Cool
I just hope they make it a straight-up action film, and not a spoof.
I liked the original show, but like most things from my childhood it has probably aged horribly.
What a cast. My first thought when I saw that picture; "Is that really Rampage Jackson!"

Are you implying that the original was serious? I'm probably the only one here old enough to have found the original fun but completely lame and stupid at the same time.

What I meant was that Hollywood has a tendency to re-make campy TV programs and basically make fun of the show, like Starsky and Hutch or Bewitched. Everyone's aware they're in a movie based on an old TV show and they're basically winking at the audience the whole time.

Agree - which is why they were crap. I *still* don't get the need, even at their best they are lacking compared to the original ...
As for the trailer ... GO QUI-GON!
this movie looks like a pass
I would rather watch reruns. On the plus side It cant be any worse than Starsky and Hutch, Charlies Angels, GI Joe, Inspector Gadget,Bewitched, Get Smart, The Dukes of Hazard, Land of the Lost,or any other lame movie based on a tv show
lame.

Ditto.
I loved this show growing. Even named my bird after one of the characters.

Wow talk about bad idea jeans. A team stood out for me in the same way GI Joe stood out .... should have been cool/action/violent/funny
But in reality the action was campy and non violent, No one ever dies, Mr T throws dudes WWE style 10 feet in the air... and they land in a pile of hay or teddy bears.
Awful show that was watchable at the time because it was the 80s, compared to Webster and 227, A-Team was 'There Will Be Blood.'
But compared to any half decent film it was absolute rubbish. A lot like Knight Rider, re-used stock footage for stunts, horrid tropey plotlines and campy cheesball nonsense.
Maybe this film will be nothing like the show and be a good action movie? Anything is possible I suppose.
I'm personally holding out for a movie version of 1 Day at a Time w/ James Mcovy as Snyder
