Easter Egg
Hidden interviews
Access The Egg
From the disc's main menu go to the 'Cast and Crew Biographies.' In the biographies of actors Tim Allen, Sigourney Weaver, Alan Rickman, Tony Shaloub, Daryl Mitchell and Sam Rockwell you will find small buttons that you can highlight using your remote. If you press 'Enter' they will reveal some interview clips with the star talking about the movie. You can find the same buttons in the biographies of director Dean Parisot and the movie's Creature Effects crew.
----
The main menu has an omega 13 option to which access is denied but if you first watch the movie and then select it the omega 13 will explode, implode, play the main menu sequence in reverse, and replay the sequence bringing you back to where you started.
----
While watching the movie, press the audio button on your dvd remote and if you keep pressing it, you can view this movie in an alien language.
**:Galaxy Quest
Dreamworks Home Entertainment's release of the hilarious space comedy 'Galaxy Quest' contains a number of great additional features.
The most obvious one is 'Omega 13,' accessible through a menu entry on the main menu. It can only be activated once you watched the entire film, and features a nice little clip.
But the disc also contains a number of short interview clips all over the place. They can be found in the cast and crew biographies of Tim Allen, Sigourney Weaver, Alan Rickman, Tony Shaloub, Daryl Mitchell and Sam Rockwell, as well as some of the crew members. At the top of their biography pages you will notice a small reel icon that you can highlight. If you activate it by pressing 'Enter' on your remote control you will have the chance to see some interview clips in which cast members talk about the movie and their colleagues.
The last one is actually more of an error than a hidden feature, but intriguing nonetheless. In the cast and crew biographies you will find a listing for 'Brandon Long.' The peculiar thing about it is that the actor's name is Justin Long - Brandon is actually the name of his character in the film!

Easter Egg
Somewhat hidden teaser and trailer
Access The Egg
Granted, neither of these are hard to find, they are not listed anywhere as being an added feature, so they can pass as easter eggs. Head to the Special Features section from the main menu and you will see a teaser and a trailer for the movie.
**:The Game
Polygram’s disc ”The Game” also contains some unadvertised material that would qualify as Easter Eggs. Select “Special Features” from the main menu and you will see the two entries in question. The first one is the theatrical teaser for the movie and the second one takes you to the movie’s theatrical trailer, both of which aren’t mentioned anywhere on the disc’s packaging.

Now, that’s not something everyone can show for!

**:Gladiator
Dreamworks Home Video has included a hilarious Easter Egg on their release of Ridley Scott's epic spectacle 'Gladiator.'
To access the hidden feature, insert the second disc of the set - the one with all the supplemental material - and go to the disc's main menu.
From there, go to the second page of special features where you select 'Trailers and TV Spots.' In this submenu, press the 'Left' arrow key on your remote control and the amulet around Richard Harris' neck will be highlighted. If you press 'Enter' now you will get to see a special 'Chicken Run' trailer that is themed after 'Gladiator' and even uses the film's music.
There's another hidden feature on the supplemental disc of the set that you should check out. Go to the 'Storyboards' menu on that disc and chose the Rhino Fight - a scene that never made it into the film. When the first storyboard comes up, press the arrow 'Up' key on your remote control and you will highlight the rhino in the center frame. Press 'Enter' now and you can read the script for the proposed scene and can even take a look at some of the CGI test footage prepared for it.
