Fridge Brilliance

• The destruction of B.A.'s iconic van at the beginning of the film was sad, but it made it easier for the Team to remain inconspicuous.
• Why did the military (it isn't clear whether it's the Air Force or the Army due to uniform fail) launch RQ-9s to shoot down the C-130? Because the plane they'd stolen carried a fully-loaded/armed light tank. Why not manned planes? Murdock broke the canopies of the fighters during takeoff.
• Pike has several chances to kill Face and B.A., but he takes his time and gloats, missing each. This would seem to come into conflict with his disgust at the unprofessional manner in which Lynch's men go about trying to kill him...until you remember Hannibal once called him a 'cartoon character'- everything Pike does, he does it to satisfy his adrenaline rush, and as soon as he gets into a good firing position, he abandons all pretense of finesse and proceeds to unleash the heaviest firepower at his disposal (he is already going guns-blazing minutes after the A-Team snatched Morrison in Berlin, seemingly oblivious to the fact that he is doing so in the middle of a populated area or that he is about to surrounded by the police from all sides). Seems about right that he'd suddenly start monologuing as soon as he had the hero in his gunsights.
• Murdock's quote from Braveheart is an eerily apt description of the situation the Team eventually finds itself in.
• How did Face sneak the cuffs key into the paddy wagon at the end of the movie? It probably wasn't just a tongue that Chris gave him moments before when they were making out.
  • That was pretty much obvious since he has the key in his mouth.

Fridge Logic

• Technically, Face didn't actually escape. His tanning booth was stolen by Hannibal with him locked inside it, so would he wind up with the same type of punishment as the rest of the guys?
  • He didn't go back, so yes, yes he will.
• Hannibal dyes his hair from white to dark brown in order to get through the airport. In the next scene, it's back to white again. So he actually took the time to dye it back?
  • It's possible he used temporary, one-wash dye that would wash out when he took a shower, but that still makes one wonder when he found time to take a shower.
  • Him dying his hair and wearing different clothes was enough to fool airport security that he was not Hannibal. Maybe he un-dyed his hair in case Lynch got fooled, too, and wondered what the heck Liam Neeson was doing there.
• When Hannibal fakes his death, why did they send him to the crematorium with his clothes on? (Aside from the fact that it would have been hard to keep that from kicking the rating up a notch otherwise, anyway.)
