Back in 1998 FOX was considering a Nick Fury TV series.
The show never happened, but a pilot did get filmed and aired on the channel, and in the years afterward was rerun quite a bit on various cable channels--Syfy, the ENCORE Channels, and so on, which was where I happened to catch it.
It starred David Hasselhoff as Fury, Lisa Rinna as Contessa De Fontaine, Sandra Hess as the Hydra leader Baroness Von Strucker.
The film was, of course, a '90s-era TV movie, not a $400 million Avengers production in an age of "If you can picture it, they can realize it for you in CGI" visual effects, but I remember it being reasonably effective within its technical and budgetary limitations, and striking an appealing tone--not taking itself too seriously, but not getting irritatingly goofy, either, as Fury and friends saved the world yet again.
