The A-Team	comment	The film adaptation of The A-Team series, written and directed by Joe Carnahan and released in 2010.The film follows the Ragtag Bunch of Misfits from their roots when they come together pulling off a mission against a drug lord in Mexico. They become a legendary "crack commando team" running operations that regular military teams can't do. Col. John "Hannibal" Smith (Liam Neeson) is the leader, the Man with the Plan. Lt. Templeton "Face" Peck (Bradley Cooper) is the charmer, point man and has been with Hannibal longer than the rest. Cpl. Bosco "B.A." Baracus (Quinton Jackson) is the machine savvy bruiser of the team. And Capt. H.M. "Howling Mad" Murdock (Sharlto Copley) is their (possibly insane) Ace Pilot.Eight years and "80 successful missions" later, a complicated series of events put them in a very delicate operation to recover U.S. minting plates and several million dollars printed by them. Upon a successful completion, their commanding officer General Morrison (Gerald McRaney) is killed by a car bomb and the plates stolen, along with the money being torched.Because of how classified the mission was, Morrison was the only one who could verify their story and they effectively look like bank robbers and conspirators with a rival mercenary group. They are charged with war crimes, stripped of their rank and sent to prison. But even that isn't enough to stop them, as six months later they break out of prison with the help of a CIA operative and set out to clear their name. This involves tracking down the location of the plates, the PMC leader who framed them, plenty of collateral damage, and the A-Team Montage.

It does work for the character, though, seeing as he is insane and an omniglot, and a lot of the more noticeable ones ("Oh you gorgeous rustbucket, did you miss your daddy!") were on purpose. At one point, Copley unleashes his real-life accent in all its unintelligible glory when Murdock impersonates a South African cameraman. Liam Neeson has a few moments of this as well, mostly when he's saying anything with an "oo" sound, like "you."

The A-Team / int_392372f9	type	Actor Allusion
The A-Team / int_392372f9	comment	Actor Allusion: There are a couple of nods to Sharlto Copley's South African nationality. Observable when Murdock's blabbering in a South African accent early in the film to get past journalists. He also speaks Swahili at one point. It also alludes to his role in District 9. There's the part where Hannibal lures Lynch into a trap in a container, reminiscent of Batman Begins where Ras also compares fighting styles they're both using on each other. The "3D" film at a psychiatric hospital plays the show's theme tune, and one of the names of its opening credits read "Reginald Barclay" — referencing Dwight Shultz's role as Lt. Barclay in Star Trek: The Next Generation. Other names in the credits include G. F. Starbuck, a veiled reference to Dirk Benedict's Starbuck from Battlestar Galactica, and two more not clearly seen but confirmed by Word of God — Thomas Banacek (for George Peppard) and Clubber Lang (for Mr. T). Less elaborate than the above, but when the team had to travel through customs disguised in hilarious ethnic gear, Hannibal (played by Liam Neeson) basically went through as... Liam Neeson.

The A-Team / int_3ae6199a	comment	Lynch is a less than competent Psychopathic Manchild taking the opportunity to profit from the war, while his team are a bunch of fools and incompetents so bad they make Lynch look good in comparison. What's really notable is that the entire CIA is viewed in this light. Hannibal and Morrison both recall working with CIA agents in previous conflicts, but it's not a fond memory. And if Hannibal is correct, the entire CIA leadership is in on Lynch's plan to steal the engraving plates and give Langley "their own printing press."

The A-Team / int_3c0a4666	comment	Noodle Incident: The team makes numerous references to past missions, seeing as how they have 8 years and 80 missions worth of material. Still wondering what the hell went on in Venezuela. Or why Face was so beat up in that first scene in Iraq, he had multiple bandages and an IV in one arm. In their initial meetings with Lynch, Hannibal notes that he knew an "Agent Lynch" during Desert Storm, while Morrison knew another one in Laos. Knowing them, whatever they were doing in these wars was probably eventful enough to deserve an entire movie for each of them. Also prior to meeting the rest of the team, B.A. had been dishonorably discharged for "some bullshit".note The "War Stories" prequel comic at least covers this, though its canonicity is debatable: some of B.A.'s co-workers were running a black market ring supplying Middle Eastern street gangs with U.S. Army weapons, and roped him into it without his knowledge. When he realized what he was into, he put an end to it and brought it to his superiors' attention. However, the Army authorities ruled that while he wasn't as guilty of the others, he should have known better than to involve himself in such shady events to begin with, and choose to discharge rather than commend him. In the original series BA had punched out a high-ranking officer in Vietnam who the A Team later had to rescue. This is another Mythology Gag.

The A-Team / int_40cbee83	comment	Wretched Hive: Sadr City, where the initial mission to retrieve the engraving plates takes place, is described as such by Morrison.note In real life, Sadr City was a Baghdad district that was developed with an eye to housing the urban poor and rural migrants, disproportionately Shi'a at a time when Iraq's rulers were Sunni; as a result, its residents tended to be badly neglected and abused. The situation did not improve after the U.S. invasion and the subsequent ethnic infighting, with the district becoming a militant hotbed and clashes with American soldiers being frequent, leaving many of them with this view of it. It's no surprise that Morrison is very hesitant to send a mission there, or that the Army brass contracted with a mercenary firm instead of sending their own men after the plates.

What's really notable is that the entire CIA is viewed in this light. Hannibal and Morrison both recall working with CIA agents in previous conflicts, but it's not a fond memory. And if Hannibal is correct, the entire CIA leadership is in on Lynch's plan to steal the engraving plates and give Langley "their own printing press." Inverted with Face, the unit's intelligence officer. He's very good at being a spy, while still being a competent soldier and a loyal friend and teammate. While he's happy to take advantage of bystanders for the sake of a mission, he also doesn't deliberately endanger and discard them once he's done with them as Lynch is fond of doing.

In real life US planes aren't allowed to fire missiles over US territory without orders from the President. In an early scene Agent Lynch, General Morrison, and Hannibal are meeting together and as Lynch leaves Morrison comments on the fact that he's wearing body armor in the command tent, implying that Lynch doesn't trust his own allies. Actually, Lynch's wearing body armor isn't unusual at all; military personnel in an active deployment zone are expected to wear their full gear at all times, even when they're just standing around in the command tent. (After all, one never knows when an attack might arrive.) The fact that Morrison and Smith aren't wearing their gear is more surprising. An Operational Detachment Alpha (the units that were colloquially named "A-Teams") consists of twelve soldiers, not four. In addition, each ODA specializes in a particular type of mission (mountain warfare, combat diving, etc) as opposed to being the Jack of All Trades the team in the movie is. Of course, this is staying true to the TV show, and it would be a lot harder to give each of them their due if you had twelve main characters instead of four.

One of his staples is steak, "nuked" by peppering Cordite on it and then flipping it over to expose it to the flame, and served up with a side of antifreeze. What disqualifies him from Lethal Chef status is that this dish was so good the team wanted to eat it again (although Face noted that he'd like Murdock to hold the antifreeze, since it ended up giving him partial paralysis). B.A. is also rather fond of his coconut curry tapenade.

The A-Team / int_7d34f23a	comment	Reckless Gun Usage: A group of CIA agents grab Pike, handcuff him, and put him in the back of a car. Suddenly one of the agents in the back seat decides to shoot Pike there in the car, much to the surprise of their leader Lynch. However he's so inexperienced that Pike, in a rare Affably Evil moment, begins walking the agent through how to load and prepare his gun for use. Then the agent starts fiddling with a Hollywood Silencer, trying to put it on the wrong way, (and while the gun is pointing at himself) and insisting on calling it a silencer rather than a suppressor, despite Pike's attempts to correct him on the terminology. Then he lines up to shoot Pike in such a way that if his hand so much as twitches he'll be more likely to kill the agent on the other side of Pike instead. At that point, Pike gets so exasperated that he takes the gun away from the agent (he can do it because they handcuffed him wrong) states that "it would be embarrassing to get killed by that guy" and hands the gun over to the other agent in the hopes that the second agent will be more competent and allow him to die with some dignity. Amazingly, the other guy manages to top the first by answering his cell phone while he's holding the gun, and winds up holding the phone to one side of his face while pressing the loaded, ready to fire gun against the other side. At this point even Lynch, who is constantly criticized for being a desk jockey with little to no real world experience, looks seriously disturbed by the morons on his team. This is all going on in a moving vehicle too, adding to the likelihood of an I Just Shot Marvin in the Face moment.

He was their CO, was a lifelong friend of Hannibal's, and is implied to have had a long-running relationship with the entire team. The reveal shakes B.A, Face, and Murdock to the core, Face enough so to make him nearly commit murder on the spot. Hannibal's under more control, but only because he'd already deduced who the traitor was: "The Reason You Suck" Speech he gives Morrison after ordering the other three out of the room shows that he's, if anything, even more nauseated by what happened than they are. In a much milder but still real version, this causes the rest of the team to have this reaction to Hannibal, too - not because they think he'd betray them, but because he didn't see the betrayal coming. After eight years under his command, the reminder that even he isn't infallible comes as a nasty shock.

The A-Team / int_8879db82	comment	Badass Crew: The entire team, of course: Hannibal is an extremely skilled fighter, but even that pales in comparison to his keen intellect and his ability to come up with fool-proof plans at the drop of a hat. Face is a career soldier and a crack shot. Baracus is a mountain of a man, and by far the most lethal in hand-to-hand combat. Though not much of a fighter, Murdock is a wizard at the controls of any flying vehicle, and is more than capable of making them do the impossible. Brock Pike as well, despite Hannibal's scorn for the man. He is consistently the only real threat to the A-Team, always seeing through their plans and very nearly foiling them at every turn, most notably when he blows up the A-Team's tanker, and their plan, with a rocket launcher. He's also no slouch in the combat department: he out-shoots Face and was only taken out when Baracus blindsided him and engaged him in CQC.

The A-Team / int_964ea66c	comment	A-Team Firing: While there is still a lot of gunfire, many people - random mook soldiers and main characters alike - actually do get shot, which B.A.'s TV portrayer Mr. T found it unacceptable in The A-Team media. Since this A-Team actually shoots to kill, it isn't as extreme an example of the original Trope Namer. Played with within the movie itself. B.A. becomes a pacifist and refuses to shoot to kill during part of the movie (perhaps a Shout-Out to the trope), and one of the things the A-Team prides themselves on is getting things done with minimal casualties (note minimal, not none); that is in contrast to the trigger-happy Pike. And then Justified with Pike during the Germany scene. Pike's eyes are watering from having just been flashbanged and he is firing a stockless rifle fully automatically. Played completely straight with the flying tank however. While Face is able to connect on shots with both the coaxial machine gun and the main gun against two Reaper drones, he is also able to fire the tank's main gun directly downwards at a lake (to utilize Recoil Boost) without hitting that German fisherman in his rowboat right next to the tank's eventual landing spot.

The A-Team / int_c75df49a	comment	Shout-Out: Murdock smears half of his face with blue paint and references Braveheart. While looking at AC-130 camera footage, Lynch exclaims "It's just like Call of Duty!" Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare featured a section where the player controls the weapons on an AC-130U "Spooky" gunship. The audience sees only a glimpse of what the antagonist is seeing, but it does indeed resemble that section. Also noting that the Gunship's call sign is Broadsword. Even better - it also directly references the MW2 AC-130 perk, since the AC-130's turrets are controlled from a laptop, as it is here. Also, this refers to Brian Bloom (who portrays Psycho for Hire and Dragon with an Agenda Brock Pike and was one of the film's screenwriters) having lend his voice to the Call of Duty games (Bloom provided additional voices in Call of Duty: Finest Hour, Call of Duty: World at War, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, Call of Duty: Black Ops II and Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare, while he also voiced characters Guzzo in Call of Duty 3, Yuri in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 and Keegan P. Russ in Call of Duty: Ghosts). When the 3D movie "The Greater Escape" plays in the nuthouse, one of the names listed is Reginald Barkley. This is a reference to a character played by Dwight Shultz in Star Trek: The Next Generation. He also played H.M. Murdock in the original A-Team TV Series. Also partial obscured names could also be references, but the full name could be a reference to other roles the original actors played. We can see Thomas (obscured last name. This could be Thomas Banacek played by George Peppard. Also seen is G.F. Star(obscured). This might be Starbuck played by Dirk Benedict. The MacGuffin of the movie, a set of engraving plates offered by the U.S. government to the Shah of Iran, is the same one that was used in Rush Hour 2 nine years earlier. In that movie, the engraving plates went missing during the Iranian Revolution, and eventually made their way to a Hong Kong Triad through the black market. In this one, the Iraqis stole the plates during the Iranâ€“Iraq War.

Chalk it up to Rule of Murdock. The fight scene with the Reaper drones is utter nonsense. The Reaper couldn't intercept the A-Team's plane to begin with: the normal cruising speed of a C-130 is 336 mph (540 km/h) but the Reaper tops out at about 300 mph (482 km/h). Also, they aren't armed with machine guns, only missiles (and air-to-ground missiles at that), nor are they capable of the dogfighting-level maneuverability seen in the tank scene. They're designed for long loiter time in low-velocity flight, and are known to lose their connection to the satellite if they bank too hard to right or left.

Made more awesome by the fact that he often only needs as much time to come up with a plan as others would an Indy Ploy. Note that his plans still can and at times do go wrong, for example the seaport scene, where the team only avoided having to fight their way through the security due to Murdock and B.A.'s unspoken understanding of foreign cultures- they are to disguise themselves as a rabbi and a Tanzanian citizen, respectively, but manage to assume each others' "identities" convincingly when it turns out that Face gave them the wrong passports. Even Hannibal comments afterward, "There is a God". Face may be turning into this by the end of the movie. He, not Hannibal, is the one who sets up the final plan to expose Lynch in LA harbor. (Though since they're up against a CIA agent and Face is an Army Intelligence officer, he's also uniquely qualified to figuring out how the other person thinks - note that his plan only goes wrong when Pike, who's a different animal altogether, takes matters into his own hands).

He ain't gettin' up from that one, folks.

The A-Team / int_f511ea9b	comment	Product Placement: Everyone seems to be driving Mercedes-Benz cars. There's also Sosa's Dell computer, which is exactly the utilitarian model you'd get saddled with on a government budget. Fridge Brilliance concerning the cars: They're in Germany! Utterly lampooned in the official spoof trailer by Orange, in which even the cast ends up complaining about how much it's wrecking the movie ("I love it when a... talk plan comes together!"). In the climax at L.A's Port, all the containers have the prominently displayed crest of the Ruger Firearms Company.

The A-Team / int_f5e59782	comment	A Real Man Is a Killer: Lynch's incompetence is very much connected to his lack of experience in the field, and B.A.'s character arc is only complete when he kills again. Though in the case of the latter, it's less that he can't be a real man without killing, and more that it would be rather difficult for him to be a soldier. None of the others ever question his manhood, nor his valor or dedication.

The A-Team / int_fbb934	comment	Do a Barrel Roll: Murdock during both airborne Chase Scenes, in aircraft that really shouldn't be doing that. It should be noted that a Huey really can do that, but thereâ€™s no sane reason on Godâ€™s Green Earth why you would ever want to. But this is Murdock we're talking about. Also, a more literal example near the beginning, which ends with Face throwing up. More of a tire roll, really.

The A-Team / int_ffad4e9f	type	Shown Their Work
The A-Team / int_ffad4e9f	comment	Shown Their Work: The tank is, in fact, an M8 Buford light tank (though it was officially called an "Armored Gun System" as a bureaucratic counter to Congress saying "You already have a tanknote The Buford was meant to fill the Light Tank role for airborne troops and cavalry scouts, with the M1 Abrams as the Main Battle Tank for armored cavalry and heavy armor formations"), of which six were made before the project was canceled in 1997. It really is designed to be air-dropped. The subversion is that the Buford in the movie is equipped with Level III armor package, which in reality would have made the tank too heavy to be carried by the Hercules, let alone being air-dropped from it at high altitude. Technically the air-droppable baseline Level I can already protect it from machine gun fire of the Reaper drones, however.
