Easter Eggs: Discussion & Favorites - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

The Only Real Estel · 03-10-2005, 09:17 PM

First, to get a quick introduction out of the way...
For those of you who might not know it, there are 'secret goodies' (as PJ puts it) hidden in each of the three movies--one in FotR, one in TTT, and two in RotK. You access them all the same way: Get the first disc, go to select a scene, go to the last chapter, & then go down once more. Once you've done this it should show a golden ring by the New Scene label. Select this and you will access the easter egg. For RotK there is one on each disc. There is some possibly offensive content in these easter eggs, so watch at your own risk.

Now, the easter eggs are controversial things; some people love them and think they're hilarious, some people think that they are out of line. I can see both sides of the argument. I thought that the secrets were usually pretty funny and wished there were more of them. My favorite was probably FotR's (though it can also be argued that FotR's one of the most offensive) or TTT's. What about you? Favorites? Just now saw them? Did you like or dislike the 'secret goodies'?

My favorite, so far, has to be the easter egg in TTT. I didn't know there was an extra easter egg in ROTK, but I thought that the first one became tedious when I watched it for the second time.

Wow!!!! I'd heard 'bout the easter eggs but didn't know where they were hiding!!!! I shall run straight home and watch them... I shall then return and make comment!

us poor brits don't get the hilarious MTV spoof with Sarah Gellar and Jack Black, becuase the whole DVD would have had the same certificate as the easter egg itself, which I believe was 15. (which is fair enough, seeing as how Miss Gellar gets the ring from Jack)

So it was left out of the region 2 version of FOTR EE.

Ok now I'm confused!!!! So, is it only the American's that get the easter eggs? Please don't tell me that, I just got all excited about the prospect of new LOTR stuff!!!!!!!!!!

I only know about the Easter egg on the FotR disc, Celebuial. Go to Scene Select on Disc 2, go down the numbers and highlight 48, press enter, then as the fan club credits scroll up the screen press down, you'll then see an icon of the Two Towers underneath the numbers, press enter and Peter J appears on your screen congratulating you for finding the hidden 'gift'. The MTV sketch wasn't included on our version as has been said, because it would have put the dvd up to a 15 rating.

I haven't checked out the other two dvds. Can you believe it...I forgot!

Edited to add that I've tried my other dvds now. I can't seem to access anything on TT, but on RotKs second disc, if you do the same thing ie. scene select, fan club credits, enter, down: a gold ring appears, press enter and you get the MTV 'interview' with Ben Stiller and Vince Vaughn pitching a sequel idea to PJ. Enjoy!
