- "Return to Chile Verde" (20:11, SD) is made up of two interviews with actor Tab Hunter and producer Allan Glaser, with the latter dominating the informational flow, discussing his initial viewing of "Polyester" and his major surprise to be working with Divine a few years later. First impressions of the script are shaped, and Glaser details his interactions with Divine, with the performer eager to get to work as soon as possible, only to have "Lust in the Dust" run into financing troubles. John Waters was offered the film to direct, but quickly turned it down, dashing hopes for another "Polyester." Lainie Kazan's casting is examined, and makeup and costuming achievements are celebrated, with Divine wearing heavy prosthetic breasts underneath her outfits during the shoot. Location challenges are covered, and more in-depth analysis of Divine is provided, including reflections on health issues, performance ambitions, and camaraderie. The opening of "Lust in the Dust" is also shared, with New World Pictures failing to make the movie a hit.
- "More Lust, Less Dust" (15:09, SD) is the making-of for "Lust in the Dust," with recollections provided by Glaser, Hunter, Kazan, executive producer James Katz, and actress Gina Gallego. More in-depth information is provided here concerning the development of the picture, including an attempt to fully Waters-ize the endeavor by casting Edith Massey in a prime supporting role. Production atmosphere and accomplishments are also explored.
- "The Importance of Being Paul" (16:12, SD) is a celebration of director Paul Bartel, with family, friends, and industry connections (including Roger Corman and Mary Woronov) sharing major love for the helmer and his unique presence in Hollywood. While life and times are examined, most of the featurette concentrates on Bartel's career, participating in "Death Race 2000," "Cannonball," "Eating Raoul," and "Scenes from the Class Struggle in Beverly Hills." Bartel's latter years are also highlighted, where he worked to mount new indie projects in a changing moviemaking landscape.
