I'm referring to the corrupt minions piling their way to Gru as they chase him. It reminded me of the ill infected humans in WWZ. The writers for both films are not the same, and the production companies for both are not the same. Did the writers for DM2 know about World War Z before it was advertised, or is that purple minion scene just coincidentally similar?
shareBesides WWZ i recognized some StarWars references. Mainly the arrival of the aircraft, guns blazing and Yoda standing in the doorway. Looked pretty similar although it has been a while since i saw SW 2/3. Anyone thought this as well?
shareThey are all very good references, coincidence or not.
I love the purple minion who bellows and points when it realizes the disguized minions, that is almost a perfect mimic of Donald Sutherland in Invasion of The Body Snatchers.
Thank you! I caught that as well. That whole scene included references to Body Snatchers, The Shining (wave of minions through the hallway), and of course, WWZ.
This movie was filled to the brim with references like that. I'll have to watch it a few times to catch them all, of course.
You just read this in my voice.
I think I caught Full Metal Jacket in there too.

I noticed that and was wondering exactly the same thing while I was watching this!
