Easter egg: Go from the main menu to the "Special Features" menu, then select "Storyboards." Storyboard selections are shown next to an image of Peter Cushing with one huge eye. scroll the cursor down to the words "Special Features" then move the cursor to the right. Cushing's eye will be highlighted. Select it to see the film's "Swedish Bookstore" scene, which is shown backwards in the actual film, as it was shot (forwards).
Top Secret! (1984)
1 easter egg
Directed by: David Zucker, Jim Abrahams
Starring: Val Kilmer, Peter Cushing, Jeremy Kemp, Lucy Gutteridge
Continuity mistake: Chocolate Mousse and Deja Vu are playing darts on the plane at the end of the movie. In the next shot where Hillary is hugging her father, the darts change positions. (01:23:35)
Hillary Flammond: I know a little German. He's sitting over there.
Trivia: Just in case some people don't know, most of the "German" in this movie is total gibberish. Some sentences are perfectly correct and properly spoken, as with the welcoming speech, the German soldiers and platform announces at the station, the "Ich liebe dich, mein Schatz", etc. But the learning tape, the conversations at the Culture Hall during dinner and the East Germany Anthem are just a bunch of "German-dutch sounding noises." Of course, it's even funnier to know that there are subtitles for all these with content that has nothing to do with it.

Answer: It looks like an attack plan with the symbols representing buildings, trees and a church or graveyard in the village, the arrows representing troops and the Resistance, and the dotted line some kind of battle line.
