As someone who fondly remembers the 1980s, I was excited to see "The A-Team" revived for the big screen in 2010. Obviously nobody could exactly replace the original Hannibal, Face, B.A. and Murdock, but the new actors were fine and it kept me out of trouble for close to two hours, so it was worth the trip to the theater.
Liam Neeson had perhaps the toughest job replacing George Peppard in the Hannibal Smith role, but one thing I noticed is that they gave him a key prop -- cigars. Peppard's Smith was always chomping on a stogie when he said "I love it when a plan comes together," and Neeson got the same treatment.
That involved a little sacrifice on Neeson's part, as he started the movie as an ex-smoker who soon found he had to quit all over again. Since the movie was filmed in Canada, he smoked Cubans (though some Padron cigars, like the Padron Family Reserve No. 45 Maduro Toros, would have fit the bill nicely had they filmed it in the States).
Now, Neeson says he wants any sequel to show the stars with nicotine patches instead of cigars. Good luck with that. Guess he won't be joining the Thompson cigar club anytime soon.
