What's left behind the scenes
- In the scene where Gru tries to call Lucy and ask her on a date, the following numbers are clearly visible: 626-584-5723. If you call this number, you can hear a voicemail from Kristen Wiig as Agent Lucy Wilde.
- In the scene where Gru sneaks into El Macho's base by pretending to be captured by two mutated minions (who are actually covered in icing), there is a reference to the film 'Invasion of the Body Snatchers' (1978) when one of the minions discovers his true nature.
- The scene where Gyu is looking at a painting in the wig shop, performing characteristic movements, is a reference to the full-length film "Mr. Bean" (1997), which features a similar moment.
- When Gru is inspecting the shopping mall, he sees a man inflating a balloon only to pop it and make a child cry. The crying child is the same one Gru made cry by popping a balloon at the beginning of the first film.
