On Syfy this weekend


SyFy is taking advantage of the new Captain America movie by showing this movie and the 1990 Movie this weekend (July, 22 2011)

Yep, I'm watching this movie right now on Syfy (must have started at 2:00 PM). I used to think Reb was bad at acting (watch Space Mutiny enough times and you'll get that impression), but he really did a decent job with Captain America II.

Space Mutiny was a terribly written and acted movie by most of the cast - Reb did pretty much the best he could with it.

Captain America II is much better than I thought it would be. Viewers who are spoiled with special effects will pan it because they don't realize or care there weren't digital effects in the late 70s.

I saw it too. Was flipping the channels and saw the first movie. DVR'd the last 20 minutes of it but got Death Too Soon in its entirety. Loved the music in both. The opening music in both films was the same, especially the scenery of Steve driving his van along the California coast was re-used from the first movie for budget purposes, and it brought back great memories of my childhood since I saw both these TV movies when they originally came out (I was 9 in 1979). I think Mike Post composed the music because some parts heard in DTS when Steve is beating up the bad guys after being pushed to the breaking point sounded similar to music heard in the A-Team.
