Charlie's Angels

Other mistake: At one stage the Angels speak with each other in a different language, so that the people sitting next to them wouldn't understand. Having listened to it for a few times, I realized it was Finnish. Funny though, the thing they actually said there (in Finnish), was totally different than the written translation. (00:41:45)

Other mistake: As the girls learn about their assignment from Charlie, he shows them a film. The film shows Knox in a tree. His sweatshirt says "BOSTON" in white letters. It is backwards in that shot, and the scene following. (00:13:34)

Other mistake: During the five man fight sequence with Drew, she does a split kick in the air and "kicks" two guys, but her foot is clearly a good distance away from even grazing the guy on the right anywhere on his body. (01:16:45)

Other mistake: When the agency blows up, the girls are thrown backwards by the blast you can see big pieces of debris flying outwards. However, NOTHING falls on the girls...you'd think that they would get hit by some of the debris, right? (00:58:45)

Other mistake: When Knox shoots at Dylan/the glass, if you look closely, you can see the first shot hits the glass just past the left side of her head (on the viewer's right) but when they slow mo it down, suddenly the bullet is on the left side and shoots the glass just above her right shoulder as she propels herself back.

Other mistake: At the beginning of the movie the bomb is revealed to have 58 seconds left, but actually explodes after about 68 seconds. (00:02:40 - 00:03:50)

Factual error: Near the end of the film Knox is flying a Huey helicopter and the Angels hitch a ride by shooting it with a spear gun and dangling on the line behind it. Suddenly adding about 200kgs to a Huey in flight like that is going to cause all sorts of problems with the trim and airspeed of the aircraft - the pilot would know immediately that something was wrong.

Suggested correction: Knox wasn't a trained pilot. Either he had no clue to what was going on, or he thought something may have been wrong, but didn't know what to do about it.

Taking off and landing a helicopter are by far the most intense and difficult part of a pilot's training. Seriously, 99% of learning to fly is learning how to land and take off. If the pilot is skilled enough to take off in a Huey he is easily skilled enough to notice a massive additional drag on his helicopter due to the additional weight of the angels and the air resistance put up by such a bulky protrusion on his aircraft. If he isn't skilled enough to notice that, he isn't skilled enough to take off in the first place.

Question: 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.

Answer: The African Prince is rapper LL Cool J, so yes, it was someone who is then replaced by Barrymore.
