  Not one of the better A-Team episodes hide show

  I did like the scene with Murdock and the horses. Murdock was my favorite character in this series. And what can you say about the work they did with Amy's Le Car. I bet that hurt the gas mileage on it amoung other things. Maybe they ought to take a little more money to get Amy a new car.

  Do you agree?

• In the second tractor-trailer truck, B.A., Amy, and Ellen drive past a sign for U.S. 16 South. U.S. 16 is actually an east-west highway in Wyoming and South Dakota. [edit]
• Goof: When Easterland calls his guys for backup, he says, "Milt, they're coming south, and they mean business. You boys get down here and give us a hand." That would mean that the backup is coming from the northern roadblock, and that B.A. is headed north in the second tractor-trailer truck. That would be consistent with Face's discovery that watermelons are selling for 43 cents more per bushel in 'Frisco.
  
  However, when Easterland discovers Hannibal's ploy, he tells his men, "They're heading south. I pulled that roadblock." [edit]
• The ambulance that rushes Penhall to the hospital after his tractor-trailer crash passes by a building that has a CLMG logo on the side. That building is located at 2222 Ocean View Avenue in Los Angeles (and CLMG still has a lab there). [edit]

• Stuart Whitman was billed as Special Guest Star in this episode. [edit]

• Hannibal: Murdock, B.A. take the right. Face, stay with me.
  Face: Ahh, Hannibal, if we're gonna fight, I'd really prefer to be teamed with B.A.
  Murdock: Me too.
  Hannibal: Are you guys saying you don't wanna team up with me? Face: Yes.
  Murdock: Yes.
  Hannibal: Why?
  B.A.: I'll tell you why. Because when you're on the jazz, man, you're dangerous! [edit]
• Ellen: Who are you?
  B.A.: I'm B.A. Baracus, and I'm here to pick up your crops! [edit]
• Ellen: This whole plan sounded ridiculous from the start; I should have known it wouldn't work out right.
  Amy: Hannibal's plans never work right. They just work. [edit]

• While in the tractor-trailer caravan, Murdock grabs the walkie-talkie and begins narrating an imaginary race in which he mentions "Alydar."
  Alydar was a successful racehorse in the late 1970s, though he is perhaps most famous for coming in second to Affirmed in all three races of the 1978 Triple Crown. [edit]
• Before climbing into one of the tractor-trailer trucks, Murdock does a John Wayne impression: "All right. Head 'em up and move 'em out." [edit]
