Synopsis
A classic of 1980s television, THE A-TEAM follows the adventures of four Vietnam vets on the run from the U.S. military after being framed for "a crime they didn't commit." The group--consisting of leader John "Hannibal" Smith (George Peppard), con-man Templeton "Face" Peck (Dirk Benedict), tough-guy Bosco "B.A." Baracus (Mr. T), and lunatic H.M. "Howling Mad" Murdock (Dwight Schultz)--operates undercover as a mercenary unit for justice, helping those in need while blowing up almost every vehicle and building in their path. This release contains three humour and action-filled episodes: "The Taxicab Wars," "The Maltese Cow," and "Chopping Spree." Pity the poor fool who doesn't own this collection!

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome, 29 Mar 2004
By J. Humphreys "joe112" - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
The A-Team is so 1980’s that it’s rather funny to find it available on DVD. And yet this supposedly dated action series puts to shame much of the ‘good bad TV’ we’re told to enjoy these days (and I’m saying this as a 20 year old who was in nappies when the A-Team first hit our screens). The predictable plots, cartoon violence, winning theme tune and memorable catchphrases alone ensure its place in history. But what makes this program truly great are our eponymous heroes. We have John ‘Hannibal’ Smith chomping on cigars as long as his face, a cheesy grin plastered across his face. Templeton ‘Face’ Peck attracting the ladies with his rubbish chat up lines and poster boy coiffure. HM ‘Howlin’ Mad’ Murdock with his loveable eccentricities. And, of course, B.A. ‘Bad Attitude’ Baracus with reams of gold around his neck and a ‘sucker’ or ‘foo’ never far from his lips. They’re the perfect quartet.
Does this DVD capture similar perfection with its selection of episodes? Well…yes. It kicks off with arguably the best on the disc, ‘The Taxicab Wars’. It uses a standard A-Team plot, big business heavies attempting to muscle out the little guy, to great effect. Namely, because it’s a taxi firm they’re dealing with, there is the perfect excuse for car chases galore. B.A. and Murdock in particular shine in their roles as cab drivers, and their banter over Murdock’s sock puppet is a joy to behold. Face takes an adolescent approach to attracting the Lone Star Taxi companies’ resident female and Hannibal pulls off unconvincing disguise no.23 with aplomb.
‘The Maltese Cow’ is probably the weakest episode here – but it’s still fantastic! Again, it’s to the rescue of a downtrodden type, this time the owner of a Chinatown restaurant, who is being bullied by a gangster-style protection racket. The title refers to Dashiell Hammett’s classic novel, whilst Murdock impersonates Raymond Chandler’s famous creation, Philip Marlowe, throughout. It may seem rather audacious for this B-TV series to be associating itself with hard-boiled American Crime Fiction! But some entertaining chopsocky and a (literally) firework climax (discounting the mandatory B.A. vs. Hannibal bit) are what’s REALLY important. Plus Hannibal utters his immortal catchphrase in a highly original manner.
‘Chopping Spree’ is a surefire crowd pleaser, because it sees B.A.’s beloved van get stolen, making him a ‘very angry individual’ as the blurb puts it. As he’s vaguely bothered on a permanent basis, it’s rather obvious much fun is to be had for the viewer! Not even the irksome Tawina Baker (token female A-Team member, who replaced the far superior Amy Allen) can detract from our enjoyment of the hysterically ridiculous plot (cars stolen so they can be chopped up, hence the title) and the performances of the four leads – particularly that of B.A.!
Yes it’s right wing, yes the writers clearly follow the same template each episode and yes the characters are one-dimensional. But who cares! This is pure, thrilling, undemanding entertainment. Get this and see why the A-Team is so fondly remembered.

5.0 out of 5 stars As brilliant as I remembered as a kid, 24 April 2001
By A Customer
I brought this DVD thinking "I hope its not bad" I was amazed at how good it is. The DVD is presented excellently and the episodes are of the highest quality. Watching the A team in DVD quality is a bit strange at first (I used to watch it on a portable TV!) Verdict : Totally excellent if you watched the A Team when u were young u will still love it!

PS: Murdoc is very very funny

I hope the makers bring out more DVDs like this.

4.0 out of 5 stars It really is good. fool., 26 Sep 2001
By E. PARRY (UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
I watched this at a friends house, we were having a small party and we ended up watching this. At first I thought it was just for a laugh and it wouldn't be that good, in the same way that everyone talks about how great things like Knightrider are in a kind of studenty ironic way but really they're boring to watch. But when we watched it I realised it actually is really good fun. When it's deliberately funny, it works, and when it's cheesy it's still funny, but not in a cringe-worthy way. And of course there's the classic cast of characters, but I don't need to go into that. My favorite episode off this DVD has to be the one where BA's van is stolen! Especially because of the potplant which is hilarious (that's not a drug reference by the way, which is another good thing about the a-team, it's good clean fun you can show to your mother).
My only dissapointment is that Colonel Decker isn't on this video ('you're mine smith!'), but he didn't come in until quite late in the series.
