This serial has nothing to do with the original comic book Captain America but is still entertaining. Some people considered the star, Dick Purcell, to be pudgy but this is simply not so. He just had a more realistic body type than a male growth hormone guzzling freak like Sylvester Stallone. The men of Dick Purcell's era had survived the Great Depression and when they were hungry they ate meat and potatoes. Go take a look at your own gut sometime!
Overall, Purcell made a pretty ... Read More

"Captain America" (1944) bears virtually no resemblance to the original comic-book hero. However, this 15-chapter serial delivers plenty of action in the classic Republic tradition. Cap does not have his mighty shield, but his fists make a powerful impression as he takes on the evil Scarab - played to the hilt by Lionel Atwill.

the other thing is if you love the comicbook then be ready for this,this is not the captain america from the comic.his name is different and he isn't a product of a super soldier serum like the comic. otherwise this is great ... Read More

Captain America was one of the most popular comics during WWII as he battled his arch-foe the Red Skull and other stereotypical Nazi villians. He got his powers by drinking a super soldier formula.
Unfortunately this Republic serial bares little resemblance to the comics. Captain America is no longer Steve Rogers, the goldbrick soldier...he is Grant Gardner, a Discrict Attorney. He's no longer battling Nazi villians bent on world domination, but common, every day crooks....What's more is ... Read More
