Influenced By

  1. Big Trouble in Little China (1986)
    "Waititi: 'The thing I love about that film is Jack Burton, all he wants, his only thing that he wants, is to get his truck back.' Big Trouble's tonal template — heroic-character-who-fails — was Waititi's explicit Thor model." source
  2. Flash Gordon (1980)
    "Waititi: 'Flash Gordon was the only film I showed the heads of department before shooting.' Cited as biggest single influence — color, space-opera tone, road-trip-of-mismatched-misfits structure." source
  3. Thor: The Dark World (2013)
    "Direct prequel in the MCU Thor trilogy." source
