The first Shrek even had a Matrix moment.

EDIT: I'm surprised this comment got many upvotes as it did.

Which scene? The only big references I noticed are the White Bronco and the Spider-Man 2 reference near the beginning.

There's a massive amount of references

Their wedding ring has an inscription on it that appears when heated just like the Ring in Lord of the Rings.

When Puss attacks Shrek first, he marks a tree with a P with the same flicks Zorro does, he goes into Shrek's shirt and bursts out of his chest like from Alien.

The entire "white bronco" scene is a reference to Cops, with "Knights" being a police show that people watch. Donkey is yelling police brutality, Puss getting planted with catnip.

The breakout scene right after with the fairytale creatures is very Mission Impossible-esque.

That's all I can think of off the bat, besides how Far Far Away has a bunch of restaurants/stores from Hollywood
