    • 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.

    This is the Best B-movie i've ever seen!
    You can't take this film too seriously. Like almost every straight to video movie. Its a B-movie! i mean come on the only thing that didn't make it a b-movie was a sex scene and they probably cut it out. The film had the feel of an old forties flick. The plot was pretty insulting though but it did capture some horrors of WW2 maybe not very well but somewhat. it was an insult ot all Cap fans to have Cap basically screw up his first mission. The Red Skull only looked decent in ONE! count it ONE Scene. The rest of the film he looked like a freak! please come on people HES THE FREAKING RED SKULL!!

    Tin Man sorry to say but you insult Dean knootz by comapring his work with this garbage. its a B-movie! i've seen worse really. the acting was ok i suppose but the script didnt go anywhere and had more plotholes than the streets by my house.
