Captain America 1990 - The Cinema Snob

[@mattsteitz8536]

4:23 Ah yes the old "Psych, Hitler!", always a classic.

[@Launchpad05]

'HAIL HYDRA!'

[@DarthAzabrush]

I ran in to a Turkish gentleman recently who was almost the spitting image of Brad. I like to think somewhere on the internet he's reviewing all the films Brad likes as the Turkish Cinema Snob. Perhaps Deja View will find it someday...

[@darkcoeficient]

Turkish Brad reviews American Cinema Snob.

[@antipeternity9461]

Just SHUT up

[@sperrin]

Wait a second. Brad had a head injury and now Snob has too? It's like these two guys are connected somehow...

[@dubbingsync]

It's funny how you never see them in the same room... One of them must be a superhero!

[@Kaefer1973]

+Rhys Causon It's probably a missunderstanding, I always thought it odd for the Snob and Kung Tai Ted never to be at the same place, until their big fight.

[@Assimandeli]

+Kaefer1973 Speaking of Kung Tai Ted, didn't he suffer an injury of some sort as well?

[@Kaefer1973]

Assiman Him being bound to the wheelchair seems to imply so.

[@zetetick395]

Another wacky internet conspiracy theory! Will it never end!

[@TheKML777]

"Is that how they say goodbye in Germany? I like the Austrian way better." I understood that reference.

[@thegreatveritas]

You dont want to know how we ask what time it is!

[@nyarlathotep4389]

can you explain it to me?

[@HenryvKeiper]

He distracted Red Skull with a recording of his family being murdered, then killed him too? Well, that's a little dark.

[@oz_jones]

Well, Cap IS a Hydra agent....

[@HenryvKeiper]

Now he is.

[@L1701]

He thinks he is. He really isn't.

[@HenryvKeiper]

He thinks he is. He really isn't. But he still is, too.

IT'S TIME TO STOP

[@kilo1012]

What amuses me about Dick Jones as the president here is that Bob Orton is the president in Iron Man 3

[@chadrandall2153]

I Love this movie . I discovered it when Marvel released the official comic book adaption in 1990, i bought the comic . Went to the local video store the same day and found the movie . I was 10 , great times . Despite its flaws here and there , the movie had a lot of heart , was well cast and well shot . It doesn't come off as campy at all either . It has a really good serious tone through out the whole thing . It looked gritty in some parts too , which is awesome . Also Red Skulls make up was practical and well done . They did try, and cared about the movie they were making and it showed . Sure it could of been better but this was still a good first attempt at a serious Captain America movie . Good stuff . I'm definitely gonna track down the 2 hour directors cut , i'd love to see it . This review was hilarious though . I laughed my ass off .

[@jasoncinema]

Yeah, it’s definitely better than that unreleased Fantastic Four film, and the ‘70s Captain America TV movies. Plus it’s cool that legendary author JD Salinger’s son Matt played Captain America.

[@alonsoarana5307]

We don't talk about this one, or the 40's serials, or the fact that Chris Evans was the Human Torch

[@piplup2009]

I understood that reference

[@zaneseibert]

WHEN CAPTAIN AMERICA THROWS HIS MIGHTY SHIEEEEEEELD! ALL WHO CHOSE TO APPOSE THE SHIELD MUST YIEEEEELD!!!!

[@buzzingsigndiner397]

+Alonso Arana Or that fake one with Spiderman as a villain.

[@alonsoarana5307]

Buzzing Sign Diner I didn't even know that one existed

[@SpeedyEric1]

+Alonso Arana Don't forget not talking about those POS movies from 1979 starring Reb "the human blowhorn" Brown.

[@paulnash9851]

Mr Snob ! (thumb up), Thanks !...P:S- Welcome back Brad.

[@Tareltonlives]

In all seriousness, I'm glad to see you're all right.

[@dnmstarsi]

+Tareltonlives Indeed. I wasn't able to follow on Brad since my house has no internet 'til the end of this month but it's fine to see him doing fine even though I didn't know he had a head injury. Hope he's feeling better cuz that's more important than waiting for another episode of The Snob. :)

[@dnmstarsi]

Adrian Fahrenheit Have any proof?

[@dnmstarsi]

Adrian Fahrenheit When was that released?

[@Tareltonlives]

No, Doug made a review of this same movie a few years ago

[@Dannypuck]

+Tareltonlives Insert the Nerd's comment about "There is no sign up sheet for reviews."

[@RoseWaltz]

I remember watching this when I was a stupid kid and loving it. I found my old copy some years ago and watched it, and I was so underwhelmed. It's amazing how, as a kid, you can convince yourself something's good just because you REALLY REALLY REALLY want it to be.

[@xxstyxx]

+Papallion Sunspell That and it was (sadly) the "best" Marvel Movie at the Time. ^^

[@Moscato_Moscato]

You should do 1978 Doctor Strange before Doctor Strange is released

[@SpeedyEric1]

Or you could just watch the review by Nash, Linkara, Film Brain, and the late JewWario.

[@JambopaulGamerInPJs]

Considering his recent trend, i'm sure thats what he will do.

[@SpeedyEric1]

Jambopaul The Gamer in Pyjamas True dat, yo.

[@theblocksays]

+SpeedyEric1 But then I'd be watching Linkata....

[@aaronsiewert6009]

Deebo Molina that's much better than this piece of shit.

[@CaptainDesiderio]

Here is your obligatory "You can't do this. The Nostalgia Critic already did!"

[@kittyfox7]

"Oh someone fucked that.." I'm dying here! I love how angry his face is when he does these types of reviews. Pretty much only reason why I subbed!

[@what9681]

Brad, glad that you're back and feeling better. Not even Evel Knievel would've been daring enough to try Pepsi 1893 lol

[@Morbos1000]

Hard to believe this was made the year AFTER Batman. This would have still been terrible before that, but it is just embarrassing to think that they believed this would be a blockbuster.

[@nicolasgarant9124]

Sorry, I know this is a 4 year old comment and there isn't much point to answer, but I feel some context is important. For one, Batman had 3 times the budget this one had. Two, this one was released as a direct to video and TV movie getting a theatre release in only a few countries. So we're not talking the same project scale.

[@ShadowSonic2]

@@nicolasgarant9124 Plus this was made by the Cannon Group. A notorious schlock factory.

[@Quntumking]

They mentioned Superman in a MARVEL movie WOW!

[@TheKML777]

+Kingssoldier It was a simpler time when all comic book nerds, regardless of their affiliations, could get together and talk about their favorite comics and characters without starting a flame war.

[@DEATHFLAME246]

This is why Superman works alone

[@pond0479]

You are not Superman you know.

[@artistwithouttalent]

Because Captain Marvel would be less well known and more anachronistic.

[@billybarnett9518]

So did the 2002 Spider Man

[@trajan74]

Ronnie Cox is president? So Captain America is safe but SG-1 is screwed.

[@Tubes78]

never realised how much of this is also in the first avenger.

[@Boobalopbop]

Hey Mr. President! Jesus, bro!

[@Boobalopbop]

+Mal Why can't I find that review anymore? LOL

[@Targisvear]

No "Hey Mr. President! Chicks, bro!"? Waw, Jesus bro REALLY took a life of its own by now over its predecessor...

[@kristianfischer9814]

When I saw Captain America I thought he was doing the Reb Brown one. But this'll do fine too. Good to have you back, Snob.

[@ninjabluefyre3815]

Flint Ironstag

[@Tareltonlives]

Great review. Even better than Doug's. Mr President? Jesus, man!

[@Yama_1291]

I still remember asking my mom to buy this movie for me. Funny enough, I don't remember too much from where I was a little kid. This masterpiece must have left an impression.

[@amanoj318]

The delivery of the "oh, but why, it was so good" was just perfect, lol.

[@roguebritgravy1]

When she says forever. I'm reminded of the twins in the shining.

[@Howlflame]

After doing some research (aka looking at Google Maps), I have determined that Captain America flew over the White House heading south. How the hell did he end up in Alaska?!

[@Squiddy0912]

Shhh...

[@GabyGeorge1996]

Maybe he did a U-turn?

[@thebystander1636]

He just kept kickin those flanges!

[@vdantev]

Sorry to hear about your hospital stay, hope you're better. Thanks for the review.

[@BlazePiffington]

I was just giving a thumbs up when I noticed the likes, there was zero dislikes and as I reloaded the page there it was, one dislike. I was thinking that maybe sometimes people just get a thumbs down to be that one person just because they have that chance...not to say it isn't difference of artistic opinion or otherwise

[@michaelsanchez1869]

So sorry to hear about your injury. So glad to hear that you are OK.

[@rezandaigotsu4250]

I was kind of hoping we'd be talking about Reb Brown as Captain America, but this movie is RIFE with comedic potential. Glad to see you're back on your feet.

[@thatguybehindtheglass]

Yeah, the Cap movies from the 70s are just incredibly boring, made all the stranger since it stars Reb mother fucking Brown!

[@tdnguyen0413]

I can tell you Brad, that this film was conceived at Cannon with Michael Winner directing and also took the writing choices with a tv British writer Stan Hey, which I have a hard copy of the script and it's bloody awful but the WW2 stuff is really good, but the later parts are just horrid, and I remembered Lawrence J. Block (whose story credit is in the film) wrote a script, not perfect but Red Skull was pretty much good menace tone to the script, and I remembered Marlon Brando was going to be the red skull in Winner's version but Winner admitted not talking to him about the project, and Stephen Tolkin wrote a script for John Stockwell to direct, but it wasn't made until this was made with Tolkin's script. Tolkin recalled his experiences of watching the film where it was not a good experience, and he was comatose after the film was finished where several of his friends had to carry him psychically to a sushi bar and pour Sake down his throat in order to revive him.

[@smjaiteh]

I'm picking up on the Menahem Golan style now. Significantly cheaper than a theatrical film, but too expensive to be hid under the radar. They all basically look like Mac and Me.

[@bkjbearcat78]

+Sambou Jaiteh Pretty much. If you look at their filmography you'd be shocked to see how many C+ to B+ named actors there was in their films. Stallone being the rare A list at the time.

[@winstonwhite4050]

MMMHH, 40's chemistry, back when no-one talked to each other, and it was BETTER that way!

[@cjgray8825]

I clicked on this and got an ad for Pure Flix. I am so happy right now.

[@Tareltonlives]

When someone says "Captain America" I go "the one with Psyche Hitler, the one with Reb Brown, or the new ones?"

[@trinidadbotello9906]

Psyche Hitler?

[@trinidadbotello9906]

+TheAirBear2000 Oh ok thanks.

[@5roundsrapid263]

I remember seeing a poster for this at my local theater in 1989. I was either seeing Last Crusade or Bill and Ted. I'd wondered why it never came out. I didn't know until a few years ago that it became a direct to video movie.

[@KonElKent]

"Fireproof" in 1943, more often than not, meant "made from asbestos". Does the super soldier serum prevent cancer?!

[@Valdagast]

Anyone else want a crossover between Captain America and Heil Honey, I'm Home?

[@ninjabluefyre3815]

I think I read an HP Lovecraft story about that occurence.

[@ExplorerDS6789]

This aired just 2 days before my birthday. Thank you, Brad.

Be careful Snob, after my head injury I began to have memory loss. I started having memory loss after my head injury so be careful.

[@megatron6713]

I also had a head injury that caused memory loss, I don't remember how it happened, or if it caused memory loss, he should be careful though, you should have told him that head injuries can cause memory loss, have you ever had a head injury??? I've heard they can cause memory loss, what am I doing??? Why am I typing???.......I think Brad had a head injury, he should be careful those can cause memory loss......did I mention I had a head injury??? I think its given me memory loss.......

He's back. The man behind the mask.

[@jacobmatthewcrawford2120]

First, I just want you to know how relieved I am that you're doing better Brad... Second, loved the review, as always. I missed my weekly Cinema Snob very much... The "1990" Captain America movie looks less like a superhero movie, and more like something a bunch of people made because they were bored and had nothing better to do. Although, Ronny Cox does look like he might have some life to give to this crap. He's always fun to watch... Also, I can't wait for the next Friday the 13th review... Unlikable teenage characters, telekinetic powers, horrible psychologists, and Kane Hodder's first time under the mask... Yahoo! P.S... As much as I enjoyed this review, I still insist that you review the Reb Brown Captain America movies. I really think they'd make for some great episodes!

[@IbadGrammarX]

happy see snob make review again i love war room review just awesome

[@travelerluke5748]

Same. I was all excited for New Blood. But now, New Blood can wait.

[@sfighter0085]

True story Brad, when I was a kid, in the 90's, me and my Parents would go up to Base for our Grocery shopping. Sometimes we'd stop at this local "Food Mart" just for the hell of it, and they used to have a shelf of all these movies on VHS. My Dad rented it and I watched it. For the time I thought the movie was pretty good. But after watching some reviews, clips, and among others, I can see how cheesy this movie really is. I will say it at least tried to follow the comics very well, for the first half but then it all goes downhill when he gets frozen after his first fight with the Red Skull. Not mention rushing his adventures in WW2 was completely stupid, his early adventures were in WW2. Also they completely butchered the Red Skull by making him an Italian stereotype. And this was before Spider-Man 3 butchered Sandman by making him a wussy struggling Dad with a dying daughter. Seeing movies like this makes me appreciate how far we came when it came to comic book movies. We now have movies like "Iron Man", "The Avengers", "Captain America:The Winter Soldier", "Guardians of the Galaxy", and this year's "Captain America:Civil War". And we got more on the way. Good episode man. :)

[@SpeedyEric1]

4:35- One, I like "Hail Hydra!" better. Two, we have ourselves an internet meme. Three, nice Indiana Jones joke.

Nice review! I'm a little surprised that you didn't do a theme week for your 350th episode special, like how you did Pierre Kirby Week, _E.T._ Week and Sasquatch Week, but maybe you're holding that off until a later date. Can't wait to see your next _Friday the 13th_ review!
