I last heard ice cube was in the works, though not confirmed yet.

The one thing I would want to see remade, though it was the 70's I believe, is force Five. Todays MA names would fit great and the action/fight scenes could be awesome.

The last rumor I read said that Ice T wants the role. He said that he plans on going with the mohawk.

He would make a decent Mr. T. He has the charisma anyway. LOL That being said, it isn't likely I will be running to the theater to watch it. For me, I just wait until the movies come out DVD, most of the time.

I used to watch A-Team and Knight Rider when I was a kid, but now I just don't get into that stuff. TV just isn't the same anymore, so I spend nearly all of my TV time (which isn't much) watching news, Discovery, History, Military, and Science channels. If I want comic relief, I will watch a few episodes of Family Guy.

I can't understand why they'd want to remake something that was practically perfect for it's time (other than giving a very false impression of the consequences of violence). Getting a cast that would gell (on-screen) so well will be very difficult.

That said, a series I really would love to see done with a modern special-effects crew is Space 1999 - that was incredible when I watched as a youngster and then I made the mistake of watching some re-runs on satellite ... oh how I rued ruining my memories :(.

No.:)

I have Proof:


And even if Blue Thunder COULD win, Airwolf STILL had the kickassest 80's theme music of any hero/vehicle show EVER. That combination of synth backdrop and military horns even 20 years later STILL gives me the Chills Of Awesomeness(TM)

Just hearin' it again I think I just made a Blue Thunder in my pants :p

Infact....yes there is....It is now selectable music on my myspace playlist. HOOah.

My missus would agree with you there, Andy - she has the habit of switching to the current re-runs of Airwold on Sky, listening to the theme music and then changing channels :grr:. :D.

Plus ... there's a video about this !?! :faints:. Too late to watch it through now as, yet again, MT has me up until 2:30 in the morning. I shall 'favourite' it and watch it tomorrow.

Have you seen those A-Team Tees for sale?
"Thousand of bullets fired, Zero Fatalities"

I agree Airwolf rocked. I really can't watch any of those shows anymore though. We really were into some cheesy stuff.

I also hear they are going to do a Voltron movie using the CGI technology they used for Transformers. Whatcha think about that one?

I think that an A Team movie would be great. They could get like Samual L. Jackson or MMAtist "Rampagge" Jackson to play B.A. Baracus(sp?). For "Faceman" they could get Leonardo DeCaprio since he's a pretty boy or Brad Pitt. For John "Hanibal" Smith I think maybe Steven Seagal could play that part. As for the crazy Murdock charactor I think that could be played by Colin Farrell. That would be my A Team cast. They wouldn't neccessarly be vietnam vets, they could have been Gulf War vets turned mercenary for hire (if you can afford them).
