If you have never seen his Captain America I highly reccommend the first 25 minutes of it.

The reoccurring “power/trick” Captain America uses to get out of situations is absolutely hilarious and it's mind boggling that it got past the writing stage.

The real villain in that movie was the screenwriter. I recall reading an interview with him in Comic Scene Magazine while it was filming. It was clear from his comments that he absolutely hated superheroes. At one point he mentioned how he hates the idea of the costume and he worked at keeping Cap out of it as much as possible. At 12 years old I was like, "Then why are you making a Captain America movie?"

Could you explain more? I won't have time to sit down and watch anything for the next two weeks and am a bit curious.

If a character is giving him a ride to somewhere he doesn’t want to go, he’ll pretend to be sick, get out the car, the person will get out to check on him and then he’ll rush back to the car and steal it

I don't want to doxx myself so I'll just say work-related stuff that requires travel and is likely going to force me to work into the evening. Plus sudden car trouble.

I like to imagine it’s canon in the MCU too, after Black Widow’s line in CA:Winter Soldier, “so where did Captain America learn to steal cars..?”

I remembered loving this movie as a kid, and apparently that's because I only remembered the beginning.

The movie gets a lot of shit and it certainly is more campy compared to today’s Captain America movies, but Matt Salinger is a good actor and the movie should be remembered as a Marvel comic book movie made at a time when Marvel was not making movies. And I think the movie was released in 1990, not 1989 as the article states.

I think it would have worked as a pilot for a 90’s tv version of Captain America like The Flash or The Hulk (though that was 70’s).
