Director Joe Carnahan resurrects the popular 1980s-era action series with this explosive reboot following the adventures of four Iraq War veterans who begin a second career as mercenaries for hire. Col. John "Hannibal" Smith (Liam Neeson), Templeton "Face" Peck (Bradley Cooper), B.A. Baracus (Quinton "Rampage" Jackson), and H.M. "Howlin' Mad" Murdock (Sharlto Copley) are a group of former Special Forces operatives who have been fighting the good fight for eight years when they're sentenced to military prison for a crime they didn't commit. Breaking out with relative ease, they embark on a treacherous quest to clear their names while being hunted across the globe by Charissa Sosa (Jessica Biel), a high-ranking military officer and one of Face's many former lovers. Meanwhile, mysterious CIA operative Lynch (Patrick Wilson) offers tips that help point the federal fugitives in the right direction, which seems to lead straight to former military contractor Pike (Brian Bloom), who may have been responsible for setting them up in the first place. Just when it seems that the A-Team has all the evidence needed to prove their innocence, however, they discover that their latest mission is just getting started. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

This sequel to the notorious x-rated parody of the 1930s serial is even more sophomoric than the first, and that is saying a lot. It is also considerably less racy than the first and was released in the US with an R rating. On the other hand, the film does contain many vulgar references to bodily functions and various orifices. This time the adventure begins when Flesh is kidnapped by the title pom-pom girls, Babs, Sushi, and Candy Love. They take him to Robunda Hooters, their leader, who pleads with Flesh to help them combat the impotence radiation ray that has been destroying their pleasure. Soon Flesh's girl friend Dale Ardor and pal Dr. Flexi Jerkoff show up to help them travel to the neighboring Ice Planet from which the demoralizing ray emanates. They get there just before the Evil Presence and his assistant Master Bates are preparing to turn the ray on the Earth. When Presence sees Flesh, he immediately covets the hero's generous endowments and vows to get them for himself. He has Bates kidnap Dale. When Flesh and friends go to save her, things really begin to heat up. ~ Sandra Brennan, Rovi
