Cleaning up Actor Allusion as it only refers to references of an actor's previous role, not things like their background, and the Gentlemen of the Row DLC isn't canon.


* ActorAllusion: In an early cutscene that finds the Boss watching the news shortly after escaping from prison, pay close attention to the news ticker on the bottom of the screen. It's mentioned that Benjamin King wrote an autobiography that would be made into [[TheMovie a movie]], where he'd be played by Michael Clarke Duncan.

* KeepCirculatingTheTapes: Not the game itself, but apparently this happened to the developers; when asked about a 10th anniversary UpdatedRerelease, a forum moderator revealed that while giving 2 a facelift isn't a bad idea, they've lost the source code - so a potential remaster would have to be started from zero, which in turn would drain resources and workforce away from new projects. As of 2020, a remaster of ''The Third'' has been announced and the source code has apparently been found (a 2-man team is working on PC patches on the side, although no-one knows if they'll ever see the light of day) so there being one of 2 isn't impossible.
