| Charlie's Angels (2000) | comment |
Once upon a time there was a very successful TV series about three female private detectives. They worked for a mysterious man called Charlie who was never seen, and who called them his "Angels". Almost 20 years after the last episode aired, the franchise was revived as a pair of theatrical films, set in the early 2000's, with a new set of Angels.It is worth noting that the movie series is not a Continuity Reboot of the series, but a continuation. These movies star Cameron Diaz (Natalie), Lucy Liu (Alex) and Drew Barrymore (Dylan) as the Angels, with John Forsythe returning as the voice of Charlie.It received a sequel starring the same Angels in 2003, called Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle. Tropes for that film can go there.A continuation of the story premiered on November 15, 2019, starring Naomi Scott, Kristen Stewart, and Ella Balinska as the titular trio, with Elizabeth Banks directing, producing and playing Bosley. Tropes for that film can go there. | |

Bench Breaker: Dylan breaks her chair with a flip, although her hands stay tied after the chair is broken. Not that it stops her from beating up some Mooks. | |

| Charlie's Angels (2000) / int_11ee737 | comment |
Artistic License – Ornithology: Natalie pinpoints the Big Bad's fortress by listening to a bird call over her connection to Bosley, being held captive there. She pinpoints the bird as a pygmy nuthatch, which she says is only found in Carmel, California. Two problems: 1) The bird depicted was not a pygmy nuthatch, and 2) even if it were, the nuthatch's range goes from Mexico all the way into British Columbia. | |

Misplaced Wildlife | |
| Charlie's Angels (2000) / int_17a45ff5 | comment |
Misplaced Wildlife: The Pygmy Nuthatch is a South American Tropical, a relation to the oriole — a much bigger and different coloured bird. Pygmy Nuthatches are not found in one small spot like Natalie declares either. And the call heard in the movie matches neither bird. | |

Soft Glass | |
| Charlie's Angels (2000) / int_1b4ead2d | comment |
Soft Glass: Despite presumably having been hurled through a glass transom by Natalie and Alex (so she can unblock the door from the other side), Dylan not only manages to break the glass with her body, but is completely uninjured. When Knox shoots at Dylan and she's thrown back through the shattering glass window (the bullet only hit the window behind her), she egregiously has no scratch on her despite being completely nude at the time. | |

The Klutz | |
| Charlie's Angels (2000) / int_1bdbbbae | comment |
The Klutz: Bosley is still prone to acts of clumsiness, usually used for comedy. When trying to light his fireplace he ends up causing a minor explosion (for seemingly no reason) and hurts himself. He accidentally deactivates his mouth microphone while eating sushi and then accidentally reactivates it days later by hitting himself in the face with a softball, having apparently forgotten to even remove it. | |

| Charlie's Angels (2000) / int_2bdae2ae | comment |
Awesome, but Impractical: Sure, the security surrounding the server room (or the mainframe as they call it) is flawless, only really resourceful spies managed to break through it. And yet it's so ridiculously impractical that it'd be literally impossible to maintain. The two-step biometric barrier isn't enough, there has to be pressure sensitivity that sounds the alarm after less than a second. Literally every time something went wrong with the servers that whole security system would have to be brought down for anything to be done. | |

Pac-Man Fever | |

Pac Man Fever: Dylan stumbles upon two kids playing Final Fantasy VIII with two 3rd party PlayStation controllers and button-mashing unrealistically while out-of-place sound-effects play — though the sound effects are not particularly old-sounding and not from Pac-Man. The really bad part is that Final Fantasy VIII is not only a game for which Button Mashing is counterproductive (unless you're charging up your GF summons), but that it's NOT a two-player game, but a single-player JRPG. | |

Actor Allusion: The house in which the two kids are playing a videogame when a naked Dylan comes knocking is the same house from E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial. Dylan can also be seen wearing a Harry Potter themed disguise at the start of the first film. Drew Barrymore is a massive fan of the series and nearly had a cameo in the first Potter film. Bill Murray mentions talking to a squirrel, a reference to his talking to a gopher in Caddyshack. | |

Naked People Trapped Outside: Dylan is throw out a window dressed only in a Modesty Bedsheet after getting shot by Knox. The sheet is caught on the window and she hangs by it as it slowly unravels and slows down her fall, but she still ends rolling naked down a hill into a family's backyard. She then picks up an inflatable, donut-shaped pool floater to cover herself and knocks on the glass door to ask the family for help. When she meets back up with Natalie and Alex she's wearing a goofy "Stone Cold" Steve Austin T-shirt. | |

Wire Dilemma: Discussed when Alex is introduced helping her actor boyfriend rehearse a scene where his character has to defuse a bomb. Jason wonders why his character wouldn't just rip all the wires out and Alex replies that it's probably a dummy mechanism that will trigger an immediate explosion if removed. | |

Lean and Mean | |

Lean and Mean: The Thin Man, one of the goons of the Big Bad, can stand toe-to-toe with all three angels and yet can also somersault through the bars of a fence. Ironically, the typically rail-thin actor Crispin Glover put on some muscle for the role, making his thinness a bit of an Informed Attribute. | |

Super-Detailed Fight Narration: Dylan is captured by Knox and tied to a chair. She manages to free her legs and then spends the next few seconds describing in detail how she's going to kick the Mooks' asses before "moonwalking out of there". The fight goes exactly as she described, except for the last part, because what she does can in no way be described as a moonwalk (doesn't matter if a Michael Jackson song is playing in the background). | |

Blown Across the Room | |
| Charlie's Angels (2000) / int_a4916876 | comment |
Blown Across the Room: Complicatedly subverted. When Eric Knox is revealed as the Big Bad after sleeping with Dylan, he shoots her, propelling her through a massive window. But later, we flashback to that gunshot and see that the shot missed, flying right by Dylan's ear. Dylan actually mimics this trope, propelling herself backwards as if she'd been shot, allowing herself to head backwards through the glass window - which had been shattered by the unblocked bullet. Two tropes subverted for the price of one. | |

Whip of Dominance: In order to get access to a security room in the Red Star firm, the Angels infiltrate the building while Alex pretends to be an efficiency expert there to train the software engineers. But for an extra distraction (and for Fanservice) Alex plays a Dominatrix type of instructor, complete with a domineering attitude, a skintight black ensemble and a large riding crop that she constantly whips around to make a point, complete with a loud whipcrack sound effect whenever she does. Naturally, all of the horny tech nerds get completely enraptured by her and she causes enough of a commotion that Natalie and Dylan can sneak around undetected. | |

Shout-Out: The scene where Bosley is kept prisoner in the tower contains references to The Great Escape and Birdman of Alcatraz. The "soap gun" is also a reference to John Dillinger's famous escape. When Dylan falls into the garden of the house where two kids are playing games, it is actually the same house from E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, which starred a very young Drew Barrymore. Not only that, but an E.T. poster can also be found in this scene. | |

| Charlie's Angels (2000) / int_ce147566 | comment |
Weak Boss, Strong Underlings: Compared to the original series, this trope gets taken to the next level. The Angels now perform more dangerous (and cool) stunts while in combat, meaning that they are at Olympic athlete level in terms of physical prowess instead of the reasonably athletic they are in the original. Also, the films have them efficiently use guns of greater caliber and bladed weapons as well as more acrobatic martial arts. Their boss Charlie, by contrast, is still the old Retired Badass he's always been. | |

Girls with Moustaches: Natalie and Dylan use this as a disguise when they break into a corporate headquarters. Justified - the technicians to the server room they impersonated while breaking in were men and it helped hide the fact they were going full Bifauxnen. | |

Hair Flip: Used very often and very intentionally, to the point of parody. Natalie does this in order to attract the attention of her Love Interest. It's even underscored by a gong going off in the background and a dramatic zoom on his reaction. Alex does this in every single close-up. | |

All Girls Want Bad Boys | |
| Charlie's Angels (2000) / int_db2f3581 | comment |
All Girls Want Bad Boys: It is somewhat of a running gag throughout the movies that Dylan always falls for the bad guy. Example: Eric Knox (who she sleeps with, although this is before she knows that he's the Big Bad) and the Thin Man (who was originally going to kiss Alex, according to the filmmakers, but they changed it to Dylan, in keeping with her lust for bad boys). Also, it was revealed that The Dragon of the second film's, Big Bad was her ex-boyfriend. The last case is arguably a subversion since she turned him in when she saw him murder someone. | |

As Long as It Sounds Foreign: There's a scene where the angels speak Finnish to each other. They discuss what a bad idea it would be to sleep with a client, but this is not what it says in the subtitles. Things get increasingly weird if you watch the movie with Finnish subtitles, which also don't match what's said. | |

When the sheet does get ripped off, it's still close enough to the ground for the fall to not be fatal. | |

Obvious Villain, Secret Villain: The appropriately named Creepy Thin Man is the obvious villain, having two encounters with the Angels and supposedly serving as an enforcer to whomever ordered Eric Knox abducted for his new software. At first the Angels, and by proxy the audience, is led to believe that the Big Bad is Redstar CEO Roger Corwin. However, Corwin is revealed to be a Red Herring: the secret villain is Knox himself who faked his own abduction as part of a plan to find and murder the Angels' boss Charlie. | |
