Comments:

I remember to see the A team in the only television station when i was a kid. The actions were great and since i always love to watch movie so mostly i watched the series. I can tell the remake is even better. I love to see Liam Neeson, Bradly Cooper, and even Sharlto Copley as Hannibal, Face, and Murdock. Buuuut, to see B.A. got enlightenment seem weird he he, i mean B.A? Enlightenment? You must be kidding. But overall, it's a great movie. The actions part was cool, the story line was exciting. Love it ^_^

Fun facts:
  • When B.A. meets Hannibal, he says he was a member of the 4th Ranger Battalion. There are currently only 3 Battalions in the 75th Ranger Regiment. The 4th, 5th, & 6th Battalions were formed during and disbanded at the end of World War II.
  • Pike is arrested in Frankfurt and interrogated in a building identified as the Embassy of the United States which is actually located in Berlin. The Consulate General of the United States is located in Frankfurt.
  • In the scene where Hannibal is being cremated: bodies are always put into some sort of container. Bodies are never placed "loose" in the chamber.
  • The A-Team's "retrieval" of the plates and the Arab are supposed to be in Germany. However, you can very clearly see Vancouver's Sears Tower outside of the office that the events happen in
  • When Hannibal fakes his death, the doctor's name on the tag is Dr Schultz, a reference to Dwight Schultz who portrayed Murdoch in the original series
