It's obvious when Alex runs to jump on the guys back to massage him that she actually just runs past the table. See more...
The Thin Man, who doesn't speak at all, originally had lines of dialogue. They were removed at Crispin Glover's request, and the filmmakers agreed it would make the role more mysterious. See more...
Directed by McG, starring Bill Murray, Cameron Diaz, Drew Barrymore, Lucy Liu, Sam Rockwell, Crispin Glover, John Forsythe, Kelly Lynch, Matt LeBlanc, Tim Curry, Tom Green (add more)
The "questions" section is for any random questions that occurred to you while watching this film, or anything you didn't entirely understand, and which Google or the IMDb can't help with. Submit them as a question, and hopefully someone will answer (the bold comments in brackets) - check back regularly. If the answer is wrong, or missing information, please use the "clarify answer" option. Don't feel limited - want to know what music played in a certain scene? Whether this was the first film to use a certain effect? Here's the place to ask!
In the "Heidi" scene, when the girls are singing in German, what do they say? [In the German version of the movie, the text is a rather normal advertising song about the company, the Angels pretend to work for. In the US version however, the actresses' accents are so horrible, it is, besides some "typical German words", impossible to make out if their song has any meaning at all.]
In the old TV show do the girls ever meet Charlie or find out more information about him? [in the last episode of the show Let Our Angel Live (6/24/81), Kelly is shot in the head and the other angles and Bosley go to the hospital. The Angels finally got a sneak peek at what Charlie really looks like when he shows up at the hospital to visit her.]

Why is the director credited simply as "McG?" [Joseph McGinty Nichol is his real name. McG is most probably a nickname.]

Just out of curiosity, what exactly went on between Bill Muray and Lucy Liu that they didn't get along? [Most likely, just personality clashes. The main problem was that they argued constantly on the set and grew to hate each other enough so that Bill Murray declared he never wanted to work with her again. Neither has ever publicly stated the exact reason for the animosity.]
Does anyone know whether the African Prince in the opening sequence was actually Drew Barrymore herself in disguise, or whether it was an actor who was replaced by Drew in the revealing scene ("I think you mean crazy bitch"..."Damn I hate to fly" etc...) Thanks. [The African Prince is rapper LL Cool J, so yes, it was someone who is then replaced by Barrymore.]
Does anyone know the story behind the "Creepy Thin Man?" Like why he likes to pull hair and smell it? Anything that helps me understand his character is appreciated. [This character gets a backstory in the sequel (Charlie's Angels Full Throttle). Supposedly he was a runaway from a circus, who found refuge at an orphanage. He didn't much like haircuts when he was little.]

In the scene when Lucy Liu is in the trailer and it gets shot up, she looks at her dessert, it goes flat, and then she says "Murphy O'Meyer. That does it." Who is Murphy O'Meyer? [Murphy O'Meyer is a phrase used instead of cursing (like when someone says "fudge" or "sugar" in place of swearing) Also the phrase was used in the TV show in the episode Three Angels for Charlie.]

When they introduce Dylan (where she smokes and has a cast... and looks almost like a man) in the "Once Upon a Time" starting segment, there is a part of a song that goes "I love rock and roll". A recent version is sung by Britney Spears, but who sings that version in the movie? [It's the original version of *I Love Rock N' Roll*, by Joan Jett and The Blackhearts.]
Where did the creepy thin man go after the fight, when they find Knox? [Somewhere on the DVD they explain he jumped through a gap in the fan you see in that scene and ran off.]
I was just wondering if anyone knew the name of the song that Sam Rockwell does the snazzy little dance to near the end of the movie? [If it is the one I am thinking about, it is called Simon Says by Pharoahe Monch.]
At the start of the film Drew (disguised as an African Prince) drags a guy with a bomb strapped to his chest from an aircraft. What was the bomber hoping to achieve? If he was going to destroy the aircraft - why was he interested in diamonds if he was about to die? If he was selling the device to the African - why was it ticking? If he was negotiating to be paid to not destroy the aircraft - what was his plan for escaping after he deactivated the device? [I suspect that like much in this movie, it was merely conceived to be an 'exciting' opening for the movie and logic played little part in its inclusion.]
