The A-Team (TV Series) The Island (1984) User Reviews

Mad Max vibe

[Leofwine_draca · 6/10 · 18 May 2018]

THE ISLAND is an amusing episode of the show with that big '80s excess feel to it. The setting is a lush island which has been invaded by thugs who turn up to terrorise the local populace. Before long the boys are called in to sort things out. This bright, sunny story has a real MAD MAX feel to it in the over the top nature of the villains and their leather costumes and the appearance of PREDATOR hard-man Sonny Landham doesn't hurt a bit.

Silly one

Decker and team have never looked so inept, having superior firepower but still allowing the team to escape and even take the young boy out of their hands. The villain is straight out of a bad van Damme movie with his Mad Max gauntlet. Hannibal shadows the two main guys from a foot away then smokes a cigar from the other side of a wall. The ep is set on the island but then BA asks Murdock 'so you did get me here on a plane?! Nice to see Sonny Landham though.

Again

One of my favourite episodes ever. I like the bit where the car flipped over

The boat is here!

The episode opens with a kid on the island yelling "The boat is here!", like Hervé Villechaize yelled during the opening of Fantasy Island.
