut to a flashback with Livin' on a Prayer playing. I'll freely admit that I'm no expert on musical genres, but Bon Jovi are rock, not metal.

Correction: Surely this was meant to be a joke, I got the impression that she was trying to make her and Seamus sound cooler than they actually were.

Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle mistake picture

Continuity mistake: In the beginning of the movie when the Angels are rescuing the US Marshall, Lucy Liu is wearing stiletto heeled boots. When they jump out of the window, the heels are square. (00:01:30 - 00:06:40)
