Madison Lee is the main antagonist in the 2003 film Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle, the sequel to the 2000 Charlie's Angels film.
She is a former Angel who was planning to sell sensitive information to crime rings. Being tired of Charlie's wise mentoring for her, she decided to go rogue against his wishes. She is also the former idol of Natalie, who used to look up on her.
She was portrayed by Demi Moore, who also played Dallas Grimes in Beavis and Butt-head Do America, Sarah Robertson in Margin Call, and the General in Animals.
Biography[]
Madison was once an Angel working for Charlie. Madison, like fellow angel Natalie Cook, was an avid surfer and drove a Ferrari (a red one in Madison's case). Her weapon of choice were two matching gold plated Desert Eagle pistols. She was noted for inventing the molar mic, an internal communication device placed on a rear molar inside the mouth, and often referred to the Cosmopolitan Magazine Bedside Astrological Guide.
Although once regarded as the greatest Angel of all, Madison had a reputation as being a loose cannon even when she worked for Charlie, who stated she wasn't a team player; her independent actions resulted in her being severely injured during the notable DeSoto Case (hinted she took three bullets in the chest) when she didn't wait for back-up from her fellow Angels, with her teammates and Charlie not even expecting her to live for a while after she was rescued.
It was then that she believed that a greater destiny awaited her, greater than taking orders via speaker-box from the faceless voice of Charlie. During a later confrontation, Charlie acknowledged that Madison was good in her day; however, she in so much emotional pain, corrected him: "I wasn't good," she stated. "I was great!" An accomplished athlete and gymnast, Lee does respect the current Angels for the fighting skill and reminisced briefly when they struck their trademark ass-kicking pose. That being said, she noted that the difference between them was that "In my day, we used guns."
Madison Lee devises a plan to ultimately obtain HALO rings (2 finger sized rings) which hold information on every person in the Witness Protection Program, including current Angel Dylan Saunders (Played by Drew Barrymore). She is defeated and killed after a fall through the floor of an abandoned theater followed by a gas explosion caused by her own gun during a final fight with the Angels.
