PHONE BOOTH menu contains spoilers

For those of you who have not seen PHONE BOOTH and decide to check out the DVD, do not view the Special Features menu prior to watching the film, as it gives away one of the key points in the film.

Can you tell us what the spoiler is for those of us who have seen the movie?

Edit: Woah, Static nearly beat me to it...

Can you put the key point it spoils in spoiler tags? Just curious.

Spoiler:
The special features menu reveals the gun which is hidden in the phone booth's ceiling. After seeing that menu, I kept waiting for the gun to appear, thus spoiling any suspense.

As for the cover, you only realize that it's a spoiler after you've watched the entire movie. We hear Sutherland's voice in the trailer, so we know he's the sniper. While's it true that the cover shows one of the last frames from the film, I don't think it will ruin the movie for anyone.

that is'nt really a spoiler. If anyone saw the trailer or any commericals at all, we all know who the sniper person is and if you watched that show that comes on tue at 9 on fox, you should know who it is.

I think it's a big spoiler.

Yes, I recognized the voice -- but I assumed the sniper was using a voice-altering phone, so I didn't rely on the voice being an actual identification.
