Your comment made me remember this movie I saw back in the day: Subway (Metro) movie.

Bruce Lee movies? Or A-Team?

IIRC he was one of Bruce’s students and was in Enter the Dragon. My OP implied that he was in many of Bruce’s movies but in retrospect that was wrong.

Obligatory. Well, maybe not obligatory…

Jean-Pierre Bacri as Inspector Batman

what now ?

I haven’t seen every episode, but I’m reasonably sure that each includes at least one car flipping over.
Car violently crashes, flipping completely over and sliding 100 feet, roof sparking along the road before it slams to a halt against a building
“Whoa, man, what a crash! You okay, Steve?”
“Yeah, I’m okay.”

It was like a grown-up version of the G.I. Joe cartoon. I’m surprised Sgt. Slaughter became a Joe rather than Mr. T. Then again, he had a whole cartoon to himself.

Uh, you watch the movie? :grin:

In the French dubbed version of the shows, aired there, the theme song HAS WORDS.

My ex wife sang it to me, my mind was blown.

Can we get a translation?

Does it go:

“This is the team! The AAAAA-Team!
This the team of Freeeeeedom!”

Who wants to do the next part?

Mine was where they were imprisoned in a barn on a farm, and BA put together some sort of cannon. That fired cabbages.

It’s a little-known fact that cabbage cannons outmatch all firearms and most light artillery. It’s a mystery that they’ve not seen wider military application.

Ah, yes, the sequence in every A-Team episode where the production’s second unit films stand ins constructing the curiously non-lethal explosive and/or bullet firing booby traps of the week - much welding ensues.

Was that also the one where BA was like “I ain’t gettin on no plane,” so they had to knock him out in a humorous manner? When he woke up he was really mad - “What am I doin’ in Mexico? You guys put me on a plane, didn’t you?”

I dunno, I think they may have had to break Murdoch out of a psychiatric hospital first. Does that help?

Right. He needs to be involuntarily committed because he has that mental disorder that causes you to constantly be doing celebrity impersonations and making goofy faces. Tragic.

I’m pretty sure it is largely responsible for my interest in metalworking. Some part of my mind remains convinced that all problems can be solved with welding.
