Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaB.A. Baracus (Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson) bears the tattoos "Pity" and "Fool" on his knuckles, as a tribute to Mr. T's catchphrase from Rocky III (1982): "I pity the fool!" Contrary to popular belief, Mr. T never uttered that exact phrase on The A-Team (1983).
- GoofsTo replace a firing pin in a 1911 requires at the very least a punch and a retainer plate. It would have been impossible for Hannibal to simply drop the firing pin into his pistol and have it function, as there is a spring that provides constant rearward pressure and must be put under tension before the retaining plate can be slid into place.
- Quotes
Col. John 'Hannibal' Smith: Give me a minute, I'm good. Give me an hour, I'm great. Give me six months, I'm unbeatable.
- Crazy creditsThe film's theatrical release features two out-of-place scenes after the closing credits, featuring two of the original The A-Team (1983):
- at Penascola, Face gets tips from fellow inmate Milt (played by Dirk Benedict, the original Face)
- Frankfurt, Murdock is analyzed by a German doctor (played by Dwight Schultz, the original Murdock).
These scenes were set back in their chronological place in the film's extended edition/home release.
- Alternate versionsThe UK release was cut, two reels from this film were originally shown to the BBFC in unfinished form to consider language issues. The distributor were advised that two inadequately obscured uses of 'motherfucker' would result in a 15 classification rather than the requested 12A. When the finished version of the film was submitted for formal classification, the two uses of the term had been further obscured and the film was classified 12A.

Featured review
I just returned from watching this movie, and frankly, I didn't even know it was a story taken from an earlier series until I wikipedia-ed it just now. That being said, the expectations and sensitivities in a fan of the original series is non-existent in me, so this is purely based on what I felt about the movie itself.
First off, the casting is near perfect. Everyone had a role that they played very well, and while Rampage Jackson's acting could have been a little better, his presence and screen time were downplayed to perhaps make up for it. But that's what I'm talking about, it was a very good balance of characters that was consistently carried throughout the movie. Who really stood out for me was Sharlto Copley. For someone who wasn't professionally trained as an actor, he portrayed the crazy Murdoch flawlessly. I brought my parents to watch the show and they loved his performance, with mom going as far to say the movie worked because everything funny came from him. I have to agree, I was certainly very entertained for the whole duration of the movie largely due to him.
What I didn't particularly like were the computer generated effects. They looked quite fake at times, and it hints at a rushed job by animators. While the first three quarters of the film had a fairly consistent amount of action, the last quarter was overkill. Spoilt the movie a little for me, but the overall experience was a good one. Movies are meant to entertain and I most definitely was, much more than I expected for the price I paid for my ticket. Word of warning though - you really shouldn't think too deeply about the story when you're watching this. There are unresolved plot holes and some people have expressed upset at this, but the film was never marketed as a 'story' kind of film in any way so they really should've known better.
This movie is not for movie buffs who look for the meaning of life in films, but if a hilarious, well-acted, action-packed movie is your thing? I say go watch this now.
Story : Okay
Acting : Ranging from awesome to not bad
Cast dynamics :Brilliant
Hilarity factor : Totally
Special Effects : Acceptable to meh at times
Duration : Long but I didn't feel it
Would watch again : YEAH.
