* The game clearly pays homage to ''Film/TheLivingDaylights'' by having Nate fight mooks on the open loading ramp of a cargo plane.

* In the chapter "Abducted", Ramses' ship is named "The Seaward", which is also the name of Gob's boat in ''Series/ArrestedDevelopment''.

Not intentional on the part of the developers = Not a Shout Out.


* Nate does a [[Film/TheLivingDaylights Living Daylights]]. If you haven't seen that movie, that means Nate is fighting bad guys while hanging out the back of a cargo plane ''in mid-flight''.
* Possibly just straight GettingCrapPastTheRadar, but the name of Rameses's ship is ''[[Series/ArrestedDevelopment The Seaward]]''.



* Nate rides a horse through a tight canyon, looking very much like the end to ''Film/IndianaJonesAndTheLastCrusade''.
* Talbot's blowdarts [[spoiler: and the water in Iram of the Pillars]] seem to be tainted with [[VideoGame/BatmanArkhamSeries the Scarecrow's fear toxin.]]
* Again, not necessarily intentional, but it's nice to think that Sully's "This is why we can't have nice things!" in Chapter 22 was a deliberate reference to ''WesternAnimation/{{Archer}}''.

* As Nate's briefing his team [[spoiler: Cutter]] constantly interjects, explaining a ''Film/JamesBond'' reference and when T.E. Lawrence is brought up, responds with "[[Film/LawrenceOfArabia Great film.]]"

** He corrects a common BeamMeUpScotty [[{{Inuniverse}} in-universe]] with great irritation: "It's '[[Theatre/{{Macbeth}} Lay on, Macduff]]!'"
** When John Dee's signature comes up, he almost starts explaining the relation between it and Franchise/JamesBond before he's interrupted.

Added DiffLines:

* One that comes with a hefty dose of FridgeHorror: In the pub, there's a newspaper on the wall headlined "Scientists Are Still Struggling To Understand Deadly Fungus". The action's happening in 2011 - exactly two years before TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt from ''Videogame/TheLastOfUs''. Though obviously the ''Uncharted'' sequels mean it's confined to ProductionForeshadowing status rather than a SharedUniverse.
