* ''VideoGame/MaxPayne3'' scared a lot of fans of the series with its radical change of setting to UsefulNotes/SaoPaulo. In Brazil, however, it gained a lot of attention because Brazilians are wondered how much it will completely misrepresent them. The trailer seemed to show Hispanic people speaking in Spanish accents, in what seems like a pretty standard [[TheCartel Mexican drug lord]] plot set in California. With the game out, it's actually pretty good - we get to see both the luxurious modern locales of the superrich and the favela squalour, racial variation, Portuguese use and [[PoliceBrutality Brutal Police]] CaptainErsatz of [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Batalh%C3%A3o_de_Opera%C3%A7%C3%B5es_Policiais_Especiais BOPE]]. Max does make the soccer player goof, though, and the confusion of this trope is invoked with [[spoiler: Passos: he's revealed to be Colombian, not Brazilian, in order to lure Max to Brazil as hired muscle. Max even comments on his phony accent after it seems Passos betrays him.]]
