The A-Team

Trivia: Just before Hannibal, Face and BA break Murdoch out of the hospital by driving the hummer through the wall, watch the credits rolling on the screen of the movie they are watching. Reginald Barclay is the character that Dwight Schultz (the original Murdoch) played on Star Trek: The Next Generation, and the 2nd name ends with "StarBuck", the character played by Dirk Benedict (the original Face man) on Battlestar Galactica. We also see "Thomas", with the surname obscured - likely "Thomas Banachek", a character played by George Peppard, the original Hannibal.

Trivia: B.A. Baracus's character in the film was seen with the tattoos "Pity" and "Fool" across his fingers before he punched the car garage workers. This was made in reference to Mr. T's (B.A. Baracus in the TV series) catchphrase "I pity the fool" from the film "Rocky 3".

Trivia: When Hannibal fakes his death, the doctor's name on the body tag is Dr Schultz, a reference to Dwight Schultz who played Murdock in the original series.

Trivia: During the "Greater Escape" opening scene in the German institution, one of the credits is "Thomas Banacek". This was a character name from a different TV show played by George Peppard, who also played "Hannibal Smith" in the original series.

Trivia: Director Joe Carnahan has a cameo as 'Mike,' who greets Hannibal Smith at the hospital.

Factual error: They are present at Frankfurt, Germany. But with a closer look you see a cathedral at the right side. This cathedral and the central station are located in Cologne, Germany - they are about 220 km apart. (01:04:15)

Question: Can a helicopter do barrel rolls and loop-de-loops like Murdock is doing after the A-team leaves the hospital and are being chased to the US border by Tuco?

Answer: They can, but only if they have a set of modified rotor blades to be able to do it. The Apache for one is able to do it. The Huey in the movie however is unlikely in reality to be able to do it - there would be no need to fit the modified rotors to what is essentially a transporter.
