High Concept Film - Charlie's Angels

• Self conscious allusion to films and television - In the plane scene at the beginning, a character talks about one of the films being shown on the plane is adapted from an 'old tv show'. Charlie's Angels is itself, adapted from an 'old tv show'.
• Use of extended montages - There is a flashback sequence showing us the characters, with music accompaniment.
• Hyperbolic physiques and action - The three Angels' appearance is typically hyperbolic.
• Post-generic filmmaking - Combines the 'action' and 'comedy' genres
• Easily replicated in publicity - Most of the scenes in the movie contain enough action to easily represent the film in a poster.
• Formal excess - Action scenes involve over the top and physically impossible moves, as well as slow motion moments.
• Ironic distanciation - The car chase scene manages to get to the Golden Gate bridge, a landmark of San Francisco.
