Gonna leave you this friday with the parody of Charlie's Angels seen in the second Scary Movie back in 2001. The Charlie's Angels reboot had just been released a year prior and comedy writers were surely going to tackle it in some way.
In this scene Cindy, Brenda and Theo are chasing after the deformed villain down the stairs. Cindy kicks the door down and the action music kicks in as well. Clothing begins to fall to the stairs, presumably because they are changing into their action outfits but whoops! they end up in their underwear! They then run away in shame. What? People in underwear are funny.
Later they get into their combat outfits, kind of reminiscent of the ones in the movies, and they fight the bad guy. Lot’s of jumping around and combat choreographies ensue. The final showdown is between the villain and Cindy, they show off their techniques, such as “The Cow” and “The Cameltoe” (the later one entails having Cindy pull on her pants showing her cameltoe). The scene ends with the butler convulsing and having lights come out of his face, serving as a transition for the next scene.
A funny sequence that goes on for longer than most references in parody movies. I will give them that, they stuck to it, making this better than Disaster Movie or something. The gals perhaps could have used more action roles because they pull off the physical comedy here very well. Could you imagine a parody movie series with action girls and them in the leading roles? Could have been nice but maybe the real Charlie's Angels movies were too silly to begin with.
