All the witches in Shrek Forever After are green like the Wicked Witch of the West from The Wizard of Oz. And when Rumple kills one he does it by throwing water on her and she melts and says the WWoWs classic line what a world.
Shrek 2 also has Oz references. The talking apple trees that attacked Dorothy and Scarecrow are arm wrestling, Fairygodmother travels by bubble a la Glinda, I believe there is a parody of the Ive a feeling were not in Kansas anymore line as well.

As much as there's one Marvel reference (I think, multiple Disney references, and other references. .. The ONLY reference I got when watching this movie was the one from Tobey Maguire's Spider-Man, because my brothers and me watched Spider-Man before watching Shrek.
And if they REALLY wanted to make any pop culture references in this movie, then they would've had the guts to add the Mouse and the Fawn (Mickey and Great Prince Bambi.

When Donkey said, I say we take the sword and neuter him right here. Give him the Bob Barker treatment, that was easily a spoof of the spay and neuter sign-off from The Price is Right, one of my favorite game shows! And coincidentally, the Magic Mirror gave another reference to the popular game show by uttering, Puss in Boots, Come on Down! You're the next contestant on Hero Time!

There is this other reference I found in Shrek 4. In the scene when Rumple has a meeting with the witches, he splashes one of them with water, causing the witch to melt and say: What a world! What a world! in the process. This is a reference to the scene in Wizard of Oz, when the Wicked Witch of the West melts after water splashes on her.

I definitely caught some of these pop culture references but missed others. Time to rewatch these movies and then watch the movies that are being referenced if I havent seen them yet.

I'm not a fan of the last 2 movies, but disrespecting the premise of a reference is so wrong. I'm talking about Snow White using Led Zepplin's Immigrant Song as a battle cry.

It should have been top 20. I liked the Sir Justin reference in Shrek 2 when Cameron Diaz and Justin Timberlake were dating. The Knights parody of Cops was hilarious.

Bonus from the TV holiday special, when Gingy flashes back to what happened to his girlfriend, Santa sounds like something from a Godzilla movie.

Right before Number 5 happened, there was a Street Fighter reference too because Fiona did the Spinning Bird Kick and the famous Shoryuken

There are infinite references, Duloc is an obvious parody of Disneyland and the puppets' song is a parody of It's a small world

My favorite is when the authorities find catnip on Puss and he says, It's not mine. Guess that's an homage to Cops, the old tv show?

I love the Mission Impossible reference because it then leads to Pinocchio having to lie about what kind of underwear hes wearing.

#1 is not just a callback to The Matrix, but also a nod to Robin Hood: Men in Tights (Mike Myers is a huge Mel Brooks fan.
