Now, I did know that this 1979 movie "Captain America" from director Rod Holcomb existed, but I have never actually had the chance to sit down and watch it before now in 2024. And when the opportunity presented itself for me to watch it, of course I jumped at the chance to do so.
Of course I was expecting to be in for a super campy and cheese movie here. I mean, just look at the movie's cover, Captain America is wearing a moped helmet for the love of Stan Lee.
The storyline in "Captain America" was not a particularly exciting one. Sure, it was a watchable enough movie, though it was campy and cheesy to be sure. Watchable for what it was, writers Don Ingalls and Chester Krumholz didn't exactly put together anything memorable or outstanding here.
I think of the entire cast ensemble then I was only familiar with actor Steve Forrest (playing Lou Brackett). The acting performances in the movie were actually fair.
The costume design in this 1979 movie is just hilarious. Captain America looks like someone would be warming up the audience before Evel Knievel would come out and perform his bike stunt. I especially love that moped helmet he is wearing. Well, at least they tried. As Dr. Simon Mills (played by Len Birman) said, "Be Captain America, Steve..."
The 1979 movie "Captain America" is a movie that will never find its way back to my screen a second time. Now that I've seen it, I can check it off of my watched-movies-list and let it fade into sweet oblivion.
My rating of "Captain America", from director Rod Holcomb, lands on a three out of ten stars.
