History Film / CharliesAngels2000

* TheDragon: [[spoiler: Vivian Wood is Eric Knox loyal right-hand woman]].

* PacManFever: Dylan stumbles upon two kids playing ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVIII'' with two 3rd party Platform/PlayStation controllers and button-mashing unrealistically while [[ArcadeSounds 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 ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVIII'' is not only a game for which ButtonMashing is counterproductive (unless you're charging up your GF summons), but that it's NOT a two-player game, but a single-player {{JRPG}}.

-->'''Dylan:''' And, as my trusty lighter is not working, I'll do it with my hands tied.

* JiggleShow: The original series was the TropeMaker, and the movies followed in its footsteps.

* QuietCryForHelp: Dylan tries to code to her assignment Eric that his female cohort Vivian, who just walked in the room, is the BigBad using Scrabble tiles ("ENEMY"). Unfortunately for her, [[spoiler: Vivian is actually TheDragon to his Big Bad.]]

* WeakBossStrongUnderlings: Compared to the [[Series/CharliesAngels original series]], this trope gets taken to the next level. The Angels now perform more dangerous (and [[RuleOfCool 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. Charlie, by contrast, is still the old RetiredBadass he's always been.

* TheOner: The movie opens with one (which is actually three shots connected by hidden cuts) that goes from the Columbia logo, through the plane twice and up to the disguised Dylan pulling the bomber out of the plane.

* RevengeMyopia: Eric Knox [[spoiler:AKA John McCaddon wants revenge on Charlie because he believes that Charlie is the man who killed his father. When in reality, his father was a double agent in Charlie's army intelligence unit and was killed by the other side when he was discovered.]]

* ChainPain: Alex uses a chain to fight against The Creepy Thin Man. Dylan later uses a a chain as a lasso to tie up both him and Natalie.

* SwordCane: The Thin Man's WeaponOfChoice.

* EstablishingCharacterMusic: The Angels are shown in flashback to a different song - Natalie to "Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go" by Music/{{Wham}}, Alex to Music/TheFlyingLizards' cover of "Money (That's What I Want)" and Dylan to "I Love Rock and Roll" by Music/JoanJett.

* AbsoluteCleavage: Some of Natalie's outfits. Dylan's too, especially in the race car scenes.

%%* DontSneakUpOnMeLikeThat: This happens a lot to Jason.

%%* MotorMouth: Alex

** 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.

* SteelEarDrums: Played straight, the Angel's stand in front of huge explosions and get back up without hearing problems.

* SuperDetailedFightNarration: Dylan is captured by the BigBad 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 {{Mook}}s' 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 Music/MichaelJackson song is playing in the background).
* SurpriseVehicle: The BigBad's helicopter rising up over his castle in the finale, ready to blow up the Angels, who barely escape the incoming missile.

* GameShowAppearance: Alex is a five-day ''Series/{{Jeopardy}}'' champion.
