Captain America (1979)

When former Marine Steve Rogers is in an accident, his only hope for recovery is an injection of the FLAG superserum — created years ago by his own father — which enhances each of his senses, as well as gives him great strength and fast reflexes. And to help him bring his attackers to justice, a government agency outfits him with a motorcycle and powerful shield, then turns the newly formed Captain America loose on the nation’s enemies.

Stars Reb Brown (Yor, The Hunter From The Future) and Len Birman

Captain America II: Death Too Soon (1979)

Captain America returns to carry on the legacy of his father and defend the country — this time, however, he faces off against the terrorist known only as Miguel and the threat of a chemical agent that rapidly ages those who come in contact with it.

Featuring Christopher Lee (Lord Of The Rings) as the villainous Miguel

When Captain America throws his mighty shield,
All those who chose oppose his shield must yield.
If he's lead to a fight and a duel is due,
Then the red and white and the blue'll come through.

I remember watching these when they came out. I was only 7 at the time and thought that both movies sucked. And these were made for tv movies.

This actually has better continuity with Captain America the First Avenger than X-men FC has with any other X-man film. At least this is his son (probably from that slut he signed an autograph for in the film).
And this Cap flies a hang glider and does not crash it just to get frozen!

Except for the helmet, the '79 version costume looks better than the one in the new Avengers movie and the guy playing Captain America looks muscular enough to play him - sorry Chris Evans.
