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

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!

Hmmm, I didn't know about the differences in versions...I can't help anybody out there!

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

It was that way for me also, just dragged on a little much. There's one scene in the second disc where it does somewhat of the same thing, but oh well.

I couldn't find any Easter Eggs on either edition of TT, so if any Brits out there know whether there are any, I'd be most grateful for a sneaky tip on how to access these.

I found the others OK, but I was disappointed not to see the MTV spoof on FotR - however, in this age of DVD burners and multi region hacks for DVD players all things are possible...I wonder if it has found its way onto the internet anywhere?

Sorry Lalwendë I couldn't find any on TT either!

I rather liked the one on the first disc of ROTK, I can see why it could get tedious after a while though. I just thought that it was so funny beacause Dom's accent was terrible and I'm sure that if I'd spent the same amount of time as Elijah running around in hairy feet with Dom, I would've recognised his voice or at least the way he was talking.

I never managed to get any of the easter eggs to work, and I'm in the US. I wonder if it could be something to do with my DVD player?
