Including Easter eggs for eagle-eyed fans to find in films and TV series has become a common trend these days, but the tradition dates back decades. From filmmakers paying tribute to people they admire to making reference to the source material in their adaptations, Hollywood loves an Easter egg. Today's top videos STORY CONTINUES BELOW Here’s a list of some of the most iconic ones we love from our favourite films and TV series. Droids in Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark One of the most famous Easter eggs in movie history is the Star Wars droids in Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark Pic: 20th Century Studios Probably one of the most famous Easter eggs of all time is the appearance of Star Wars droids R2D2 and C3PO in Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark. Now, it wasn’t the actual droids themselves that showed up, but if you looked closely at the hieroglyphed walls and columns in one scene, you can see the pair hidden among the Egyptian etchings. Woody and Buzz have The Shining Toy Story x The Shining Pic: Disney Pixar/Warner Bros In the first Toy Story movie, Woody breaks into Sid’s house after he takes Buzz, and while the sequence itself is the run-of-the-mill rescue job, there’s a Shining reference included. The carpet in Sid’s house is the same as the Overlook Hotel as seen in the scene where Danny is riding his tricycle through the corridors, hinting at the child’s darker nature compared to that of Andy’s. Star Wars x ET crossover The species of alien from ET can be spotted in Star Wars The Phantom Menace Pic: Lucasfilm Star Wars might be the most referenced film in other properties, with Steven Spielberg and George Lucas often referencing each other in their productions. In fact, in the Halloween scene in ET, Yoda makes an appearance as one of the kid’s costumes and the race of ET aliens even show up in Star Wars The Phantom Menace as members of the Galactic Senate. X marks the spot in The Departed Easter eggs in films: X marks the spot in The Departed Pic: Warner Bros Similar to how oranges played a role in The Godfather, Martin Scorcese used Xs to illustrate who… wasn’t going to appear in a sequel if you catch our drift. Just before each main character is about to meet their end, an X appears in a subtle way on the screen, and now that you’ve been told to look out for it, you can’t miss it. Wes Craven channels Freddy Krueger Wes Craven as Fred in Scream Pic: Paramount Pictures In the first Scream movie, Wes Craven paid tribute to another of his famed works with a great cameo appearance. The film’s director appears as a janitor named ‘Fred’ who just so happens to be dressed like Freddy Krueger from his 1984 hit, A Nightmare on Elm Street. Nick Fury quote sounds familiar The gravestone for Nick Fury in Captain America The Winter Soldier includes a Pulp Fiction Easter egg Pic: Marvel Studios Spoiler alert for those who haven’t seen the film, but in Captain America The Winter Soldier, Nick Fury fakes his death and on his gravestone is a rather familiar quote. Pulp Fiction fans will be quick to notice that the Bible verse ‘The path of the righteous man… Ezekiel 25:17’ is also uttered by Samuel L Jackson (who plays Fury) in the famed Quentin Tarantino film. Are Elsa and Rapunzel related? Eugene and Rapunzel with Anna in Frozen Pic: Disney While fans have long suspected that the Disney Princesses are all related in some way, shape or form, or at least live in the same universe, fuel was added to the fire in the first Frozen outing. As Anna bursts out to the crowd sining For The First Time In Forever ahead of Elsa’s coronation, Tangled’s lovebirds Rapunzel and Eugene/Flynn have be seen making their way into the castle.
