Некоторые факты об A-Team :)

[Kupochka]

Мы давеча с ёльфом обсуждали, сколько же вэнов раздолбали на съёмках А-команды.
Я нашёл ответ на этот вопрос, точнее почти ответ
Дирк Бенедикт (играл Faceman'a) не помнит, сколько их было. По его словам у студии точно было 5 одинаковых вэнов (на самом деле 6), но сколько из них разбили он не помнит. Вообще каждую неделю съёмок они били в среднем три машины, преимущественно джипы ранглеры и прочие машины bad guys ("плохих парней").

Особенно Дирк меня порадовал шуткой в стиле своего героя:
- Сколько машин мы разбили? Ребята, я не помню даже со сколькими девочками я целовался!

Ещё выяснилось, что они с Джорджем Пеппардом (Hannibal) устраивали гонки, но Дирк всегда проигрывал, потому что его порш был медленнее

Вот спрашивается, какое мне до всего этого дело? А вот есть
Ну люблю я их, что тут скажешь

25 лет спустя Дирк (Faceman) и Дуайт (H.M. Murdock) продолжают оставаться друзьями и близко общаться в реальной жизни
Дуайт в интервью называет Дирка своим лучшим другом. А тот в свою очередь говорит "You know I love you"
Я умилялся, когда на интервью они называли друг друга Darling (дорогой) копируя интонации и поведение своих героев 25-ти летней давности!



Интервью целиком и др. факты:




Video-chat with Dirk Benedict and Dwight Shultz - www.youtube.com/watch?v=7sR0Csnp9OQ


Van is - 1983 GMC G-series. The show used six different vans to portray BA's ride during the run of the show, two of which were owned by the producer. One of them now sits abandoned on the Universal Studios lot, while another resides at the 'Cars of the Stars Museum' in the UK.

The gold that was worn by Mr. T during filming varied in weight, usually between 35 and 40 pounds (15-18 kg)

In the opening credits, Lieutenant Templeton "The Faceman" Peck (played by actor Dirk Benedict) is seen reacting to a metallic Cylon warrior who walks past. This is an ironic reference to Benedict's 1978 cult sci-fi television series, ‘Battlestar Galactica’. He played heart-throb Lieutenant Starbuck in the show, and the Cylons were his nemesis.

In the very first A-Team episode, ‘Mexican Slayride’, the audience learns a lot about Chopper pilot Captain H.M. Murdock. The show opener reveals that ‘Howling Mad’ Murdock lost his mother when he was five, was diagnosed with intermittent memory loss and paranoid delusions, and served with the Thunderbirds (the Air Demonstration Squadron of the U.S. Air Force) before the Vietnam War.

The remaining cast members have not made it a secret that Mr. T and George Peppard did not get along very well on the set. Arguments were fed by the fact that Mr. T became the real star of the show, despite Peppard's being a 'proper movie actor'. Things got even worse when Peppard learned that Mr. T was paid more than he was.

George Peppard and Mr T were the big names to start with in The A-Team and this showed off screen as toward the end of the shows life George Peppard refused to work beyond 5:30. When Mr T herd about this he also refused to work beyond this time which only left Dirk Benedict and Dwight Schultz working late into the evening to make up the shots. This is why in later episodes you will see a lot of scenes with just Dirk and Dwight.

Dwight Schultz was almost fired after the pilot episode. TV executives and show producers felt that Dwight was over the top and too much for the audience. Thankfully the audience who sat in on a test screening loved Dwight’s performance saved him from the axe.

Dirk Benedict's quotes
On the A-Team: "I enjoyed it immensely. By nature I'm terribly serious, so as an actor I tend to want to be silly. It was a comedic show, almost like a cartoon. We just had to hang on to enough reality to make it possible for adults to watch it. The actors I worked with, especially Mr T and Dwight Schultz were very funny people. It was pretty much four years of laughter."
On making the A-Team: "The problem is that the people who created the show had no idea what it was. They didn't understand what the show was because it became something other than what they intended. The network hated us; the people in authority were like the military in the show, trying to control us. We took control of it. We made it much funnier than it was, and we made it much more politically incorrect than it was intended to be. All the liberals in Hollywood hated it; they hated the cigars, the guns, the bravado and the fact we always thought we were right."

According to Stephen J. Cannell, the creator and producer of the series, the show was canceled because it was becoming too expensive to produce.

Одна серия А-команды снималась в среднем около недели.


Ещё о поцелуях:
Вопрос - делали ли вы какие-то трюки сами?
Дуайт - некоторые. По соображениям безопасности нам не позволяли делать трюков с переворачивающимися машинами и т.п.
Дирк *машет кулачками* - зато все драки мы делали сами!
Дуайт *подтверждает*.
Дирк *добавляет* - и ещё все эти любовные сцены. Все сцены с поцелуями я делал сам. И знаете, это было трюками, поверьте!

@темы: A-Team, А-Команда, фанатское счастье, Ссылки
