I was reading a string of posts where someone mentioned an easter egg containing the white council spoofed by Jack Black and I was wondering if anyone knew of other eggs imbedded in the dvd's????

[Eldorion]

It wasn't the White Council, it was the Council of Elrond - the Easter Egg for FOTR. I know of at least one such "egg" per EE DVD (if there's more I don't know).

[INSTRUCTIONS]If I recall correctly, you go to the Scene Selection on the first DVD of each EE and go to the last page of the selection menu. You then go to the last scene listed and then press the "Down" button. A ring icon will appear, press "Enter", and see the egg.[/INSTRUCTIONS]

I think that should work.

Sweeeet . I didn't know I had that Easter Egg. I'll check it out later. Thanks Eldorion .

No problem GB. I did a bit of Googling and apparently the process works with the last scene of the scene select on either of the EE discs, so there's actually two Eggs per film.

I couldnt find any of the Easter eggs on my copy of the extended editions.

Perhaps it is just the American copys that have them

[Eldorion]

The American copies definitely have them Elladan.

I watched the 2 Easter eggs on both Return of the King and The Fellowship of the Ring and 1 of the eggs on The Two Towers. I can not seem to find the second Easter egg on Two Towers. Does anyone know how to find it?

If I recall correctly, you go to the Scene Selection on the first DVD of each EE and go to the last page of the selection menu. You then go to the last scene listed and then press the "Down" button. A ring icon will appear, press "Enter", and see the egg.

As I also said in a later post, this works for any of the EE discs (not counting the "Appendices").

[Cbernui]

There is also an Easter egg on the second disc of the Fellowship of the Ring extended edition and the second disc of the Return of the King extended edition.
On the second DVD, scene 48, click on the number 48 - on the right side of the screen - and the silhouettes of Barad Dur and Orthanc appear just underneath, click it. You'll see another introduction by Peter Jackson, and the Two Towers cinematic preview trailer: the one played in theatres after the Fellowship of the Ring, towards the end of its running period.

For Return of the King disc 2 easter egg, scroll to the end of the chapter selection page and press down once more on the bottom one to highlight a hidden ring icon; select the the ring icon and the Easter egg will begin to play. (the MTV movie awards spoof interview with Peter Jackson, Ben Stiller and Vince Vaughan.)

Does any one know how to find the Two Towers Disc 2 Easter egg?

[Eldorion]

What part of my last post did you not understand, Cbernui?

P.S. Was there really any need to repeat what I already said?
