Special Features

• Audio Commentary: Director Joe Johnston, Director of Photography Shelly Johnson, and Editor Jeffrey Ford deliver a fairly light but informative track. The three jump right into delivering a technically-oriented commentary that shares various filmmaking secrets, the picture's extensive special effects (including the arduous process of shooting "skinny Steve"), shooting locales, the performances of the cast, subtle touches inspired by the comics, anecdotes from the set, and plenty more. This is a solid but, at the same time, rather unspectacular commentary in that it's fairly indicative of the average track. Fans will want to give it a listen, but it's not one of the all-time great tracks.
• Marvel One-Shot: A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to Thor's Hammer (1080p, 4:03): A short film with a comic edge about a convenience store robbery.
• Outfitting a Hero (1080p, 10:52): A thorough, enjoyable, and informative behind-the-scenes piece looking at the history of the character's costume and the evolution and development of the Captain's in-movie suit.
• Howling Commandos (1080p, 6:07): A brief piece that looks at the supporting players who come to Captain America's aid throughout the movie.
• Heightened Technology (1080p, 5:43): This brief supplement looks at the "secret arms race" that plays out in the film and the resultant future-inspired weapons and vehicles that appear in the movie.
• The Transformation (1080p, 8:50): A solid supplement that offers an in-depth look at the process of digitally shrinking Actor Chris Evans for the film's first act.
• Behind the Skull (1080p, 10:24): A look back at the history of Red Skull, casting the role, and creating the character's right look for the movie.
• Captain America's Origin (1080p, 3:55): Captain America Co-Creator Joe Simon looks back at the history of the character in comics, and the piece ends with red carpet interviews with Simon's friends and family.
• The Assembly Begins (1080p, 1:46): A short look ahead towards The Avengers.
• Deleted Scenes (1080p, 5:32): Attack in Norway, The Battle at Azzano, Steve Rogers Gets his Medal, and Steve Rogers Meets Nick Fury. Available with optional Director, D.P., and Editor commentary, except for Steve Rogers Meets Nick Fury.
• Trailers (1080p): Theatrical Trailer 1 (2:35), Theatrical Trailer 2 (2:35), Sega Game Trailer (2:18), and The Avengers Animated Trailer (1:19).
• Digital Copy: Sampled on an iPhone 4, the video proved quite good, with minimal compression artifacts and adequate detailing and colors. On the other hand, audio was bland and hollow. A few effects -- Stark speaking over a microphone at the fair near the beginning of the movie -- were satisfactory in terms of spacing and clarity, but this obviously pales in comparison to the Blu-ray soundtrack. Still, it's more than adequate for a long plane ride or wherever a two-hour movie might come in handy.
