Once Nate breaks free of his handcuffs and starts landing haymakers left and right, look closely and you'll spot a number of specific moves lifted from the games.

First up is just the way Nathan is throwing punches. The wide, almost "flailing" swings are how Nate's attacks were animated in the first game - a phenomenal attention to detail.

Next he gets grabbed from behind, jumping to land a dropkick that sends another assailant flying. This is from Uncharted 3, as a big deal before launch was Naughty Dog adding more moves for us to use in the game's brawling sections.

Third is the spinning reverse elbow Nate uses on the man holding him. Going back to the first couple of games, this is a set animation whenever you broke out of an enemy hold.

Following this we have enemy El Tigre catching Drake's leg, only for him to think for a second and pull off an enziguri. Connoting the final stage of the three-hit flurry you could do in the first game in particular, it resulted in a knockout there, too.

Lastly and most showboat-y, Nate knocks the final enemy to the ground near the close of the film with a flying superman punch. One of the new features added to combat in Uncharted 4, this is yet another brilliant transition from game to screen.
