Add something

Audio problem: When the Fairy Godmother sings "Holding Out for a Hero" she tells the pianist to 'put it in C minor,' yet the pianist immediately begins to play in G minor, and the rest of the song is sung in that key. (01:08:15)

Audio problem: When Fairy Godmother is lying on the piano using her wand as a microphone and singing about tossing and turning, sometimes Kyle's hands don't match the sounds of the piano. This is especially visible in very last shot - just before she says "Hit it", Kyle raises one hand and then we hear a part requiring both hands.

Mistakes

Continuity mistake: When Puss in Boots plants his sword in the ground then jumps out of his boots, his sword, boots and hat are nowhere near any trees or grass. Yet after attacking Shrek, Puss in Boots lands in his boots, and his boots, sword and hat have moved to being right beside a tree. (00:32:30)

Shrek: Donkey, you have the right to remain silent. What you lack is the capacity.

Questions

Question: When Shrek and the gang decide to visit the Muffin Man, Shrek says, "We're going to need flour, lots and lots of flour." I remember a similar line (but not referring to flour) from another movie. What movie was that from and what was the line?

Answer: Quite possibly from "The Matrix". "We need guns. Lots of guns."
