Captain America: Winter Soldier takes a potshot on this movie when Cap and Black Widow steal a car. Natasha says "So, the great Captain America is now stealing cars, huh?"
Couple things about this movie from someone who has seen it waaaay too many times. 1. Red Skull was trying to cut Captain America’s arm but Cap pulls Red Skull towards him which caused him to miss. 2. The ears on the costume were fake, because Matt Salinger’s actual ears kept being chaffed by the holes in the costume. 3. They ran out of money while shooting it because Menahem Golan’s company was going bankrupt. Albert Pyunn once told a story about how they didn’t have any film in the camera and he had to fake shooting for the day so the movie wouldn’t shut down. 4. It was supposed to come out in theaters but the company that was releasing it was not happy with the quality of it so they dumped it to video two years later.There were teaser posters of Cap’s shield that made it to theaters though which are pretty hard to find today.
With number 4, I don't blame them. If the film is that bad, it'll lose money sending it to cinemas, so they'd lose even more, VHS sales are pretty much the only way to claw back some of the costs.
So it didn't come out in cinemas in the US? Because I remember watching this in cinemas in Malaysia when I was a kid 🤔 It was many years after that I saw it again on TV. Hmmmm.... gonna have to check with Google on this, maybe my memory is bad, I am old lol
According to IMDB, Ronny Cox (whom until right now I believed to be dead) said in an interview this movie had the best script he'd seen... but they fucked up royally.
@@JasonBrant I've heard that they originally had a much bigger budget, but it was cut massively. They had Dolph Lundgren & Val Kilmer in consideration. Also that Marvel vetoed some ideas: Captain America wearing a darker suit & using two actors with a more buff actor to play Captain America as apposed to Steve Rogers
Jason; instantly knows pretty much every b-movie actors by name, but Ronny Cox...A guy who is in 2 Beverly Hills cop movies, Robocop, Total Recall, eludes him when the intro credits roll. And that's why I love this show. 😂
Apparently the script was rewritten three times by different writers and then rewritten constantly during production due to the budget being slashed and they had to move filming from Italy to former Yugoslavia.
Captain America's shield was strapped to his back under his clothes in the early comic books. I think that is why his shield magically appears when you do not see him holding the shield. His baggy loose shoulders are concealing the shield, still just as funny as the fake ears.
Italian Red Skull played by one of my favorite character actors, Scott Paulin. He played the drama teacher in Teen Wolf and Christian Slater's dad in Pump Up The Volume, along with several scenery-chewing villains in Albert Pyun movies.
Ronny Cox is seriously one of my all-time favorite actors. He was always great as either a hero or a villain (especially in Robocop and Total Recall). This also wasn't the only time he played the President. And Ronny Cox and Ned Beatty were both in Deliverance haha.
To me Darren Mcgavin, will always be Karl Kolchack in the Night Stalker. He's been in a lot of stuff. He was also in an Arnold Schwarzenegger movie called Raw Deal. It's pretty good.
@@groothewanderer3710Man, you know you are great, right? I love the Night Stalker, it's like the daddy of x-files and I'm glad that some people mention it nowadays. This classic mustn't be forgotten.
The difference between a duster and a trench coat is that a duster has a slit from about halfway up from the bottom. This would allow those flaps to go over the sides of the horse rather than across its back and potentially get crapped on like a standard trench coat would. They even have straps at the bottoms of the flaps to wrap them around your lower legs. Think of those flaps like mudflaps on a car, except made for olden times on horseback.
Omg wow that's Mustafa Nadarević at 1:38!! He's one of the all time greats here in Balkans actors! He passed away in 2020 and seriously he's unbelivable actor. One of his most famous roles was of Izet Fazlinović in Lud Zbunjen Normalan (translated Deranged, Confused and Normal) a famous bosnian TV series he was crazy good in that one! May he rest in peace I never knew he was in this wow.
Fun fact: the short red head soldier in the beginning and at the hospital, is the adult Bill Mumy who played Will Robinson in the original Lost in Space series. And yes, the ears are fake and part of the suit. Also, the general seen with Ronny Cox, is Darren Mcgavin who played Karl Kolchack in the Night Stalker series and the lamp fixated dad in A Christmas Story.

That's one "special" Captain America. I loved the plane whoosh sound effect straight outta Super Friends or Wonder Woman's invisible plane from the 60's cartoons. But the best is the more than one time he used the "I'M GONNA BE SICK!" ruse to steal a car. That's just good writing
Back in the late 90's, my college roommate had a bootleg VHS of this. It was required viewing after a night out. NEVER smoke pot and watch this, you will throw up from laughing so hard, or at least I did. Have a good 4th! Already tipping one back in honor of you guys!
Enjoy the review…not trying to get cool points, but I love this channel and Jason I respect you and Erin for putting your lives on display for us. F these guys that hide behind the comments page to be disrespectful to you guys. I am appreciative of what you do.
This was produced by Menahem Golan who ran the Cannon Group but left it to make his own company 21st Century Film Corporation which made Captain America (1990) BTW Happy 4th of July from the UK
@@timpatrick564 Right you are. Cannon was to make a live action Spider-Man movie that was set to release for Christmas 1986. Cannon got as far as filming a teaser trailer before their lease on the rights expired and Marvel Comics took the rights back. Michael Dudikoff was one of the actors considered for Peter Parker in this proposed movie. Cannon would however co-release Superman IV: The Quest For Peace (1987) with Warner Brothers after the Salkind's sold them the rights to Superman following a meeting at the 38th Cannes Film Festival.
The grand piano at the citadel thing totally makes sense when you consider they originally wanted to cast John Tesh as both Red Skull and Captain America.
I remember that being filmed in Croatia at the beginning of the war. We were killing each other and some strange Canadian guy was running around the city wearing a ridiculous costume. His costume wasn't even the strangest I saw that year.
One comment I haven't seen besides Matt Salinger being JD Salinger's son. He was in the original "Revenge of the Nerds" as Burke, the guy who hung out with Ogre and Gable. He was also the one who yelled out "Let's get those nerds!" after the Coach's locker room tirade.
This was directed by Albert Pyun. The same guy who did Dollman. A great schlock film. And Cyborg, with Jean Claude van Damme playing a dude named Gibson
Oh, Dollman, it's a hilarious one. Tim Thomerson as a small badass cop teaching bad guys that height is not so important in the art of whooping asses))
3:50 Melinda Dillon always looked young. She was ~51 when this came out and Matt Salinger was 30. 5:52 For a movie set in the 1940s, that looks suspiciously like a Beretta 92 in the Nazi agent's hand.
My favorite Ronny Cox role: Captain Edward Jellico of the Federation starship U.S.S. Cairo. He takes command of the Enterprise-D when Capt. Picard goes on a secret mission and gets captured by the Cardassians.
Michael Nouri who played Lt. Colonel Louis at the beginning played the cop who pairs up with an alien FBI agent played by Kyle MacLachlan in "The Hidden".
12:17 - "I dunno if I like Ronny Cox not being a villain..." Eh... he does make a good villain, but that didn't stop me from enjoying him in Beverly Hills Cop.
Italian Red Skull vs. GTA Captain America, with bonus plastic ears and shoulder pads! Almost as good as watching your drunk neighbors blow their fingers off 😁
The hump on his back is supposed to be him carrying his shield and wearing his suit under his clothing. I should add... this is AFTER Batman 89. They saw Batman and though "Yeah, we could do something like that".
I hope in the future you’ll watch the 2 Reb Brown Captain America movies. Which is funny to think about because they were made in the 70s meaning he was the 1st ever live action Captain America. I also got to meet him at a comic con & got a photo & signature with him a long time ago.
A few trivia facts: - this was made by one half of the infamous Cannon team, Yoram Globus had split and formed his own company. - the original mask for Cap had holes for his ears but caused uncomfortable chafing for the actor that fake plastic ones were used. - the actress playing Sharon (Kim Gillingham) did double duty with old make up appliances and also played Cap's older girlfriend in the present day. - the Red Skull who is German in the comics was made Italian for whatever reason and the actor Scott Paulin does double duty playing the doctor in care of the wounded Captain America. - the costume for Cap was made by the same costume shop that did the Tim Burton Batman suits. - director Albert Pyun had actually wanted two actors for Cap, Matt Salinger was to play pre-serum Steve Rodgers and Football player Howie Long was to play Captain America and was even asked to do so but Marvel told them to use one single actor for both roles.
Captain America did not release in US theaters, but I clearly remember seeing a teaser trailer in a theater. It showed the shield and the title and not much else.
Now you *_have_* to do the 1978 Captain America movies with SLAB BULKHEAD! BRIDGE LARGEMEAT! GRISTLE MCTHORNBODY! BIG MCLARGEHUGE! BUTCH DEADLIFT! SLATE FISTCRUNCH!! BOB JOHNSON!! OH WAIT! Put our faith in BLAST HARDCHEESE!!!
And for non MST3K fans, he is talking about Reb Browns versions with an ever more plastic shield than in this version (it is transparent and very wobly). And also you should so do Space Mutiny with both Reb Brown AND Cameron Mitchell, it is amazingly bad, but in a very good way.
Big McLargeHuge almost killed me when I first saw that - I nearly hydro-locked with my beverage. Just one of many reasons Space Mutiny is tied for 1st on my MST3K leaderboard (tied with Overdrawn At The Memory Bank, naturally. They're conveniently both in the same volume of MST3K DVDs, too).
Not exactly how it went down, no. Strapped to a rocket is pretty much it. No kids, not the Red Skull, not flying to the White house and then to Alaska... Quite a lot that's different.
Apparently, according to trivia, at one point Michael Dudikoff and Steve James were signed on to an earlier script set to play Captain America and Falcon for Cannon. Tell me that wouldn't have been awesome.
Carjacker Cap! Those scenes are my favorite part of the whole movie. Glad you guys enjoyed this one, its one of my first loves in the so bad its good genre.
Thank you for ALL of these clips! This saves me a lot from going through a lot of movies!😂 Me&my lady recently watched a Charlton Heston classic called "Omega man" from 1973. I remembered it being good after seeing it sometimes in the 90's&after rewatching it, I am certain that this would fall into your category of so bad it's good stuff. We both couldn't stop laughing at some scenes&the logic...😂😂😂 but it's still better than the remake I am legend.😁 Anyway, we truly enjoy your clips&hope to see more from you!😎👌🏻
Captain America, Matt Salinger, is acclaimed author, J.D. Salinger's son. If Matt wants to undue all that is bad with this film, he can finally release his father's unpublished works!
Wow, a V-1 flying bomb launched from Italy, crosses the Atlantic, skims over Washington DC and lands in Alaska? That's the most efficient pulse-jet in history! :O That tech was worth ten super-soldiers back in WW2! Italian Red Skull is packin' serious heat...
Captain America literally socked Hitler in the face on the cover of his first comic. In his first movie, he runs from any danger at any chance he gets. Wow, just wow.
Technically he had a film serial in 1944 which was an even worse cinematic outing: there Captain America was a costumed non-powered superhero with a revolver and a district attorney by day.
Great as always! Two observations: Canada "is" part of America 😉 and the young officer in the beginning lab scene is Will Robinson from the original Lost In Space.
Lol!!! Arnold and Lundgren even being considered is comical, and I’m a huge Lundgren fan. Dudikoff actually would have been a better pick as far as action, but Long would have been the better pick as far as overall appearance.
Why didn't President (Ronny Cox) care about Captain America missing? Well, dive into his Dick Jones character in Robocop. "Who cares if he didn't work?"
Considering this film was edited old school style by hand on celluloid; the part where Beige Skull machine guns an advancing Captain American Rubber behind his shield until it becomes almost one shot is actually a masterpiece.
I distinctly remember going to see "The 'Burbs" in 1989 and seeing the trailer for Captain America. I waited to see ANYTHING else about it again and never did. I never really liked the character but the trailer was awesome and I couldn't wait to see the movie.
Gonna admit, I loved renting this from Blockbuster as a kid to watch back in the early to mid-90s. 8 year old me didn't appreciate the cheesiness as much as I do now.
I've never seen it confirmed, but this might have used parts of the plot of Pyun's unmade "Masters of the Universe" sequel. His sequel script involved Skeletor being teleported to our world and starting an evil corporation involved in advanced military weapons. He-Man would then come to our world and wear normal clothes (and apparently becoming a Football star...) to blend in. And presumably Skeletor would have to hide his skull face to blend in like Red Skull does here. When Cannon's licenses for MOTU2 and Spider-Man were cancelled, Pyun quickly created Cyborg using sets, props, and costumes that had been created for those films so the money wouldn't go to waste. Pyun wanted Chuck Norris to star but Cannon forced him to use JCVD. The main villain of Cyborg wore a costume that was supposed to be for Skeletor and which incorporated parts of the costume (the chainmail) of the character Blade from the first MOTU film.
This is why I read the comments on this channel for history like this, thanks for sharing, I think it's interesting how "bad" films like these make the best of what they've got and reuse assets. Sorta sad we never got such a goofball He-Man sequel though, that would have been painfully 80s!
I love how Caps go-to move is to hitch a ride, act carsick, and then steal the car after the driver comes to check on him and then leaving them stranded.
I remember Entertainment Tonight had interviews with the cast a few months before it was to be released. It was a legitimate mainstream movie, but then straight to video.
Cap boinking the granddaughter of his love interest from WW2 is comics accurate. He took up with Sharon Carter, Agent of SHIELD, and creepily enough, granddaughter of Peggy Carter....the end of End Game coulda been way different lol
Cutting your on hand off instead of Captain America's. That's like a naked gun joke.
Inspired storytelling.
I'm bleeding, making me the victor.
WHYYY DID HE DO THAT LOL
@@chuckn4851 maybe it's like the Hannibal movie and Red Skull did it cause he's secretly in love with Cap 😂

"I see what you did there movie."
I think the comment was "Where did Captain America learn to steal a car?" But same thing pretty much
But did the new Captain America steal it as slickly as the original? You’ve got to admit, that barf and run fake out was pretty smooth!
@@Hackspear214 The "barf and run" is his best move!

According to IMDB, Ronny Cox (whom until right now I believed to be dead) said in an interview this movie had the best script he'd seen... but they fucked up royally.
I also thought he had passed away lol.
After watching this, it's hard to believe the script was good, haha. This was shockingly bad.
I thought he died a couple years go too.
@@JasonBrant I've heard that they originally had a much bigger budget, but it was cut massively. They had Dolph Lundgren & Val Kilmer in consideration.

33:25 you can see the fake ear attached to his mask when he’s not wearing it 😂
Ronny Cox said that the original script for this movie was one of the greatest he'd ever read. He has no idea how the movie butchered it so bad.
Hard to believe after watching the movie.
I was wondering what Ronny was doing in it.
Apparently the script was rewritten three times by different writers and then rewritten constantly during production due to the budget being slashed and they had to move filming from Italy to former Yugoslavia.

Two words: Rubber ears. Three more words: JD Salinger’s kid. This movie is amazingly bad. Got to love the Italian Red Skull.
I hate Catcher In The Rye
Had no idea that was JD Salinger's kid.
@@JasonBrantMaybe JD Salinger became a recluse because of fatherly shame after seeing this movie.

90s Captain America doing justice to his country by stealing other people's cars. Happy fourth of July!
That's his best move.
I just figured it out. During his time on the rocket he was starved for oxygen.
In every scene after that Captain America is brain damaged.
Ronny Cox is seriously one of my all-time favorite actors. He was always great as either a hero or a villain (especially in Robocop and Total Recall). This also wasn't the only time he played the President. And Ronny Cox and Ned Beatty were both in Deliverance haha.

No, that was Jon Voight. Ronny and Burt Reynolds came later and the latter killed the mountain man with an arrow.
Also: Beverly Hills Cop 1 & 2, Robocop, Total Recall... the man's been in a lot of great movies
Captain Jellico in the memorable Star Trek TNG 2 episode chain of command

The Cap is such a brave, heroic, and iconic character. My favorite quote of his is “IM GOING TO BE SICK!” 🤣 ☠️
How does this compare to the 1979 Captain America? We have a copy of that, so I'm curious if it's worth watching after this.
I mean it's got Reb Brown in it.
Choices have consequences. That's why we subscribe to you.
REB BROWN
Captain America on a motorcycle…
We know you’re going to watch it anyway…
The hump on his back is supposed to be him carrying his shield and wearing his suit under his clothing. I should add... this is AFTER Batman 89. They saw Batman and though "Yeah, we could do something like that".
Did I see Billy Mummy, "Danger, Will Robinson!"?
Yes. Well, Bill "Mumy." ;-)
I hope in the future you’ll watch the 2 Reb Brown Captain America movies. Which is funny to think about because they were made in the 70s meaning he was the 1st ever live action Captain America. I also got to meet him at a comic con & got a photo & signature with him a long time ago.
His motorcycle was wicked
A few trivia facts:
- this was made by one half of the infamous Cannon team, Yoram Globus had split and formed his own company.
- the original mask for Cap had holes for his ears but caused uncomfortable chafing for the actor that fake plastic ones were used.
- the actress playing Sharon (Kim Gillingham) did double duty with old make up appliances and also played Cap's older girlfriend in the present day.
- the Red Skull who is German in the comics was made Italian for whatever reason and the actor Scott Paulin does double duty playing the doctor in care of the wounded Captain America.
- the costume for Cap was made by the same costume shop that did the Tim Burton Batman suits.
- director Albert Pyun had actually wanted two actors for Cap, Matt Salinger was to play pre-serum Steve Rodgers and Football player Howie Long was to play Captain America and was even asked to do so but Marvel told them to use one single actor for both roles.
Captain America did not release in US theaters, but I clearly remember seeing a teaser trailer in a theater. It showed the shield and the title and not much else.
Why no release?
Now you *_have_* to do the 1978 Captain America movies with SLAB BULKHEAD! BRIDGE LARGEMEAT! GRISTLE MCTHORNBODY! BIG MCLARGEHUGE! BUTCH DEADLIFT! SLATE FISTCRUNCH!! BOB JOHNSON!! OH WAIT!
Put our faith in BLAST HARDCHEESE!!!
And for non MST3K fans, he is talking about Reb Browns versions with an ever more plastic shield than in this version (it is transparent and very wobly). And also you should so do Space Mutiny with both Reb Brown AND Cameron Mitchell, it is amazingly bad, but in a very good way.
Big McLargeHuge almost killed me when I first saw that - I nearly hydro-locked with my beverage. Just one of many reasons Space Mutiny is tied for 1st on my MST3K leaderboard (tied with Overdrawn At The Memory Bank, naturally. They're conveniently both in the same volume of MST3K DVDs, too).
To be fair with the whole "strapped to a rocket" scene, that IS how it went down in the comics.
yeah but he didn't crash in Alaska and lose THAT easy
@@chrisbuttonshaw2088 I'mlol he does suck
Not exactly how it went down, no. Strapped to a rocket is pretty much it. No kids, not the Red Skull, not flying to the White house and then to Alaska... Quite a lot that's different.
Apparently, according to trivia, at one point Michael Dudikoff and Steve James were signed on to an earlier script set to play Captain America and Falcon for Cannon. Tell me that wouldn't have been awesome.
Happy 4th , love your content
Ned Beatty! He once squealed like a Dave downing a can of beer.
Nothing sounds as horrific as Dave downing a beer.
@JasonBrant True. With this, Dave can usher in the apocalypse.
Carjacker Cap! Those scenes are my favorite part of the whole movie. Glad you guys enjoyed this one, its one of my first loves in the so bad its good genre.
Thank you for ALL of these clips! This saves me a lot from going through a lot of movies!😂 Me&my lady recently watched a Charlton Heston classic called "Omega man" from 1973. I remembered it being good after seeing it sometimes in the 90's&after rewatching it, I am certain that this would fall into your category of so bad it's good stuff. We both couldn't stop laughing at some scenes&the logic...😂😂😂 but it's still better than the remake I am legend.😁
Anyway, we truly enjoy your clips&hope to see more from you!😎👌🏻
Captain America, Matt Salinger, is acclaimed author, J.D. Salinger's son. If Matt wants to undue all that is bad with this film, he can finally release his father's unpublished works!
Wow, a V-1 flying bomb launched from Italy, crosses the Atlantic, skims over Washington DC and lands in Alaska?
That's the most efficient pulse-jet in history! :O
That tech was worth ten super-soldiers back in WW2!
Italian Red Skull is packin' serious heat...
‘He got his ass blasted in deliverance’ what a legacy for Ned Beatty haha
jason... im here! i just got home! the party can start now!
Finally!
@@JasonBrant thanks bro!!
I have wanted you guys to see Carjacker Captain America for ages - lol - glad to see it on the channel finally
Captain America literally socked Hitler in the face on the cover of his first comic. In his first movie, he runs from any danger at any chance he gets. Wow, just wow.
Technically he had a film serial in 1944 which was an even worse cinematic outing: there Captain America was a costumed non-powered superhero with a revolver and a district attorney by day.
@@PictureProductStudio He sounds more competent than this one lol
@@PictureProductStudiothat honestly sounds better than this
talian Red Skull alone makes the movie almost so bad its good
He cuts his own hand off 🤣
@@joshuascott3428 Now you can watch Orange Skull take on Tug Benson in real life.
Great as always! Two observations: Canada "is" part of America 😉 and the young officer in the beginning lab scene is Will Robinson from the original Lost In Space.
Michael Dudikoff, Dolph Lundgren, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Val Kilmer, and Howie Long were all picks to play Captain America.
Lol!!! Arnold and Lundgren even being considered is comical, and I’m a huge Lundgren fan. Dudikoff actually would have been a better pick as far as action, but Long would have been the better pick as far as overall appearance.
@@JCole78
Arnold Schwarzkopf would have been a good Redskull with thick heinz accent 😅
Why didn't President (Ronny Cox) care about Captain America missing? Well, dive into his Dick Jones character in Robocop.
"Who cares if he didn't work?"
20:58 "Captain AMEREEKA EES EEN KALIFORNIA!" - Frigin private jet flyes by with a cartoon rocket engine sound effect 🤣🤣🤣
Considering this film was edited old school style by hand on celluloid; the part where Beige Skull machine guns an advancing Captain American Rubber behind his shield until it becomes almost one shot is actually a masterpiece.
Captain America on SBIG on the 4th of July! That’s the true sound of freedom! [Looks off into the distance, a single tear falls).
A single tear rolled down my cheek, turned into a bald eagle and flew away.
I still have this VHS from back in the day lol. “this is that piece of shit you talk about all time” I had to rewatch it and laugh my ass off
I'm glad you guys had fun because this looks like a dumpster fire. Happy Albert Pyun had kept his streak of directing bad flicks intact though.
I absolutely loved Jason's reaction to the fake ears. Those ears are GLUED!!
That is not America's ass.
America's ears.
@@JasonBrant And they're burnin' rubber
No, but it's definitely ass.
I distinctly remember going to see "The 'Burbs" in 1989 and seeing the trailer for Captain America. I waited to see ANYTHING else about it again and never did. I never really liked the character but the trailer was awesome and I couldn't wait to see the movie.
Gonna admit, I loved renting this from Blockbuster as a kid to watch back in the early to mid-90s. 8 year old me didn't appreciate the cheesiness as much as I do now.
Chris Evans isn't Canadian, unless Boston is in Canada.
great, you saw the one with the rubber ears. now watch the reb brown version. 😁
America! F Yeah!
🤣
Gavin the dad from Christmas story is the general. This is badass. 😅
I like to think that Captain America just runs around in the woods like sasquatch now
Chris Evans is Canadian? Got mixed up on that one! Evans is a born & bred Southie Boston boy. Lol
I've never seen it confirmed, but this might have used parts of the plot of Pyun's unmade "Masters of the Universe" sequel. His sequel script involved Skeletor being teleported to our world and starting an evil corporation involved in advanced military weapons. He-Man would then come to our world and wear normal clothes (and apparently becoming a Football star...) to blend in. And presumably Skeletor would have to hide his skull face to blend in like Red Skull does here.
When Cannon's licenses for MOTU2 and Spider-Man were cancelled, Pyun quickly created Cyborg using sets, props, and costumes that had been created for those films so the money wouldn't go to waste. Pyun wanted Chuck Norris to star but Cannon forced him to use JCVD. The main villain of Cyborg wore a costume that was supposed to be for Skeletor and which incorporated parts of the costume (the chainmail) of the character Blade from the first MOTU film.
This is why I read the comments on this channel for history like this, thanks for sharing, I think it's interesting how "bad" films like these make the best of what they've got and reuse assets. Sorta sad we never got such a goofball He-Man sequel though, that would have been painfully 80s!
For a second, I thought this was the Captain America movie with Reb Brown.
ronny cox, also in Deliverance, and Robocop.
I love how Caps go-to move is to hitch a ride, act carsick, and then steal the car after the driver comes to check on him and then leaving them stranded.
Also @5:50 is absolutely hilarious. 😂 I've watched it like ten times over and I'm in tears laughing at it.
I remember Entertainment Tonight had interviews with the cast a few months before it was to be released. It was a legitimate mainstream movie, but then straight to video.
Cap boinking the granddaughter of his love interest from WW2 is comics accurate. He took up with Sharon Carter, Agent of SHIELD, and creepily enough, granddaughter of Peggy Carter....the end of End Game coulda been way different lol
