10 Best Music Sequences In The Shrek Films

10. Shrek Turns Gladiator (Bad Reputation - Halfcocked)

After losing his swamp to a horde of exiled fairytale creatures, Shrek takes matters into his own hands and decides to confront Lord Farquaad, who decreed they be banished to the swamp.

Whilst taking in the sights of Farquaad's kingdom of Duloc and getting stunned into silence by a band of singing puppets, Shrek accidentally stumbles into the city's equivalent of The Royal Rumble as Farquaad searches for a champion to rescue Princess Fiona from the dragon's castle.

Farquaad is disgusted by the mere presence of Shrek and declares that whoever kills the ogre would be the crowned champion.

In an impressive fight sequence (look out for Shrek's use of The People's Elbow), Shrek successfully reduces the soldiers to a pile of weapons and armour all set to the punk rock classic - Bad Reputation.

Originally released in 1980 by Joan Jett And The Blackhearts, Bad Reputation is covered by punk band Halfcocked. Interestingly, this song is also Ronda Rousey's track of choice for when she enters the ring. Clearly this is a good song for a fight!

Look out for the classic line "Some of you may die, but it's a sacrifice I am willing to make." which is now a popular meme template.
