Black Panther: 30 Easter Eggs & References You Probably Missed

11. The Rhinos

One of the most exciting things about the film's final act is the battle between T'Challa's forces (helped by the Han Solo-like late arrival of M'Bkau and the Jabari) and those led by Killmonger and W'Kabi.

And the best thing about the battle is the employment of W'Kabi's battle rhinos, which join the fray and threaten to take everyone down before Black Panther takes it upon himself to take them on himself.

His fight with one of the rhinos is reminiscent of an encounter he had around the time of T'Challa's rise in the comics in the 80s in Peter B. Gillis/Denys Cowan Black Panther mini-series.

The way he takes one of the beasts down in a headlock is almost an exact replica of the panels from the comic.
