2. A Trailer Vandalised By The Joker - The Dark Knight

Christopher Nolan may put up a stern front, but he nevertheless allowed a cutesy gag to be included on the Blu-ray release of The Dark Knight. The clip is a trailer for the movie that has been vandalised by The Clown Prince of Crime (Heath Ledger) himself.

In addition to scribbling over the various heroes' faces with Joker makeup, writing "Boring" over Bruce Wayne (Christian Bale), "Party pooper" over Batman and referring to himself as "#1", he also adds glasses to Alfred's face and scrawls a heart over Rachel Dawes (Maggie Gyllenhaal). D'awww.

The clip also screws with the editing in a few places, de-syncing the sound, repeating clips and even rewinding part of the trailer. Oh, and The Joker defaces the movie's logo to read "The Dork Knight." Nice.

How To Find It: On disc 2, select Trailer 3, and while it's playing, type "56537" on your remote. This spells out "Joker", and after a brief pause, the defaced trailer will play.
