- Commentary One - in this new audio commentary, critic Troy Howarth shares plenty of information about the production of Ilsa, The Wicked Warden and Jess Franco's treatment of Dyanne Thorne's character, as well as evolution of the women-in-prison films and the popularity of the Ilsa films. Also, throughout the commentary, Howarth shares good information about the locations seen in Ilsa, The Wicked Warden and its distribution history.
- Commentary Two - this archival audio commentary was recorded by Dyanne Thorne and actor Howard Maurer, and is moderated by critic Martin Lewis. The commentators rightfully point out that Ilsa, The Wicked Warden was not conceived to be associated with the previous two Ilsa films, Ilsa: She Wolf of the SS and Ilsa, Harem Keeper of the Oil Sheiks, and discuss its confusing production history in Portugal and complicated distirbution history. Later in the audio commentary, there are also very interesting comments about Jess Franco's working methods and the many interesting actors he liked to cast for his films.
