Since today is Easter, I figured I would attempt to post some sort of Easter related article. Since I feel a lot of people like to find Easter eggs that the bunny left behind, I thought it was only proper to inform you about Easter egss that you can find all year round.

I would assume that there are quite a few people that are unaware of the hidden “Easter eggs” that are available on almost every DVD you own. Easter eggs are also packed into tons of other things, not just DVD’s. So, what I did was found you a list of the “Top 5 DVD Easter Eggs” (according to someone who probably isn’t a very good judge of Easter Eggs).

This was posted in 2002, so perhaps some new Easter Eggs were discovered that we better…

Here is the link.

Here is an excerpt:

Star Wars – Episode I

What You’ll See: A hilarious series of flubs from the movie’s making.

How to Access: Go to the Options menu and type “1138” (from the title of George Lucas’ debut, THX 1138) with your remote.

Final Fantasy

What You’ll See: The computer-generated characters doing their own rendition of Michael Jackson’s “Thriller” video.

How to Access: Select the Highlights menu on the bonus disc; press the up-arrow on your remote, followed by the right-arrow button-this takes you to a second page. Press the up-arrow button, then press the right-arrow button twice and highlight a small frame in the righthand corner.

Terminator 2 : Judgment Day

What You’ll See: A 156-minute extended version
of the movie with an alternate ending.

How to Access: Go to the Special Edition menu screen, highlight the words Play Special Edition and enter the number “82997” (which is the date of the movie’s original release).

The Matrix

What You’ll See: A 12-minute montage of concept artwork and special effects test footage.

How to Access: Go to the Special Features menu, then to Cast and Crew biographies. The page about the writing-directing Wachowski brothers contains a small red pill-highlight it and press “enter.”

Gladiator

What You’ll See: Test footage of a cut scene in which Russell Crowe’s Maximus faces down a computer-generated rhino.

How to Access: On the bonus disc, go to the second page of special features and click Original Storyboards; on the second page of that section, select Rhino Fight. Highlight the rhino in the second storyboard and press “enter.”
