    Storyline

    Edit
    During World War II, a brave, patriotic American Soldier undergoes experiments to become a new supersoldier, "Captain America." Racing to Germany to sabotage the rockets of Nazi baddie "Red Skull", Captain America winds up frozen until the 1990s. He reawakens to find that the Red Skull has changed identities and is now planning to kidnap the President of the United States. —Michael "Rabbit" Hutchison <rabhutch@spacestar.net>

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      In an interview with the publication Retro Junk, co-star Ronny Cox said this movie "...remains to this day the finest script I have ever read... how those guys messed that film up, I will never know".
    • Goofs
      (at around 16 mins) When Steve Rogers/Captain America goes on his first mission, the flag on his uniform has 50 stars. It would have been 48 stars during World War II.
    • Quotes

      Red Skull: We are both tragedies... And now I send our tortured souls to rest!

      Captain America: Speak for yourself.

    • Crazy credits
      Unlike the other actors who are credited for playing two characters, Scott Paulin receives two separate credits for playing Red Skull and the Army doctor.
    • Alternate versions
      Prior to the video release, a pirated copy of Captain America was available which had three extra scenes not included in the final cut:
      • There is additional dialogue between Steve Rogers and Bernie at the docks before Steve is sent off on his secret mission.
      • After Captain America parachutes down into Nazi territory, he lands in the forest and is met by two Ally spies, a male and a female, who proceed to show him the way to the enemy base. They are ambushed by Nazis, who kill the two spies before Cap finishes them all off. Cap then holds the dying female spy in his arms and is reminded of his girlfriend, Bernie, back in the United States.
      • There is an additional scene which explores the character of the Red Skull more, and it attempts to make him look much more like a tragic figure, haunted by his painful past. In the 1990's, as Steve Rogers is reviewing the deaths of Martin Luther King and John Kennedy and realizing that the Red Skull is to blame, the Red Skull is shown weeping over the piano seen at the end of the film, re-living the visitation of the Italian army storming into his house, shooting his family, and kidnapping him for their experiments. This scene shows that the Red Skull genuinely hates who he has become.

    Salinger treats it seriously
    Unfortunately, this is not the Marvel movie that will endear you to comic book movie adaptations. However, I think Salinger gives an honest performance as the title character, even if he spends more time out of costume than in. For whatever reason, the Red Skull is made Italian, rather than German, but it didn't bother me as much as it did some other viewers. For being a B-movie, Captain America is tolerable. Watch it first, before you make any judgements. You might be able to suspend your disbelief long enough to enjoy it.
