Continuity: In the scene where the mirror is brought in for Lord Farquad, Gingerbread Man lies on a tray on the table. When the mirror is shown, and it cuts back to Lord Farquad, the tray is moved to the other side of the table.

Continuity: When Shrek backs into the two barrels at the tournament, they both have taps on them. He then bashes one of these off with the beer mug. But when Donkey rolls the other barrel the tap has vanished on that one as well.

Continuity: When Lord Farquaad announces Shrek as champion, there are flagposts surrounding them. In the close-up of Shrek and Donkey, these flagpoles have disappeared, as have the shields on the walls that the flagpoles stand on.
