We've already mentioned how Uncharted 3 includes references to several Hollywood action movies, but the game actually ended up inspiring one too.

The sequence in which Nate boards a huge cargo plane that crashes into the desert was something that director Christopher McQuarrie looked at when making the fifth instalment of the Mission Impossible movie series.

That film opens with a scene where Tom Cruise attempts to board a flying plane, and the similar scene in Uncharted 3 was one of the inspirations behind this stunt.

Danny has been with WhatCulture for almost nine years, and is currently Doctor Who Editor and WhoCulture Channel Manager, overseeing all of WhatCulture's Whoniverse coverage. He has been writing and video editing for 10+ years, and first got a taste for content creation after making his own Doctor Who trailers and uploading them to YouTube (they're admittedly a bit rusty by today's standards). If you need someone to recite every Doctor Who episode in order or to tell you about the making of 1988's Remembrance of the Daleks, Danny is the person to ask.
