What's left behind the scenes
- All the voices of the minions in the original version belong to the film's directors, Pierre Coffin and Chris Renaud.
- Instead of Leonid Yarmolnik, who voiced Gru in the first part of the cartoon, the role in the Russian dubbing went to Sergey Burunov.
- 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.
- 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.
- When Gru first visits the Minions in the underground workshop, you can notice several Minions eating on top of a crossbeam. This scene is a tribute to the famous 1932 photograph "Lunch Atop a Skyscraper."
- Originally, Al Pacino was cast as Eduardo and even recorded his lines, but he later left the project due to creative differences. Benjamin Bratt took his place.
- At the beginning of the film, people in yellow shirts speaking a foreign language are shown. This is a nod to the original design of the Minions for the film "Despicable Me" (2010). Their final, shorter appearance came about due to the low budget of the first film.
- Javier Bardem was supposed to voice the villain, but he left the project.
- At the beginning of the film, when the magnet ship appears, one of the researchers falls and screams the 'Wilhelm scream'.
- A photo of Dr. Nefario on the beach is pinned to his workspace. The exact same photo appeared during his phone call to Gru in the first film.
- This is Illumination Entertainment's first sequel.
- In Gru's house, the petals of the flower in the painting form a biohazard symbol.
- There's a small scene in the film where Edith plays ping-pong with a Minion, but uses nunchucks instead of a paddle. This is a reference to a famous Chinese Nokia commercial featuring a man parodying Bruce Lee playing ping-pong with nunchucks.
- There are at least two Minions named Kevin. In the first film, Kevin is a one-eyed Minion, while in the sequel, Kevin is a taller Minion with two eyes.
- The scene where Gru examines a painting in a wig shop, performing characteristic movements, is a reference to the full-length film 'Mr. Bean' (1997), which features a similar moment.
- In the episode of Gru's battle with the chicken in El Macho's restaurant, there's a reference to the film 'Alien,' when the chicken bursts through Gru's sweater in the chest area.
- The final song of the Minions in the Russian release contains the word 'truselya' (underwear), while in the Ukrainian release it says 'u trusakh' (in underwear).
- At Gru and Lucy's wedding, the minions in white suits begin to sing the song "I Swear" by All-4-One. The members of this group were also in white suits in the music video for this song.
- In the scene where Gru infiltrates El Macho's base, 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 realizes what is happening.
- 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.
