Some Captain America fan is gonna have a lousy Christmas!

It's bound to happen. Some poor shlub is going to ask for the Captain America movie for Christmas and some unwitting mother is going to proudly find the DVD with not just one Captain America film, but two; that has to be twice as good, right? Well, merry Christmas, Junior! You just got hosed. Don't get me wrong, there are plenty of people out there who would love to own this extra cheesy 1979 double-feature simply because they are hardcore Captain America fans or for reasons of nostalgia (of course, not a lot of young kids out feeling nostalgic for late 70s TV movies); either way there is a natural order to things. MOMS, if you're child asks for Captain America for the holidays, please assume that he means Captain America: The First Avenger starring Chris Evans (write that down: "Chris...Evans") coming to Blu-ray and DVD on October 25, 2011 and not, in fact, some amazing two for one deal. More is not always better. Now, if you would like to get this little gem as a nice compliment to the already purchased Evans movie for your Cap fan, that would be just fine and dandy. Just remember that Shout Factory has put this out on October 18, one week prior to the new movie, just to cash in on unsuspecting consumers such as yourself having a week to think that this is the only Cap movie out there. It's not. You've been warned.
