| 1 | [[AC:Grand Theft Auto Classic]] |
| 2 | * One of the eight playable characters is [[Film/TaxiDriver a guy with a mohawk named Travis]]. |
| 3 | * You find a bus parked near the station in Fort Law. [[Film/{{Speed}} There's a bomb on the bus. Once the bus goes 50 mph, the bomb is armed. If it drops below 50, it blows up. What do you do?]] Also, MissionControl warns that [[Film/ReturnOfTheJedi "IT'S A TRAP!"]] |
| 4 | * The congratulations you get from Uncle Fu borrows very heavily from [[Film/TheKentuckyFriedMovie Dr. Klahn]]. |
| 5 | [[AC:London 1961/1969]] |
| 6 | * Endeavor Chambers, with his Union Jack-painted convertible and nemesis named Hans Nemesis, is one to ''Film/AustinPowers''. Though, the ''Austin Powers'' franchise itself is one long ShoutOut to ''Film/JamesBond''. A [[Film/{{Goldfinger}} silver Aston Martin-like car]], named a James Bomb, appears in a separate mission where it apparently belongs to the womanising Agent Temple, itself a nod to [[Franchise/TheSaint Simon Templar]] |
| 7 | * Two of the game's final missions involve jacking a set of Mini Coopers and a bus filled with gold. Both are shout outs to ''Film/TheItalianJob''(which ironically later had a LicensedGame by Rockstar). |
| 8 | * Steal a police car, and you can hear the in-car radio chatter mention [[Series/TheBill Sun Hill police station]]. |
| 9 | * The enigmatic Lord Lucan requiring you to drive him to a plastic surgeon references a certain, well, Lord Lucan, who disappeared without a trace after murdering his children's nanny. If only the in-game year wasn't too early. |
| 10 | * The music playing in the James Bomb car more closely resembles Henry Mancini's famous theme to ''Series/PeterGunn'' than the ''Bond'' theme; this may be a ShoutOut to that music's use in ''VideoGame/SpyHunter1983'', also a top-down, mission-based driving action game. |
