I am officially a huge fan of MC Esoteric, an MC who makes interesting Youtube videos featuring his passions for hip-hop and vintage toys. I posted a Blog about one particular music video he created, which features several plots: One storyline is the trials a "General Zod" fan/collector faces, while attempting to visit a Flea Market selling General Zod merchandise. The second storyline features MC Esoteric rhyming about selling toys 'back in the day.'

Not only does it include Mego Spider-Man, Iron Man and Falcon, the track is really catchy (using the music of Gary Numan, a personal fave), amusing lyrics and samples from "Superman II." However, there's a sample (from a movie, presumably) at the very end of the clip, with which I'm utterly unfamiliar.

Can anyone tell me where he sampled the clip of two kids trying to identify a super-hero? Here's the clip, embedded in the Blog:

Thanks in advance.

It's from the horrible Albert Pyun Captain America movie from 1990.

Is that the one with Matt Salinger as Captain America?!

It wasn't that bad. Oh wait. Maybe it was that bad. Sigh.

Thanks, Brian!

I liked it when I first saw it but honestly a movie that opens and closes with too brief action scenes ( I don't count when he's out of costume) where the camera can't seem to linger (a Pyun trait) doesn't make for a memorable superhero flick. Some good things about it (the scene sampled) but when Reb Brown out actions your movie, it's a problem.

I haven't seen that Cap movie since the early 90s, but I recall it having some decent potenital, but it was just...off. Like Superman IV. It had that same "they think they're making a good movie, but they are wrong" vibe about it.
