Disc Features:
The following bonus features are shared in common with the DVD edition, but presented in High Definition video on the Blu-ray:
- Filmmaker Commentary – Writer/director Ed Neumeier, VFX supervisor Robert Skotak, and producer David Lancaster discuss the nuts and bolts of making a low-budget sci-fi picture, shooting in South Africa, and the studio's mandate that this one should be funny. They all take the project very seriously and seem to believe that they've created a good movie. Somebody ought to tell them how it really turned out.
- Director and Cast Commentary – Neumeier is joined this time by stars Casper Van Dien and Jolene Blalock for a fawning love-fest in which everyone proclaims how great it was to work with everyone else, and how wonderful an experience the movie was. Yawn.
- Evolution – The Making of Starship Troopers 3: Marauder (HD, 12 min.) – Electronic Press Kit filler about how the Bugs were designed and brought to life on screen. Everybody pretends that they're making a great and important film.
- Enlist: Marauder's Mobile Infantry (HD, 14 min.) – More EPK fluff about the cast and how everybody loved working together.
- Music Video: It's a Good Day to Die (HD, 3 min.) – This song wasn't very funny in the movie, and it's even less funny in this extended music video comprised of clips (including several plot spoilers) from the film.
- Marauder Mode – Similar to the "FedNet Mode" on the first 'Starship Troopers' Blu-ray, this Picture-in-Picture "Bonus View" feature places a border around the screen designed to look like video monitors seen in the movie. Interviews, behind-the-scenes footage, and trivia facts pop-up in small windows while the film plays. Although there does not appear to be any repetition of information from the other bonus features on the disc, most of the Marauder Mode content is very EPK and insubstantial in nature.
