    How does a 1990’s movie become the forerunner to 1970’s "Charlie’s Angels?’

    Quibbles aside, it looks great.

      I have a feeling that they’re talking about the Cameron Diaz, Drew Barrymore and Lucy Liu starring movie… ;)

      Oh, it is great! A bit convoluted, but great nonetheless.

        But you do realize that the Drew Barrymore version was based on a 1970’s TV show?

        There’s a subtle dig in the first scene when 5 foot 2 inch tall Drew [disguised as 6 foot 3 inch LL Cool J] talks smack about 'T.J. Hooker - The Movie"

          Jesus, relax. Everyone gets it. It was a 90s tag line for, checks notes… a B-Movie. That’s part of B-Movie charm.

            Jesus, relax. Everyone gets it. It was a comment in a B-movie thread. That’s part of Bmovie Bonanza’s charm.
