5. The Punisher (1989)
Do you have a desire watch a gooey action film in which Dolph Lundgren murders many Yakuza gang members? In that case, the 1989 adaptation of Marvel Comics’ The Punisher is your most solid option. Lundgren plays Frank Castle, a lamenting cop who takes revenge on wrongdoing for his family’s death by driving his bike starting with one action set piece then onto the next. The best fight in the film might be Lundgren’s battle with the English dialect. Added to this were the internal clashes endured by his co-star and previous Academy Award victor Louis Gossett Jr. In case this wasn’t called The Punisher, this would practically be indistinguishable from many different 1980s action films. Watch any Death Wish sequel and you’ll get the point.
6. Captain America (1990)
The 1990 adaptation of Captain America was intended to be a noteworthy theater release. However, it went straight-to-video. Why? Simply because it’s awful. The story tells a familiar story of would-be warrior Steve Rogers taking an extraordinary serum, getting to be superhero Captain America and going ahead to battle his Nazi enemy the Red Skull. Besides the very low budget, the film’s most prominent blemish is giving Matt Salinger a role as an altogether uncharismatic Captain America. As his surname suggests, Salinger is the child of the late J.D. Salinger, writer of The Catcher in the Rye. Watching only a couple of minutes is sufficient to make you ponder whether his legacy was the main reason he got the role. Apart from tossing his shield and gazing blankly at individuals, Salinger’s Captain America holds a one of a kind superpower: the capacity to fake sickness to commander cars. What a legend!
