I think they made a reference in "Captain America: The winter soldier" to this movie, when Captain mentioned how he learned to steal cars back in the day, lol
We're borrowing not stealing it
2000 Mummy Reference!
Also, Cap Theft Auto
alexleinbach lol!
Hahaha
A common mistake I've seen made on TH-cam reviews is that it's Nazis storming into that home at the beginning of this film. It's not the Nazis, it's the Italian Facists (who were also part of the Axis powers during World War II). For whatever reason, the filmmakers decided to make The Red Skull Italian instead of a German Nazi. I guess they were worried about offending Nazis? Who knows...?
well germany is of course very tight on nazi related media in their country. it's against the law to brandish any kind of nazi based material so they might have watered down a majority of the nazi symbols and such, and put in just enough nazism reference that german law would allow.
If you say nazis, you think holocaust, you say italian fascists, you think spaghetti and meatballs. That is why you do italians instead of nazis.
alexleinbach 1) Fascists were the model the Nazi party followed on its quest for power...the whole idea of the totalitarian ideology was born in Italy and only afterwards exported to Germany...Fascists killed a shitload of people too, go around in Italy saying that Fascists were a bunch of spaghetti loving jolly good fellows and chances are you'll be in for a beating (but probably being foreigner you'll only pass up as ignorant) 2) Probably the inclusion of Fascists as villains was done to please the Jugoslav authorities.
I do realize that, im saying that the average person would think of them stereotypically.
+SUPERskrat1996 Germany is not tight on nazi related media. It´s true that the display of symbols like the "swastika" is forbidden but that does not mean it is forbidden to show them in e. g. movies, documentaries. Also why would this matter for this movie which was not done by Germans?
The way he's looking at the shield when he gets spotted... "OH NO WONDER THEY SAW ME! DAMNIT"
'Good job, Cap. Let's go have a shawarma!'
Indeed
I think it's a hilarious coincidence that J.D. Salinger wrote a book where the main character absolutely despises film, and years later his son becomes an actor, and producer for film.
This is one of those movies where you should say, "I watched this, so you didn't have to." I love your channel and specifically the great breakdowns of movies like this.😎👍🏻
I saw this ages before the Marvel movies became what we now know them to be, and for a lower budgeted film, it was immensely entertaining and creative, a LOT of fun.
Ok, you're an evil super villain armed with a knife and Captain America grabs you: WHAT DO YOU DO? A. Cut off your own hand B. Cut off Captain America's hand C. Stab Captain America like he's a Marion Crane piñata.
+MediaGold Cut off your own hand?
Cynthia Utz Yeah, the Red Numbskull chose option A. Didn't you watch the video?
MediaGold Yay :D
+Dean Strickson Well, to be fair, Cap remembered to wear his Plot Armor that day. :P
THAT'S WHY HE FROZE! Plot Armor has +4 for heat element, but -4 for freeze.
that red skull makeup is fantastic! i think it looks better than 2011 version
Trevor Long it looked like it was right out of the comic
GoodBadFlicks yes sir!
Probably the best part of the whole movie
Real shame they didn't just leave red skull looking like that the whole movie
I actually met this Captain America during an autograph signing. He was huge
Let me see if i can help to thank you for your amazing work!
In the Italian scene:
Man-"How dare you?! What right have you to break inside my house?!"
Nazi-"Fire"
Liked for the bad dudes reference.
I watched this back in 92 thank you for sharing in my disappointment and mild excitement of early 90 movies
I saw this movie back in 1992 here in Germany, when it hit videostores, and liked it to a certain degree, fully aware that it was not a good movie. Around this time I also came across the 'Flash'-TV show, and 'Spider-Man and his Amazing Friends' was on TV every saturday, so this Cap-movie did its part for me. Not in a lifetime would I have believed if someone told me that twenty plus years later we'd have a comicbook-/Superhero-dominated bonanza in cinemas. So even if not every adaptation is equally good, I do appreciate the effort. ;-D
Which is weird because back then Marvel WASN'T really interested into making there OWN comic book movies back in the day... While both Superman (1978) and Batman (1989) were doing really well. Glad things have changed. Cause without this movie, we would not have an Iron Man movie or an Avengers movie.
***** Well I agree on that. But if it weren't for this, Marvel wouldn't have started their Movie Studios. And we wouldn't have a Marvel Cinematic Universe which is still popular.
I just noticed this now...Ned Beatty and Ronny Cox were both in Deliverance together, and this film is a reunion, though not exactly the reunion they were hoping for I think...
jayanxiety well, it was less painful for Beatty at least
depending on which side you're on, it can Either make your Whole Week, or it'll make your Hole Weak,
@@GoodBadFlicks And Cox for that matter. Remember, he bites the dust while going down the river.
I actually remember seeing this back in 1996
This looks more like a guilty pleasure than a straight out bad film.
It borders on guilty pleasure versus bad film.
Agreed I’ve seen worse
No. It’s bad
When Captain America gets unfrozen, I think he is the person that says "Nazis," but the way it was filmed was so bad that it is easy to see why someone would think it's one of the researchers speaking at that point.
Oh man, that stock jet sound was used constantly in the He-Man cartoon back in the day 😅
That Bad Dudes reference... Excellent!
thanks!
Learning all the behind the scene stuff makes me respect this movie more now, also funny review as always.
Ronny Cox likes power. Everytime I turn around he is in something where he played a political figure. Ok, fine, this, Stargate SG-1, and Murder at 1600...but he likes power!!!
I've had this movie for a year now - I REALLY need to take the time to watch it!
Allison Venezio
Ronny Cox was an evil business man/corporate suit in Robocop and Total Recall. The Chief in Cop Rock.
Yes, I do remember him in Robocop and Total Recall! :-) Cop Rock, though?! Hahahahaha!
+pluto545 cox played it very well the old evil man
More likely, he is just being typecast.
Bad Dudes screen was too perfect
I saw this movie (I think) in 1996 when it was broadcast on Filmnet. The movie was nothing to write home about but i did like it. I am surprised to hear that Marvel wasn't interested in making movies while Batman (and previously Superman) was doing great And let's not forget about the Hulk (as a series). Glad things changed.
Johan prx they've kind of gone the opposite where now they are making movies about almost all their heroes
Superman 4 in 1987 put a damper on what should have been the Trend ... Batman 89 was a gamble up until release as no one knew how a 'dark' dark knight would play at the time (and the franchise quickly devolved)... beyond that there was the simple fact that Marvel got their asses kicked by over inflating the collector's Market for comic books... they were selling the Film rights off willy-nilly to keep the lights on... That is why this film was so low budget, the Lundgren Punisher film in 1989 looked like a rejected sequel to Death Wish as much as a 'comic book movie' and why the infamous Fantastic 4 from the era exists (the studio needed to produce something to keep the rights until they figured out what they were doing... similarly why the Hasselhoff Nick Fury, and Gen X (made for TV, poorly disguised Pilot,) movies were made in the mid 90s as well...
That is why Blade in 1998 was itself seen more as a continuation of this era rather than the leader of the eventual revolution often cited as starting with X Men in 2000 and Raimi's Spider-Man in 2002
you mention Hulk, who had a 5 season series and got 3 made for TV movies based on it (thinly veiled attempts at spinning of Thor & Daredevil) in 88,89, & 90 so for a lot of people he (and superheroes) were TV fodder... also looking at the budget issues that plagued movies about Cap, He-Man and Superman (# 4 was notorious for budget mandated edits) most people recognized the need for a proper budget, lest you end up with a TV grade production... who's going to Pay movie theater prices to see Peter Horton (idk?) turn into Arnold Schwarzenegger in green body paint if it has the same 'special effects' limits as TV Movie from less than 2 years ago
Seriously you can be a fan of this movie but you are wrong this is a awful movie a abomination that deserves all the hate it gets. Captain America is highly absent in his damn movie, it's really not that exciting, the implausible asinine Captain America kicks a freakin rocket which alters where it goes how damn unbelievable, and also they made Captain America a awful character that you hate which is utterly unfaithful because he's similar to Superman a Likable Guy that is pure of heart Hero that cares about persons and has good manners.
Also the Red Skull looks freakin pathetic, he's a damn Nazi they made him a Italian Facist for no damn reason other than because they can and because they don't care about being faithful so a lameass nonsensical unnecessary unintelligent change, no damn explanation how the hell his face altered to human which is awful writing, etc.
This movie is a abomination a utter damn embarrassment with mostly no understanding of Captain America and a huge lack of damn effort which is primary reasons why it's a awful movie along with the low budget, and other flaws.
Marvel didn't know how bad they screwed up their own product until the first Blade movie was made. That is when everything started going right. I think they only got 25k to allow the Blade franchise movie to be shot, from then on they created Marvel Studios to have full control of their characters.
"I think I'm starting to watch Captain 'merica.". LMAO
Dammit I Love Bad Dudes
The star spangled man with a plan....sorta...
That fight scene with Captain America and Red Skull,actually kicked ASS!
awesome intro....listen to your videos all day as I work in my workshop. So many films I never knew were made, and great insights into films I know. Thank you
Thanks so much!
The scene where Cap gets picked up in the "built in West Germany" Volkswagen and listening to the Built I Japan radio was always pretty funny
Still better than Fan4stic...
Nope
also that movie not good just in case
I was NOT expecting a Bad Dude reference XD
Also, this movie is pretty entertaining. I think it's similar to the Adam West Batman TV-series ;)
I love it how the new Captain America movies are actually even sillier. The idea of a serum that gives you superpowers by mixing it with "Vita rays" (whatever those are) and making you buffy and handsome if you're a nice guy and buffy and ugly if you're Hugo Weaving is hilarious.
0:18 "that marble would rather you forget" I lold
I was 17 when this came out on video(although my local theater had a poster for a theatrical release that never happened)..At the time This was a huge step up from the Capt A Reb Brown TV movies
The Gunther reference had me rolling. Good job on that one.
alucard624 thanks! :)
alucard624 Oh, you touch my tra-la-la-la! I lost it during the Suburban Commando review, so naturally, I had to laugh at it AGAIN! :-)
Wait, they cut the Stan Lee cameo? Well, THERE'S your problem!
But Stan Lee cameos really doesn't had anything new to the overall stories in each marvel films other than just cashing in on his contribution to marvel brand. It would be better if he had wrote more stories in the films as he did in his comics years. Just saying.
Everybody smoked in the 1940s.
Right! No Joke, on American Antique Roadshow some guy brought in a suitcase that belong to a traveling salesman (because not everyone had a TV, I think) and among those things were cigarettes that were supposed to help you with your asthma, endorsed by doctors. "Suffer from asthma? Doctor Feelgood says' smoke some Curealls'! Take a puff and feel your asthma disappear." ...or something like that.
Now you need to find Captain America & Captain America II Death Too Soon from 1979 starring Reb Brown :)
One thing you didn't know is that Bernice is based off both Bernie Rosenthal and Peggy Carter from the comics, while Bernice's daughter Sharon Cooperman is a clear stand-in for Peggy's great niece Sharon Carter minus the S.H.I.E.L.D. agent skills.
Saw this when I was a kid, never realized both of Ralphie's parents from a Christmas story were in this???
Apparently those guys who saw the red white and blue and the big A and said "Nazi" must have thought there were in 2018 already. Just being ahead of the time.
Wow even back then Stan was doing cameos.
oh, and you totally won me over (as if you havent already) with the BAD DUDES refference
Loved this video. I tend to be a defender of Captain America 1990, because it ultimately saw the light of day with so many things stacked against it. I was lucky enough to see a bootleg of the director's workprint before the official release. It would never have been a blockbuster, but it was significantly better than the version that was left to history. While there were not too many scenes removed, many were slightly longer. However, there was a cut scene that explained how President Kimball would have known Sharon. Originally, they had a heartfelt conversation that added a lot to both characters. Certainly, they should have either let the scene in, or somehow edited the scene so that he doesn't address her by name before they (as far as anyone knew) met, but I don't think a lot of care was put into the revisions. Also, it didn't seem weird to me that Steve Rogers was seen smoking. He was a smoker in the comics until it was later (rightly) retconned.
Cap Theft Auto
You picked without a doubt THE best clip to play to sum up this movie as you usually do. Friggin love it. Happy New Year kid.
Happy New Year to you too!
I enjoyed this movie as a kid. Oh man you had me cracking up with the news bulletin about nazis kidnapping the president. Yes I'm bad enough to rescue him
Great Review, like your other reviews :) I just wondered why you didn´t include the (in my opinion) best scene of the movie: Cap steals a car and realizes it´s a German Volkswagen with a Japanese car radio and totally freaks out because he thinks that the Nazis and Japan won WW2. :D
I hope Cecil does one of the Dolph Lundgren Punisher.
Man dude... I could listen to the ending trivia of your reviews all day long!
Thanks!
Batman,Batman Returns,Batman Forever,Swamp Thing,Return of Swamp Thing,Punisher(1989), & Captain America(1990) are staples of my childhood. I love those comic book based flicks. cult classics!
2:35 THAT IS HILARIOUS
I haven’t laughed this hard for any other GoodBadFlick vids. Gold!
Thank you!
@@GoodBadFlicks
You are wrong this movie does deserve the hate it gets because it's an awful movie, and an embarrassment to Captain America.
The intention was to make a great serious super hero movie for this Captain America movie after the success of (1989) Batman, and that utterly failed for this awful Captain America movie.
@@jasoncase9481 have you even watch the video hater its not that bad come on
@@mogensschmidt2498
This movie has an incompetent Captain America which is frustrating to watch in an intentional serious super hero movie.
Captain America is an awful movie that deserves to be hated.
It’s an embarrassment that people have fun making fun of since it falls 10 billion miles short away from being in the well made movie area.
the little references and nods you make in your videos.. childhood 👌👌👍
It was light years ahead of the 70's TV movies
That's a low bar to exceed which is not saying much.
Loved this as a kid having to resist a lil cringe, now. With the thanks Mr. President scene... Oh, that was ruff.
From the Nostalgia Critic's review of the movie:
"Captain America! Bravely abandoning the people who help him in his time of need!"
6:23 I really wish Duke was in this film LOL!
I really never cared for this out of the 3 films that Marvel did during this time of this film I loved ''The Punisher'' with Dolph yes I know he doesn't wear the skull but in all 3 X-MEN films Wolverine never wears has yellow&black custom not in his his own film's away from ''X-MEN'' nobody says nothing about it IMO! Solid fun review as always Cecil.
Nearly everyone smoked in those days. As an ex-smoker, I'm actually glad to see increasingly less smokers around, since here in Brazil it's now illegal to smoke in public places, except on the street; however, I really love it that they could show people smoking in those times.
also, the actor who played red skull ,also played the doctor who did the surgery on Steve Rodgers.
Man, the sound effects for the mp5 sounded more like the m-60 from first blood :D
3:23 -- RE: "... less German and more Transylvanian..." -- with respect to the Red Skull's somewhat mysterious accent. In truth, the southern parts of Germany which border on the east are called Bavaria, and border on Czechoslovakia. See also: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bavaria#/media/File:Oberdeutsche_Mundarten.png
You hear Captain America say "Speak for yourself" and see him toss his shield at you, you know your screwed
That Nazi spy's handshake to heil motion/gun shot was amazing.
Sometime in the late 80s I seen the poster in the theater. Remember being wowed...then nothing
This movie gets hate?! I love how comicbook this movie is!
"Don't bogart the Funyons!"
Dude not for nothing I laugh out loud two or three times every video you post!
Thanks!
Captain Douchebag pretending to be sick and stealing a car from an old man is 90s comedy gold.😂
To be honest this is much better than all those modern superheros films who are all CGI festival with no heart...
This film is one my Guilty Pleasures
This film is not as terrible as some people say.Its not as awful as The spirit,Batman and Robin,and Superman 4.It was the first of its kind so its kinda special.I do love the 2 big budget Captain America movies especially Winter soldier which blew me away.It was a great experience in the theater.
Love your channel man! Hey that would be cool is you did an exploring episode for Fantastic Four from the early 90's.
Thanks! Legally since it was never officially released I don't think I could.
this is all i had as a kid, punisher ,capt. america, rocketteer tmnt batman 89 ... these kids have no idea how cool todays movies are to have
Ficking love it man. This guy helps captain out so he steals his car lol. I laughed out loud on a bus from that.
The corn muffin I ate while seeing this film had better flavor. :)
ah yes... the italian RED SKULL and the rubber ears
One of the best GBF "ending" clips.
2:16 Lt. Colonel Gunther... hilarious.
I like the one where he has the motorcycle and M16 better.
4:30 - answer for question: yeah, or so did Nick Spencer creating whole "Secret Empire" event... but that's a whole other story.
As bad as this film is, watching it when it came out, and as someone who had even then been a Marvel fan for thirty years, it was very gratifying that the makers were at least trying to stick to the legend as much as they could. The world was different then; superheroes didn't have the acceptability with a mass audience that they do now.
Great video! This movie seems more like a spoof than a Comic Book Movie. XD
Reb Brown is the real Captain America!!!!
I saw this movie as a kid, it was good, I liked it. However, I admit if I saw it today I probably wouldn't enjoy it as much.
Love this episode
Stan Lee had a cameo.
of course XD
But what about those Reb Brown Captan America films?
But the 1994 version of Fantastic four film was never released in theaters or on home-video but the fantastic four 1994 version should be burn in the studio vault!
Its not that bad!
I never knew the 2010 cap movie was a remake of this one. The plot is crazy similar haha
I watched this movie many years ago. Some how I thought the Red Skull was played by Henry Silva. I apologise to Mr Silva.
They finally got it right with The First Avenger...
Gr8 vid as per man ...Capt America The Winter Soldier = my fav Marvel movie to date ,frikkin loved it
"Batman" was the #1 highest grossing movie of 1989. Not the second.
Domestically, yes. However worldwide it was #2 behind Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade
@@GoodBadFlicks You're so full of...accuracy.
I try to do my homework as best I can :)
lol,a V1 from Germany reaches America, they could barley hit London from the French coast. I used to like this movie back in the day
And how did a v-1 missile fly far enough to hit D.C?
