a few good clips

A plan is coming together

Marie Osmond faints: I could watch this clip over and over. If there were more random fainting in reality TV, I'd actually watch it. The best part is when her dancer partner didn't catch her. Not being a Osmond fan of any kind, I have to say that she handled herself pretty well afterwards.

Some of the Funniest deaths ever in movies: There some 'classic' 80s clips in here. “Let off some steam.”

The A-Team intro: Brings back memories. This was the time when you could edit together hundreds of action clips for no reason and put on a bland Mike Post main theme behind the footage. Throw in title cards for the actors, smirking of course. Then you can call it the opening credits. This was probably one of the things that revealed that the quality of TV was lower than movies at the time.

Side Note: I love the Dirk Benedict joke with his reaction to a Cylon walking by, given he spent one season fighting them on Battlestar Galactica. Nice little joke.

The A-Team was just kick ass!
They play the old A-Team stuff on the Sleuth Channel on cable sometimes. I like them still but sometimes the episodes are hard to watch due to the old and dated film quality. If someone remixed and digitally remastered the footage i'd be on an A-Team Marathon in a heartbeat!!
It's one of the most famous Intro songs known. Seriously. hum a few bars in an elevator or something and people will smile !

Agreed, it was certain a live cartoon show, where very few people got killed.

I can see a remastered version happening some time. I wonder if that A-team movie will ever get off the ground.
