  • "The Business of Revolution" (23:31, HD) is an interview with actor Vernon Wells, who hit the big time with his role in "The Road Warrior," with Hollywood soon calling, hiring him for parts in "Weird Science" and "Commando." This rising profile led to his casting in "Undeclared War," with director Ringo Lam allowing Wells to find his character and play multiple parts, also putting the actor into many stunt sequences, which didn't always sit well with him. Dangerous situations are recalled as the production traveled from Hong Kong to Poland, but the interviewee has a special memory of hair bleaching, which caused more pain than all the physical activity required of him during the shoot. Co-stars are recalled, with Wells especially unnerved when time came to treat Olivia Hussey roughly, who was a gentle presence on the set. Formative years are assessed, with Wells used to being tossed around due to an active upbringing. A reaction to "Undeclared War" is provided, including thoughts on the state of stunt work today, with the industry changing radically over the years.
  • "Undeclared Score" (17:27, HD) is a video conference interview with composer Noel Quinlan, who tracks his development from an Australian musician to a film worker, frustrated with his early jobs, which weren't handled well by producers. Excited to work with director Ringo Lam, Quinlan found someone who was attentive to sound, allowing him to deliver a quality effort. Talk of digital sound, use of a synthesizer, and his relationship with Lam is also explored.
