Shout! Factory will be putting this out, and the release date has been updated to October 18, just over a month away. Starring Reb Brown as Steve Rogers, these films update the setting to the then-current 70s, giving Captain America a motorcycle (and winged helmet) to go with his traditional shield (now part-transparent plastic, not metal).
