Cracking Easter Eggs

If you are a fan of the DVD, then you know what I am talking about. Half the fun of buying or renting a DVD, is finding the Easter Eggs and unlocking the hidden magic and fun of that DVD.

So, for all of you movie buffs (or recreational viewers), here are some of the most recent ones I have found.

The Incredibles
Egg: Quite a few: More Deleted Scenes, Behind the Scenes, The Incredibles as performed by sock puppets, and funny Pixar moments (one involving a Razor Scooter in the studio).
The Hunt: All you have to do is be patient. Any menu screen, if left alone long enough, will populate a small icon at the top (either Mr. Incredible or the Omnidriod) - select that to find the eggs.
Notes: The sock puppets are hysterical! This one can be found from the Setup Screen on Disc 2.

Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (Extended Edition)
Egg: Elijah Wood interview (a prank on Elijah as he thinks it's a German interviewer, but is really Dominic Monaghan
The Hunt: Disc 1 - Go to select a scene and keep pushing down until a gold ring appears next to "select a scene", push enter when the ring appears.
Notes: Really funny - I had seen a clip of this long ago and at the Oscar Party, Peter Jackson promised to have lots of fun stuff on this DVD and he didn't lie!

Star Wars Trilogy Boxset
Egg: Star Wars Trilogy Blooper Reel
The Hunt: Bonus Disc - Go to Video Games and Still Galleries. Now type: 11 (enter), 3 (enter), 8 (enter).
Notes: This contains 5 minutes of bloopers I had never seen. Let the record reflect, I have serious issues with this set of DVDs and did not spend money on it - it was a gift!

Please, readers, if you know of an Easter Egg worth cracking, please add it in the comments to this BLOG post. I'm a big fan of Easter Egg hunts, but prefer to know when and where to find them!!
