Author Topic: Captain America-the two made-for-TV films RED-001 Applicant posted                        Anyone remember those two tv films from the late-1970s? Starred Reb Brown as Cap. What is YOUR opinion of the costume,especially the motorcycle helmet design? They're out on DVD to conencide with the recent 2011 film. Registered: Oct 2003  |  IP: Logged |  Dev - Em KIA posted                        They were so awful that I have been fighting the urge to impulse buy them. They're in the same league as the Spider-Man stuff from back then. I loved them as a kid because that was really all we had to go with, but they are really bad... I'm sure I will end up with them at some point. From: Turn around... | Registered: Jul 2003  |  IP: Logged |  Jerry active posted                        Motorcycle and helmet were cool. Action was standard 70's fare. Shield and acting were lame. I think both were plastic. -------------------- No regrets, Coyote.

From: South Carolina | Registered: Jul 2003  |  IP: Logged |  Triplicate Kid Applicant posted                       I saw the first one a long time ago (for me, that is, not nearly as long ago as 1979!) I don't remember too much, but I recall being horrified that they not only moved his origin out of WW2 but left little reason for him to wear a super-patriot costume at all. Even the contemporary Spider-Man stuck closer to the idea. -------------------- Tom Strong, on nostalgia: "I suppose it's a ready substitute for genuine feeling." - Tom Strong #6, Alan Moore From: Calgary, Alberta | Registered: May 2008  |  IP: Logged |  rickshaw1 Leader posted                        I'm old enough to have been disappointed at the original airings of Hulk, Wonder Woman(though not Linda Carter, just the show in general), Spider-Man and the Captain America movies as well. And then there are those two, little known gems, the live action "roast the superhero's" and its companion movie as well. -------------------- Damn you, you kids!
