Captain America as the idealistic man out of time already works so well on the silver screen. But what if he were a rogue super soldier bent on revenge? This trailer reimagines Captain America: Winter Soldier as a cheesy '80s action flick a la Die Hard and RoboCop, complete with a tough-as-nails voiceover, Wilhelm screams, and people getting kicked through exploding plate glass windows. If this were actually becoming a movie it would almost definitely be a flop. Still, if John McClane is Steve Rogers in some far-flung parallel dimension, we want to visit it.
