180 Charlie's Angles: Full Throttle tokyo japan

Sequel: Full Throttle

The girls were mobbed byfans as they plugged the Angels sequel, Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle.

Diaz said: "I lived here when I was 16 for three months and I had the most amazing experiece.

"I love Japan, the people and culture. I'm so happy and thrilled to be here."

The first Angels film was released in November 2000 and was a big hit.

But this time around Charlie's girls are aiming for an even bigger audience with a lot more action.

"The level of action is so much bigger than the first film," Liu said.

"We wanted to bring in more audience, for men and boys, so we took it to an even higher level and it's much greater, much more fierce.

"We got down in dirty, we weren't afraid to get hurt...it's just more hardcore."

The girls also admit to being big fans of the original series - a hint that there could be more Angels flicks to come.

"We love the original show and when we were trying to make this film, we wanted to make sure that it was attached to the series, that the agency never stopped going," Barrymore said.

Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle opens in Japan and the US on June 27th, and in the UK in November.
