The A Team
"Ten years ago, a crank commando unit was sent to prison by a military court for a
crime they didn't commit. These men promptly escaped from maximum
security stockade to the Los Angeles underground. Today still wanted by
the government, they survive as soldiers of fortune. If you have a
problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them, maybe you can
hire The A Team..."
This says everything
about the show. Hannibal, B.A., Murdock and Face formed The A Team, a
group of mercenaries wanted by the military police. They were contacted by
those who had a problem (and money) through a Chinese laundry, and after
they check if it wasn't an ambush (normally this was checked by Hannibal on
one of his disguises) they fixed the problem. Most of the time this involved
messing up with the crime boss of small towns, or the greedy business
man who wanted to destroy the competition (the good guys).
Hannibal, the oldest member of The A Team (George Peppard died a few years
ago) was also the leader, and an expert on disguises. He planned all the
missions, and had always a backup plan. Check out the Audio Gallery for
"I love it when a plan comes
together".
B.A. was the "muscle man". Nobody
could beat him on a body-to-body fight! He was also the driver, since
their van was his property. He preferred milk as a drink (for astonishment
of the bar attendants) and he was afraid of flying (this caused a lot of
problems when the mission was in the other side of U.S.A.: they had to put
him to sleep and hang on when he awaked).
Face, was the scammer,
he get anything the team needed, mainly if a woman was between him and
what he needed. He had a Corvette which refused to use in the mission (hey,
the car could get scratched out!?!).
The last member of The A Team, Murdock, was
the crazy guy. The court found him insane and sent him to a psychiatric
hospital. When a mission came out, the other members helped him escaping the
compound, however he returned to the hospital after that. He had a bad
relationship with B.A. (check out the Audio Gallery for
"Shut up fool" and
"I think that big angry guy is getting
worse"), mainly when when his friend sock was
present.
Check out The A Team video gallery to remember how Murdock carried a plane with him, some of
the fights he had with B.A. and much more, and the pictures gallery to see the most important characters
that appeared in the show.
