Rare Captain America TV movies coming to DVD

And I thought I knew everything about superhero movies…

Shout! Factory has released a press announcement that on October 18th, to coincide with Captain America: The First Avenger‘s Blu-ray/DVD release, are releasing a Captain America double-bill DVD of the two rarely seen late ’70s TV movies on the Marvel Comics character.

Captain America

When former Marine Steve Rogers is in an accident, his only hope for recovery is an injection of the FLAG superserum — created years ago by his own father — which enhances each of his senses, as well as gives him great strength and fast reflexes. And to help him bring his attackers to justice, a government agency outfits him with a motorcycle and powerful shield, then turns the newly formed Captain America loose on the nation’s enemies.

It stars Reb Brown (Yor, The Hunter From The Future) and Len Birman!

Captain America II: Death Too Soon

Captain America returns to carry on the legacy of his father and defend the country — this time, however, he faces off against the terrorist known only as Miguel and the threat of a chemical agent that rapidly ages those who come in contact with it.

It stars horror legend Christopher Lee (Lord Of The Rings) as the villainous Miguel!

I’m morbidly curious. Check out the films below:

God Bless Shout! Factory.

I love film. That is all.
