C'mon, cats, dig deeper. How about 1990's direct-to-video Captain America? This is a weird one, at least cast wise. First up, we got Matt Salinger as Cap. Yeah, that 'Salinger' kid, as in J.D.'s son. For a director we have Albert Pyun, whose only decent flick (but heavy on cheese) is THE SWORD AND THE SORCERER. Ned Beatty (Superman, Squeal Like A Piggy). So far, so 'good' (if a trifle weird). Now here's where it starts getting promising; Darren McGavin (A Christmas Story, Kolchak: The Night Stalker) as a General Fleming, who remembers Cap from his war days when he was played by an old Billy Mumy (Lost In Space). I mean, in the right hands, this could go places.
But they frack it all up. The Red Skull is Italian (which makes no sense continuity wise), Cap's ears are part of his mask (like, fake, latex rubber ears). The effects are Corman style shoestring. No Bucky. I've read Lawrence Block as co-writer (!?!). Can't be the same Block, no. Unless all his contributions were hacked and chopped.
Sux. Just like that Dolph Lundgren PUNISHER (ugh, no deaths head skull, riding his Harley in the sewers?). In fact, all the Punishers sucked.
Now if you cats wanna talk made-for-TV 70s you best pack a lunch and take a seat.
