"Captain America: New World Order" It is only a few weeks away, returning the man with a starvet on the big screen in his own solo venture for nearly a decade. Of course, it will be Sam Wilson on Anthony Mackie, who wears the suit and throws the shield this time, rather than Chris Evans. Regardless, every sub-series of Marvel's Universe Cinem, which receives a fourth installment, is a big deal ... Although there was a greater length of features Movies "Captain America" than only those produced by Marvel Studios.

Yes, today we are talking about the 1990s Captain America, the US $ 3 million post directed by the late B-movie legend Albert Pyun. Although the film was conceived as a theater edition, those plans changed when production hit financial problems, leading to a showdown from directly to video. The planned $ 40m budget was canceled late in planning, condemning the project from the beginning. These days, the film is considered more than funny iOsubocity, as well as an example of what the 21st century comic books looked like.

That, he said, a little restored interest in the film recently emerged with the discovery of alternative cutting - the one published by director and film historian Justin Atastin Declaration. This intersection, closer to the original vision of Pun, is wildly different, but does it make Captain America less than chaos? Let's get into that.

The official, video edition of Captain America is, in a way, quite similar to the plot of the first MCU movies. In other ways, of course, it is wildly different and completely confusing. The story begins during World War II, with Steve Rogers (Matt Salinger) receiving his super soldier Serum - the same formula, as we learn, it was responsible for turning an innocent Italian child into the wicked red skull (Scott Paulin) through a series of fascist experiments. In the first act, Captain America travels in hostile territory, Nazi battles, facing a red skull and is defeated, eventually tied to a rocket fired at the White House. Through the pure force, Steve manages to divert the rocket course, landing in the Alaska Tundra, where it is frozen alive.

It's all only in the first 30 minutes.

The rest of the film takes place decades later after Steve Tops. The red skull remains at liberty, now leading a criminal organization responsible for, among other things, Fon Fon assassinations. Kennedy and Martin Luther King. . to the president. On the way, there are some famous plots, including Steve, meeting with a military girl who is now married and aging, she becomes romantically involved with her daughter (she is a granddaughter in MCU, but still), and he constantly steals another People's cars by moving the illness, attracting them out, then jumping on the driver's seat and taking.

Okay, yes, this is the last thing only in this movie.

While Captain America's plot is pretty clear (if it's a little chaos), the execution is where it really stumbles. The suits are home -made bad Halloween level, action scenes ridiculously choreographed and troubled, and the script is just funny. I mean, Steve Rogers literally steals two different Cars of two differentCharacters with good faces by dragging the same "i'me to be sick" a little.

Many of these problems clearly come from the budget dramatically dramatically in the last second, but despite that, they are not too divergent than what most films with comics at the time looked. Tim Baton's "Batman" just came out the previous year, drawing attention to a big budget, a high profile of the genre and Christopher Reeve "Superman" movies She apparently retained the main cultural cash to the early 1990s, but Marvel failed to find anywhere near the same level of success as DC.

In addition to "Batman", 1989 saw the release of a live film, with direct-video "Punisher" starring Delf Lundgren. While that adaptation is also generally considered, it still becomes a kind of cult classic due to partially, recognizing the status of the Lundgren Starvers (intended). It wasn't until Blade in 1998 and "X-Men" in 2000, Marvel really began to attend a large screen.

Albert Pun's "Captain America" ​​has long been iosubopity for comic book fans and Lovers' films, but recently gained a renewed level of interest with the director's original interruption. Discovered by director and film historian JustinAstein Decax through A. Letterboxd Overview of the film in December 2024, this alternative cut is much more experimental and less linear.

Among other things, this version covers the scenes of World War II during the "Today's" part of the film, in parallel with different moments as the various fights between the Red Skull and Captain America. Steve Rogers' Nemesis also gets a more tragic portrait, and the overall emotional bow is more topical coherent, according to a declaration, who wrote a book about Pun's work and is a friend with the deceased director's wife. "I'm not saying that this version will change everybody's mind for the film because, if anything, it doubles a lot of things that people don't like," wrote a LotterboxD declaration. "But God, in his original crop, you can see an original author's intention to make impossible production, to the extent that all Albert's films can be the most emotionally coherent!"

Time will tell if we will ever see the proper announcement of the original intersection of Pyun. If nothing else, it seems to be a fun part of the history of the superhero cinema that would be great to have available. Captain America's film history returns away from MCU and in 1990, with an even previous pair of TV films starring Reb Brown that aired in 1979. With the full release of this alternative cut of the film in 1990, another version of Captain American history on the screen will be returned to the masses.
