Charlie's Angels mistake picture

Angel on High - S3-E4

Continuity mistake: Sabrina is in New York and she stays at Tuxedo Hotel; her room number is 325. However in a close shot of the key chain, it seems that she stays at another hotel (something like Zarac Hotel), while her room number is 1207. (00:20:30)

Haunted Angels - S3-E7

Continuity mistake: Kelly is talking with Mrs. Brendleberry, when all of a sudden everything starts to move. In the room there is a chandelier, which is shaking. However, if we watch the mirror, we will notice that the chandelier is still. (00:26:00)

Angel on My Mind - S3-E11

Other mistake: There are at least three mistakes/errors in the scene where Kris is hit by the car. First of all, the image is evidently sped up during the collision. Then, when Kris gets up after the collision, there are three green trash bins in front of her which did not appear in the previous shot. Finally, it is physically impossible that those three trash bins can still stand after being hit by a car. (00:03:40 - 00:04:20)

Angel on My Mind - S3-E11

Continuity mistake: Kelly, Sabrina and Bosley are in the office. All three are very worried about Kris, since they don't know where she is. Sabrina says, "Her car is not there". Actually, the previous shot has shown Kris' car (Cobra II) parked in front of the office. (00:06:45)

Counterfeit Angels - S3-E15

Visible crew/equipment: Nearing the end of the show, the angels and Bosley are in the office and Bosley turns left out of the door. A second after he turns, a shadow that is shorter, wider, and very different, comes from the right in the hallway outside the door and walks towards Bosley heading left. Clearly not his shadow.

Terror on Skis (1) - S3-E17

Continuity mistake: The Angels are in the office and they are discussing with Chadwick, an FBI agent who have hired them. Chadwick gives the Angels a Polaroid photo: however, what is shown in the next close shot is not a Polaroid photo, but a normal one. (00:07:20)

Terror on Skis (1) - S3-E17

Continuity mistake: The Angels, Hansworth and Chadwick are discussing on the ski track. This is the position of each character (from left to right) in long shots: Kelly, Kris, Hansworth, Sabrina, Chadwick. However in closer shots, Sabrina and Chadwick switch their position. (00:46:15)

Love Boat Angels (2) - S4-E2

Continuity mistake: Kelly marks an X on a map with a lipstick tube: watching the movements of her hands, it appears the X is rather small. However, the close shot of the map reveals a rather big X. In addition, on the map there are two purses, one hair brush, one lipstick tube and a pencil; their position on the map changes during shots. (00:31:10)

Love Boat Angels (2) - S4-E2

Continuity mistake: The Angels, Bosley, Hollister and Avery are all in the same hotel room. Avery switches a case full of money with an empty one. Kris notices this and she switches the cases again. She wears a pink bracelet. However, while she is switching the cases, her bracelet is green. (00:50:30)

Fallen Angel - S4-E6

Continuity mistake: Kelly is driving her car. The shot from the outside the car and the shot from inside the car reveal that Kelly is not wearing the same clothes. Even her hairstyle is different. (00:12:40)

Fallen Angel - S4-E6

Continuity mistake: Jill's hairstyle changes too frequently during the episode: sometimes her hair is curly, sometimes straight, sometimes there's lots of movement in her hair. Jill often displays a completely different hairstyle in scenes which are separated by no less than one hour.

Video

Trivia: The original actor who had been cast as Charlie had a drinking problem, and couldn't deliver his lines properly. John Forsythe got called up by creator Aaron Spelling after midnight on a Friday night and was asked to record lines ASAP because the show had to be aired Monday night. He headed straight down to the studio at 20th Century Fox, still in his slippers and pyjamas, recorded the lines and went straight back to bed.

Show generally

Question: Having never seen the show, do any episodes show Charlie's face at all? Not just some of his face.

Answer: No, Charlie's face was never fully seen. In addition, Charlie was voiced by John Forsythe and he never even came to the set. Whenever we do see Charlie, it's a body double and not Forsythe.
