    In 1990, one half of Cannon Films (Menahem Golan) made an adaptation of Captain America. And it's dumber than we could have possibly imagined. From the terrible suit, to the nonexistent logic, this movie is shockingly incompetent. Which is why we love it.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    As a long suffering comic book fan I must contest the idea that THIS film is in anyway a representation of what the character of Captain America is like in the books. The MCU Captain America films succeeded to capture audiences IN SPITE of garbage like this and the terrible 1970s TV movies. As someone that remembers going out of my way to find a vhs copy of this as an 11yr old I always try to remind people that in 2024 they are living in a virtual utopia when it comes to the current state of comic book movies! The 90s was such an awful time for Marvel across the board that just having a film or show about a comic book character exist was an event unto itself! We forgave SO MUCH TRASH! Shit like this is always a sobering reminder that things could always be so much worse when it comes to comic book movies and adaptations of things people love.

    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.

    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.
