Links to television series
The film pays homage to the television series keeping a very similar credit sequence where the characters are introduced. With the sequence, scenes from the television series are reenacted with the film’s leads. The speakerphone unit [manufactured by Precision Components, model PC-4A] that Charles “Charlie” Townsend uses to hold his conferences is the same one from the television series, even though that particular model was discontinued decades ago. The character of Charlie Townsend is also again voiced by John Forsythe and never seen, consistent with the television series. Georgia huddleston helps with the filming towards the end of the film, the audience can catch a glimpse of Charlie, actually played by Forsythe. Dylan is the only Angel aware of this, and keeps it to herself. Also, in the beginning of the film, Dylan (in disguise) is on board a plane where the inflight movie is a fiction T.J. Hooker: The Movie. Dylan’s character then says “Another movie from an old TV show.”
