The “Captain America” pilot is absolutely hilarious. Reb Brown is artist Steve Rogers. He’s tall and brawny, but he walks like a Neanderthal man and looks a tad dim.

Back in the 1940s, Steve’s dad was the legendary hero Captain America. Bad guys are looking for the late Rogers Senior’s secrets and they try to kill poor Steve. Dr. Simon Mills (Len Birman) saves Steve by injecting the mysterious FLAG serum into him. This gives Steve super powers -- unlike the Steve Rogers in the comics and in Joe Johnston’s new movie, Reb Brown’s Steve already is a beefcake before the experiment.

“Captain America” was supposed to open theatrically, but it was ditched straight to video in the States, after spending a few years on a dusty shelf. Most other countries did the same, but it’s of course possible it played theaters in some countries. The movie has a reputation of being bad, cheap and stupid, and after having seen it, I must say that it’s … Well, it’s pretty bad, cheap and stupid, but it’s not that bad. It’s not boring -- and as you all now, boring movies are always worse than bad movies. When it comes to Albert Pyun, you never know what you get.
