Special Features:
  • Audio Interview (91:42) with writer/director/star James Bond III is presented as commentary of sorts, covering his career and the making of "Def by Temptation," with the interviewee participating via cell phone.
  • "Ernest & Lloyd" (20:18, SD) is an undated conversation between cinematographer Ernest Dickerson and Troma president Lloyd Kaufman, who records the chat with his own camcorder, while another camera photographs the two of them in an office setting. Dickerson sharing his professional history, eventually finding work on Spike Lee's "School Daze," which co-starred James Bond III. The cinematographer highlights his leadership over the visual aspects of "Def by Temptation," and his absence during the feature's reshoots over a year after principal photography concluded, with Kaufman taking over to help "monster" the movie up. The endeavor was shot in a single neighborhood using Laurence Fishburne's house, and Dickerson shares a few anecdotes about the production adventure, which endured an overflowing toilet and stolen equipment. Kaufman is quick to praise the film, and details the fight to get the VHS into stores reluctant to stock it.
  • Interview (2:08, SD) with film historian Michael Gingold is a brief summary of themes and production achievements found in "Def by Temptation," including the revelation that a monster from "Sgt. Kabukiman N.Y.P.D." was reused for the movie's climax.
  • Article Gallery (1:00) collects several reviews and newspaper ads for "Def by Temptation."
