Old A-team in the new movie. Not so much hidden but half of the original A-team shows up in the 2010 movie. Dwight Schultz (80s Murdock) can be seen briefly as a scientist observing Murdock (Sharlto Copley) undergoing shock therapy. Dirk Benedict (80s Face) gets a pretty on-the-nose question from Face (Bradley Cooper) right before he steps into the tanning booth.

Nancy Loomis also from Halloween 1&2 plays a brief character of the ex-wife credited under her real name Nancy Kyes.
