Joseph Hacker in The A-Team (1983)

Goofs

Waste 'Em!

The A-Team

Edit

Continuity

When AJ and Lisa arrive at the repair shop to meet Hannibal for the first time, they are in a Ford van. When the van is driven into the paint booth (to be scanned by Face), it is a Chevrolet. It is still a Chevrolet when it is backed out of the booth, but in the following shot it is a Ford again.
When Face is about to go through the gate with B.A.'s van he is smoking a cigar. However, when his stunt double is driving through the gate the cigar is gone. It reappears in the next shot when Face gets out of the van.
Murdock's glove disappears and reappears between shots when he's shooting at the bad guys towards the end.

Factual errors

When building their improvised weapons for the finale, benzene is shown being poured from a large red can marked "Benzine".

Incorrectly regarded as goofs

Murdock's hand "Lefty" is his right hand.

This was deliberately done as a joke to emphasize Murdock's goofy nature.
Hannibal plants the bugged dart in Hagen's office by throwing it at the dartboard, yet B.A., through the bug, is able to hear very clearly that Hannibal has later been taken outside the office, down the stairs, and into a waiting car, as if Hannibal is still carrying the bug.

It is, however, shown that the bug is quite sensitive. Hearing a car outside doesn't mean you yourself are outside. The same is true with this bug.
At the end, it is revealed that B.A. used his own name to order something through the mail. This is odd as he is a fugitive on the run from the military.

It is worth pointing out firstly that it's not stated if B.A.'s "name" is in fact an alias he has adopted, however, assuming it is, the team have used their real names on numerous occasions. Plus it is inconceivable that the military would mount a full scale operation every time the name of a member of a team wanted for so long popped up in the U.S. Mail system, for example.

Revealing mistakes

The tracer that the team place in the toxic sludge drum is just an ordinary battery.

Character error

Face is worried that he cannot light the gun, so Hannibal tells him to throw the cigar out in front of himself and then "hit the gas". When he gets out of the van he keeps smoking the cigar and the gun just ignites without being lit.
When watching Hagen's men pour the toxic waste into the sewer, BA remarks "They're putting it in the manhole cover!". He should've said that they were putting it into the manhole, or sewer instead.
