Arrow's Easter Eggs!

The Cannibal Holocaust one in the Shameless disc highlighting a continuity error is a good one too.

Was that the one where the soldier was poisoned with a blow dart, but is alive again on the boat?

That's the one!

BTW, Deodato mentions on that easter egg that it is the first time he's making it public, but it was already mentioned on the commentary with him that's on the spanish dvd I have (it's probably on other editions too...).

Excuse my ignorance everyone, but what exactly are easter eggs? I've been a collector of arrow dvds since the beginning and have most of their titles. Am I missing something??? Any help greatly appreciated!!!!!

Easter eggs are also found on movie DVDs. In some cases, an extra click to the right or left, or going up in the menu instead of going down to select a choice will bring up a hidden feature (usually a random object on screen will be highlighted for selection), including concept art, humorous outtakes, or deleted scenes

Try this DVD, every single thing on the disc is an Easter Egg! I'm still not sure if I've watched the whole thing.

You have to highlight one of the film reels on the menu. On the bluray anyway.

Cheers for that, Paul. It all makes sense now. I've only got the standard DVD.
