You understand nothing about the A-Team. Next you’ll start bitching about how B.A. never figured out that they were tricking him into flying every other episode.
Just to insert a moment of sanity into this thread…
Tanks are heavy; like really, seriously heavy. You would need some ridiculously bigass parachutes to ride one of them down and live to tell about it.
I do understand, though. I think staying faithful to the the jeep-flipping-magic-no-kill rule would be horrible in a movie. Of course they need to stay faithful to silly character quirks like B.A’s fear of flying. Of course jeeps should still flip - but three of the four people should not crawl out.
I don’t want the flick to be a splatterfest or as gory even as Inglourious Basterds, but it should have a similar treatment of death and violence as, to stick with the theme of campy TV to full-fledged major motion picture, the first Mission Impossible movie. Basically, I want the A-Team to kill Emilio Estevez inside the first fifteen minutes.
It can be fun, quirky, campy, and faithful - but they should absolutely aim for PG-13 for some intense action violence.
I hope they include BA’s welding. Give that guy a torch and plate steel. He often created armored cars, trucks and weapons. Best part of the show for me.
He does some welding in the trailer.
Nah, they’ve got to be wrongfully accused good guys who are so good, that they never kill anyone. If they start killing their enemies, even in immediate self defense, they become soulless mercenaries. So yes, when the helicopter crashes into the side of a cliff, then slowly rolls hundreds of feet to the ground, all four passengers must crawl out, shaking their heads and trotting out of range before the chopper explodes.
Oh, man! He would have made a GREAT Hannibal!!
So, you want the movie to suck.
He did it once already. Think about it: Hannibal, Face, B.A., Murdoch. They’re all there.
:eek: Wow, even more reason to love Three Kings.
Hah. Brilliant.
George Clooney would have been perfect! But as I like Liam Neeson, I’ll reserve judgment until I see the movie. Can’t wait - I grew up watching The A-Team and had a huge crush on George Peppard. Loved him in Banacek!
I think I’ve seen this movie already. Except it was with chicks.
Anybody remember Charlie’s Angels?
I hadn’t actually watched the trailer when I posted. OMG Bradley Cooper is perfect! I want him to father my children.*
*If I ever lose my mind and decide to procreate. But I would like to practice becoming pregnant with Bradley Cooper.
It’s an A-Team movie, I thought that was implicit.
Ice Cube really wanted to play B.A. I don’t know why it didn’t work out.
Oh God. YES.
I love A-Team. I realize every episode had the same plot, but I will watch marathons of it.
Why you doin’ this man? Why you got to jibber jabber all the time fillin’ my ears with this nonsense?
These were my original choices for casting:
Hannibal: George Clooney
Murdock: Jim Carrey
Face: Brad Pitt
B.A.: Will Smith or Ving Rhaimes (sp?)
It would’ve only cost about $80 million or so to cast these guys, but it’d recoup it the second week.
When I was a kid, we didn’t have a television. The only shows I ever saw were ones I would catch at a friends house occasionally and the one night each week when we went to my grandmother’s house to watch The A-Team as a family. Tuesday nights we’d all go to granny’s and mom, dad, and granny would all sit around the dining room table and chat while the kids would all watch The A-Team. It was our family show that everyone liked. I’m hoping they do a good job with this. Maybe we’ll get the family together to go watch it when it comes out.
Enjoy,
Steven
