xtrasCaptain America: Albert Pyun Cut
In one of its first theatrical screenings ever, the director's cut of Albert Pyun's ill-fated 1990 CAPTAIN AMERICA film emerges from a deep, frozen slumber. While the original release is considered one of the worst superhero movies ever made, this long-lost version restores the verve, tragedy, and depth of the movie Pyun always intended to make. We're delighted to celebrate the late Albert Pyun as one of the greatest Asian American filmmakers: a man who understood how to bring comic books to the screen long before the MCU.
