The third movie reference is actually based on the scene in Spider-Man (2002), not Spider-Man 2 (2004).

[@tigerlord9302]

Thanks. It’s impossible for it to reference Spider-Man 2 as they’re both from 2004.

[@julianloht9651]

My dad and I love Shrek 2 and he said it’s the best animated movie of all time. As for those movie references, I knew all of them and it’s really cool. Here’s another subtle Temple of Doom reference from the first Shrek movie. When Shrek, Donkey, and Fiona escaped from the dragon, the latter burned the bridge causing it to break, which calls back to Temple of Doom when Indiana Jones breaks the bridge hoping Mola Ram will go to you know where immediately.

From Here to Eternity is the movie reference with Shrek and Fiona kissing and the waves crash over them.

[@MykalaMatheny]

OMG I just realized that I'm pretty sure the way Shrek gets on Donkey at 2:12 is also a Lord of the Rings reference to the shot of Legolas getting on his horse the same way.

[@mrrigtastic]

0:44 don’t forget there’s a Marilyn Monroe reference

[@professorbaxtercarelessdre1075]

the only one i never realized was the E.T. reference, crazy. looking forward to more great content :)

[@sybsygstgstsgysg5330]

The oj Simpson reference always goes on over their head

[@UZiBLASTER7]

Her “kung fu skills” are actually a reference to Street Fighter.

[@huntman0883]

Yeah, I noticed that too

[@Fubbel42]

I think in the factory there's also a reference to Monsters Inc. when they slide down the ceiling hook thing, just noticed that the other day watching this movie for the 1000th time

[@ameliabooth9783]

Also, when Shrek and Puss are fighting, Puss bursts out of Shrek's shirt, referencing the iconic alien birth scene in Alien

[@thewhitewolf1156]

Maybe not a reference per se, but some story bits of Puss in Boots remind me of Indigo Montoya from Princess Bride

[@RVComix]

Well, that was super amazing.

[@worstcasescenario4898]

0:34 Spiderman 2 came out July 16th 2004 and Shrek 2 came out July 2nd 2004. So did Shrek Predict the iconic Spiderman Kiss? 🤯

[@karenrussell2923]

The Spider-Man reference in Shrek 2 where Shrek and Fiona recreate the upside down kiss 💋 is my favorite.

[@nathancruz9172]

I just realized that the chest burster was in alien 👽 including the pizza planet arcade game 🕹️ in the first Toy Story movie.

[@sethhancock]

You missed out the bit where puss Is dancing at the end dance and sits on a chair and pipes water on himself. It’s a reference to a 80s film called flashdance

[@arissimion67]

Yes thanks I just love Shrek 2.🤗

[@Benthetrainkid]

You forgot to mention the references to COPS in the KNIGHTS scene

[@akganimationstudioproducti3779]

I was about to say that

[@oznelnavnaekal6679]

And don’t forget the part where puss rips through Shrek’s shirt is a reference to the alien movies.

[@sybsygstgstsgysg5330]

And the oj Simpson reference from the knights scene

[@TheDeepEnd318]

[@joshuabaughn3734]

After the fanfare when Shrek and Fiona return home. One trumpeter blasts the theme to Hawaii 5-0.

[@fallen_ashenlore7869]

[@AceProductions91]

E.T. tells Gertie to be good, not Elliot

[@adamdasilva5061]

Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man 1 and 3, not 2

[@nitkonikada9892]

Love u guyzzz

[@tigerlord9302]

It’s impossible for Shrek 2 to reference Spider-Man 2 as they’re both from 2004.

[@brunhildevalkyrie]

no one wants the commentary

[@draytonreed8984]

Personally I'm not a fan the Little Mermaid reference in Shrek 2. She just washes up onto Shrek by accident and then out of jealousy, Fiona drags her across the beach and throws her back into the sea and the mermaid is set upon by a couple of sharks, but nobody knows for sure if she escaped or if they ate her. I get that this was suppose to be funny, but I just find it to be cruel on Fiona's part, especially when the mermaid gives a shrill scream. I'm ashamed of Fiona for that.
