Slightly more tongue-in-cheek than
the first film, which was inspired by the popular 1970s TV show
about three women who work as undercover agents for an unknown and
unseen mentor named Charlie. Cameron Diaz, Drew Barrymore and Lucy
Liu reprise their roles, and this time around they are working for
the government, trying to retrieve stolen rings that hold
information about people hiding in the witness protection program.
Bernie Mac, Crispin Glover and Justin Theroux. Cameos include Demi
Moore, Jaclyn Smith, Bruce Willis and Ashley and Mary-Kate Olsen.
Directed by McG.
SEX/NUDITY 5 - A man and a woman kiss in several
scenes, and a man and a woman lick tongues. Two women come close to
each other as if to kiss. A group of women on a stage dance in front
of a room full of men who cheer them on: the women wear small outfits
that reveal cleavage, bare abdomens, bare legs, and they wiggle and
dance suggestively, snap a whip, smack each other's buttocks and one
woman's costume flies off (her breasts are covered by long pig tails
and she has small panties on), and a woman sits on a man's lap
wiggling her hips. Men chant and cheer for a woman riding a
mechanical bull. A man slaps a woman on the buttocks twice. Three
nude women break out of a sculpture: the scene is dark so details
are unclear. Women wear outfits that reveal cleavage, bare abdomens,
bare backs to the hip and bare thighs throughout the movie. A beach
scene shows many women in bikinis (some are very tiny). A woman
wears a bra and panties and a full length fur. A woman's top is
laced down the front and reveals cleavage and bare abdomen, a woman
wears a mini skirt and thigh-high tights while riding a mechanical
bull and when she kicks her legs into the air we can see her upper
thigh and part of her buttocks. Men are bare-chested in several
scenes. Boys look at a pornographic magazine (we see the cover with
a scantily clad woman). Men and women dance together, a woman dances
with several men, three women dance kicking and thrusting their
hips. The end credits reel shows three women washing a car, and
getting soaked and covered with bubbles as they dance and sing.
There's a string of anatomical jokes regarding a woman's name, which
is Helen Zass, and sexual innuendo that includes: a woman says to a
man after surfing, "I'm gonna be wet for hours," a man
misunderstands and thinks that his daughter is a prostitute, a woman
talks to her boyfriend about their having been the cock and the
beaver (school mascots), there are several references to "sex wax"
used on surfboards being found at a crime scene.
VIOLENCE/GORE 5 - A man shoots a man in the chest,
another man is shot several times in the chest (we see him thrown
back and blood spurts from holes in his shirt). A woman is thrown in
the air and kicked in the chest, and three women are shot and fall
over a balcony onto the ground (they lie motionless). A dirt bike
race has motorcycles speeding over hills, jumping into the air and
doing stunts while several riders try to knock each other off their
bikes: One is kicked off his bike and crashes into the ground, one
is punched into a bridge abutment and the bike explodes, another is
knocked down, one rider fires guns at people as he jumps through the
air, and one rider is kicked in the chest by another rider wearing
boots with blades in them (the rider crashes to the ground, lies
motionless and is pronounced dead). Four people fight with kicks and
punches (we see some blood on the face of one character), one
character breaks through the floor of a stage, fires a gun igniting
a gas main and causing an explosion and the character is engulfed in
flames. Three women fight large numbers of people (mostly men) in
several scenes, using kicks and punches: A large group of men fight
three women with chains, crowbars, guns and sticks as weapons; the
women fight with kicks and punches, they swing from ropes, a man and
a woman fight with swords, and a woman is slammed against a metal
crate, and held off the ground by the throat. Three women fight many
people on a rooftop, one woman is head-butted and nearly shoved off
the roof, one man is stabbed through the chest and falls off the
roof, and another is stabbed in the back and falls off the roof. A
truck is fired upon by a grenade launcher, it veers off the road,
crashes over the side of a high road (appears to be a dam), and,
with four passengers inside, careens toward the water below: the
four passengers jump out (while the truck is falling) and cling onto
a helicopter that was inside the truck, starting it up just before
they all crash into the water. Four people are shot at by a man with
two large guns, they jump out windows and slide down a hill. Three
women being chased spray gasoline on the ground and set it ablaze. A
woman punches a man in the face and kicks and punches two others. A
woman rides a skeleton board on a winding road, scoots up next to a
car, attaches herself to the car and then is unable to release --
large rocks are on the road and nearly hit her. Four people jump off
a roof as it explodes behind them: one seems to fly and the others
swing from light strings and they all crash onto a car, drive away,
the car flips, and two people are thrown off the back of the car
(one tumbles down an escalator, one crashes through a store front).
The car then crashes through a theater and we see two people lying
motionless on a stage (one wakes up and pulls a shard of glass out
of a wound, and the other pops a shoulder back into place). Three
women ride up on a rope and crash through a ceiling and roof, they
grab pieces of board as they come down, land on ropes that reach to
the ground and "ski" down. Three women jump across a room, land on
the floor in fighting stances and scream loudly at a room full of
hostile men. We see a man bound and wearing a blindfold being beaten
with a stick (we see him with a bloody face later and hear that he
has broken ribs). We see a dead man in a chair and a woman examines
him (she pulls out something from his throat) and we see a flash of
how he was smothered. A man panics when he sees a hangar full of
military guards motionless on the ground; the man is held at
gunpoint and we later hear that he was killed. A car explodes and
three women are thrown by the blast. We hear about people having
been murdered. A man is nearly hit by a car. People are held at
gunpoint in several scenes. A woman jumps on a man in a wrestling
ring, a woman flips a man onto his back and on the ground in several
scenes, a man zaps himself with a taser and falls on the floor, and
a woman throws a man into a jukebox and it breaks apart. A boy pulls
a handful of hair off a woman's head and they both scream, and a man
pulls a handful of hair off a woman's head and they both scream. We
see a computer generated sequence of a leg ligament tearing and
being repaired. A dead rat lies on a floor. A woman delivers a calf
by shoving her arms into the cow and pulling out the baby, which is
covered with blood and slime (a man standing nearby gets a face full
of slime). A woman urinates in a toilet (we hear the trickle) and
two men urinate in urinals (we hear trickles). A woman is hit on the
buttocks by a surf board a couple of times. A woman pounds a stick
on a desk a few times startling the person sitting down. A woman
gets wrapped up in balloon strings and falls on the floor.
