On a few DVDS I have been able to find hidden material. It is usually a icon on the screen that you. I wonder how many DVDs are out there with theses little extras and how many do the DVDs contain.
There are tons of websites that feature such information. Mind you, though: they all copy from each other's sites so you usually get the same info, word for word, on each site.
In this information age, such hidden features are not hidden at all.
I recently purchased "The Last Days of Patton" on DVD. It lists the primary characters as such:
"George C. Scott & Eve Marie Saint"
uh...excuse me...it's EVA Marie Saint...even the opening credits list her as "EVA Marie Saint"
Somebody goofed!
STAR TREK- TOS Packaging nits:
On vol. 18 of TOS DVD, the two episodes featured are:
"The Doomsday Machine" & "Wolf in the Fold"
On the front of the DVD cover is Uhura
The Nit?
UHURA AIN'T IN EITHER EPISODE!
--------------------------------------------------
Vol. 6.....
The episodes: "Miri" and "Conscience of the King"
The package has Scotty on the cover.
The nit?
Scotty ain't in either episode!
I'm not sure if this was corrected for the original DVD release, but the VHS and laserdisc packages for Star Trek VI both identify Kirk as an ADMIRAL, when he was realy only a captain by this time.
The New Line Platinum Edition of Blade has as one of its bonus features, a listing of the Houses of Erebus. Listed twice is the House of Faustinas. The glyphs for both entries are the same. The second time it's listed, however, more information is given. Just two or three more sentences worth. But it's still clearly the same House.

Say does anyone have dvds where they changed the movie music from the originial showing in the theatre?
Yes. The DVD version of the movie "1984" is missing the music by "The Eurythmics"
John try Battle of Britain dvd they changed the end music ...it but they put in the German subtitles..(into English)...arghhh
Sprecken ze Englis? (sp)
The Omega Man dvd is finally out...it has the Making of Omega Man and an interview with one of the writers...
Sorry, Anon. I wouldn't know what to listen for in "The Battle of Britain" movie seeing that I never saw it at the theater.
this is actually a VHS error, but the Mission to Mars tape I have has a section on the cover about a special behind the scenes featurette that is absolutely NOT anywhere on the tape!
The special collector edition of Star Trek 3 has the shot where all of Kirk's crew are standing at attention on its back cover. The same shot that is in ST-4 when being addressed by the Federation President. TPTB put the shot on the wrong movie case!!!(IT'S NOT STAR TREK 3)
On the back cover of TOS DVD #14, (Errand of Mercy / City on the Edge of Forever) they show the correct pictures for "Errand of Mercy" (Kirk talking to Ayelborne in the chair & The Organian Council) However, on "City..." they show a picture of the deranged McCoy...which is correct, BUT...they also have a picture of Spock, McCoy & Zephram Cochrane...that comes from "Metamorphosis"
Star Trek VI- Disc 2 is supposed to feature the Excelsior. Instead, it features the Enterprise B in spacedock... and it's upside-down.
All of the pictures on the flyer that is inside the DVD case for Star Trek II are flipped.
Maybe you just need to turn the flyer over, John! 
(Or did you mean "flopped," as in "backwards?")
I just bought STII (yeah, I know, way behind the times), and the pics look OK on my copy... maybe they fixed the insert?
I did notice a nit about one of the pics on the back of the case, though... The picture of Kirk (next to the UPC "barcode") is from STIII.
BTW, I'm referring to The Director's Edition of STII!
The case for tthe Mystery Science Theater 3000 episode The Begining of the End lists Joel Hodgeson as starting and bears his photo on the back. A very impressive feat, seeing that he left the show several episodes before (it's actually Mike in the episode)
The US release of In The Beginning, the B5 movie has the advanced Thunderbolt Starfuries on the cover, these didn't come into use till third season, but ITB is set over ten years before.
I don't know if this is really a nit, but it ticked me off no end. I bought the DVD boxset of the West Wing season 3, here in Ireland. In other words, I bought the region 2 version. Now, I'm a special features freak, and I especially love commentaries. On the outside cover of the boxset, no special features were listed - fair enough - I bought it assuming it was vanilla. I was then delighted to find a small booklet inside listing all the lovely special features my boxset would contain, only to discover when I played my DVDs that the little booklet actually only applied to region 1 DVDs. Well thanks a bunch TPTB. Slap me in the face by showing me the better package available in the US, before I can buy it here, for a cheaper price.
Anyone else noticed something simalar?
the star trek dvd for what are little girls made of and dagger of the mind has grace lee whitney on the cover.....she wasn t in either episode!
sorry for the lower cases 
The Return of the King Special Extended Edition has two easter Eggs. Go to the scene selection menu on disc 1, go to the last batch of scenes and press left on your remote. A small image of a ring should be highlighted.
Do the same drill on the second disc to get another easter egg.
From what I read, there are some DVD's for "Hogan's Heroes" are mislabeled. They have disc 1 printed as disc 2 and disc 2 is printed as being disc 1.
Looks like the TOS end credits person has a new job! 
On the Monsters Inc. DVD, you'll see a small paper airplane in one of the rooms. Press it for a special scene.
On the first Spiderman DVD, select commentaries, and at the next screen, push the left button. The picture of what's-his-name should light up. Press enter and you'll see some...interesting...stuff.
Black Sunday is listed on its DVD as having a 1976 release date. The pic was copyrighted in 1976, but wasn't released (in limited release) until April, 1977. It went wide the following July.
The first season set of Once And Again (both the original 2002 release, and the 2005 re-issue) mention the marriage of Lily (Sela Ward) and Rick (Billy Campbell) on the package liner notes. Problem is, the characters didn't marry until the last episode of the second season.
Not a packaging error, per se, but one that bugs me nonetheless.
I have a DVD of The Navigator (note: not Flight of the Navigator) and they chose what had to be the ugliest picture from the entire movie to put on the front cover. The movie is an odd little one, Australian I believe, about a group in England during the Black Plague who go in search of a cure, and somehow arrive to modern-day Australia. It is a beautifully shot film, but they used one frame of two characters who are muddy and looking distressed. No shelf appeal from that pic!
I'd rather they used the one on the back cover, of Hamish shouting in front of all the TV's -- one of the best shots of the film.
In the original DVD issue of Star Trek II, on the insert sheet (the flip side of the chapter list) there's a still picture of Kirk, out of uniform. But - that scene is from Star Trek III.
Also Uhuru is still Uhuru in the USA Network edition of Star Trek 6...
The version that played on HBO Family yesterday (the 1991 theatrical version, by the way, not the home video version that HBO also ran when this film was first released to pay cable in January 1993) still has that error.
in Ufo, they had the episode Timelash listed as Timeflash! Its one of my favorite episodes.
Scpipt supervizer strikes again!
The "Jonny Quest" DVD collection is listed as "The Complete First Season"....um....guys? The ORIGINAL "Jonny Quest" was only on the air for one season!
(I do not consider the "updated version" of "Jonny Quest" to be canon.)
In the blurbs for the three DVDs of The Real Ghostbusters, Dave Coulier (who replaced Lorenzo Music as the voice of Peter) is mentioned as one of the voice actors. However, I checked at IMDB and the episodes on those disks were all produced during Music's tenure.
On the back of the DVD case of Cowboy Bebop: Knockin' on Heaven's Door, one of the stills is actually from the Cowboy Bebop session Mushroom Samba.
On the Season 3 of "Family Affair" DVD, it says,
quote:John Williams joins the family for 9 episodes as Mr. French's unflappable butler brother
The back panel of the DVD for The Nude Bomb lists the running time as 104 minutes. In actuality, the film is 10 minutes shorter. (It's also the skimpiest DVD I've ever bought, with NO special features.)
