Tyler Hoechlin auditioned for the part of Max.
The working title of the film was "Halo".
Jaclyn Smith was hired to play "Kelly Garrett", her character from "Charlie's Angels" (1976), the TV series on which this film is based.
In the weeks prior to the film's release, a series of short animated adventures featuring the voice of John Forsythe as Charlie were produced and distributed over the Internet. These adventures expand upon events shown at the start of the film.
Bruce Willis, who is the spokesperson for adoption, has a cameo in the film. He asked the three angels for a favor for his cameo, that they do a PSA for adoption. They (Barrymore, Liu, and Diaz) gladly did it.
Drew Barrymore is a huge supporter of "gun control". That is why none of the "Angels" are seen using any guns in this picture.
When Demi Moore is standing in the doorway shooting at the speaker box, behind her are portraits of the previous actresses who were in "Charlie's Angels" (1976).
The address on the envelope that Pete opens at the beginning of the film gives Pete and Natalie's address as 2028 The Strand, Hermosa Beach, California, which is a valid address on the beach.
The house used as Lucy Liu's residence was the same house used as Jacky Trehorn's residence in The Big Lebowski (1998)
The 1974 red Ford Torino with a white stripe used in "Starsky and Hutch" (1975) can be seen in the opening sequence.
A red men's room is seen during the opening credits with the angels dressed as men. This is actually an outtake from the first Charlie's Angels (2000). The bathroom was an exact replica of the one seen in Stanley Kubrick's The Shining (1980).
Many allusions to other films especially musicals and dance movies including Flashdance (1983) (welding with "What A Feeling" in the background), The Sound of Music (1965) (Song playing in the nun scene), Singin' in the Rain (1952) (The shouting man during the end premiere, and the Angels stepping over the couch) and many more.
The high school Pete attended was Rydell High School. A reference to the name of the high school in Grease (1978).
Drew Barrymore really wanted Bon Jovi's "Living on a Prayer" in a flashback scene. However, the rights to the song were too expensive, so Barrymore called Jon Bon Jovi told him how much she loved the song and how important it was to her that it be in the scene, and Bon Jovi found a loophole to enable them to use the song.
There is an outtake from the observatory sequence after the end credits.
