* There are a couple of Shout Outs to the developers' native Scotland. The railroad bridge leading from San Fierro is obviously modelled on the Forth Railway Bridge. There are probably several more in the series.
* There's also the [[Series/TheATeam Mr.T]] hair and beard you can get. And The Lil' Probe Inn? And Music/KurtCobain.
* Certain [=NPCs=] look like Creator/WillSmith.
* A pedestrian found in the upstate parts of San Andreas looks almost identical to [[Creator/SharonStone Sharon Stone]] as Catherine Tramell in [[Film/BasicInstinct Basic Instinct]], right down to the iconic white dress and twisted hairstyle.
* Look at a picture of [[http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20060919024546/gtawiki/images/1/1e/Ryder-GTASA.jpg Ryder]], then a picture of [[http://hiphopnewssource.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/easye.png Eric Wright]], a.k.a. Music/EazyE, a pioneer of GangstaRap.
* Blink and you'll miss it: During the convenience store/tanker robbery with Catalina, the convenience store's bulletproof outer glass has a logo in the corner that says [[VideoGame/MaxPayne Max Pane]]. You can see it most clearly just at the end of the mission's opening cutscene.
* Clucking Bell may be a reference to ''Series/{{Blackadder}}''; at a stressful moment Edmund says he's thinking of [[GettingCrapPastTheRadar "a phrase that rhymes with [it]"]]
* In the mission "Air Raid", you have to gun down RC planes that are coming to bomb Zero's antennas. After you gun a few down, Zero may call out "[[StarWars Great kid, don't get cocky!]]"
* In one of the [[PimpedOutCar car-modding garages]], one of the custom paintjobs for [[http://www.grandtheftwiki.com/File:Sultan-GTASA-modified-front.jpg the Sultan]] is very similar to the [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subaru_World_Rally_Team#Vehicle_development one seen on the Subaru Impreza]] used by the company to participate in the World Rally Championship.
* There is a reference to the original ''Half-Life'' inside Area 69, which bears a striking resemblance to the Black Mesa Research Facility, complete with Gordon Freeman's crowbar sitting on a table.
* The mission "Just Business" features a large truck breaking off of a bridge over a flood control channel into the channel below. It looks suspiciously [[note]]read: overwhelmingly[[/note]] like a scene from ''Film/Terminator2JudgmentDay'', released one year before the game is set.
* Certain [=NPCs=] are dressed as Cuba Gooding, Jr.'s character in Film/BoyzNTheHood.
* One mission for [[TheStoner The Truth]] which has CJ stealing a combine harvester from a farm run by survivalists [[MythologyGag is entitled]] VideoGame/BodyHarvest.
* The Truth's preoccupation with the number 23 is a reference to ''{{Literature/Illuminatus}}''
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qZetAJ5YTIY Los Santos cemetery]] is home to a crypt where you see a lounge chair, TV and pizza boxes, suggesting that [[Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer Spike]] vacationed here before moving to Sunnydale. And in what cannot be a coincidence the Triads have as part of their ''business association'' a bespectacled cutie named [[Series/{{Angel}} Fred.]]
* The first mission in San Fierro (alongside a hippie) is of course titled "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bch1_Ep5M1s Wear flowers in your hair]]".
* Ken Rossenberg has a pet bird named Tony, named after the protagonist of ''Film/{{Scarface}}'', and even quotes a line from the flick.

Added DiffLines:

* There are a couple of Shout Outs to the developers' native Scotland. The railroad bridge leading from San Fierro is obviously modelled on the Forth Railway Bridge. There are probably several more in the series.
* There's also the [[Series/TheATeam Mr.T]] hair and beard you can get. And The Lil' Probe Inn? And KurtCobain.
* Certain [=NPCs=] look like WillSmith.
* Look at a picture of [[http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20060919024546/gtawiki/images/1/1e/Ryder-GTASA.jpg Ryder]], then a picture of [[http://www.layoutlocator.com/graphics/dldimg/c431c27a555841ff20a7dea259acaa7d_e3102807042323.gif Eric Wright]], a.k.a. EazyE, a pioneer of GangstaRap.
* Blink and you'll miss it: During the convenience store/tanker robbery with Catalina, the convenience store's bulletproof outer glass has a logo in the corner that says [[VideoGame/MaxPayne Max Pane]]. You can see it most clearly just at the end of the mission's opening cutscene.
* Clucking Bell may be a reference to ''{{Blackadder}}''; at a stressful moment Edmund says he's thinking of [[GettingCrapPastTheRadar "a phrase that rhymes with [it]"]]
* In the mission "Air Raid", you have to gun down RC planes that are coming to bomb Zero's antennas. After you gun a few down, Zero may call out "[[StarWars Great kid, don't get cocky!]]"
* In one of the [[PimpedOutCar car-modding garages]], one of the custom paintjobs for [[http://www.grandtheftwiki.com/File:Sultan-GTASA-modified-front.jpg the Sultan]] is very similar to the [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subaru_World_Rally_Team#Vehicle_development one seen on the Subaru Impreza]] used by the company to participate in the World Rally Championship.
* There is a reference to the original ''Half-Life'' inside Area 69, which bears a striking resemblance to the Black Mesa Research Facility, complete with Gordon Freeman's crowbar sitting on a table.
* The mission "Just Business" features a large truck breaking off of a bridge over a flood control channel into the channel below. It looks suspiciously [[note]]read: overwhelmingly[[/note]] like a scene from ''[[TheTerminator Terminator 2]]'', released one year before the game is set.
* Certain [=NPCs=] are dressed as Cuba Gooding, Jr.'s character in BoyzNTheHood.
* One mission for [[TheStoner The Truth]] which has CJ stealing a combine harvester from a farm run by survivalists [[MythologyGag is entitled]] BodyHarvest.
* The Truth's preoccupation with the number 23 is a reference to ''{{Literature/Illuminatus}}''
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qZetAJ5YTIY Los Santos cemetery]] is home to a crypt where you see a lounge chair, TV and pizza boxes, suggesting that [[Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer Spike]] vacationed here before moving to Sunnydale.
