Retro Technology
The film pulled plenty of inspiration from the 1970s TV series, which is probably why it was such a success. From the hair flips to the Angels-style sunglasses, they even nabbed the original Charlie speakerphone, thanks to prop master Russell Bobbitt.
The speaker sitting on Bosley’s desk, through which the Angels hear Charlie’s assignments, is almost the same as the one used in the original TV series. The speaker in the original series had a small “Bell” in the lower corner, the movie version did not. A few other notable technology additions include the mobile phones (Nokia 8210) and the device that the Angels attach to the system in Red Star is a modified Griffin Technologies iMate, an ADB-USB adapter used to connect old Apple Desktop Bus peripherals to newer USB Macs.
