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 over ten years, and is currently Doctor Who Editor and WhoCulture Channel Manager, overseeing all of WhatCulture's Whoniverse coverage. In 2022, he took charge of WhoCulture and has grown it into the biggest Doctor Who channel on YouTube, and one of the biggest Doctor Who communities on the web full-stop. He has been writing and video editing since his early teens, and first got a taste for content creation after making his own Doctor Who trailers, off the back of a burning obsession with the Matt Smith era of the show. Like many his age, he first got into Doctor Who with the 2005 revival, but has since gone back and fallen in love with the classic years too. If you need someone to recite every Doctor Who episode in order, or to give you a random factoid about the making of Gridlock, Danny is the person to ask!
