Inspired Moments, Terrible Movies: Captain America

So there I was at 2 a.m. on a Saturday night watching Teletoon with the dull boyfriend of a friend who lay passed out somewhere in the back. Fortunately Captain America, the 1990 abomination of a live-action film starring J.D. Salinger's son Matt, is hilarious and on at this time.

So Captain America, in full rubber suit, has presumably just woken up from a deep (cryogenic) freeze and wandered into what we're told is the Canadian wilderness. After narrowly escaping the line of fire of a bunch of dirt bike-riding Nazis, the Captain hitches a ride with Ned Beatty, sent by the President (of the United States) to retrieve the good Captain. Of course, the Captain is too culture-shocked by all of this. Come on, Japatronics in the car?! Shudder, for the good Captain. Naturally, he suspects Ned Beatty of actually being an Axis spy. So the Captain tells Ned Beatty, "I'm feeling sick" and Ned Beatty pulls his truck over. The Captain runs behind the truck, oh let's say a good 20 yards away, and bends over ready to heave. And he waits. Ned Beatty comes to check on him. Once Ned Beatty reaches him, then the Captain makes his move. He dashes back to the car, while jolly, rotund ol' Ned Beatty watches in bewilderment, and the Captain drives that truck away. All the way to sunny California.
