In 1972 a crack commando
unit was sent to prison
by a military court for a
crime they didn't commit.
These men promptly
escaped from a maximum
security stockade to the
Los Angeles underground.
Today, still wanted by the government,
they survive as soldiers of fortune.
If you have a problem,
if no one else can help,
and if you can find them,
maybe you can hire: the A-Team.
Yea crack
I have a mint condition action figure of the character "Face" still in it's blister card package.
I got it for 80 cents at the ARC thrift store back in 1996.
Still have it😊
If you ever happen to capture The A Team, don’t ever lock them in a barn filled with random vehicles, tools, machinery and assorted useful materials 👌🏻
Why would I want to capture the A Team in the first place
Good tip.
one of my favourite all time tv programmes
Peppard seems a diva with Mr T not far behind , but he seemed to redeem himself later in life .
@@raychambers3646 Boy George and Robert Vaughn both said Mr T was tiresome. Just constantly in BA’s own words ‘jibber, jabbering,’ and letting everyone know he was around. In contrast BG said Peppard was a gentleman and Vaughn was a friend of his anyway.
Ultimate Saturday was The A-team AirWolf Knight Rider The Fall Guy StreetHawk. God i miss the 80s.
The A-Team remains one of my fave 1980s TV series. Its said that the series was created specifically for Mr. T and he was paid $80,000.00 per episode.
Col. John Hannibal Smith, Amy Allen, B. A. Baracus & Gen. Hunt Stockwell (from Season 5).
Amy was definitely easier on the eyes than Tawnia Baker. Its arguable if Ms. Culea had 'bad blood' with George Peppard, as Stephen J. Cannell & Frank Lupo created the series and characters. Its said a reason Amy was eventually written off was that Melinda Culea wanted to be in more action oriented roles, given she's a reporter that would've been very difficult to do; a potential story might have been to have Amy kidnapped to draw out The A-Team to a showdown.
Another one of Mike Post's memorable TV themes was for The Rockford Files.
I still have the first A-Team novel and a the 3 issue Marvel Comics miniseries. A missed chance was to have The A-Team cross paths with G. I. Joe.
As for the violence seen, it wasn't different from that seen in other shows like The Six Million Dollar Man; in that series, Lee Majors himself requested that the show be family oriented without any violence as well.
Too bad The A-Team never crossed paths with MacGyver as well.
I always thought B. A. Stood for "Bad Attitude"! Sorry, my bad!! 😂
If memory serves... there was an episode where B.A.'s mom or grandma called B.A. "Scooter" because that was his nickname growing up in that universe. Just a random memory that came up when I read your post :)
Letting Melinda Culea go was a mistake , all she asked was to have more to do in the show , her character was in the pilot/1st season and a 1/2/and toyline so deserved her place.
I have many happy memories of The A Team. When I saw the movie, I couldn't help shedding a tear when they killed the van. Why did you kill the van? WHY ? 😭😭😭😭😭
Still got all 10 of the novels.
The problem with Dunigan he look a lot younger than he was. Benedict is 10 years older than him and looked old enough to have spent 7 years in the armed forces
I think Liam neeson played an amazing Hannibal, perfect for the role. A-team was my favourite show growing up.
Peppard & Mr T were at odds with each other over who’s the biggest star???
HM Murdock was by far the best character 👍
I always thought that H.M. Murdock stands for Howling Mad Murdock 😅 Okay, it doesnt sound like a real name.
If you have a problem, if nobody can help, and if you can find them, maybe you can hire, the A-Team.
You could always rely on BA to build something with 20 minutes left in the episode
I ain't gettin on no plane.
I love those modified M14 on set ♥️
Those are Ruger Mini 14s, which (no surprise) is just a shrunken semi-auto M14.
I'm always wary of big screen remakes of shows, with very good reason. However, I think the movie was fantastic.
The casting choices were phenomenal. Neeson just seemed to channel Peppard, and Cooper was perfect as Face.
Let's not forget that it gave us one of the most recognizable movie quotes; "No, they're trying to fly that tank"
A fun scene, which, when later analyzed by experts, turned out to be completely plausible.
...and it was a VERY A-Team thing to do.
I agree with Mr.T about the film. That scene was the only good thing about it for me.
But, I don't think I laughed harder at anything that year as did for that. That bit was perfection 😂
The movie was crap the van was destroyed in the first half hour of the movie what's the point me and my roommate went Nah and turned it off. Point being the van is as much a character as the cast.
You didn't miss anything!
Best theme music I still love it
your number 1 is stupid!!! doesn't count. Top 19
The A Team will always be my most fav show in the 80's I'm 50 years old and watched it when it 1st came out in the 80's I'm now still watching it again I'm now on season 3 and will probably will still watch for the next 20-30 years it will always be a classic for 100's of years
3:50 there is an episode where Face gets shot and looses lots of blood and is close to death. How can you have missed that th-cam.com/video/ssNrqY3bcRU/w-d-xo.htmlsi=f0US5jIjKG4qZ7lA
Whistle the intro once and enjoy your brain for the rest of the day.
Better than anything trailer swift has done.
Dammit! There goes my day. Thanks for that.
At work in the van when the driver would go round a corner a little fast passenger would always sing ,Der da da Der ,
Re-running the whole series on 'Legend' at the mo for those that want to revisit :D
Very good video. BUT Mr. T did have his own Saturday Morning Cartoon.
Steven j carnell has B'A's Gold on display at his house 😎
I had the toy van; until my older brother convinced me to destroy it 'for a bit of fun.'
I like 👍 the a team 😮
Wow... I didn't think it could be possible for me to care any less about the A-Team. Thanks for proving me wrong. 🤣
My pleasure, I aim to please 😉
I love hearing about The A-Team.
the death fact is incorrect, in one episode a charachter is killed trying to stop poachers, their sister then hires the A team to bring the poachers to justice
is that "on-screen"? the quote was no "on-screen deaths, except for ..."?
What about the game warden in Africa
You're right, but his death was deliberately off screen. 'Bull' Fulbright hammed up his great death scene on screen, and it's great.
I had such a crush on Melinda Culea
The show never really did it for me. Might have to do with the explosions. I did enjoy the episodes that i watched when it was on TV. So i knew who Mr T was. My favorites are Automan, Knight Rider and last but not least Airwolf (as i wrote the word i hear the theme music in my head). Magnum was a show i watched from time to time. What looked like and probably is warmer weather and the palm trees (in Swedish palm trees is one word) made a lasting impression. Well, also Higgins of course.
Not sure number 10 is correct. We were never told when the mission was. They were sent to prison in 1972. Crime could have been before that.
Fire Mr.t ...that would of ended the show lol you do what he says. We don't care if you're lactose intolerant, drink that milk if Mr t asks you too
I’m sure a character dies in the series 1 episode in Las Vegas. And David McCallum’s character and Face’s father in Series 5. Unless it’s meant that they had to be seen dying like Fulbright.
You actually see the guy falling from his highrise condo, and him floating face down in the pool.
That to me counts as an on screen death. (Though he was killed by his henchman, not the team)
@@NemesisRTCW Fulbright wasn’t killed by the team, either. Wasn’t there also a death in the episode with Boy George? A sheriff was seen with blood on his head?
@@mrsunshine6936
Yup, the real sheriff was killed by the fake one and his accomplices who ran the bar.
With the movie. Cameos by Schutlz and Benadict were cut but put back in when released on streamers
Dirk Benedick said A-Team creator made the face man role for him after he seen Dirk play starbuck in Battlestar Galactica but NBC said he wasnt good looking enough. Creator faught NBC to give him the role after the pilot.
The A-Team van was in Twice''s Bulldozer K-Pop music video
I was 8 or so when it premiered. Dad and I would count how many cars flipped over each episode.
PER PARD!!!
So, the devil walks into a bar 😅
Where did he get his info???
we know all this
I had the HotWheels toy of the van, and yes, it was all black. Also, the red stripe came off very easily.
The joke is that the A team was in a way more known outside of the US then inside.
Like the first time they came to the Netherlands they could just not understand how much people came to just see them walking of the aircraft.
That must have been in the 90s as that was when they started to be aired here and they are quite often rerun with stil people enjoying them.
The "A-Team" Movie wasn't bad because of too much violence and people dying. It was bad because it had a stupid plot and stupid premises.
The TV series could get away with that, but if you're going to make a 2 hour movie, audiences expect more.
Loved the A-Team still do! Watch it all the time! But it isn't graphic enough for me! Hannibal and Murdock are my favorites!
It was my favourite as a kid. I watched the 1st season last week, still a great show.
@rockywatchesmovies Yes, I agree! Shows like this are better than the crap on TV etc. today! 60s 70s and 80s and some 90s TV and movies over and over is all I watch!
I watched it for a few weeks and got tired of it because it was too unbelievable between nobody ever getting hurt and them using thin tin as armor all the time.
