Captain America comes to Blu-ray on May 21st, courtesy of Shout! Factory!

On May 21st, YOU can own CAPTAIN AMERICA on Blu-ray, thanks to those magnificent bastards at SHOUT! FACTORY! Previously available on DVD, this Blu-ray will feature better picture and audio (well, no duh!) and have a few extras. And for only $10 - $12, Albert Pyun's rubber-eared first avenger flick is most definitely worth it.

Synopsis:
Long ago, Steve Rogers (Matt Salinger) was a true American hero, a brave super soldier created by scientists to help the Allied Forces fight for freedom in World War II. But during a battle with the sinister Red Skull (Scott Paulin), he was lost, entombed in ice. Decades later, his body has been found and revived and Steve must again don the mantle of Captain America to help save the President of the United States (Ronny Cox) — and the world — from his arch-nemesis once and for all.

Press Release:
Steve Rogers happens to be the best candidate out of six hundred volunteers. He has the power to save millions. Only he could defeat a superhuman madman. But saving the world let him trapped in an icy grave until fate released him to finish a battle that started decades ago. Now an evil genius in on the verge of global domination and only Captain America can stop him! On May 21, 2013, Shout! Factory will unleash the long-awaited 1990 action sci-fi movie classic CAPTAIN AMERICA, starring Matt Salinger (What Dreams May Come), Ronny Cox (Total Recall, RoboCop), Ned Beatty (Toy Story 3, Superman), Darren McGavin (The X-Files), Michael Nouri (NCIS, Damages) and Scott Paulin (Castle, JAG), in a special Collector’s Edition Blu-ray.

Available for the first time on Blu-ray, CAPTAIN AMERICA COLLECTOR’S EDITION features a widescreen movie presentation in astonishing high-definition and insightful new interview with director Albert Pyun and actor Matt Salinger. This is a must-have for movie collectors, comic book enthusiasts and young aspiring heroes to complete their pop culture library!

You can pre-order the Captain America Blu-ray HERE at Amazon.com for the low, low price of $10.48! I know I'll be picking it up because I have a soft spot for this b-movie version of Cap, even if he is kind of a wuss. (The paragon of human strength, virtue, and democracy fakes being carsick twice in order to steal a vehicle!)
