International airings of The A-Team

[edit] Language differences

In the Italian dubbed version, Baracus' initials are "P. E.", for "Pessimo Elemento" ("Awful element"). They were chosen because of dubbing reasons (phonetically, the Italian "e" is pronounced like the English "a", therefore the lip movements are similar) and in order to have something of an equivalent to "Bad Attitude". Hannibal's signature phrase is translated as "Adoro i piani ben riusciti".
In the French dubbed version, B.A. Baracus is called "Barracuda", Face is "Futé" ("Smart Guy"), and Murdock is "Looping". Hannibal's signature phrase is translated as "J'adore quand un plan se déroule sans accroc" and has become some kind of a catchphrase in France.
In the German dubbed version, Hannibal's signature phrase is translated as "Ich liebe es, wenn ein Plan funktioniert".
In the Spanish dubbed version, B.A. Baracus is named M. A. Barracus, the "M. A." for "Mala Actitud" ("Bad Attitude"); and Face is "Fénix" (Phoenix). This nick was chosen just because its sounds similar to "face", so the lipsync made a better match when dubbing the voices.
In Latin American dubbed version B.A. is called "Mario Baracus" and Face is called "Fas," short for "fascinater." as stated in the pilot episode
In the Japanese dubbed version, B.A. Baracus is called "Kongu" as in "King Kong" and Murdock "Kureijii Monkii", for English "Crazy Monkey".
