Captain America 1990 poster

 

From Wiki- Captain America is a 1990 American superhero film based on the Marvel Comics superhero of the same name. It is directed by Albert Pyun and written by Stephen Tolkin, from a story by Tolkin and Larry Block. It stars Matt Salinger in the title role and Scott Paulin as his nemesis the Red Skull, with Ronny Cox, Ned Beatty, Darren McGavin, Francesca Neri, Michael Nouri and Melinda Dillon. The film was produced by Menahem Golan for the now-defunct 21st Century Film Corporation.

While the film takes several liberties with the comic's storyline, it features Steve Rogers becoming Captain America during World War II to battle the Red Skull, being frozen in ice, and subsequently being revived to save the President of the United States from a crime family that dislikes his environmentalist policies.[7]  While the film received a theatrical release internationally, it was released direct-to-video by Columbia TriStar Home Video in the United States. It received generally unfavorable reviews from critics, though it has since developed a cult following.[8] now back to me:

A cult following?  Maybe. I enjoy the movie, though it could have been better.  More money would have helped, and perhaps a second or third draft for the script.  I do like this promo picture a lot.
