There's a whole heap of that nowadays. The Mission Impossible movies have lots of practical stunts, as did Mad Max: Fury Road (the CGI was the eye-catching mountains, not the action).
@@Desslar I honestly don't watch that many TV-series. If I'm not mistaken, shows use LESS CGI because it costs a lot of money to get it even remotely nice-looking.
Practical stunts are even more expensive to do well though. Which is one reason why they have nearly disappeared from TV. The only TV series I can think that still does practical car stunts is the German series Alarm für Cobra 11 .
We used to watch the A-Team literally falling about laughing. The story lines are so out of this world. How they didn't burst out laughing as they spoke their lines is one of the greatest mysteries ever.
The cost of the LE Car, the damaged Freightliner and the fuel was probably more than the value of 20 tons of watermelon… meanwhile the other guy has a staff of 20, several pickups and a helicopter 😂
I had one just like it. Every time I called the auto-parts store looking for parts, they would ask me for what vehicle, once I would tell them, I could hear them laughing on the background.
I used to love the show intro where they show a clip from almost every episode. I would sit and say seen it,seen it,seen it, trying/hoping to see an episode that i missed. I feel you though I've seen them all probably four or five times over!
New here, are there full episodes? Seems to be sequenes only and I cant find either when an episode starts or ends? After two sequences of this water melon episode a new episode begins and I cant watch how the episode ende? All confused here🥴🥴

WOW... as i've watched a few of these old vids. i realised that these guys were the original McGuyvers. think about it. almost every episode is them traveling somewhere else to help folks. and usually ends with them building up some sort of equipment, with whats available, to defeat the bad guys.
Ok so the idea of a 'hmmmv' combat turret, actually came from maybe this episode of the A-team. And GTA 5 might have gotten the tire nails idea from this episode also, maybe. Nice history lesson though 👍🏼
Say what you want but I'll never stop loving the A-Team
There's nothing to say I love the A-team to
Def
Never
The badger note me I love ba and
Me too ❤️❤️
Always loved the scenes where the guys are ripping stuff apart and putting new things together. It was half the fun of the show.
Always trying to guess what they were going to make out of it.
Definitely one of my favorite parts of the show!
Yeah, and they did it all in 30 minutes.
We need to find a junkyard!!!
I just love how a sheet of corrugated roofing metal a few millimetres thick can stop a bullet in this show. That stuff barely stops rain on a good day!
It helps to reduce visibility in order to aim and shoot at them. It increases the likelihood of missing, so it is effective.
If you look carefully the front plate on the windshield is made of cardboard you can actually see the waves inside the cardboard from the bottom
Hahaha
They made thing thicker and better. Back in the 1980’s.
Well.
Do t forgwt thwy also had so.e hay bales attached ao the two together would koat likely do the job!
Love the exploding nails for taking out tyres.
You can get them on amazon.

It's amazing how BA always has a blowtorch that materialize s out of nowhere.
It was hidden under his chains.
What is she complaining about? The car actually looks better.
It's in the script bro. It's not real life. Dummy
Plus he can take it and make what looks like an all day job only take a few minutes 😉
That's because he was a Boy Scout.
I love it when a plan comes together
All this drama and action of a truck full of watermelon s, my god😂😂, love it
I never realized how immaculate BA's hands were for a man who does that much metal work.
I love this series so much it brings back to fun days of my childhood
Absolutely
All of that.. for some water melons?! Aaaah life was so much more simple in the 80’s
Some people have died for much less!
- Magnificent 7 remake
Yeah, back on the Block.
I'm in love with water melons... Oh wait ! What melons are you talking about ?
Ha.....🤣 water Melons.....mercy.....!!!
You never knew how dangerous water melon bussiness could be
It wasn't the watermelons per se. The bad guy wanted the land of the watermelon farm.
I love B.A. aka Baracus who always has a creative idea with utilizing objects around becomes dangerous machine
The biggest reason I loved the show - building stuff.
Wow, real stunt work with no CGI, when was the last time you saw that?
The Dark Knight (2008).

“We need a car thats fast” looks at le Car.
Well their other option would have been a farming tractor, so the Le Car was probably marginally faster.
@@SmartassX1 not so sure, with all that extra weight :)
Le Car's suspension and steering would've died under the weight of that steel but God I love this show
The A Team was the best show ever!
Always has been.
I've never Seen this scene. I'm proud that a french car turned un this serie.🇫🇷🇺🇸
I used to have a Renault like that, a rare 4 door.
It rode real soft, like a caddy!
Miss that car....
Didn’t know they made it in the 4 door model.
The building montages were my favorite part of the A-Team.
Cartoon physics with MacGyver engineering might get you hurt in real life but was fun entertainment to watch back then. Ooh loved that Amy!
The A-Team predates MacGyver, so it's A-Team engineering in MacGyver...
That line about Face being able to con anyone out of anything seemed like a double entendre.
Yes, yes it is and there's a whole generation still learning lessons from this show
I saw this episode when it was broadcasted on television back in the 80's
I remember this one well

I remember this one in particular cause the curious presence of the lil' Renault
We got to go to bed at 8:00 on A-Team night. The rest of the nights we had a 7:30 bedtime.
Watching this on mute, still hear the iconic music in my head

One of these statements isn't true.
I can't even stand wearing my watch when working on my car, but BA is building a tank wearing chains, rings and bracelets :P
And to think BA and Hannibal hated each other guts in real life man this is some world class acting 🎭 !!!!!
Its not that Mr T hated George Peppard. George hated how Mr T was more popular than George.

After adding the armour, they should have re-labelled it ""le Char"
The definition of my childhood 😢 😍😍😩. Memories
This was the first episode of The A-Team that I ever saw. Also nice cabovers.
In the A-Team universe bullets bounce off normal cars, even normal windscreens, so not sure on the need for metal plate. Oh well, looks good.
Bullets never hit anyone anyway, so who cares in the first place?
I always loved b a pretending to drive .. left right left right 😂😂
It happens in all the old tv shows.
You don't drive like that?🤔
Wow ! This car !!!
Renault R5 . Quelle epoque ! Ma mère avait la même en verte .
Excellent.
"I'm stubborn, it's a real character flaw!" 🤣
Le Car, the name that reminds you it really is a car.
And here I thought "Le Car" was French for Shitbox.
I find this is one to be one of their best episodes. Definitely top 3 for me.
I never missed one episode of this show.
A great life lesson from the A-Team - use what you've got.
In Brazil The A-Team is Esquadrão Classe A. The Best.

Strange weather they have over there. One moment it's dry, the other it just rained. 😁
One "minor" design flaw BA overlooked with the "Renault Tank" is that you have next to no visibility through the front windscreen lol!
That's the first thing I noticed
Watching now as an adult nothing of what they do makes sense, but I don't care still awesome
True... The so called armor looks paperthin too :)
Kinda like a Mad Max movie for children.
Apparently, the second Mad Max movie, The Road Warrior, was one of the inspirations for The A-Team.
The hay on the tailgate done it for me.... That was the final straw 😂😂😂😂😂

@The Wandering Fool NOT in that way.🙄
3:58 🤣 Great delivery.
What do you mean?
Maybe that's why only lasted two seasons
Question: how does the A-Team turn ordinary vehicles into armor plated, battle machine on wheels, without even using a tank?
Spare parts and ingenuity.
Imagine if they customize a gundam?
A better question is how does that Renault still move with all the extra weight on it?
@@ALSmith-zz4yy there might have been some off camera tuning going on there.
Why even bother, both the a-team and their enemies spray huge amounts of bullets and never hit anyone.

making the little R5 an armored little funky car its an original idea lmao

Amy, trust me.... you're better off letting that car get destroyed.
None of that armor was bulletproof.
