For those of you who aren’t familiar with easter eggs, they are hidden “goodies” found in dvds, a trailer, deleted scenes, bloopers, and so on. Here are a few ways to access the easter eggs on your LotR dvd.
Easter Egg
Hidden Trailer / MTV spoof
Access The Egg
Hidden Trailer: To access The Two Towers sneak peek trailer that was shown briefly in theaters at the end of The Fellowship of the Ring, go to the last page of the scene selections menu area and select the number “48” on the far right-hand side of the screen. Then navigate “down” to reveal a hidden Two Towers symbol. Press “Enter”.
MTV spoof: To find this one, go into the Scene Selection menu on disc one, and head to the final page where you’ll find the real Council of Elrond scene. Highlight that scene and press “down” to find an image of the Ring. Press enter to view the entire clip from MTV complete with an introduction from Peter Jackson.
From the Main Menu of Disc Four, use your down arrow to move down to highlight the ornament at the bottom center of the screen. Selecting this will give you a limited version of the DVD credits.
Access The Egg
On Disc 1 go to Scene selection screen. Highlight Scene 27 “The Council of Elrond”. Press down to highlight image of The Ring. Press enter to
view the clip.
The MTV spoof will not, however, appear on the set issued by EiV in the United Kingdom. This is because the spoof would have casued the disc to have a rating which is higher than the ‘PG’ given to the film and all the other elements on the DVDs. Since all DVDs are classified by the British Board of Film Classification overall with regard to the ‘highest categorised element’, EiV were not willing to put this on the disc, risk a higher classification and prejudice sales. This will not be the case with LOTR:FOTR R2 discs issued elsewhere in the region.
Easter Egg DVD Credits
Access The Egg
Highlight Play Movie, then press up and you will have the New Line logo highlighted. Press enter, and you’ll have DVD credits.
Just pause the dvd for about 5 mintues and it has the Usual Suspects cover picture appear.

Shame about the MTV council scene, though – it is quite funny. And you don’t actually s e e it, either …
… I mean, you don’t see where he wears it …
