Trivia[]
- Jason Momoa insisted on Morrison being cast as his character's father because of the latter's critically-acclaimed performance in Lee Tamahori's 1994 film Once Were Warriors, which had a profound effect on Momoa growing up. In fact, Tom's line to Atlanna in the opening scene, "I was gonna cook you some eggs", is a tribute to a similar line from Once Were Warriors.[2]
