Easter Egg
———-
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, manuever 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.
2nd Easter Egg
————–
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"! 3rd Easter Egg
--------------
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! Series of quotes from Buckaroo Banzai and others
------------------------------------------------
On the main menu, highlight 'Play Movie'. Press left to highlight
a jet car at the top of the screen. Press enter to see a series
of quotes from Buckaroo Banzai and others. Alternate menu designs
----------------------
From the highlighted jet car, press left again to highlight a
dial on the left of the screen. Press enter to see the alternate
menu designs.
