Access The Egg
From the disc's main menu go to the 'Special Features.' On the special features screen, push the right button and you will see an icon appear in light blue, then press enter. If you click on continue to the next page there is also one there in the same spot.
There is also one more in the same spot on the languages page and on the cast and crew page and on the scene selection 7-12 page. During the comentary with the director, the icon will appear from time to time, press enter when it appears for a "follow the white rabbit" type interaction like in the Matrix dvd.
From the disc's main menu go to the 'Special Features.' Here press the 'right' arrow key on your remote control to highlight the spaceship. If you press 'Enter' now, you will get to see some B-roll footage with make-up tests.
On the second page of Special Features you can do the same thing and highlight the Pyramid. This will allow you to watch even more additional behind-the-scenes footage - this time a mob scene clip.
But that's still not all, if you highlight the hidden elements in the 'Cast & Crew' section you will get to see a stunt test clip, and in the 'Languages' menu you can access yet another brief stunt test clip.
But that's still not all! Another clip can be found in the scene selections on the disc. Go to the 'Scenes Selections' for chapter 7 - 12 and scroll through all of the chapters until you highlight a hidden Psychlo image. Pressing 'Enter' will bring up a scene of an extra shooting a Bazooka!
The biggest hidden feature is unsuspectingly found in the commentary track on the disc. If you watch the film with the audio commentary on, occasionally a Psychlo letter will appear on the screen. Selecting it will then take you to some interesting behind-the-scenes footage of that particular scene. All these clips from the commentary can also be accessed directly with your remote control. Simply go directly to titles 19 - 32 and you'll get to see these clips. Please consult your player's user manual how to directly access titles on a DVD, as this is handled differently on each DVD player.

Easter Egg
Hidden Bloopers
Access The Egg
If you enter color bars and wait about 20 seconds the bars will disappear and you get bloopers from the movies. Short, but includes a shot of John C. Riley's ass.
Addition from W. Darren Prouty:
The color bar egg is different on my disc. It shows an extended sequence at the Adult awards ceremony whereby Floyd Gondolli (Philip Baker Hall) gives an extended riff about Dirk Diggler. That leads into what appears to be the screen test for the "diggler" itself, though it's probably not Marky Mark who's head is cropped out of frame. Interestingly, there is a faint green title on the screen the whole time that says "property of pushing thirteeen", or something like that.
**:Boogie Nights: Special Edition
In the 2-disc Special Edition of New Line Home Video's 'Boogie Nights' there is some some additional footage hidden that you can uncover if you know where to look.
Insert the first disc and bring up the disc's main menu. Select the 'Color Bars' menu entry, which will take you to a screen with static color bars to adjust your TV set. After about 20 seconds however, the bars will fade out and you will be treated to a series of hilarious outtakes, including one that shows Robert Ridgley as the Colonel in an awards scene in which he falls into an entirely unscripted rant. The footage is then followed by a series of screen tests involving Dirk's 'diggler.'
