The Rocketeer Gets The Treatment It Deserves

One of my personal favourite films is finally getting a release. Thanks Disney! (Via)

A couple of days ago, me and my dad were talking about our favourite films we don't own. Rocketeer came up, and it was one neither of us had in our collections. We were waiting for a really cool VHS edition which was never released in the UK(probably because of how poorly the movie performed), then a really cool DVD release that was never released in the UK, then the Blu-ray release which has just been announced.

This cult film, based off the classic comic, see's a stunt pilot living in 1930's California finds a stolen jet-pack and uses the device to fight gangsters and Nazis as The Rocketeer. It's really damn good, and if you enjoyed the Captain America film you'll love this more because it has an actual showdown at the end, unliked that awful Red Skull battle.

Though no features have been announced, the Decemeber 13, 2011 couldn't come fast enough. This movie has left a gaping hole in my film collection. Time to fill it out.
