  • Easter Eggs
    Feature: Trailers and teasers abound on the second disc (roughly 11 non-Abyss).
    Procedure: Various trailers and teasers are hidden from menu to menu. Access these trailers/teasers as follows:
    • On the second page of the 'Special Features' section, choose 'Trailers'. From here you can access trailers to 'The Abyss' as well 'Aliens', 'True Lies' and 'Strange Days'.
    • A trailer is accessible from the 'Mission Components' menu found in the 'Special Features' area. From that menu, select up and highlight and select the wave for a look at 'True Lies'. From the same menu, select 'The Abyss in Depth'. Highlight and select the picture of a jet for a peek at a 'True Lies' teaser.
    • A Dolby Digital trailer is available in the 'Audio Options' menu when you select 'Hydrophone Checkout'. From the same 'Audio Options' menu, highlight and select the face hugger alien to see a teaser for 'Aliens'.
    • From the 'Subtitle Options' menu, highlight and select the face hugger alien to see another teaser for 'Aliens'.
    • Another 'Aliens' trailer is available by accessing the 'Documentary's' scene selection area. Chapter 18 should yield the ability to select a face hugger for another trailer.
    • An additional 'Aliens' teaser is available by entering the 'Imaging Station' and highlighting 'Pseudopod Multi-Angle' and then pressing left on your remote. From the same menu, pressing 'Down' while highlighting 'Image Gallery Menu' will bring about a 'Strange Days' teaser.
    • The last 'Aliens' teaser can be found by highlighting and selecting the face hugger alien in 'Personal Lockers'.
