The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the Eighth Dimension!

1. If you select the middle Jet Car image on the first menu screen, you will be able to scroll through a selection of quotes from Doctor Banzai.
2. If you select the yellow circle in the top left corner of the first menu screen, you will be able to scroll through 36 alternate DVD menu designs.
3. If you select the Banzai Institute logo on the Banzai Institute Archive Menu screen, you will be able to scroll through two alternate DVD cover designs.
4. If you select the watermelon image on the first Deleted Scenes Menu screen, you will be taken to an article called “Food from the Skies?” which discusses why the Banzai Institute was putting watermelons in high gages.
5. If you select the BB logo on the second screen of the “Food from the Skies?” article, you will be taken to a video clip of W.D. Richter called “Why?” where he discusses watermelons and shows a recipe for Chicken in a Watermelon.

1. Go to the Special Features menu, page 1, and access the list of Deleted Scenes, Page 1. While looking at the first list of 8 of the 14 deleted scenes, maneuver to highlight the [SPECIAL FEATURES] box at the bottom middle of the screen. Then push Left to highlight the Watermelon. Press Enter now and a text screen comes up: a made-up newspaper article about Perfect Tommy’s experiment with dropping watermelons from the sky to relieve world famine. Press the [More -> ] box at the bottom to access the 2nd page, and go on to the 2nd Easter Egg.
2. On the 2nd page of the news article, on the bottom left you will see a “BB” (Buckaroo Banzai) logo. Move the cursor Right to the [ <- Back] box and then Up to the “BB” logo and press enter. You will then see a brief interview about the whole watermelon question, and a bit about a recipe for “Chicken in a Watermelon”!
3. Finally, return to the main Special features menu and go to Page 2 of it. Access the area called “Banzai Institute Archives”. On the bottom left you will see another “BB” logo, this time in a circular seal. Go down to the [Special Features] box at the bottom right of the screen, and then move the cursor Right to highlight the Seal. Pressing Enter while here will display two alternate Cover Art Inserts for the Buckaroo Banzai DVD that were discarded prior to selecting the one used. Interestingly, neither of the two displayed are the one that MGM circulated just before upgrading the Buckaroo Banzai DVD to “Special Edition” status and delaying it’s release until Jan. 2002; so there’s at least one more alternate DVD cover not shown in this Easter Egg!

In the main menu of the DVD, there are 3 jet cars at the top of the menu, move your cursor so that the middle on is highlighted and enter into the quotes section of the DVD.

Per the “Quotes” egg, move your cursor up to the middle of the three jet cars at the top of the screen. (This is not as obvious as it seems -- it takes a move left from the top menu item.) Now, move the cursor left or right -- a large “light” or “knob” at the upper left of the screen will turn green with the highlight. Hit OK/Enter/whatever your system uses, and see 36 or so pages of prototype DVD interfaces that could have been, but weren’t...

Aliens

Disc Four of the Alien Quadrilogy contains the Supplemental Material for “Aliens”. Go to the chapter marked “Post-Production”.

Click on that icon and you will get the featurette entitled “A Boy and his Power-Loader”... it shows how a young man named Van Ling built his very own power-loader based on the movie and how it eventually got him a job working for James Cameron.

American Splendor

1. A “Conversation” With Toby

   Go to the Special Features menu and just wait. It’s set up like a fast food drive-through with Toby in a car. It just sounds like the drive-through attendant trying to get Toby’s attention. However, after a while an actual “conversation” starts between the two using dialogue from the movie.

   Go to Special Features, highlight the “Play Movie” icon and click LEFT. You’ll then highlight the “sausage/onion/cheese” icon around the “HBO Films” feature. Select it to see the credits for the DVD itself.

   Go to Chapter Select. On the first page, you’ll be able to select the various chapters and there will be a big panel (it’s done like a comic book) with “American Splendor” that you can’t select right away. To highlight it, first highlight “Main Menu” and click DOWN. Select the panel and you’ll get a short featurette with animator John Kuramoto on the opening title sequence of the film.

5. The Joy of Acting
