The Corner Penthouse

There are many websites devoted to DVD Easter Eggs, though they don't seem to have been updated in quite some time. While most DVD Easter Eggs, and some Blu-ray Easter Eggs, are listed on these sites, there are some that either aren't listed, or have incomplete or incorrect information out there. When I find that I own a disc with eggs that isn't properly represented elsewhere online, I will take it upon myself to put the correct and complete information out there for all to enjoy. Today, I'll show you the eggs on the Legally Blonde 2: Red, White & Blonde (2003) U.S. MGM Special Edition DVD.

Legally Blonde 2: Red, White & Blonde (2003) is the second film in a soon-to-be trilogy detailing the rise of bubbly blonde Elle Woods (Reese Witherspoon) from ditz to law student to animal advocate. (The third film in the franchise, Legally Blondes is not about Elle and may be disregarded in the numbering of a new theatrical film set for release in a year or two.) This film was originally released in the United States as a "Special Edition" DVD in 2003, most notably in a pink keep case with a liner booklet inside.

While the U.S. DVD lacks many of the featurettes from the foreign releases (they're all on both of the U.S. Blu-rays: MGM and Shout Factory), MGM made a considerable effort for the presentation. (You wouldn't find any studios making this much effort for a DVD or Blu-ray release now.) All of the menus feature new video of "Bruiser", Elle's little dog from the film, barking and just being cute. Since the dog is the highlight of the DVD, it is no surprise that all three of the Easter Eggs are related to him. Since there seems to be a lack of a complete definitive list of Easter eggs online for this particular disc, even though it's over 15 years old, I felt that I needed to put a complete list out there. (Screenshots by me.)
