I don't recall the TV series being the pinnacle of realism either ;)

Well, the did get it right with the inaccuracy of the Mini-14's!  That's probably why nobody ever died in the TV show!   :lol

Whoa, people actually go to movies expecting realism?  Hehe.  Not me!  I lubs a good farce.  Gimme, gimme!

I get enough reality everyday.  A little distraction is good for the Skuz.

Or because the good guys deliberately missed, and the bad guys all had a degree from The Imperial Stormtrooper School of Marksmanship.   :noid

Depends on the film, one like Pearl Harbor I would hope Idiotwood would do a decent job in recreating the events of one worst attacks in US history. Other films I know not to expect to much and just take it like it is.

Skuzzy I don't expect realism to much, however, there is a point when the stupidness in a move reaches a level where I cannot bare it anymore. I will bump up my rating of the movie to an 8/10 though after seeing a few clips of the show. Apparently the movie does stay in line with the rest of the show and thus deserves a better rating.  :D

Oh and yes, there are plenty of scenes of cars being hit by 1 bullet and flipping into the air.  :rofl

True!

Maybe they were trying to shoot around them, like you would do at a fair, shooting around the red star with the toy Thomson BB guns and winning a prize.  :)

In the TV show the A-Team was really lucky to be chased by a group of government agents that were even crappier shots than they were.

best parts of the series include

after seeing the bad guys car flip, roll and slide in the same old manner, you always had to cut to a shot of them exiting the wreck shaking their heads

someone always getting thrown over the top of the cameraman.

always trapped in a room with oxy-acetylene torches, scrap metal, some kind of broken vehicle and a sprung bed frame

good times

lol so true! :D

The series had other kinds of surrealism. Over the top Hollywood action silliness can be a lot of fun if the movie itself does not take it too seriously. I did not see the film.

Just more proof that simulation game players will whine about anything just because it isn't 100% perfect.
