Other mistake: When a glass of milk is poured, if you look closely, the glass is filled but the level of milk in the bottle doesn't seem to lower. (00:16:00)
Other mistake: Princess Fiona is cooking the eggs on the rock that is over the fire. She uses a big green leaf as an oven mitt to protect her from the heat, but then places her other hand on the rock, without a leaf, and somehow doesn't get burned.
Continuity mistake: Sometimes Shrek's front door opens outwards, at other times inwards, yet it can't be "two-way" because whenever it closes, it slams against the frame. (00:10:55 - 00:13:45)
Question: In theatrical trailers, when the dwarves put Snow White on Shrek's table, he says "Dead girl off the table." In the real movie, however, "girl" becomes "broad", according to the subtitles. Is there a reason why?
Answer: Broad is just a slang word meaning Woman. It was historically a bad word, but now it's not.

Chosen answer: This is most likely because "broad" isn't too nice of a word, and children of any age could watch the trailer. Parents wouldn't want their children to copy inapropriate language, obviously.
