The biggest problem with the A-teams nemesis on the show was their choice of mobile armor. The dreaded AMC Matador 4 door was not known for its performance or mission readiness.

Although the impressive amount of body roll during the chase scenes was amusing.

The A-Team drove a GMC Van, the MPs drove a POS AMC sedan

In 1972, a crack commando unit was sent to prison by a military court for a crime they didn't commit. These men promptly escaped from a 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.


"The A-Team van, as mentioned in the credits, is made by GMC truck. That
model is simply called a "G-Series" van. They come in G-15 (half ton), G-25
(3/4 ton), and G-35 (one ton) configurations. Typically for a passenger use
van, such as B.A.'s, a G-15 is used. Since that body style was introduced
around 1974, and is still available today, it is difficult to judge the year
of the vehicle. I would suspect that the first van (Keep in mind that they
destroyed many vans during all of the stunts) was a new van when the show
first came on, so that would make it a 1983."

License plates on BA's van: 2L83000 2E14859


:)

COLONEL LYNCH (played by William Lucking)
Was in charge of Fort Bragg when TAT first escaped in '72 and has been
searching for them ever since (at least until the episode "The Only Church in
Town" - the last time he is mentioned being in pursuit of the Team, although
his last on-screen appearance until later on would be the 1st season finale "A
Nice Place to Visit.")

COLONEL RODERICK DECKER (played by Lance LeGault)
First appeared in the second season episode "When You Comin' Back Range
Rider?" Supposedly carried a grudge against the Team - especially Smith -
since Vietnam. Would be the primary MP "Bad Guy" until the episode "Mind
Games" in the 4th season, although Colonel Lynch was given a second chance in
the 3rd season episode "Showdown!" and Colonel Briggs was introduced in the
3rd season episode "Fire!"

CAPTAIN CRANE (played by Carl Franklin)
Colonel Decker's ever-present, trusty side-kick.

COLONEL BRIGGS (played by Charles Napier)
Only appeared in one episode, "Fire!" before mysteriously disappearing as
mysteriously as he was introduced. No idea about what happened there, unless
the producers were just trying out someone new and realized after only one
episode that the character didn't work.

GENERAL HARLAN "BULL" FULBRIGHT (played by Jack Ging)
Would be the primary bad guy for the fourth season, starting with "Mind
Games." Claimed to have been good friends with Samuel/Steve Morrison, the
Team's CO ("Sound of Thunder"). Had an Amer-asian daughter in Vietnam, named
Tia, that he did not know about until he hired the Team to track her down
("Sound of Thunder" again.) He was killed during this mission, after saving
his daughter, and not before changing his mind about the Team's guilt.

GENERAL HUNT STOCKWELL (played by Robert Vaughn)
A bit of a mystery man, Stockwell in effect "tricked" the Team into working
for him - after setting them up to go on trial for the Hanoi bank job and
Morrison's Murder - in exchange for a pardon. He wasn't exactly government or
CIA, claiming to work "inside" the system. In one episode ("The Say UNCLE
Affair") it was revealed he had a past associate named Ivan (played, of
course, by David McCallum), showing that his history in shady business went
way back.

In a side note, there is an actual John STOCKWELL, who (as of 1987 at least)
was the highest-ranking CIA official ever to leave the agency and go public.
He wrote a book on his experiences called "In Search of Enemies." I have no
idea if there is any connection between this man and the character Hunt
Stockwell, but I thought it was worth mentioning.

CARLA (Last name unknown) (played by Judith Ledford)
Stockwell's ever-present associate and assistant. What their relationship is
and anything more than her first name remains a mystery to this day.
Generally not given much to do beyond saying, "Here are the files, sir."

I was just thinking about the A-Team this morning...

Can anyone tell me the plot for the last episode??

Did they get captured and escaped again??

I remember something about a firing squad...

daikatana could. the a-team would get frustrated and kill the AI character, which would end the level so the a-team would lose.

NO! Except...


Well, Red Dawn, infuriurated by Face's constant verbal nef, might lose it and plow straight through him, scream Hannibal into intimidated brokenness, set up Murdock and GF in a C-S game, which GF would dominate, and as a result of all this, earn BA's eternal respect.

Other than that, NO!

Oh, and Murdock rocks!
