Kick off your Fourth of July weekend with Captain America and the Mocky Horror Picture Show!
Long before every other movie that hit the theaters had a Marvel logo on it, director Albert Pyun turned his cinematic eye towards Marvel Comics and released a big-screen adaptation of Captain America starring Matt Salinger as America's number one hero with a shield. It hit the big screen in 1990 and as they say in Hollywood, the results were...not good. Capt. America undergoes an experimental, super-serum treatment to turn him into an all-American warrior and he still comes out looking like he did before the operation. Entertainment Weekly called the film's story a "shapeless blob of a plot." Cap's foe Red Skull (Scott Paulin) has a face made from cheap latex that makes him look like a walking aneurysm.
That means it's perfect for the Mocky Horror Picture Show, Dallas' only, live, interactive, movie comedy show featuring comedians Liz Barksdale, Danny Gallagher and Albie Robles making fun of a movie in the theater while you watch it! The Mocky Horror show also throws up prompts during the movie so the audience can yell lines, throw stuff at the screen and make fun of the movie with them along with a few other surprises.
See the Mocky Horror Picture Show's live public mockery of this infamous "Captain America" adaptation long before Disney got its glove-covered mitts on it at 9:15 pm on Thursday, June 29th at the Texas Theatre in Oak Cliff. Tickets are available at the box office or thetexastheatre.com and prekindle.com/event/42774-mocky-horror-picture-show-riffs-captain-america-1990-dallas
