A six-minute alternate ending is included along with a commentary from the writer. The scene changes the entire film, actually letting the terrorists escape with the gold bounty and McClane manages to track them down. The ending in the film was the right choice. Three behind-the-scenes features look at how some of the film's more spectacular scenes were completed. A storyboard sequence is also included.

An interview with Bruce Willis is included along with a short profile of the film's main antagonist. The disc also offers up a look at seven different special effects-laden scenes in various forms of completion. Finally, a massive ten TV spots and two theatrical trailers finish off the disc.

In what was probably a smart move, Bruce Willis did not walk around the city with the sign draped over him that stated the rather harsh racist phrase seen in the movie when he meets Zeus. The line was added via CG effects after the fact. In the TV cut, it shows the original before the special effects, which says “I Hate Everybody.”
