Poll: The Big Easter Egg Hunt
Easter time! Rabbits and bells hide eggs in the gardens.
Moviemakers also hide Easter eggs in their works... but no chocolate here.
These Easter eggs are references to other works. Well hidden in the picture frame, in the background of a scene, one must be watchful to find them.
Hidden references have existed for a long time in movies, but the name "Easter eggs" comes from The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975). An egg hunt had been organized by the cast and crew on the set. But not all eggs have been found and some are visible in the movie.
