Shrek 2's nod to the OJ Simpson car chase has resurfaced following the news of the former American football star's death aged 76.
Ninety-five million Americans watched as the former American football running back’s white Ford Bronco, driven by his friend Al Cowlings with Simpson in the back with a handgun, led police on a 90-minute-long pursuit on 17 June 1994 after his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ron Goldman were murdered.
He was acquitted in a trial the following year.
The chase was recreated in the 2004 Dreamworks film, in which a "dispatcher" says "We’ve got a white bronco heading east into the forest" referring to the horse Donkey turns into.
