1* The game lets you unlock weapons and armor at Vic's safehouse by finding and shooting 99 red balloons scattered throughout Vice City. If you know your 80s music, you'll recognize that this is an obvious reference to Music/{{Nena}}'s hit song ''99 Luftballons'' (adapted into English as ''99 Red Balloons''), which appeared on the original ''Vice City'' game's soundtrack.
2* Bryan Forbes is pretty much an evil version of [[Series/MiamiVice Sonny Crockett.]]
3* The manual features a mock news article about a pair of streetwalkers named ComicBook/{{Mystique}} and Destiny. Destiny is even wearing sunglasses.
4* The Domestobot bears [[{{Pastiche}} an uncanny resemblance]] to Creator/{{Nintendo}}'s VideoGame/RoboticOperatingBuddy.
5* The names of Méndez brothers Diego and Armando are a clear reference to the late Argentinean footballer Diego Armando Maradona.
6* The missions were Vic works as a security manager and bodyguard for Music/PhilCollins are named [[Film/KillBill "Kill Phil" and "Kill Phil: Part 2"]].
