Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle Widescreen Unrated Special Edition: Amazon.ca: Cameron Diaz, Drew Barrymore, Lucy Liu, Bernie Mac, Crispin Glover: DVD

Product Description

Additional Features

Outstanding picture and sound plus tons of features make Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle a fully loaded DVD. Don't expect more T&A in the unrated edition, however. The only difference is glimpses of more intense violence in a few of the fight scenes. For example, in the theatrical version you'll see an angel flying through the air, but in the unrated version you'll then see her lying expressionless on the ground. Also, blood flies out of Drew Barrymore's mouth in one scene. On his commentary track, director McG discusses inside jokes, visual effects, and shots that didn't quite work for him. Like a TV sportscaster, he uses a telestrator, but only to occasionally circle items of interest or draw arrows. There's also an amusing commentary track by the three writers, who chuckle over inside jokes and discuss how the film was changed from the original script. They preface their comments with: "I guess they asked us to do this just to prove that writers worked on this movie." "Who are we kidding? Who's listening to this right now?"

If you want still more info, there's a trivia track with pop-up factoids with occasional links to more featurettes, a jukebox that offers clips of 11 songs and explanations of why they were picked, a cameo-graphy that offers clips of 13 personalities and why we should know them, and eight 4- to 18-minute featurettes exploring such topics as stunts, vehicles, costumes, and the Pussycat Dolls dance troupe. And in the next evolution of product placement, the DVD-ROM "Shop the Scene" feature allows you to search for a character's outfit or gadget then buy it online. --David Horiuchi

This review is from: Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle (Widescreen Unrated Special Edition) (DVD)

Mere words cannot describe just how awful this movie is. While I was certainly not expecting Shakespeare in the Park, I did expect something resembling a storyline and dialogue that sounded like it was coming from people with more than two brain cells to rub together. I'm sure the audience is supposed to just ignore the Matrix-wannabe fight scenes, but this just went too far out. I'm all for the "girl power" idea that Drew Barrymore thinks she is portraying in this movie, but back flips and martial arts moves in four inch stilletos? Puh-leeze! The only bright spots of this mish-mash of a movie are Bernie Mac and Demi Moore - who unlike the present angels, looks like someone who actually could kick some a## (trust me, the present angels are so ditzy and insipid, you are praying that Demi Moore will succeed in killing them). But even the only two characters that don't make you want to retch look embarrassed at some of the dialogue they are forced to speak in this ridiculous movie. The first movie was silly, but had a few fun moments... this one is just plain bad unless you're a fourteen year old boy in search of a T&A fest.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not As Good As The Original Film, July 11 2004

By

TommyElf (Denton, TX) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle (Widescreen Unrated Special Edition) (DVD)

Not a bad film. Very cheesy in places, tons of extremely bad puns, even more bad one-liners. Out of this world martial arts (IOW, stuff no one on this planet could possibly do), fantastic fight scenes, comic book realism. Lots of nice shots of Cameron Diaz and Lucy Liu - unfortunately, plenty of shots of Drew Barrymore (this girl just ain't hot to me). Demi Moore plays an excellent Bad Angel, and looks the part very well (yum). Bernie Mac replaces Bill Murray as the character of Bosley. There's even a cameo from Jaclyn Smith as her character from the TV series.

Let's dig into the meat of it all. We all know (at least we do now), that I care little for Drew Barrymore. So let's toss that off to the side. Cameron and Lucy are hot, hot, hot. Excellent outfits, they look fantastic - and we get Cameron's smile all throughout the film, a major plus in my book. Demi Moore does an excellent job with her character, although we don't see much of the character throughout the movie - a true shame, but her character had a lot of flair to it. Bernie Mac. Could they have picked a worse follow-on character for Bill Murray's Bosley?? Hardly. Bernie's character is boring, not funny, and totally miscast. We get a return of the "Thin Man" character from the first film, but again, it is botched in trying to explain his origins.

The fight scenes are simply incredible. And I mean that in a fantastical sense - one where reality becomes comic-bookish. Once you get past that idea, and settle on the comic-book flavor of the movie - the fight scenes become a lot of fun to watch. Lucy's kicks are just incredible to watch, and once again the outfits are great. Unfortunately, one cannot say that about the plot. Poorly written - cheesy, campy, tons of plot holes to drive the VIII Corps through....but its fun. Again, you have to adopt the comic-book flavor of the movie - and what you get...is a lot of fun, once you suspend the concept of reality correctness.

One outstanding thing about this movie is its soundtrack. Upbeat, matching the scenes that they are placed in, the songs really add a positive flair to the movie.

Three stars out of five. Not the greatest film to go see - it doesn't live up to the original - but its still fun.
