Nick Fury: Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. is a 1998 American film starring David Hasselhoff. It is based on the comic book adventures of the Marvel Comics character Nick Fury, director of S.H.I.E.L.D. [1]

[edit] Plot
Nick Fury, retired, is approached to return to duty to take down agents of the terrorist organization HYDRA, led by the children of Baron Wolfgang von Strucker, an old enemy of his. HYDRA has reconstituted a pathogen known as the Death's Head virus, and threatens to attack Manhattan with it, barring payment of US $1 billion.
[edit] Cast
[edit] Differences between the comics and the film
HYDRA appears with black Men in Black-type suits, rather than the green uniform from the comics. Andreas did not appear, but Andrea did have a younger brother named Werner (in the comics the twins had an older half-brother named Werner). The two had no apparent mutant powers. Andrea was codenamed Viper. Arnim Zola appears as Dr. Arnim Zola, an elderly HYDRA chemist responsible for the creation of the Death's Head virus. Baron Strucker's body is shown frozen in a chamber. In the final scene of the movie, he is brought back to life. In comics, Dugan has red hair, moustache and a bowler hat. None are present in the movie.
[edit] DVD release
On September 30, 2008, the film was released on DVD exclusively at Best Buy stores.[3]
[edit] Notation:
There appears to have been another telefilm, of the Nick Fury character/storyline. This, by eye witness account, also starring David Hasselhoff. This version was of 1970's decade, but references are missing, and unavailable in a cursory search. References supporting this would be appreciated. The version appears to have been shown very rarely, and not beyond the 1980's decade.
