Trivia
According to Reb Brown at Comic-Con, the studios were planning two crossover movies. Captain America (Reb Brown) and Spider-Man (Nicholas Hammond) from The Amazing Spider-Man (1977). The second was Captain America (Brown) and Lou Ferrigno/Bill Bixby from The Incredible Hulk (1978). Unfortunately, neither of these ever materialized.

Goofs
When Captain America is trying to stop the truck, he radios in to Dr. Mills to tell him that he had dropped his bike and it needed to be picked up. Moments later, he bends an exhaust pipe to an open vent to make the passenger ill. With the volume that Captain America had to speak into the radio, the passenger should have heard him talking and been able to react to his being there.

Quotes

Captain America Lives On

For better or worse (depending on who you talk to)this was my generation's Captain American, just like Nicholas Hammond was Spiderman. It was a good popcorn TV show, action and adventure and a suped up motorcycle. Everything an 11 year old kid loves. I have since rewatched the series and it still has those elements of interest. No it will not compare to a feature film shot in 2007 but then special effects and the era itself was different. Yes Reb Brown is bland and not a very good actor but then Mark Hamill was rather unimpressive as Luke Skywalker but you still enjoyed it. I certainly hope these shows like Captain America and Spiderman make it to DVD. By the way, Sam Raimi would you please give a cameo to Nicholas Hammond in a future Spiderman movie, he was our generation's Spiderman as I hope Lynda Carter will be given a chance to appear in the upcoming Wonder Woman movie.
