Very low budget parody to ¨A Team¨ with a botcher and unfortunate band of antiheroes
ma-cortes16 October 2022
Fun but very silly ¨spoof¨ about a likable team who become clumsily awkward heroes for hire. Being an embarrassing and ridiculous parody to classic series : ¨A Team¨ created by Stephen J Cannell , Frank Lupo and John Ashley . In ¨El equipo Aahhgg (1989)¨shows up Coronel Aníbal : Antonio Ozores (who parodies A Team leader : Annibal Smith, George Peppard) as he disguises as a woman and a horse , Kimbo as M-30 ( like M. A. Baracus : Mr T), Máximo Valverde as Soldado Félix (like Félix Templeton Faceman : Dirk Benedict) and José Álvarez as Mudok (remembering "Howling Mad" Murdock , Dwight Schulz who was an expert but nutty pilot, and a certified lunatic) ,then they broke him out of a mental hospital. All of them are ex-members of a US Commando unit in the Vietnam War. Wanted by the police all over the world , they survive as soldiers of fortune. This time, they are going to help their old friend (Juanito Navarro) in his fight against another old colleague in NAM: ex-Sergeant Mulligan (Fedra Lorente) and her foreman (Daniel Martin) who are coercing to ex-Sergeant Mauriño to sell a horse from his stable .

Fun , entertainment , comedy and brief action with a bungling , inept team of ex-soldiers . It contains absurd situations , tongue-in-cheek , grotesque incidents and above all , humor . Although there are also bad-mouthed language , bad taste jokes and profanities . The disconcerting parody is continuous , hilarious , surrealist , absurd and being gross-out at times , but some moments here and there it is also amusing . This film is made to entertain , and this movie , especially for a good time and resulting to be a so-so entertainment . With an appropriate cast giving sympathetic interpretations , including dances and songs such as El Equipo Aag! Composed by Kimbo and José Truchado Jr . Humor , thrills , several agreeable characters and trademark Antonio Ozores effects abound and it will please the spoof lovers . There'are also some familiar faces appearing here and there , such as : Juanito Navarro of Mariano Ozores movies along with his brother Antonio Ozores , Fedra Lorente of 1, 2, 3 responda otra vez , Daniel Martín of several Paella Westerns , the famous playboy Maximo Valverde , Analía Ivars of Jess Frank films and the eternal , prolific secondary Rafael Hernández.

The motion picture was lousily directed by Jos Truchado . He was a B-actor , a second-class secondary who usually worked for director Jose Maria Zabalza in films as 20.000 dólares por un cadáver , Los rebeldes de Arizona , Plomo sobre Dallas , El regreso de Al Capone , Homicidios en Chicago , Tiempos de Chicago and other genre movies as La Batalla del Ultimo Panzer , El tesoro del capitán Tornado , La Esfinge de Cristal, El tesoro del capitán Tornado , Cover Girl , La carga de la policía montada , Marc Mato, agente S. 077 . And directing some often bad pictures , such as : Canción triste de... El equipo Aahhgg , Matad al buitre , Chicano , Eva, limpia como los chorros del oro , Haz la loca... no la guerra , Tarzán y el tesoro Kawana, Juventud drogada , some of them starred by John Ghaffari or Dum Dum Pacheco . Rating : 3.5/10 . Bottom of barrel.
