Special Features:
  • History vs. Hollywood: The Last Samurai this featurette is thin in the history department and thick in heaping praise on the film.
  • Edward Zwick: A Director's Video Journal features more than 25 minutes worth of behind the scenes footage, with commentary by Zwick and Cruise. It will be important to serious fans of the film only.
  • Tom Cruise: A Warrior's Journey, clocking in at 12 minutes, shows the costume design Cruise subjected himself to, especially for the battle scenes. It is the typical costume/make-up featurette.
  • Making an Epic: A Conversation with Edward Zwick is a somewhat interesting interview with the director. On quick scan, it seems to deliver nothing in its 17 minute duration that is not already discussed in greater detail in the audio commentary.
  • Imperial Army Basic Training: From Soldier to Samurai offers details on the mechanics of incorporating extras into the battle scenes. Apparently, significant emphasis was placed on training so that the scenes conveyed a real sense of military maneuvers.
  • A World of Detail: Production Design with Lilly Kilvert delivers insight into the building of sets, packed with information in less than five minutes.
  • Silk and Armor: Costume Design with Ngila Dickson provides a surprising detailed look at the traditional samurai battlewear.
  • Two deleted scenes, including optional commentary by Zwick (SD)
  • Promotional material from the Japanese film premieres, and the trailer. (SD)
