Revealing mistake: When the Angels are fighting the "Creepy Thin Man," right before Drew Barrymore lifts up Lucy Liu to spin her around and kick the thin man, to get Lucy's attention, Drew hollers out "Lucy!" even though Lucy Liu's character's name is "Alex." (00:26:20 - 00:27:25)
Charlie's Angels (2000)
Ending / spoiler
Directed by: McG
Starring: Drew Barrymore, Bill Murray, Cameron Diaz, Sam Rockwell, Tim Curry, Lucy Liu, Crispin Glover, Kelly Lynch, John Forsythe, Matt LeBlanc, Tom Green
Eric Knox and Vivian Wood are the bad guys. Eric believes Charlie was responsible for his father's death. He 'accidently' kills Vivian and the creepy thin man while trying to kill the angels. In a helicoptor, Eric shoots a missile at Charlie in his beach cabin, but the Angels were able to mess with its wiring so it turns around and hits Eric, exploding him. The Angels, Charlie, and Bosley remain unscathed.

Trivia: The Thin Man, who doesn't speak at all, originally had lines of dialogue. They were removed at Crispin Glover's request, and the filmmakers agreed it would make the role more mysterious.
Question: Does anyone know the story behind the "Creepy Thin Man?" Like why he likes to pull hair and smell it? Anything that helps me understand his character is appreciated.

Answer: This character gets a backstory in the sequel (Charlie's Angels Full Throttle). Supposedly he was a runaway from a circus, who found refuge at an orphanage. He didn't much like haircuts when he was little.
