On White Dog, in the "Four-Legged Time Bomb" interview section, push down until Jon Davison's name is highlighted. This leads to a one minute long clip from Davison's interview, where he threatens the Criterion producers with a mauling from another animal!

Someone on the Blu-ray.com forums posted how to access the Tony Leung music video on the In The Mood For Love Blu-ray:

Go to the TV Spots and Trailers menu and press the blue button on the remote, and the music video should play.

Interesting! Is this the first known Easter Egg on a Blu-Ray? I'd assumed the rigid menu format precluded such skullduggery.

There is an Easter Egg on Island of Lost Souls but I don't think anyone has figured out how to access it. (Now I suspect that the blue button will probably be the key to that as well.)

Finding the blue button secret apparently unlocks the door to Easter Eggs on Blu-Rays.

[colinr0380]

another one on the Killers blu-ray: Go to the 1946 version, Supplements, Source and Adaptations, then press the blue button on your remote to see

Spoiler

the trailer for Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid.

Whilst casually browsing through the old DVD edition of the 1946 Killers disc, I found where the button to play the Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid trailer is hidden - go to the page of Siodmak trailers and press down to the Cobra Woman trailer and then press left. The white button moves slightly to the left and clicking at that point makes the Plaid trailer play.

Oh shit! That song + its accompanying short is absolutely hilarious. I really wish they would've included it as part of the shorts collection on here, but they must've known the song itself is half the fun.
