With video game movies and TV adaptions comes a large use of Easter Eggs and references to the source material, the Uncharted film being no different in this regard.

And while some of these Easter Eggs are obvious to fans, some can be easily missed and may go over the heads of even some hardcore Uncharted fans. Spoiler alert for those who have yet to see the Uncharted film as the end of the events of the movie will be discussed throughout.

10 Sully Sporting His Iconic Facial Hair

Early trailers for the film teased Mark Wahlberg’s Victor “Sully” Sullivan with his iconic mustache. And while the majority of the film seems he goes without it, a final post-credits scene pays tribute to his look from the game series.

When a deal between Tom Holland’s Nathan Drake and a man named Gabe is seemingly going south, Sully enters to save the day. However, his heroic introduction is overshadowed by a brand-new mustache that Nathan Drake makes fun of immediately. After a couple of moments of banter between the two, the thugs are taken care of and the duo escape with what they wanted. However, not before Drake steals a cigar that he throws Sully’s way much to his joy.

9 A Dad Joke Taken Straight From The Games

While Mark Wahlberg’s take on fan-favorite Sully may not be what fans expected, he still manages to capture some important parts of the character’s personality. This largely manifests through his dialogue and mannerisms in the film.

During their search for the treasure, Sully, Nate, and Chloe end up coming across a church that is more than meets the eye. In a moment where the characters are searching in the depths and with water, Sully can be heard saying “Well, well, well.” While the joke is cringe-worthy and silly, it is one Sully also makes in multiple Uncharted games.

8 The Naughty Dog Sticker

The makers of the Uncharted film really tried to pay their respects to the source material. Observant viewers might notice a familiar-looking logo during a moment in the movie that is a direct nod to the game’s developer.

On Nathan Drake suitcase, a nice big sticker can be seen that gamers will know to be the logo for Developer Naughty Dog. Naughty Dog of course is the team that brought the Uncharted games to life as well as many other iconic gaming series like Crash Bandicoot.

7 A Gift From A Brother

One of the tools Nathan Drake uses frequently throughout the film is a lighter that belonged to his older brother Sam. And while it may barely work and seem like an old, useless lighter, its inclusion is a great showcase of the attention to detail director Ruben Fleischer put in the film.

When working together in Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End, Nate, and Sam use said lighter frequently to help solve puzzles. This Easter Egg is simply a little reference to the games that actually brings forth a great amount of comedy in the film.

6 A Ring And A Motto

Nathan and his brother Sam grow up as orphans, lacking much of a connection to their family and seemingly left to their own devices for most of their childhood. However, one important heirloom from their family features in the film that plays a large role in the games.

In the opening moments of the film, Sam can be seen handing his younger brother Nathan a necklace of a ring. The ring, inscribed with the Latin words for “Greatness From Small Beginnings”, is a nice Easter Egg that could even play a bigger role in the sequel.

5 The Uncharted Font On Full Display

As with any great adventure film, Nathan Drake and company travel across the world in the film in search of treasure. And as is the way, movies like to announce in a giant text which country the characters find themselves in any chance they get.

For those paying attention to these announcements, the text is written in the same font used for the title of the Uncharted games. A small but great Easter Egg that fans most likely missed this given the subtle detail of its inclusion.

4 The Cargo Plane Scene

This Easter Egg was hard to miss given it was used in every trailer for the film. However, for those who haven’t played the games, the hype around this moment may have left you confused and questioning why people found it so familiar.

The Uncharted games have amazing set pieces. However, few are as iconic as the cargo plane sequence in Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception. While the film changes the actual setting of the scene from the desert to the ocean, the way the sequence plays out is almost scene for scene from the actual game.

3 A Discovery In A Cave

Just like the Cargo Plane Scene, another moment in the film takes great inspiration from another iconic moment. This time from the fourth game in the series, Uncharted: A Thief’s End.

The moment is when Nathan Drake finally discovers the long-lost ships he had been searching for throughout the film in a cave. The image of the pirate ships trapped and hidden in a cave is similar to Nathan’s discovery in the aforementioned title.

2 The Auction Heist

Speaking of moments inspired by A Thief’s End, one of the best scenes in the film is heavily inspired by a moment from the fourth game. In the film, Sully and Nate attend an auction with the intention to steal the La Cruz De La Hermandad Cross. An artifact they believe to be pivotal in leading them to the treasure they’re looking for.

An action-packed and fast-paced scene, the auction heist in the film mirrors one from Uncharted 4. While the item they’re stealing is different and the two men are also joined by Sam Drake in the game, the way the heist plays out in the movie follows a similar narrative to the one in the title.

1 A Cameo From A Familiar Voice

Fans who have played the games may have heard a familiar voice when Nathan Drake and Chloe Frazer were emerging from the water near the end of the film. That’s because the man lying by the beach is none other than the voice actor of Nathan Drake, Nolan North.

This little cameo is not only a great homage to the games but also a good nod of respect to North, whose portrayal of the character throughout the games is widely regarded as one of the most iconic performances in gaming. This moment, while small, feels like a sign of approval from the voice actor and serves as a passing of the torch moment.
