Final Destination 3 picture

Easter egg: On the 'choose their fate' version of the movie, straight after Ashlyn says 'oh a few degrees won't hurt' you get asked which temperature she should change it to (73 degrees or 76 degrees) if you choose 76 degrees, you see Ashlyn and Ashley's alternate death. Instead of being incinerated, the pair are electrocuted, as Ashlyn manages to get out of her tanning bed before the wood shelf jams the pair in, instead she is hit in the head (and knocked unconscious) by the wooden shelf. She later awakens, frees the wood from Ashley's bed, and quotes "I got you" and grabs Ashley's hand, but the glass of the bed underneath Ashley breaks, and she falls into the wiring of the tanning bed, electrocuting them both.

Easter egg: On Disc 2 of the limited edition DVD, select the Clock icon on the main menu. When you get a series of questions, pick C for all of them, until you get 4 pics of a woman changing her tire, then put the pics in reverse order.

Flightplan picture

Easter egg: I found this on the full screen DVD. When you're at the main menu, keep pressing your left arrow button until the leftmost screen (located on the back of the seats) lights up. I'm not quite sure exactly what it leads you to, but it appears to be a 3-D model of the plane. I had to press fastforward to get through it, because it does take a little while. It starts off in English, then cycles to what I believe is German.
