- "Baboon Bite Maniacs" (86:02, HD) is the making-of for "Primal Rage," featuring interviews with casting director Billy Damota (who participates via video conference), and actors Mitch Watson, Sarah Buxton, Patrick Lowe, Cheryl Arutt, and Bo Svenson. The story opens with casting tales, with most of the talent eager for any kind of work, drawn to the project due to the participation of special effects wizard Carlo Rambaldi. Brought down to Florida for the shoot, the cast recalls time with director Vittorio Rambaldi and his Italian crew, creating some language barriers, and audition memories are shared, with Brad Pitt actually scoring the lead role in the feature before entanglements with new representation managed to squash the deal. The interviewees explore the process of working with animals, finding the producers playing a little fast and loose with real baboon interactions, expecting the cast to execute stunts. Time with makeup is covered, and characterizations are analyzed, with Svenson making sure he had a specific look for the film. Reactions to "Primal Rage" are shared, and the actors close the conversation with an update on their activities and employment, with some still working in the movie industry.
- Interview (11:55, HD) is a 2020 discussion of "Primal Rage" with producer Bill Immerman, who details his work on the feature, helping to corral a cast and put the project together. Some talk of different versions prepared for different markets is shared, along with tales from the Canadian shoot. Immerman also shares a story from his days with the Glendale district attorney's office, which kickstarted his career in the movie industry.
