Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaDavid Hasselhoff later made a cameo in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 (2017) as himself.
- GoofsViper uses the venom of a Columbian tree frog to poison Nick Fury but the secretion from these frogs, at best, can really irritate your eyes or skin if touched but not kill. Now, if she'd used the venom of the South American Golden Poison Frog, which contains enough poison to kill ten men, Fury would have been dead in seconds.

Jack Pincer: So, we meet again, Fury.
Nick Fury: Well, I'm not surprised, Pincer. Guys like you tend to cling to the bowl no matter how many times you flush.

Featured review
Unbelievably Disappointing
Marvel's hard-boiled hero (David Hasselhoff) is brought to TV. He is brought back to fight the menace of Hydra after exiling himself in the Yukon since the end of the Cold War. The children of the former Hydra head, Baron Von Stucker, have taken charge of the terrorist organization.
I did not expect much from this one. A made-for-TV movie starring David Hasselhoff that never made it to DVD... that should be a series of red flags that scream "terrible movie". But I figured it would be entertaining -- not good, but bad enough to be fun. Instead, it was just bad.
Hasselhoff did alright and actually looks a lot like Nick Fury (with all due respect to Samuel L. Jackson, who now ones the role). The general plot was good. The effects were weak (but not awful). The biggest mystery is Sandra Hess' voice -- she was born in Switzerland, but has no ability whatsoever to have a German accent.
Watching this with two non-comic book fans made another shortcoming abundantly clear: the film did not adequately explain what Hydra or SHIELD were. I know because I grew up reading comics, but within the film it is not very obvious who is who and what is what. I am also unclear about Baron von Strucker being born in 1932... that makes him a bit young to be a Nazi serving alongside Hitler.
