Was I the only one whose suspension of disbelief went on vacation after seeing a fighter jet shot down by the fifty cal of a free-falling tank?

C'mon they had drogue chutes deployed, makes _ALL_ the difference. ;)

You mean that's NOT a standard tactic??? :shock:

Well, I believe the tactic was first postulated by the training and procedures office of the short lived 102nd Airborne (Armored), the Fighting Meteors, but was abandoned after the first training jump with their full equipment (which happened to be M1 Abrams).

Watching a movie spin-off of a cheesy 80's TV show is like eating at McDonalds in Paris because it's familiar.

Starsky and Hutch? Charlie's Angels? What next? The Rockford files?

Honestly, has Hollywood complete run out of ideas?

Are the bad guy's vehicles going to get blown completely up and then have the scene cut back to show them all crawl out alive?

Remember, NO ONE gets killed on the A-Team!

What? you mean like this:
"...Looking ahead to the 2010-11 season, NBC announced seven drama pilots under development, including an updated version of "The Rockford Files" from "House" executive producer David Shore;..."

I try to look on the positive side. All of those good shows that never did as well as they should have will be given a second to chance to rise zombie-like from the grave.
I'm looking forward to the Firefly remake that'll release sometime in the 2030's.
