Mafia own hookers according to IMDB. Probably not an Urban Legend either since this is an Uwe Boll movie.

Combovers don't work when there is no hair
Yeah, I think the reasoning behind hiring the hookers was that it was cheaper than hiring real actors :lol

Aw, man.. came to post this.
And then, of course, there was the Daryl = Gogo urban rumor from the same era.
I remember searching high and low to find out who the live-action Jill was to no avail.

In Xenogears, there was a rumor that you can recruit Dominia after Elly
I believed that.
swallowed by Deus
I think she has dialog for later parts in the game.

We got it from friends (from school most likely) and only found out years later it was an April Fools joke from EGM.

The building across the water in the Dam level of Goldeneye. The myth was that there was a secret weapons cache in there. I had to look it up just now to see if it was actually true or not.

Can you show them? Havent saw
I've read that too. I guess they could have been reverse-engineered from the script with no way to trigger them in game.

That's not false. Unless you mean playable?

Unused files exist in many games. What kind of dialogue anyway? Maybe just erased lines from her "lifestream reincarnation" in some flashbacks or whatever

I remember hearing about some new Strider for the original Xbox floating around.
That and Shinobi supposedly being a port from the Dreamcast to PS2.
Sometimes I still wonder...

yeah, but I think we can probably thank them for the existence of Akuma and Gouken.
I'd say bike stages in Streets of Rage 3.

Sonic Adventure had some fun ones. Special Chao (some of which were real), unopenable doors, and such.
The one that probably drove me the most crazy was in Megaman Legends 2. There's a screen on the back of the box that shows a town that isn't in the game. It used to be debated whether or not if it was a secret in the game.
In all likelihood, it was probably just an early version of Nino Island or something, but the presence of the blue-haired girl made it seem noteworthy, as she stood out so much.

Yup I mean playable.
I STILL do this. I know it does nothing but I do it anyways.
It does something, but it just changes the Random Number to anther Random Number.

Taping a coin to the SNES version of Mortal Kombat to unlock blood was an april fools that developed a bit of shelf life back then.
Beating Balio & Sunder in their first battle of BOFIII due to the strategy guide being mistranslated or somesuch. Glad I heard about it well after I'd completed the game and never had a chance to embark on that particularly quixotic quest.

To this day I swear while playing Super Mario Bros on NES the game would occasionally glitch and get those fragmented graphics where things would look 'reversed' -- I beat the first stage and I could see Mario actually pulling up the flag after he entered the castle, since the door was no longer completely black. Never seen it confirmed.

All the good ones are taken, so I'll go with changing the age in DOA2 changing the bounce on the girls. I still see people spouting this nonsense, too.

A warp zone in the final stage of Battle Toads that leads you back to the very first level.
The moves you use while the eyes are open are used on you by your doppelganger in Double Dragon 2 NES.
