Easter Eggs

I dont think I've personally every come across one, but I know there's a couple really cool ones out there, i just read this on IMDB for Momento:

"in the Limited Edition DVD (and in the standard Region 2 edition) allows the movie to be watched in the exact chronological order of the events in the film. The first couple scenes of the regular cut of the movie appear normal in this version, meaning they are not reversed. However, this version of the movie is on Disc 2, is quite difficult to reach (the user must answer several questions and solve a puzzle), and forward, reverse and chapter skip capabilities are disabled"

Anyone know of any good, interesting ones like this?

I can't remember how to get there, but on Spider-Man 2 I found a clip of Alfred Molina in full Doc Ock costume singing "If I Were A Rich Man" from Fiddler on the Roof.

The Terminator 2 special edition has a hidden version that is the extended cut with the alternate ending; basically old sarah conner and middle aged john conner (actor from the opening scene of the movie, minus the scar makeup) in a happy future with john's kid(s).

I dont remember exactly what part of the menu you have to go to, but it is where you select the version you want (theatrical or extended) then you enter the date of Judgement Day (8/27/1997 i think)

A quick google search will get you a better explanation.

With the "deliverables" that are on the plate for most games these days, I doubt most developers have the time to put fun stuff like that into games anymore. I would if I was a game developer, but the people I usually write software for don't appreciate that kind of thing...

The Duke Nukem Plutonium Pack was probably the single most Easter-egg filled thing ever made.

MS is all business these days. their prodcuts have become incredibly inflated, with teams of hundreds working on them, and QA departments as big or bigger. nothing but bugs slip through :)

Seriously, though. especially in a company like microsoft, people just dont have time for fun stuff like that any more, and with the levels of effort put into making sure every piece of programming code is clean and works with everythign else, you cant afford to have chunks that dont belong to the core functionality hanging out and possibly causing conflicts. Its sad, but its "progress".

I've never looked for them, but there are supposed to be scenes in The Rocky Horror Picture Show where you can see random Easter eggs (literally) on the set. Apparently they had an Easter Egg hunt on the set but didn't find them all.

the game is riddled with hidden rooms, usually with at least one reference in it. Tehre is one with a rippe dup snake plisken on a stake, and when you walk in, Duke says "Iguess he didnt make it out of LA"

A dead "doom guy" is in a hidden room...

the level XXX stacey has the unabomber's apartment. its basically a room filled with explosives

I'll post more as i think o fthem.
