''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mZ5sCEyt7-0 The Fall Of Liberty City Heroes]]'' is a Grand Theft Auto machinima created by [[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC8CwVsDta65Ifv5jr7nlBCQ JANTSUU]]. It tells the story of [[VideoGame/GrandTheftAutoIV Niko]], [[VideoGame/GrandTheftAutoIVTheLostAndDamned Johnny]] and [[VideoGame/GrandTheftAutoIVTheBalladOfGayTony Luis]] travelling together to [[VideoGame/GrandTheftAutoV Los Santos]] in search for a better life after watching an ad about it, but things take a turn when their plane crashes down in the middle of the desert.
Beware of spoilers!
! Tropes found in the movie:
* AgentMulder: Johnny believes in [[spoiler: zombies]], as he immediately suggests that that's what attacked him and Luis after Niko saves them.
* AgentScully: After [[BigDamnHeroes saving]] Johnny and Luis [[spoiler: from the first zombie to appear]], Niko is told by the two that there are [[spoiler: zombies]], and Niko [[NotAZombie scoffs at that notion]]...[[InstantlyProvenWrong only to turn around and find a horde of]] [[spoiler: [[ZombieGait zombies slowly marching towards them]]]].
* AreYouSureYouWantToDoThat: This question is posed by Luis to Niko regarding his plan of [[spoiler: gathering all the zombies they can attract into one building then blow it up]]. Niko responds with a BluntYes.
* AsideGlance: Done by Niko at the end of the movie.
* BigBadEnsemble: [[spoiler: The zombies]] function like this as a group.
* BigDamnHeroes: Luis and Johnny are separated from Niko after he jumps from the plane using the parachute. He comes along later just in time to shoot [[spoiler: the zombie]] that was about to attack them.
* BigNo:
** Niko lets one out as a SkywardScream after experiencing a mirage.
** Luis yells in fear and concern after Niko jumps off the plane with the parachute.
** Johnny yells it as [[spoiler: the first zombie approaches]] him and Luis.
* BloodKnight: Johnny seems to enjoy himself during their fight at the camp, evident by his hammy "Yeehaw!".
* BluntYes:
-->'''Luis:''' [[AreYouSureYouWantToDoThat Are you sure about this?]]
-->'''Niko:''' ''(nodding)'' Yes.
* BondOneLiner: Luis delivers one after [[spoiler: accidentally killing the survivor]]: Sorry!
* BoomHeadshot: How Niko dispatches [[spoiler: the first zombie]] and saves Luis and Johnny.
* ButtMonkey: Luis. He gets beaten up by Johnny on the plane, gets buried under sand after it crashes, encounters [[spoiler: the first zombie]] which terrifies him, gets the weakest weapon in the tent and ends up [[spoiler: accidentally killing the survivor and hiding it]].
* ConflictKiller: A non-evil example. The movie starts with the three protagonists running into each other with their vehicles. They argue and are about to fight (Johnny even pulls out a shotgun on the other two). That's when the advert that serves as the catalyst of the movie comes in. All three think about now is getting to the airport.
* ContrivedCoincidence: The way the protagonists meet is set up this way. Firstly, Luis is driving along normally until his car breaks down so he gets out and takes a look at the engine. Meanwhile, Niko is coming up in the exact same road (in the same frame, [[MeaningfulBackgroundEvent we see Johnny driving up behind him]]). Niko's radio starts getting scratchy so he tries to fix it as he continues driving...straight into the back of Luis' car, knocking the latter down. As Niko is about to leave his own car, Johnny continues driving and gets forcibly dismounted when he hits the car door that Niko opens.
* TheDeadHaveEyes: Upon closer inspection, it looks like [[spoiler: the zombies]] have whited-out eyes, yet they are still able to see their victims easily.
* DisposingOfABody: [[spoiler: After Luis accidentally kills the survivor, he kicks the body off the cliff]].
-->'''Luis:''' [[BondOneLiner Sorry!]]
* FailedASpotCheck: When the survivor and Johnny go to look for a tire, the former fails to notice a garage full of them that's just behind him.
* FearlessUndead: Niko [[ExploitedTrope relies]] in this to come up with a plan that involves gathering all [[spoiler: zombies by baiting them using himself into a building with planted bombs]].
* FireForgedFriends: Nike, Luis and Johnny fight two times before becoming a proper team. The first one (with their vehicules as described above). The second one occurs on the plane after Niko [[spoiler: shoots the pilot]] and the plane spirals out of control...then they spot one single parachute.
* TheFriendNobodyLikes: None of the three protagonists are really fond of the survivor guy. When [[spoiler: he accidentally get killed by Luis and they don't find him]], here's what Johnny has to say about it:
-->'''[[DeadpanSnarker Johnny]]''': That's good.
* FunnyBackgroundEvent: Johnny noticing the garage full of tires while the survivor stands in his spot thinking about how to find tires.
* HatesSmallTalk: Implied by this interaction between Luis and Niko.
-->'''Niko:''' So...\\
'''Luis:''' Uhm...\\
'''Niko:''' My name is Niko.\\
'''Luis:''' I know that, man. ''(walks away to sit on a rock and rest)''
* HereWeGoAgain: [[spoiler: After finally arriving to Los Santos]], Niko texts Roman and tells him that he's living the American dream there. Roman immediately drives to the airport, while Niko [[AsideGlance looks at the camera]] and gives a devilish grin and chuckle.
* IDidntMeanToKillHim: [[spoiler: Niko ended up shooting the pilot fatally while he was testing his pistol]].
* IllKillYou: Niko yells this at [[spoiler: the zombies]].
* IncongruouslyDressedZombie: Justified, since the movie uses models of different [=NPCs=] from the games and each model differs in clothing.
* InstantlyProvenWrong: Not a minute passes after Niko claims that there are no [[spoiler: zombies]] and there's already a horde coming up to them [[RightBehindMe behind him]].
* {{Irony}}:
** Johnny is the one who finds a tire for the survivor's car, fixes it then drive the group to the camp despite being a biker who hates cars to the point of referring to them as cages.
** Both weapons used by Niko and Johnny (the Combat MG and the Automatic Shotgun with explosive shells, respectively) are only featured in The Ballad of Gay Tony, yet Luis ends up forced to use the pistol which is available in all games.
* MeaningfulBackgroundEvent: Johnny can be spotted for a few seconds driving behind Niko on his motorcycle.
* MistakenForUndead: After their first [[spoiler: zombie encounter]], the three run into a survivor. Assuming the worst, Niko keeps his pistol pointed at him until he proves he's friendly.
* MurderByMistake: Justified [[spoiler: with Luis' murder of the survivor. He mistook him for a zombie]].
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: You can basically pin the whole blame on for Niko who [[spoiler: accidentally shooting the pilot of their plane fatally]] while in the middle of the desert, leading the three to face a lot of trouble to actually reach Los Santos. Both Luis and Johnny [[WhatTheHellHero call him out on it]].
** He manages to do it a second time when they go to the survivor's camp and he messes around with a flare and attracts zombies towards them. This one is less costly, but still.
-->'''Niko:''' Oops, my mistake.
* NotAZombie: Niko has to have an InstantlyProvenWrong moment in order to believe Johnny and Luis when they told him they ran into a [[spoiler: zombie]].
* NoZombieCannibals: [[spoiler: The zombies]] only ever target the four men.
* OhCrap: Far, far too many to count. From the airplane spiraling out of control to encountering [[spoiler: the zombies]] to planning a suicidal mission to [[spoiler: get rid of them]].
* OurZombiesAreDifferent: [[spoiler: The first zombie that appeared is the closest one any of them got to attack a human in the whole film, but we're not certain they actually eat them]].
* ScrewThisImOutOfHere: Niko ends up getting the parachute and he uses it to jump off the plane before it crashes, leaving Luis and Johnny in it.
* SkywardScream: Niko lets out a BigNo after he experiences a mirage in the desert and seen a soda vending machine and place where he can hide from the burning sun.
* PerpetualMotionMonster: Apart from [[spoiler: the first zombie]] we see eating from the trash, the rest are all seen just attacking humans. At all times.
* PreMortemOneLiner: Niko to [[spoiler: the zombies shortly before blowing them up]]: Goodbye!
* ProfaneLastWords:
-->'''[[spoiler: Survivor]]:''' ''[[spoiler: (After Luis shoots him)]]'' [[WhatTheHellHero Fucking asshole]]...
* RightBehindMe: Niko declares that [[spoiler: zombies]] aren't real. Cue a horde coming out of nowhere behind him, to his astonishment.
* {{Understatement}}: "This is not good". Said Niko [[spoiler: after shooting the pilot]].
* WhamShot:
** Niko accidentally shooting a bullet from his pistol on the plane. [[spoiler: [[OhCrap It hit the pilot]]]].
** The weird man that wakes Luis up turns around and faces the camera, [[spoiler: revealing he's a zombie]].
* WhatTheHellHero: Luis and Johnny are royally pissed at Niko when he kills their pilot accidentally.
* YouHaveGotToBeKiddingMe: The protagonists express this sentiment constantly about their predicament. Each one of them has said "bullshit" at least once.
* ZombieApocalypse: Not of the whole world but in the general area where Niko, Luis and Johnny ended up in, they come face to face with [[spoiler: zombies]].
* ZombieApocalypseHero: All three protagonists become this gradually. The survivor guy also counts.
* ZombieGait: They're relatively slowed in here.
* ZombieInfectee: The ultimate fate of [[spoiler: the survivor]]. After [[spoiler: being killed and pushed off a cliff by Luis]], we later [[spoiler: see him as a zombie]].
