Charlie's Angels is a 2003 beat 'em up video game on PS2 & Nintendo GameCube that will make you black and blue. #CharliesAngels #Nintendo #GameCube #Ubisoft #VideoGames #Console #Gaming #VideoGame #JustBadGames #PS2 #PlayStation #Sony
The leather and whip joke is a reference to the fact the level is in a dungeon, which has bondage connotations. It's not a good joke, but it's not out of nowhere.
@@gaminggoof1542 …have you never heard of Amsterdam’s red light district?? That statement is very incorrect lol. (Also, not everything is racist just because another race than white people are involved haha)
The strangest thing about this game is they lifted plot points from a Lupin the Third movie. "Lupin the Third: Bye Bye lady Liberty" features the thief airlifting the statue of liberty to the grand canyon to search it for a diamond the size of a football a restoration team member hid in it. I don't think it's coincidence the devs of this game put the statue in the same place.
I'm just surprised that someone still remembers Lupin The Third, besides me, I mean. A much better series and had much better movies (even though I enjoyed the 2 Charlie's Angels movies), and there was that one Lupin the Third game on the PS2. Don't know why the game's devs decided to watch a Lupin movie before deciding on the games plot though...
@@shawnfields2369 honestly lupin has had a mini resurgence since the release of lupin III: the first. If I had to guess why they stole the ideas from it I'd have to go with it was better than any idea they had and they figured it was obscure enough at the time no one would catch on. And to be fair I think I'm one of the only people who noticed.
@@gandalfcow717 Really? Any type of resurgence is good to hear about. I'm just surprised I never noticed it myself. Maybe it's because I try to stay away from bad movie licensed games? Yeah, you may very well be one of the only few people who noticed how the game's plot is a ripoff. The angels just needed an angry and sometimes incompetent inspector chasing them down constantly, throughout the game, and ALMOST catching them each and every time, but just slightly failing, and then, it'd definitely be a ripoff. But if Charlie's Angels had to rip something off, I'm glad they had good enough taste to go for Lupin the Third. But on the other hand, I'd rather have seen a GOOD ripoff of Lupin instead of this hilariously bad disaster.
@@nignamedmutt7270Has that ever happened to you in real life yet? Because I almost never hear "Snake Eater"...unless I choose the music for it in Smash Ultimate, on the Shadow Moses Island stage.
I think the cutscene's lip sync was rendered in French because whoever did the English localisation (probably the devs themselves) wasn't confident in their ability to translate to English. You can even see it in the "news report" cutscene, when the first newspaper flies in, the paper itself is the "Hareld Tribune" and the headline is "New York is orphan". At the very least least, the cutscene localisation was rushed.
The game grumps, dan and arin never figured the memory card thing out and played the first level like 4 times before giving up. It was pretty funny lol!
I don't understand the invisible wall thing. What is the benefit of stoping a player from going back? Imagine getting stuck behind the invisible wall while the extra life T-poses just out of reach.
It's a common thing in beat them up games. The camera won't move until you beat all the ennmies. The problem is that, as shown in the video, standard beat them up are 2D scrolling games so the invisible wall thing isn't as jarring as in that game.
I cannot unsee Natalie behaving like a goose after this video. Thanks for another great quality video. PS: That little remix near the end was unexpected, but awesome.
The health restoration items are based off the significant items or themes for each Angel. 1) Drew has a lighter, as you put, because it's her trusty lighter in the first movie. 2) Cameron has a CD because she loves dancing and music so much that she's almost always doing it in her spare time. She was even on Soul Train in the first flick. 3) Also in the first flick, Lucy Liu is trying very hard to make something edible as she wants to be a good cook. She is not. At one point she creates these rock hard muffins that one of the Angels jokingly picks up and throws at another Angel missing them and imbedding into a door(?) Also, how'd you miss the dancing idle animations!?
@@theoneonlygreatbadr6002 When did you first come out to your family. Or is this your first time! I'm flattered, but as I said, I'm into the three girls featured. Sorry.
"It's takes one Kraang" Or a Carmen Sandiego, because she steals freaking buildings and other large objects like a fussy mother sweeping up discarded legos
I think StopSkeletonsFromFighting put it best when he said the worst part of this is that the developers were clearly trying to make something pervy, and couldn't even produce something even remotely good enough looking to do even that. I've seen budget titles (even for the time) that looked WAY better.
I think there might have been an unused level where the Milkman would actually make sense. But instead of scrapping the enemy along with the level they instead placed him in the Grand Canyon level for whatever reason. Maybe the criminal Hideout was once located in a Suburban area?
To be fair, it's not that bad of a portrayal. I mean, she could also pass as Jade from MK, or even Poison Ivy. But Psylocke is a good choice. I would've liked to see Lucy Liu as Psylocke in any of the live action X-Men movies. Didn't even know I would've wanted that until right now... I mean, she is attractive, so it definitely works...
Hey guys, thank you so much for this video! More than a couple of times I found myself having to rewind a little bit to hear what you had said because I couldn't hear you over my own laughter. I'm so glad you're still doing 'It's Just Bad' videos. Your many hours of frustration playing through these abominations is greatly appreciated! hahaha! I may take a nap in a little bit and I feel as though the 'Charlie Honk' is going to haunt my dreams. ha! Thanks again, guys!
I'm sure she could also pass as either Poison Ivy,(probably couldn't do worse than uma thruman's awful performance of the character from Batman & Robin), or even Psylocke(a character from the X-Men series), as well.
That is the example of Jon being a complete maroon when it comes to games, he didn't even have the memory card in his gamecube, hence why he kept playong the first mission of the game, because he didn't know that it's a game breaking bug that Ubisoft didn't bother to fix
@@ChaseMC215 Right...because it's OBVIOUSLY Jontrons fault he didn't know about a stupid memory-card glitch that the developers didn't fix. What a moron, am I right?
I actually know Neko as the studio behind Super Army War. It is also a weird game, sort of an RTS action hybrid, and a lot of stuff is rather miss matched: WWII P51 Mustang, Vietnam era UH-1 Huey, a B52 that drops paratroopers... Though unlike this pile of crap Super Army War is actually a good game.
@@NemoracStrebor Yeah, this is easily the most detailed review. I'm sure Shane and friends have already watched reviews by AVGN and others to avoid duplicating jokes and observations.
This game has been reviewed by many people, but none of them I've seen have beat it until now. I've never seen any of them even make it to the 2nd level. We can always count on Rerez to be thorough.
Oh come on, guys - you had the PERFECT opportunity to play he Snake Eater theme song while Alex climbed that ladder, it would have been perfect. I was totally sitting here waiting for the music to kick off, because I just knew it would have to play given how long that ladder was - and you guys never played it. Then again, maybe the joke was too obvious, but even so, we still would have loved it.
Actually.. the torch on lady liberty is held up by spit and bubblegum. It's why the torch observation deck has been closed off for the last... oh... 80 years.
I love Rerez! You guys are always hilarious! 🤣🤣🤣 I almost choked on my food literally when I heard, " hey Bill there seems to be a dominatrix outside beating up the groundskeepers!* 🤣🤣🤣🤣 It's so stupid it reminds me of the scene in Super Mario Bros the movie, where the guy contacts king koopa and out of the blue says, "sir, the goombas are dancing again!" 🤣🤣
I remember when Jon Tron reviewed this game and couldn't get passed the first area for some reason. Guess it was cause of the memory card bug thing you said at the start of the video.
@@crazyluigi6664 seriously, why do people not want to use memory cards? Something tells me that Ubisoft did that on purpose to make you only play the Demo version if you don’t have the memory card inserted.
@@robbiewalker2831 I don't recall GameCubes coming with a memory card so it sounds like an extra middle finger to those who didn't think it a necessary expense.
The 2000 Charlie’s Angels movie I believe belongs comfortably in the whole wave of spy/espionage entertainment that followed in the wake of the huge success of Pierce Brosnan’s James Bond films and the first Mission: Impossible film. This wave also includes the likes of the Austin Powers trilogy, the Spy Kids films, Kim Possible, Secret Agent Cody Banks, Catch That Kid, Totally Spies and the Spy Gear toy line. What a time to be alive in the 2000s!
Great video. I remember some other youtubers playing this in the past but as with all the Just Bad Games series videos, the production quality and entertainment every video never fails to put a smile on my face. Keep up the great work Rerez!
I typically don't really like cheesy humor but you guys just do it so good and so wholesomely that you're one of my favorite channels on this whole entire platform
20 seconds in... That wasn't a glitch. It's an intentional design feature so game shops and places like McDonald's could set up a GameCube with the game and basically just have it as a demo. It used to be a fairly common feature.
I remember liking the Charlie's Angels movies and seeing this game at Blockbuster all the time and wanting to rent it. Thank god it was always rented out already.
Imagine being so privileged that you throw an entire unwrapped perfectly good muffin on your own floor for whoever cleans your place to pick up after you. lol sad thing is as shitty as this game is its still better than the last Charlies Angels movie. Great review as always Rerez, btw you might wanna TM that sweet beat in the outro, its fire! ;)
I gotta give Rerez props, I had no idea there were this many levels in this crap heap. They managed to get farther than AVGN and the Grumps, now that takes balls...I like balls.
This is one of my favorite Just Bad vids, and every now and then I re-watch it.... I always forget about Natalie's pain honks and end up spit-taking every. Single. Time.
14:35 Actually there is a LITTLE context for that line. If you were listening closely, you’d know Bosley said that they think the baddie’s lair is in the dungeon of the castle; black leather and whips, standard BDSM gear, is typically used in sex dungeons. See the connection? Granted it’s still sucky writing but at least it makes a little sense.
Fun Fact. The combat has the scoring system because originally it was supposed to be an action rhythm game similar to VIP, but with counters and actual timing.
