Charlie's Angels is fun, but also pretty damn cheesy. We had a great time doing a movie commentary and reaction for it, despite its weaker moments. We'll probably get to the sequel sooner or later, but we've obviously got a few other sequels to do first. Next commentary and reaction video will be for Lilo & Stitch!

YESSSS!!! when I was a kid a wanted to be Lucy Liu so bad, she was EVERYTHING 🙌🙌
Yea zzavid is here
zzavid you need to watch this and full throttle EXPEDITIOUSLY! this is up your alley hunny
Pleaseee do commentary for both movies 🥺
Zzavid 💜💜💜
Much love Zzavid 😁❤️ - Sam
This movie is not without controversy: Bill Murray, Bosley, got into a fight with Lucy Liu, saying that she has "no talent and that she's a TV actress and nothing more." Murray was then replaced by Bernie Mac in the sequel.
Yeah, we heard about that while editing. Pretty uncool - Sam
OMG a movie set with actors that don’t like each other. That has NEVER happened before or since.
@@qwi2311 What are you doing?
@@qwi2311 OMG someone leaves an unnecessarily snarky comment on the internet. That has NEVER happened before or since🙄
well now he looks like an ashtray and lucy liu looks the same
When Sam didn’t know who Tim Curry was, I almost cried. He was the original IT, Rocky Horror, Clue, Home Alone 2… all movies you should add to your reaction / review list!
100%👏🤗 tell them girl🤣
I was sad too, but Stef’s reaction of pure joy def helped. 😆
And if you ever watched any 90s-2000s animated movie... He was probably in it
@@stephonix616 how I feel every time I see Tim Curry XD
Clue is one of my favourite mystery movie's of all time I hope they do a commentary on it.
Corny: yes
Part of my childhood: also yes
Did I want to grow up to be one of them:…yes
The film was produced by Drew Barrymore's production company. The whole thing is an exaggeration/parody of old spy movies so thats why its so dramatic. Also I don't think the outfits are to sexualize them, I believe it added to the parody and empowerment. As cheesy as it is, it pumped me up as a young girl for sure lol! Definitely outdated racially though.
Women wearing scantily clad outfits to do action being held up as sexy badasses is a smokescreen for the fact that putting ladies in practically nothing sells tickets. It doesn't mean it can't be empowering, but that's not really the reason they did it. In the movie industry, it's all about the money. Two things can be true at the same time. I loved TV shows like Xena: Warrior Princess and Charmed growing up, and yes it is nice to feel like it's okay to dress sexy and be respected at the same time. I think a lot of executives like to pretend that's why they did it, but it's really more about business. Hollywood is always conveniently woke when it is lucrative to be so.
They are still sexualizing.
@@theoneandonlyCatseye Yeah, I guess its more that I want to think they meant well but that is too much to expect from a big Hollywood production from the 2000s. The little girl in me appreciated the outfits for the reasons I stated though. So you right haha
I know you guys complain about the myriad of outfits but that was actually a big part of what made the original show so iconic, so I totally understand why they went completely overboard with it
Yes after all they are spies and need "disguises"
I don’t think having a lot disguises is the problem, I feel like they were pointing out how almost every disguise was either revealing, skin tight, or based on a stereotype. It makes sense with the vibe of the movie and the time it was made in, but that doesn’t mean we can’t discuss why it’s not the best costuming.
@@StarGleekPotterhead but it’s the best costuming for this movie. I love that everything is revealing honestly. Sometimes in movies it’s an eye roll moment but with films like this it’s so OBVIOUSLY sexy and like idk, why is that bad? Women are hot 🤷🏻♀️ and as a woman it’s nice to feel that way, n this movie made woman feel like we could be rockstars without guilt and without being pandered to like they do constantly now days
@@megteg Why do women have to wear revealing clothing to be sexy. Men don't have to. Think about that for a second Meg. The only time men wear revealing is when they wear a bathing suite. Nothing is wrong with women being sexy but have you you ever thought why the rarely make revealing clothes for men? Why do women have to sexually objectify themselves for attention?
@@lisah8438 well I would disagree that men wearing revealing clothing isn’t also sexy haha marvel has to have a shirtless scene for every superhero for a reason 😏 and if ur on tik tok for more then like 10 mins you’ll stumble upon thirst traps and find out just how many men get attention for wearing smaller amounts of clothes/sexy clothes whilst doing various activities.
Also, I never said women HAVE to wear revealing clothing to be sexy. It’s just one way to be sexy. Probably the most obvious way haha but context is important and in Charlie’s angels I personally think the context makes the sexy outfits work.
I actually liked how they hypersexualized the female characters, because the main point of the series/movies is women's ability to use men's blind sexualization of the female body against them. "It takes on average 7 seconds longer for a man to recognize a woman as a threat" was their shtick for the whole franchise, and it really is true. So it gave us a franchise that showed women are, to some degree, WAY better spies than men because we slip under the radar and are incredible at manipulating men by flipping the script while simultaneously looking AMAZING, and often leaving the "victims" utterly clueless and even *happy* that they were scammed/manipulated. Sure, they added a TON of campiness and absurd action sequences for the entertainment portion, because it IS a movie, but I think it was pulled off very well. At the very least it was WAYYYYY better than the garbage remake that came out recently.
Also, I'm gonna just say it: *Women are hot.* I, a straight woman, like looking at other hot women. So the franchise was a win-win-win in my book.
Best comment ever. I, a straight woman too, like looking at other hot women very much
Yes! As a straight woman who also loves looking at attractive women, it has played a large part in me subconsciously determining my favorite movies and musical artists
100% agree👑this movie is amazing
Same. As a straight woman I love seeing these ladies strut their stuff. They do it in a way that shows they are SMART, not just things for men to look at and wear as accessories. It’s cool :)
I agree 👌 a woman’s sensuality can be a weapon.
I encourage you to do the sequel - Bernie is a better Bosley, there's more depth to all the main characters and in general I think it does a much better job fleshing out its universe
In my opinion this is the best"Charlie's Angels"movie.It's true that the 2nd has more depth and background stories,but I always enjoy this more in general *and* this Bosley is literally the *only* Bosley who didn't annoy me! I can't stand the one from the 2nd movie and the most recent movie was just an *INSULT* from that point of view,I was so shocked and angry at how it ended!!!🤬🤬🤬
I like the 2nd film! React to it.
@petal drops We said there's _more_ depth than in the 1st movie,we never said there's *a lot* of depth.ù.ù
Yeah, when I think of Bosley my mind immediately goes to Bernie Mac. I lowkey forgot Bill was in the first one lmao
Drew Barrymore was dating Tom Green at the time (they wed and divorced eventually) and she was also an executive producer (her production company is Flower Films) so that'd answer your question about why he's there lmaooooo
Their marriage lasted about 6 months, probably for the best. I never really got why people thought Green was funny.
@@TheCrayonMaster Tom Greens whole thing was wanting to make the audience cringe and be shocked. While it never made me laugh, it def got a reaction from me and I'm sure that is what Green was always going for. It's pure absurdist , self-humiliating humor but it was also rebellious and unique at the time. And tbh, it had a big impact. Without Green we may have never seen the likes of Jackass, The Eric Andre Show, The Tim and Eric Show, Nathan For You, You Should Leave, etc.
@@BlackavarWD I'm pretty sure he doesn't. Did you mean a different one?
@@zeechops401 Yeah, that's probably why I didn't like him, I've never liked cringe humour. *shrug* The only thing I recognized from your list is The Eric Andre show and Jackass, and I've never seen Jackass. I get what you're saying, I've just never understood why he was big at the time. But, obviously, shock and cringe humour aren't my kinds of things so. :)
@@TheCrayonMaster
Oh yeah... It's on *The Real Slim Shady* song/video, thanks
Lmaooooo, interesting tid bit here... Crispin Glover HATED the lines his character was meant to be delivering in the script so much that he decided to portray the Thin Man as a mute 😂 😂 😂 😂 honestly think it works for the better but I do wonder what was the stuff he'd have to say 🤔
Probably some weird lines to do with hair 😅
Prob some silly stuff hahaha
Mostly exposition.
The most controversial thing about this movie is how in that japanese massage scene Lucy Liu oiled up her hands only to massage Tim Curry with her feet. And then she held on to the bar on the ceiling with her oily af hands so as not to slip and fall.
Lol 😂
I LOVED this movie as a young woman, and still do now! I don't find it sexist because the female characters use tropes to their advantage and are always in the power position. And from a woman's perspective, I find it empowering watching women embrace their sexuality and capabilities at the same time :) it doesn't have to be an either-or situation.
Yesss thank you 👏👏
Yeah, these guys didn't get this movie at all.
@Daffy I think if the Budz knew that Drew Barrymore was the producer, they would have watched it through different eyes
@petal drops If they were always in positions of power then they would be Mary Sues you know XD? Like any character for us to give a damn needs to have some form of stakes/failure.
@@krismarshall3803 This person just hates all
Men and women who don’t think like her. She’s what you would call a fake feminists, she’s all for women’s rights until they say or do something she didn’t agree with. We find this movie empowering but she demands we think like her.
Charlie’s Angels = Childhood crushes 🥰🥰
A campy and silly film filled with mindless fun that wraps up in 90 odd minutes. You have an absolute bombshell (Lucy Liu), a child star who survived the perils of show business and emerged triumphant as an adult (Drew Barrymore) , practically the ULTIMATE FEMALE MOVIE STAR of the late 90's/early 00's (Cameron Diaz) leading the film AND kicking ass with multiple character actors (Bill Murray, Tim Curry, Crispin Glover and Sam Rockwell) showing up. What's NOT to love about this film? 😂
OVERJOYED to see this is an utter understatement and don't even care about the sound issues. I absolutely LOVE this film, when I was 5 😂 😂 😂 I rented this from the Nepalese (I'm from Nepal originally) equivalent of a Blockbuster 12 times in a single month till the point where my mother got fed up and demanded my father to get me the DVD so I could own the film for good 🤦♂️ 🤭 😂
I’m getting that vibe for this movie. So many ppl said it was a childhood classic for them. Fun movie, for sure. Lots of odd stuff tho 😂 - Sam
I’m with you! It’s one of my go-to movies for feeling better any time. Luckily for me I was old enough to buy it for myself as soon as it came out on DVD. Great parents to do that for you!
My son loved it at that age too! It's one of like...10 DVD dvdz I still have
I feel you. When we had the VCD (?)/ DVD of this movie, trust that I watched this way too many times per week. Lol
I loved it as a kid as well! I wanted to BE Lucy Lu so bad
They played into the tropes of the show, but they were in on the joke. The hand as an antenna thing is also a joke; have your parents never asked you to help the TV reception by holding the antenna? It sometimes improves when you move the other arm around.
No, because TVs needing antennas to receive tv channels stopped being a thing in the 80s with cable and satellite. Then it completely died out in the 2000’s with the mandated switch to digital and then to HD. It’s like seeing static/white noise or the end of broadcast day playing the anthem in Poltergeist or being pestered by various groups wanting donations in airports in Airplane! Those were all things that existed but no longer do, so younger people don’t have that context, especially since they’re no longer referenced in newer movies or shows.
@@chrissmith6097 I’m 25 and my grandmother had an antenna tv…
i love how this movie was obviously made for men and for the men gaze but i only have ever heard negative things from men and how all my girl friends love this movie 😂😂
literally. one of my fav movies since I was like 9. It’s kinda like Jennifer’s body. It was meant for men but it’s only straight lesbian women/ppl who love it
I think it was made for men and women. Women love this movie like you said so it speaks for itself
@@dess234 Jennifer's Body wasn't made for men, though. I think in that interview the screenwriter of the movie, Diablo Cody, made with Megan Fox, she said she wrote it for teenage girls. The movie was always meant for young girls but it was marketed for young men.
@@skadinix it was catered to men which is why it did poorly in the box office when it should’ve been catered more towards women. I know the story wasn’t mean for straight men, but it did poorly in the box office cause Megan was the lead and ofc back then, Megan was seen as the sex symbol in every movie she was in, so they marketed it for men when it should’ve been for women.
@@dess234 the movie itself doesn't cater to young men, though. it was very clearly directed and written in a way that catered to women, and especially LGBTQ+ women. it was the marketing specifically that focused on (straight) young men and teen boys as the target demographic, which is what Alien said. not to mention that Diablo Cody always wanted Megan Fox for the role- that wasn't a decision made by the studio (although the studio definitely took that 'sex symbol' element of Fox's stardom and pushed it to the forefront of their marketing).
"So much of this seems to revolve around stereotypes", that's actually why I can live with it in this movie to an extent. The stereotypes and sexualised outfits are largely used to manipulate rude, racist, misogynistic or otherwise problematic male characters, so they are in fact saying how horrible the characters they're manipulating are for having those views. The rest of the time yes they wear beautiful outfits but it is for the joy of the characters and therefore not demeaning them. They're just beautiful women dressed well and as a young woman I appreciated and still do appreciate that. I loved that they were able to dress so well and yet still fight, drive racing cars etc. much like Elle can still practice law in her pink suits in Legally Blonde. Doing their job didn't require sacrificing their individuality or femininity.
I always felt like this movie and franchise was aimed at women. At least me and my friends would watch it together all the time when we were teens. We also got the fact that this was obviously a parody of old spy movies so we didn’t take it seriously at all. Plus all the dancing lmao
hey whoa you know what i just noticed? usually when women fight in movies or tv, they always have them fight other women (like natalie/cameron and vivian) but, while this movie in undeniable tailored to men, lucy liu has that long ass 1 on 1 fight with crispin glover. that's...kinda nice
To this day, Sam Rockwell's short dance scene is my favorite part of this movie
You and I are now in agreement 😋 - Sam
@@themoviebudz1988 ayy haha 🤝 should've been a longer scene though
And why is he suddenly sexy once we realize he's the bad guy??
@@brookes2610 ikrrr
"The '90's didn't end until like, 2005."
LMAO So true!!
When he said that I was like damn I don’t think I’ve ever heard a more true statement
This movie made me realise that 1. I liked women and 2. Badly critiqued films can still be my favourite.
I find that the films that critics pan are the ones I enjoy the most 🤣🤣🤣
This movie awakened my long time crush on Sam Rockwell.
Ngl, the shot of Drew tied to the chair awakened something in little bi me xD
I never really saw the over-sexualization in this movie bc it wasn't showing the women off just bc they're the sexy side-piece of the film, they were the strong badass lead characters who were confident and knew how to show that. Also, this movie isn't one to take seriously, the plot and villain motives don't need to be bulletproof in order to enjoy the film, the stars are the angels after all. The guns weren't used by the angels bc Drew Barrymore (she was also a producer on this film) didn't want guns to be romanticized if the good guys used them to fight the bad guys. She basically wanted to send the message that guns aren't something kids should be exposed to as being the 'weapon of choice' like they were constantly being shown at that time. Having no guns also showcased the angel's diverse fighting talents and skill, bc really anyone can hold a gun and press the trigger.
Honestly, I think these movies did very well showing sexy badass strong women. It didn't do much favor to men tho, showing them to be simpletons, easily manipulated by said women xD
That also is what makes the Thin Man so dangerous, he doesn’t use a gun after the initial encounter with the angels and instead relies on his sword
No matter how cheesy or how stupid it is, this movie's a classic! And also, it will always be a million times better than the remake. This movie never tried to take itself too seriously, contrary to the new one.
Omg i think so too! The remake was alright but something was missing.
I bet these guys would love the remake
Is this movie good? Questionable. But is it fun? Definitely.
Also, it's so interesting y'all say how much this movie was made for men (which, probably true). But in my experience all the people that tend to love or enjoy this movie a lot are women. The sequel as well.
It is definitely a product of it's time but it's always a fun, casual watch for me at least.
I feel the same way.
Same! I love these movies and most of the other women I've talked to do as well. I couldn't quite place it as a kid but now that I'm older I like that they could be extremely sexy and playful while still being very powerful and skilled. It was nice to see that duality showing that they can be both. Now, is it extremely male-gazey? Yeah, big time. But it did something right to be as beloved by women as it is.
@@gleegleek4eva absolutely agree. Also you make a good point about the playfulness. I think a big part of the charm is how much these actresses sold having fun as the characters. It's still very male-gazey but the characters also enjoy every part of their role, whether it's sexy, wacky or serious and the latter is what made them aspirational to me as a kid
I may be off but there's this element I don't see a lot anymore in media where women can be sexy and capable but also enjoy every minute of it for their own sake. I feel like a lot of the heroines we get these days are sultry/sexy but the media itself also makes sure to make it clear that they don't enjoy that element of their character and they also have to be very stoic/serious to show how capable they are on top of that. I'm not saying that I dislike those characters but it's like the pendulum has swung so completely away from this to that as if it's progress but it's not really. It's just Hollywood trying to have it's cake and eat it too.
Agree!! The intent was probably dudes but most guys i know don’t like this movie and most girls i know at least hold it dearly from a nostalgic point or downright love it
It’s kind of like Jennifer’s Body. Straight men may watch it once for the beautiful women in it, but it’s core fans are actually women who see it more as empowering and fun. Both films I think are female cult classics
The reason why they didn’t use guns is because Drew Barrymore who was a producer doesn’t believe in them and wanted the women to use martial arts. I love the film and, although it is a product of its time; it still works thanks to the chemistry of the cast and the nostalgic costumes, hair changes and music.
MC G said he wanted to make each scene look & feel like it could stand on his own, location, color aesthetic, vibe. And, it really does. Twenty years later almost every scene in this film stands out; the Chad boat scene, the disco dream, the fight in the alley, the breaking into the lab, the soul train sequence, the fights in the hideout. Just great.
the high pitched TIM CURRY is exactly how i feel everytime i see him in a movie
Sam Rockwell singing Got to Give It Up by Marvin Gaye is such a mood. Basically the only McG film I'll vouch for
You couldn't tell 11 year-old me that this movie was made for dudes because I absolutely loved it.
Sam's lack of Tim Curry knowledge means that y'all need to add Clue & RHPS to the future line up. (I mean personally I'd also recommend Muppet Treasure Island lmao)
Muppets Treasure Island is my literal favorite Tim Curry role!
@@kiraalldredge48 Yeeees! It's one of those roles where you can tell he was having the time of his life and that just makes it all the better. :D
I read RHPS as RHCP (Red Hot Chili Peppers) at first and was just, so confused
was way too busy crushing on the angels growing up to realize how weird this movie gets. so campy
Imagine not recognizing parody when you see it.
This movie is supreme camp-ness and I love it. The feminist in me can’t even be too mad at the whole sexualization of literally everything, since it was in such a misogonistic (and racist) era. So an action movie with amazing Female leads just makes me happy it exists.
Also, Sam Rockwell in those glasses doing a dance while smoking was like a sexual awakening when I was a teen.
this movie confirmed my bisexuality lol
same
I know the sexualisation was a product of its time, but I've always kind of loved how a lot of it is women looking hot and kicking ass at the same time. Instead of women just looking hot for a guy to flirt with or to make fun of. Yes its still sexist, but at least they have other skills beside "looking hot"
The sexualiation in these case was overdone to parody the era the original show came from, to show how ridiculous it was but at the same time to turn that sexist view of the women as weak or less threatening todo there adavantage againt's the enemies, that's why there wasn't ever a male Angel but all women that excell in some fiedl or have a particular set of skills or talents
Also it makes pretty clear that these girls can kick any guys ass, So.
"Charlie's Angels is pretty epic" should be the title. Such a fun movie!
Crispin Glover's personality/demeanor just genuinely eccentric and strange but he's actually very sweet and talented (artistically and acting wise) not so much creepy once you listen to him for awhile. He's a favorite of mine 👌
🧠Fun fact: the house that Drew Barrymores character comes upon after rolling down the hill is the same house where she filmed ET almost 20 years earlier. There is even a poster for ET on the wall behind the TV the boys are playing games on 😊
I adore the hair creep character because he's perfect for this movie, a caricature come to life
According to sources, Crispin Glover just randomly wandered onto to the movie set, unaware he was even being filmed.
I love the comments on this video. Sam and Stef, I appreciate that you guys generally have a good mindset when it comes to the sexualization of women in the films you watch and I know the criticism comes from a good place, but you don't need to get upset on our behalf when we're not even upset about it ourselves. This movie had plenty of the ridiculous costumes and scenes that play on female stereotypes, but it was intentional, and in my opinion, well done. Maybe I'm biased because I remember being a kid watching this for the first time and loving how badass all three women were. They weren't helpless damsels in distress being dressed in ultra-revealing outfits, they used that trope as a cover to manipulate situations and complete their missions. You two latching on to the outfits and ridiculous disguises just further proves how effective they were against the men they had to fool and/or fight.
In this particular case there’s also the fact that sometimes I wanna see an action movie without feeling like the movie is going to remind me of boobs every few minutes so I don’t lose interest. I can enjoy a movie about women kicking ass without being sold on sexuality.
Do I hear your point for yourself and any other women who felt empowered by this? Sure, absolutely, I applaud it and am happy it managed to spread some good vibes in that way. But there’s two sides to the story and this is how I feel about this one for myself, not for you or anyone else - Sam
Fair point. Though I don't think that was the intention behind this particular movie, but I suppose that just comes down to interpretation. Either way, glad you guys watched it!
@@themoviebudz1988 How is it that boobs can make you lose interest in a movie? That honestly seems like a YOU problem, if you can't control your mind when it comes to boobs then you might as well are the one who is sexuallizing things. Whatever, just watch male movies that also show shirtless men but I guess that will not distract you ;)
Corny yes- but iconic and hilarious YES🙌🏾 edit: and a little problematic
Drew Barrymore specifically didn't allow any of the angels to have guns. I think the reason was because she wanted to showcase that you don't need a weapon to fight. And possibly make a statement about gun violence, though im, not 100% sure about that part.
Growing up I always thought it was so cool that these women were not only beautiful but also so freaking badass and smart. Obviously it’s very sexualized but I don’t think it’s demeaning. I see it as empowering.
As far as the cultural clothing, no doubt questionable but didn’t seem they were making fun of it. As a Mexican woman I personally wouldn’t be offended if they dressed in our cultural clothing. As long as it makes sense for the story, not ridiculing and no malicious intent.
I won’t say much for the sexualisation because I really can’t say for sure but the cultural stuff?
I think we need to start being more clear in our videos that we’re not always offended. In this case it was more just second hand embarrassment. As an Asian man, any time I see Asian appropriation I just kind of cringe. To me it looks kinda sad and awkward 😳 - Sam
@@themoviebudz1988 They were making fun of movies that do this shit seriously. And some of the scenes were taken straight out of the tv show.
This movie has always felt like "if a 90s girl group suddenly became spies."
Still my childhood. Plus DC's Independent Woman! Nuff said :D
everyone's saying that the hypersexualisation of the angels is the point, like its a parody but they are still over sexualised and it does make me feel a bit uncomfortable
Funny how you were talking about it being blatantly aimed at men, because most people who seem to have kept a big soft spot for Charlie’s Angels 1 & 2 these days are women (myself included). 😁 It was just fun and camp, and the lasting friendship between the lead actresses make it a lovely nostalgic rewatch. My crush on Drew Barrymore as Dylan was very formative, too.
It is corny and cheesy, but I still love it lol. All the women had unique abilities/skills and all fit together. It is way better than the remake.
It’s supposed to be cheesy because the original show was cheesy and that’s why people loved it.
You guys need to react to Charlie’s angels: full throttle now! It’s got more comedy and innuendos 😂 also can’t go wrong w Bernie Mac rest his soul. also the scene where they’re driving their race cars towards each other I think was supposed to be the game “chicken” which is where you go towards the person and whoever bails first loses or whatever
Just as information the original Charlie's Angels didn't use guns or firearms because there job was mainly as detectives, so they relied on there wits and smarts and the use of disguises. These films version by Drew Barrymore also had a rule of not using guns, because she wanted them to rely only on there intelligence and martial arts abilities. The latest version although severly critized but some people (i personally liked it) might be more yo to your liking since they don't rely on stereotypes as much, they still use there brains and skills but they do use guns when they need to.
This movie is campy af but everyone in it commits SO MUCH and I love it lmao
The lady in the office (when Barracuda was playing) was Melissa McCarthy. Not sure if anyone already said it.
Love this corny ass movie LOL
I wrote it on screen but thanks for the assist anyway 👌 - Sam
OMG!!!! So happy to hear you’re going to do Mr. Right! It is a total favorite.
You guys should totally do Josie and the Pussycats. It is so hilariously campy, not taking itself seriously at all.
Lucy Liu is amazing BUT you NEED to see her in Kill Bill absolutely a masterpiece film!
i know it's a little over the top but the outfits in Charlie's Angels were iconic for me as a child, i loved every single one lol made me feel so badass while watching
I know we are in a time where things are more feminist then before but this film was produced by drew Barrymore and I think it is obvious that they had an extremely good time doing it even though they wore skimpy outfits. I think people forget that women being feminist doesn’t mean you can’t be sexy and I think they wanted it that way to have fun with it.
I do find it ironic that Drew insisted the angels wouldn’t use guns but a lot of bystanders still clearly die!! Lol
The 70's show was absofuckinglutely over the top with the sexy disguises, stunts and gadgets so they did a terribly wonderful job making it in that vain😇
I Loved this movie growing up. Usually hypersexualized women are seen as ONLY that . But seeing beautiful sexy women who are geniuses and physical phenoms , who kick men’s butts, is AMAZING . Men say they don’t like it because of whatever reason but honestly , i think it’s just that you don’t like to see attractive women be powerful .
This movie had action, sex appeal, humor, plot twists , betrayal
Etc.
Every woman and gay man I know was obsessed with this movie at some point. I think because it's pure camp. Rewatching it now though a lot of the costume changes and plot points absolutely do not hold up. 😅
Omgeee when i was 11 this and bringing down the house was my favorite movies to watch with my sisters our favorite part was the spider man underwear lol 😂
The villains in these movies will always be iconic to me. From the thin man, to Knox and to Demi Moore lol it's just top notch
"Is that Dax Shepherd" had me loling hard for some reason. Put some respect on my man Sam Rockwell! lolol
Not to be dramatic but this might just be the movie I'd bring with me to a desert island
I fucking LOVE this movie! So fun and iconic. Like I love how hyper everything is from the vibrant colors, the fights, humor, outfits going into sexual, etc. Going so far that it's camp. Like I know a lot of lgbt people (mostly queer men) who LOVE these movies.
As an Asian guy I have no problem with Drew Barrymore and Cameron Diaz wearing my culture, and this is come from actual full blood Asian living in Asia.
The constant confusion between Chinese and Japanese EVERYTHING is.....................not something I remember but it makes sense somehow, you know?
"This whole movie is 'lets just visit ethnic stereotypes'" OOF yeah.
Aaah the intent WAS to be aimed for dudes, but most girls i know LOVED this movie. The sexy bits are always for them to manipulate men with them, no matter how powerful they are they are still useless to like…boobs. And the Angels manipulate that.
The movie didn’t intent for that, def for dudes. But the audience ended up being all girls lmao. And the gays.
when i was still in high school four years ago and 18, just starting my senior year, the actor for the creepy thin man (crispin glover) asked me out on a date. he was still in his fifties around that time. guy is pretty weird although i loved his role in this movie, so it’s always a sad time because this was a childhood fave that i’m really happy to see you guys cover.
Fun little fact, the house that Drew Barrymore's character comes up to naked is the same house used in the filming of E.T. which Drew starred in when she was 6. There's a poster from E.T. on the wall, a toy close to the T.V. and the kids are eating Reese's Pieces which were E.T.'s favorite candies.
Please do Rocky Horror Picture Show, I really want to see the reaction.
Give credit to Drew Barrymore, she wanted to make a movie with strong female characters but didn't want to bash men. Unlike the movies of today
Actually, i went to see it when it came out and i felt it was geared towards women too. Its subjective really. Women can be feminine and still be powerful and kick ass. Like they always said a womans greatest weapon is beauty and brains and sometimes thats how you get others to do things.
I know I’m looking at this through rose coloured glasses but I still love this movie despite all its problems…I know parts of it now are questionable but I don’t think any of that is the fault of the actors…the writers are definitely at fault there..Stef’s winning joke is definitely the war cry line…Crispin Glover and Sam Rockwell were two actors that helped define a lot of the 2000’s decade of film and yes Sam’s villain dancing helped launch that trope to what it is today
The holy and iconic trinity in one movie, and that's The Charlie's Angels for ya.
The actress you said looked familiar but couldn't name was Melissa McCarthy lmao
My husband always makes fun of me whenever I suggest watching this because I have a major thing for Crispin Glover in this movie. I know, he's a super creep but that jaw and the outfits and fighting, I'm into it. 😅
Now we NEED the rocky horror picture show reaction
Crispin Glover actually does have quite the range. I admire his unique style of artistry even if I'm not sure how much I'd get along with the guy. It's totally worth looking up the videos of his Letterman appearance (they were _far_ from simpatico). Also, his album had a music video for the song "Clownly Clown Clown".
Also, congrats on 40k! Seems like y’all’s increase in popularity is going at a good solid pace. So excited for you 🥰
u guys make me so happy ily
Much appreciated 😊 - Sam.
The style of the movie with rock action soundtracks and slow motion clips is the hallmark of the early 2000s Director McG. He was very much the symbol of Style over substance.
That This is Pete moment on the phone reminded me of
Hello, is this the Krusty Krab?
No this is Patrick 😂😂😂
Can't believe I asked for this movie in the last commentary and here it is. Thanks guys. This literally made my day 😅😇
That Drew Berry scene "Idk how to make make chicken " was so random for me when I was younger xD I was like wtf
The second one is even more extra. I hope you guys react to it!
Peeked in the description and found out The Movie Budz and I find out that we watch most of the same people 💙💙💙 love how you guys support each other
Because of the tim currey reaction, now you have to have a marathon of: rocky horror, clue, Muppets treasure island and the three musketeers(93 movie version).
I remember seeing this movie in theaters, which is odd bc I was like 5 or 6, but it is engrained in my memory. Pretty sure this was a double feature, as in my mom took me to see a movie I wanted and then we snuck into this after the other movie was over.
Awh 🥰 that’s such a sweet moment. Sounds like you’ve got a lovely mom
You guys should definitely watch Legend (made in 1985) it has Tim Curry star as a giant horned red demon of darkness. (and if you do, I would recommend the american cut simply because the music is 1000% better than the uk cut)
Agreed
35:48 - John Dillinger actually managed a jailbreak in the 30s with a gun carved out of soap. This...is a clever nod to history, shockingly
When people talk about this movie I always remember the part when the dude smells the piece of hair. I remember watching it when i was youger and get the creeps from that scene. Love the vid budz♥
Honestly the over the top stereotypes and ridiculousness was what made it charming and satirical to the original Angels
sam not knowing who tim curry is... i guess y'all gotta watch clue now 🤭 also im gonna say the pre-9/11ness of air travel made the whole bomb thing possible?? lol
The Angels did use guns in the original tv series but Drew Barrymore is uncomfortable around firearms so she insisted the Angels not use them.
Just found your page, and I'm loving it :) FYI Cheung-Yan Yuen was I believe the martial arts coordinator on this, and he is the younger brother of The Matrix fight master Wo-Ping Yuen. He was probably paying tribute lol Drew Barrymore was also one of the producer's as well.
Sam Rockwell goes so well from good guy to bad guy! Classic scene.
About the sexualization:
I think what makes it okay in this movie is that the Angels use it as a weapon. They WANT YOU to drool over them.
In other movies it often feels invasive like the camera is peeping. It's uncomfortable.
Same goes with Poison Ivy she uses her seduction as a weapon.
Just a quick question, is '27 Dresses' also on your future reaction list? Love this movie
Please watch Clue! It is Tim Curry's best film. Btw, Crispin Glover's dad played a bond villain. It was awesome that he got to play a similar character in homage to his father.
Mr Wint! So creepy!
As a young gay I lived vicariously through these women 😂
