The other Captain America movie - this 1973 Turkish version in which he teams up with a Mexican wrestler and fights evil Spiderman

It's called 3 Dev Adam (wiki), which, apparently, means 3 Giant (or Mighty) Men; an alternative title is Captain America and Santo vs. Spider-Man. SpiderMan, whose bushy eyebrows pop through the eye-holes of his mask, is on a crime spree: he steals golden statues, attacks strippers in strip clubs, and murders people with shower nozzles, speedboat motors, and guinea pigs.

Naturally, the legendary super-hero team of Captain America and El Santo (a Mexican wrestler and folk icon, per Wikipedia) are called in to take care of business. According to the Amazon listing:
Istanbul is being terrorized by a crime wave led by Spiderman and the police call in American superhero Captain America and Mexican wrestler Santo to put a stop to it.
If you don't have time to watch the whole clip (it's only 4 minutes), start at 2:10 to see the evil Spiderman torture some guy with a guinea pig. Captain America shows up at 2:58. The entire movie is embedded below this clip.



Here's the whole thing, with English subtitles:
