Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle is an action/comedy film, the second of the Charlie's Angels cinematic releases.

The movie was directed by McG, and starred Cameron Diaz, Drew Barrymore, Lucy Liu (as the three "angels" Natalie, Dylan and Alex, respectively), with Bernie Mac (as Bosley) and Demi Moore. John Forsythe returned as the voice of Charlie, and Crispin Glover reprised his "Thin Man" role from the first movie. John Cleese and Robert Forster also appear.

The sequel, although allegedly superior in stuntwork, special effects, and art design, was largely panned by critics and moviegoers because they felt that the angels' seeming ability to know and do anything had been stretched a tad too thin. (For example, one of the angels uses a blacklight to discover a footprint which she then attributes to a special limited edition type of sneaker issued only to people in a certain profession.) However, many fans of the original television series prefer this film to the previous, feeling that it comes closer to the spirit of the show by reinforcing the fact that the films aren't merely remakes, but rather a continuation of the series. (As referenced in the angels' discussion of replacements, Jaclyn Smith's cameo, and Charlie's gallery of former angels.)

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 but didn't make as much money as the studio had hoped.

Plot

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

Image:Charlies Angels Full Throttle movie still.jpg In this film the angels are hired to locate a set of stolen titanium rings that when put together in a special machine will display a list of all individuals in the witness protection program. It is revealed that angel Dylan was once named Helen Zass (making her the "butt" of many jokes) and is in the program herself. Furthermore it appears that whoever has stolen the rings is attempting to sell them to the highest bidder amongst the various mafia groups in the world. It is eventually revealed that former angel Madison Lee (Demi Moore) is the perpetrator of the crimes.

Tagline: This summer the Angels are back.

Trivia

The movie starts up abruptly. However there is a series of on-line animated episodes that explains how the Angels got there and their mission, concluded by the very introduction of the movie.
