Special Features:
  • Audio Commentary - feature-length track, first recorded in 2006 for WB's Hollywood Legends of Horror Collection (later reissued by Warner Archive), features film historian Gregory Mank. Acknowledges the film's particular place in Golden Age Hollywood history, tackling plenty of subjects along the way including "the yellow peril", censorship in different locations, the cast's approach to the material, production design, Fu Manchu's other portrayals in film, subtext, the resurrection of its original cut on laserdisc and DVD, and more.
  • Classic Cartoons - Two restored Merrie Melodies shorts from the era.
  • Freddy the Freshman (6:54) - This 1932 short, directed by Rudolph Ising, takes its narrative cues from a catchy song written by Cliff Friend and Dave Oppenheim; its title dog character throws down at a college party and even becomes the star of a football game.
  • The Queen Was in the Parlor (6:46) - Ising MM short released in 1932, this one spoofs a few nursery rhymes as well as then-popular singer Rudy Vallee; it concerns a missing queen, a court jester (the little-used character "Goopy Geer", who debuts here), and a threatening black knight.
