10. The Homage to an Historical Warrior
At one point in the movie, Killmonger breaks a spear in half to use it as a stabbing weapon. This move was a tribute to the famous African general Shaka Zulu, the man who invented the weapon in question. Known as the iklwa, the short spear was made to be of continuous use in battle (as opposed to getting tossed away like the spears that came before).
