A-Team

For those of you who are about my age or a little younger, the A-Team wasn't a show we watched. As I got older, I heard jokes and stories and wondered why people kept talking about Mr. T and not the shitty Rocky III. In honor of the new movie, here is a HwH A-Team breakdown. Let's hope this movie doesn't suck.

Background: Four honorable soldiers were framed for a crime they didn't commit. They were arrested and soon escaped. While on the run from the law, they became soldiers-for-hire. They travel around the country (and the world) helping people and trying to right the wrong that was done to them.

Characters:

Colonel John "Hannibal" Smith

Leader and Disguise Expert

John "Hannibal" Smith is shown to be an unflappable and sarcastic leader. He always has a plan, but they never turn out the way they're supposed to. He uses his many aliases to meet potential clients and make sure they're not the government. In the show, Smith played the monster in shitty movies. He had to play the monster so his face couldn't be seen. He is renowned for his cunning and his calm demeanor.

Templeton "Faceman" Peck

Con-Artist and Ladies Man

Face was the least aggressive member of the A-Team. He didn't like to fight. He'd rather con someone than beat them up. He was a fan of the ladies and they were of him. He drove a sweet red and white Corvette.

"Howling Mad" Murdock

Pilot and Clinically Insane

Murdock was the best helicopter pilot in the Vietnam War. He can fly anything and has no fear. Instead of prison, he was sent to a mental institution and labeled "clinically insane." It's never quite clear as to whether or not he is insane or just a great actor.

B.A. "Bad Attitude" Baracus

Mechanic and Muscle

B.A. is the outfit's mechanic and resident muscle. He is referred to as a mechanical genius. As the other A-Teamers use subtlety and coercion to solve problems, B.A. generally uses his fists.
