Another 92-minute film out on DVD without special features is "The King Maker." The film follows the life of a man named Fernando De Gama who was shipwrecked, put into slavery, falls in love, and then becomes one of the king's great warriors. Liam Neeson and former 007 Pierce Brosnan play enemies in the Civil War Western "Seraphim Falls." This, too, does not have any special features.
