This one is more boring than anyone has the right to expect after looking at that title. Actually, the Angels only do three big stunts in this episode, and I'm 99% certain they were all doubled for all of them - why else would the camera pull so far away when they started executing the stunts? The rest of the time the "stuntwomen" Angels just sit around or duck for cover while the real stunt people on the set do their stage fighting. The mystery is not much either; there are really only two suspects, the episode even SHOWS you who the "mad archer" is halfway through, but adds a last-minute small twist that is kind of stupid. One scene I did like was Kris' expression after testing a drink with a supposed "calming effect", which she has prepared according to the instructions of the man who hires the Angels. ** out of 4.

This episode has the Angels playing stuntwomen for a cartoonishly arrogant studio executive who is being targeted for harassment and attempted murder by someone dressed in an archer's uniform. The client comes across as so boorish, I would have enjoyed this better if Kris had just cracked him in the head with a liquor bottle instead of pouring him a drink at the Townsend offices, and then refused the case. He's that aggravating.

A 'western" film is one of the set pieces.

There are an assortment of gags aimed at embarrassing the Angels, and several of them fall flat. The climax is rather underwhelming.

The episode was presumably filmed at 20th Century Fox, where much of the set-based action on the entire "Angels" series took place.

This episode comes close to one of the worst in the series. First of all it was a bad choice to have an episode where the angels cover is stunt women since in most of the episodes it's painfully obvious that the actresses are replaced by stunt doubles. And perhaps times have moved on and we have been spoiled by behind the scenes documentaries and director's commentaries but stunts on a movie are not thrown together with quick chat about "throw a punch here and fall off that balcony" but everything is planned and designed so that people don't get hurt. Fights are planned out punch by punch and things are filmed shot by shot, not just some mad brawl with action going on all of the set. And the idea that the archer would shoot somebody and everyone else just stands there thinking how terrible it is rather than run after him is rather far fetched too. Some semblance to reality would be nice.
