- Commentaries
- With Director Steve De Jarnatt and Film Critic Walter Chaw: Chaw writes for Film Freak Central and has published an entire book devoted to Miracle Mile. He and De Jarnatt discuss the film's imagery and themes and their relation both to De Jarnatt's other work (which, besides Cherry 2000, consists primarily of short fiction) and to other films of the Eighties. Chaw is a fine interviewer, one who uses his extensive knowledge to prompt the writer/director, then gets out of the way to let him speak.
- With Director Steve De Jarnatt, Director of Photography Theo Van de Sande and Production Designer Chris Horner: This commentary focuses on technique and logistics as De Jarnatt and his DP and designer recall the numerous ways they stretched a $3.7 million budget (plus additional funds contributed by the director himself) to create a film that looked like something much more expensive.
- Excavations from the Editing Room Tar Pits—Deleted Scenes, Outtakes & Bloopers (1080p; 1.33:1; 11:20): Subtitled "28 Year Old VHS Dailies", this compilation is referenced by De Jarnatt as a work-in-progress in the second of the two commentaries listed above. It includes a little of everything: alternate angles, scenes that were started and then abandoned, improvs and flubs. Of particular note is a scene discussed in the commentary featuring Joe Turkel quoting Dante's Inferno.
- Supporting Cast & Crew Reunion (1080p; 1.78:1; 14:24): The reunion occurs at Johnie's.
