Mr Perry, apparently from the State Department (but most probably CIA, actually): "I am THE TOP, Colonel. And if you don`t want to spend the rest of your commission in a concrete in Utah, packing parachutes, then you will get in line here!"

[@MarcillaSmith]

Yeah, in the Army, we lived in constant fear that after a routine hot pursuit off base, destroying municipal infrastructure, that we'd return to the unit with a group of homeless vets we picked up, only to have a bureaucrat from the State Department show up, bust us down two ranks on the spot, and then threaten to change our branch to quartermaster.

[@binsurf]

I grew up with these guys on my TV. Their vigilantism was inspiring. Helping those in need and always succeeding, regardless of the villian's efforts. Their unconventional methods of dealing with some of them were truly inspired. Cheap chase scenes aside, there was a deep story to these guys. Their methods, unfortunately, would not work well in the current political and social atmosphere. Still, I sometimes wish there was someone like them we could call when there was no other way. As an aside, it concerns me that the US Army would have recruited a visibly mentally disturbed individual like Murdock as a chopper pilot. Doesn't bode well for confidence. :D

[@Watcher3223]

Well, it was a television series from the 80s, meaning that the budget and time are limited and there's little time and budget for re-shoots, especially if you're filming stunts. And it was all shot on 35mm stock instead of digital ... and of course, digital cinematography wasn't a thing in the 80s ... adding to the budget and time constraints. If there's a problem with some of the footage, you work around it as best as you can in post, even if doing so meant overlooking glaring errors, such as continuity. So long as the problem isn't so big that it prevents you from making a story out of it, then it can work, especially in the context of a fun television show that didn't take itself too seriously.
