11 Lame Comic Book Movies You Had No Idea Even Existed

11. Captain America (1990)

CaptainAmerica1990 Who's the first actor that springs to mind when you think "Captain America." It's Matt Salinger, right? You know, son of author J.D. Salinger, the guy who wrote Catcher In The Rye. It isn't Matt Salinger? Bizarre that that's not the actor you're thinking of, considering that he's the guy who played the iconic role in that '90s version of Captain America that nobody has ever seen or heard of. This version of the Steve Rogers story takes a few liberties with the Captain's origin story - nothing huge, just, you know, the Red Skull is Italian now, and he was captured by the Nazis as a child€ little, unimportant details like that. Set in both the 1940s and the present (and by the present, I am referring to a horrifically-realised 1993), this is somehow the best and worst movie ever made all rolled into one for your added convenience. For some reason it also stars 2 out of 4 members of the cast of Deliverance (what were the producers trying to tell us?), and hand-to-hand combat sequences that appeared to have been choreographed by that kid from your school who dressed in a trench coat and thought he was Neo from The Matrix.
