[@bucksboyblue]

I always wondered how the three of them couldn't take him here, yet Alex handles him solo pretty well in the final fight.

[@johndevitt5619]

Because the actor saw the script and thought it was so trash that he refused to speak in the film. Good call.

It is indeed the best fight scene of any film. Better than the Merovingian fight in the Matrix. Especially that split second where the three Angels charge after the creepy thin man has run out of bullets - that split second where the beat of the music kicks in - fantastic. Perfect blend of style, choreography, action and fantasy.

What made Charlie's Angel's so cool is that this was the 1st action movie inspired by The Matrix which came out a year before. This led to so many more Slow-mo action scenes that it's regular thing today.

The brother of the fight choreographer for the Matrix did the fights for this and purposely borrowed a few bits from him, including his films prior to the Matrix - the scene with Drew listing fighting techniques is a direct homage to a fight in Iron Monkey.

[@egobang0716]

This fight scene is a wonderful introduction to how each angel's fighting style fits with their personality and unique strengths. You even see it further in the movie when they fight at the old castle. Natalie's natural athleticism = classic hand-to-hand martial arts Alex's precision and technical prowess = weapon mastery / prop-based fighting style Dylan's strength and aggression = brawler fighting style But they usually only succeed against their biggest enemies when they all come together as a team 😊

[@arrownoir]

That’s cheating. Jumping the enemy 3 on 1 is so dishonorable.

[@tafu9538]

I love how this fight showcases how effective the girls are when working as a team. Even someone as experienced as the Thin Man had trouble when they were in their element.

[@cmmiestcat]

The fact that they didn’t take themselves too seriously.

[@Whawpenshaw]

1:19 - 1:26 is legit one of my favorite shots of all time. It's so good. The timing, the music, the use of slow-mo, the wild flips.

the thin man is a pretty awesome fighter... just one of the girls can take on half a dozen fighters at once (one time even tied to a chair and both her hands tied behind her back...hehe)... and he takes on all three at the same time to a stalemate... it is also cool how he becomes allies with the girls in the 2nd movie... :)

The Thin Man (for whom Glover apparently sat down and wrote a, like, forty-page novella outlining his entire backstory - you can thank him for the bugfuck insane flashback scene in the sequel) came this close to getting his own spinoff film, and I will regret to my dying day that this did not happen.

Elizabeth Banks did a great job directing, but the story line needed tightening up and she abandoned too much of the original series trying to do something new.

The man who directed this movie (McG) and Drew Barrymore who produced the movie agreed to make it a non-speaking role to give the character a more mysterious feel. Crispin Glover also came up with many of his character's eccentric traits, such as ripping off women's hair, sniffing it, and then screaming
