A “No Guns” Policy
While it is to be expected that the angels are involved in punches, kicks, and gravity-defying moves for fight scenes, but Barrymore, who also produced the film with her company Flower Films, wasn’t keen on adding guns to help the angels fight their battles.
During an appearance on The Rosie O’Donnell Show, she explained her thought process and reasoning around this anti-gun decision: “There’s a responsibility there, and it’s not patronizing or beaten over your head. We jump out of airplanes, race cars, drive speedboats — there’s so much going on, you don’t miss it.” Plus, it is nice to see three strong women not use assault weapons – other than their fists and personal grit!
