In the Kung Fu Panda movies, Oogway's words, “One often meets his destiny on the road he takes to avoid it," ends up as the major plot points of all 3 movies so far.
When Shifu sends the messenger to Tai Lung's prison, Oogway mentions that many destinies are fulfilled in the attempt to avoid it.
Tai Lung is able to escape using the messenger's dropped feather. Also, during the escape, almost every time Tai Lung is stuck, a guard attempting to restrain him gives him an opportunity to move forward. A guard tries to shoot him with a ballista/crossbow: Tai Lung uses it to break his restraints. They raise the platform so he can't escape: he uses the bolts as a makeshift staircase. They shoot a volley of arrows at him: he uses the raised platform as a shield. This goes on all the way until he escapes.

Po's Dreams Turn Into Reality By 'Kung Fu Panda 3'
In the opening scene of Kung Fu Panda, we hear Po narrate the adventures of a warrior Panda while playing make-believe. In Kung Fu Panda 3, he is wearing the same costume he imagined.
In Kung Fu Panda, Mantis says that the acupuncture isn’t working well because it’s too hard to find the right nerve points under all his fur (and fat). This explains why in the final battle, he is immune to Tai Lung’s nerve attack, which had crippled everyone else.
In Kung Fu Panda 2, the large central pagoda of Gongmen City has 9 tiers. This is typical of Chinese pagoda architecture, which almost always has an odd number of tiers — usually between 3 and 13, according to Wikipedia.
In Kung Fu Panda 2 (2011), Mr. Ping is now making tofu along with his classic noodles. In the first movie, he mentioned that he had a dream about it but called the whole idea stupid. After his son followed his dream of being a Kung Fu master, Mr. Ping made his dream a reality.
