No. I knew what we were up against. I was only disillusioned that the released version tried to make the material into a "super hero" movie, which ran counter to what the skin was about. We almost put "Imagine" by John Lennon in the film. We actually screened my cut for the representatives of the Lennon estate; they agreed to let us use it, but the licensing was too up-market.

I was already off making another film, so it never entered my consciousness. I was not aware of it and felt nothing about it, except I knew I had my own copy of the film. I also never had the want to be theatrical. I think my main regret is that it wasn't my version of the film that was released.

The film has become rather ignominious for its unintentionally funny and bizarre twists, including Captain America faking an upset hunger to steal cars from friends at two different points in the movie, and Red Skull apparently being responsible for all the evils in the earth, including the deaths of Martin Luther King and JFK. Do you shake your head at how the film ultimately turned out, or towards embarrassed over certain scenes? Source: Rotten Tomatoes
