Biography
Prologue
Vercetti is imprisoned in Liberty City in 1971. In 1971, in the Liberty area, Garwood gets into a shootout that kills several people. The game states that Tommy served 15 years for multiple murders and takes place in 1986. Tommy is sent by the Forelli family to kill one person and does it successfully, but is surrounded and kills 11 more people in an attempt to escape. Thanks to Forelli's family connections, he avoids the death penalty, but receives a 15-year prison sentence.
Vice City
Thanks to the influence of Sonny Forelli, head of the Forelli mafia family, Tommy is released in 1986. Sonny realizes that Tommy's return after that massacre will negatively affect the family's image in Liberty City and decides to send Tommy to Vice City to oversee an important drug deal, at the same time creating the foundation for consolidating the Forelli family in Vice City. Tommy and the two Forelli boys, Harry and Lee, meet with Ken Rosenberg, a lawyer working for the Forelli family in Vice City. The deal is supposed to strengthen the family's influence in the city, but during the exchange, several masked people kill three of those taking part in the deal (Harry, Lee and Victor Vance). Tommy, dodging the shots, jumps into Ken's car. Ken gets to his office and hides in it in a panic, Tommy goes to his hotel. There he calls Sonny and informs him of the failure. Sonny becomes furious and demands his money and drugs back.
While searching for clues leading to the man who ruined the deal, Tommy meets Lance Vance, the brother of Victor, who was killed during the deal. Together they find out that the most powerful drug lord in Vice City, Ricardo Diaz, is that very person. Tommy gains Diaz's trust by completing several tasks for him. Despite this, Lance attempts to kill Diaz himself.
The attempt is unsuccessful, Lance is caught and taken to the Vice City landfill for interrogation. Tommy saves him by killing Diaz's men, and thereby undoes all the results of his efforts, losing Diaz's trust. Once Lance recovers and leaves the hospital, Tommy comes up with a plan to kill Diaz. They infiltrate Ricardo's mansion, killing all the gang members along the way. Not far from the office, they come across Diaz furiously firing back, Tommy manages to mortally wound him, after which he and Lance fire the last shot.
Tommy becomes the owner of the mansion, and he also becomes the city's main crime boss. Over time, he strengthens his empire by buying various properties and developing them. At this time, Lance begins to feel that Tommy does not take him seriously, he constantly complains about it on the phone and cannot deal with minor problems.
Sonny begins to become angry about Tommy's increasing influence in Vice City, calling him constantly, now demanding not only his money back, but also that he be given some of the power in the city. Tommy isn't going to do either of those things. Sonny sends his men to forcefully collect money from Tommy's real estate and seize control of his business. However, Tommy stops this attempt by killing all the people sent by the family.
After this, Sonny personally comes to Vice City with many of his people. Warned of this in advance, Tommy prepares 3 million counterfeit dollars printed in his own factory. Sonny arrives at the mansion and is ready to take the money, when Lance openly betrays Tommy by informing him of the trap. From the subsequent dialogue, it becomes clear that the ambush, because of which Tommy served 15 years, was organized by Sonny himself.
A huge shootout begins in the mansion. Tommy kills all of Sonny's men. On the roof, near the helicopter, he catches up with Lance and kills him (however, it is possible to kill Lance with a headshot before he runs to the roof). Back at the mansion, Tommy kills Sonny.
Epilogue
After Sonny's death, the Vercetti gang is no longer affiliated with the Forelli family, and Tommy becomes one of the richest and most powerful men in the city.
- In Game Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas(mission "The Meat Business") CJ is forced to kill several people of the Sindacco family. At the factory where a shootout occurs, Carl is forced to defend Ken Rosenberg. During a firefight, Ken may say "Hey, just like old times, huh, Tommy?" (Russian) “Hey, just like old times, right, Tommy?”), to which Cj replies “Who the fuck is Tommy?” (Russian) “Who the fuck is Tommy?”).

GTA: Vice City became the fourth video game from the franchise of the same name. The plot takes users to a fictional American city known as Vice City. To create it, the real city of Miami was used as a prototype, which was very well reflected in the overall atmosphere and style.
The protagonist is Tommy Vercetti, a mercenary and drug lord who was betrayed by his crime boss Sonny Trout.
At that time, Vice City managed to break many records, as well as earn the love and recognition of the gaming audience. Naturally, fame did not bypass our protagonist either. We will dedicate today's article to him, Tommy Vercetti from GTA - a character whose name is known to any fan of the series.
Biography. The beginning of the story
It all starts with Tommy being imprisoned in Liberty City (another fictional location in the series). The players are explained that in 1971, Vercetti took part in a shootout in which several people died at his hands. What happened that year? The fact is that the Trout family, for whom our hero worked, gave him the task of dealing with a specific goal. At one point, the perfectly thought-out plan went wrong and Tommy Vercetti fell into an unexpected ambush. The result of the forced shootout was eleven corpses, for which the hero only faced the death penalty. Fortunately, the influence of the Trout family was able to save Tommy from certain death by changing his sentence to fifteen years in prison.
Arrival in Vice City
After this, we are transported fifteen years forward - to the year when the hero is released from custody. It becomes clear to the head of Trout that Tommy Vercetti's tarnished reputation will also affect the family image, so he decides to send him to another city. Our hero receives instructions to take control of the process of an important drug deal right in the “Heart” of Vice City. In addition, Sonny was always interested in consolidating the family's status outside the city of Liberty.
Thus, the further history of Tommy Vercetti connects him with Vice City. In company with two other guys from the Family, he arrives at a meeting with a lawyer whose activities are regulated by Trout himself. With this deal, they were supposed to strengthen their position in the new territory, but their plans again turn against the heroes. The exchange of goods is suddenly interrupted when several people, whose faces are hidden by masks, open fire. Trout's men die on the spot - all except Tommy and Ken. They manage to jump into the car and escape from the attackers. Ken, in fear, decides to take refuge in his own office, and Vercetti returns to his hotel room, from where he calls Sonny and tells him what happened. The head of the Trout family, of course, is not happy with such news, and he begins to demand the lost money and goods from the hero.
Start your own investigation
Tommy Vercetti sets out to find the man who ruined their deal. A little later, he meets Lance Vance, whose brother was also killed in that same shootout. Together they find a local influential drug lord named Ricardo Diaz, who turns out to be the culprit of everything that happened. From this moment on, the “partners” decide to act in two different ways. Tommy tries to get closer to Ricardo by running several errands for him, while Lance is leaning towards the option of assassinating himself.
Vance's attempt fails, he is caught and tried to interrogate him. Tommy comes to the rescue, who decides to cancel all his efforts and save his friend, as a result of which he loses Ricardo’s trust. After this, the heroes decide to develop a plan to destroy Ricardo and successfully put it into action. This is how Tommy Vercetti deals with the man who almost ruined his life.
End of the road
After killing Ricardo, Tommy not only gains ownership of the mansion, but also earns himself a reputation as a local crime boss. Parallel to his growing power, Lance Vance begins to harbor suspicions of self-prejudice. He loses his former grip and fails even the simplest assignments.
Not everything is calm in the Trout family either: Sonny is infuriated by the mere thought of Tommy’s success, so he constantly pesters him with his calls, demanding money and a share in power over the city. Much to his dismay, Vercetti refuses to share, and even kills all the collectors sent to him.
Then Sonny decides to come in person, having prepared a trap in advance. Tommy is also ready to greet his former boss with a surprise, but in the end he is betrayed by Lance Vance. During the confrontation, another secret is revealed: it was with Sonny’s hands that the shootout that happened fifteen years ago was organized.
A bloodbath begins. Tommy manages to kill all the bandits from the Trout family and deal with the traitor Lance. At the end of the shootout, he puts a bullet in Sonny too.
In the epilogue
Sonny's death causes Vercetti to escape the control of the Trout family. Tommy continues to grow in the criminal world, earning money and power.
- The game GTA: San Andreas makes a small reference to Tommy. During the next task, the main character Sij finds himself caught in a shootout at one of the factories. Players can hear a rather interesting mini-dialogue: "Hey, just like the good old days, right, Tommy?" - "Who the hell is Tommy?"
- Of all the distinctive details of the GTA characters, players remember Tommy Vercetti's clothing the most. Being Italian, the hero prefers classic style and loves expensive things. However, despite this, Tommy Vercetti's Hawaiian shirt is the distinctive detail by which he is always recognized.
- Let's return to GTA: San Andreas: in several stores you can find toy figures of some characters. If you look, you will find Versetti among them.
- Tommy's voice was provided by the famous actor Ray Liotta.
- The second trailer for GTA: ViceSityStories shows players a character whose appearance and clothing strongly resembles Vercetti. According to the chronology of events, Tommy is still serving his sentence.
- In one mission, Vercetti operated an M-4 using just one hand. This movement suggests that Tommy is well developed physically.
During various missions or cutscenes in the game Grand Theft Auto: Vice City (GTA Vice City), set in 1986, features many interesting characters.
Main characters
Tommy Vercetti
The main character of the game Grand Theft Auto: Vice City.
Before the events in Vice City, Tommy worked for the Forelli mafia family in Liberty City. In 1971, Sonny Forelli sent him to eliminate one person in the Harwood District, but immediately upon arrival, he was ambushed by 11 unknown assailants. Tommy was forced to kill his attackers, which resulted in his arrest and 15 years in prison for murder. He also earned the nickname "The Butcher of Harwood".
After being released from prison in 1986, Tommy returned to working for the Forelli family, and Don Sonny Forelli immediately sent him to Vice City to take part in a very important drug deal. When, due to a group of masked people, the matter went south, and Tommy lost both money and goods, he decided to find and kill everyone involved. During the investigation, Tommy found out that the attack could have been organized by the city's main drug lord, Ricardo Diaz (in fact, the setup was organized by Sonny himself). Together with Lance Vance, the brother of Victor who was killed during the attack, he stormed Diaz's mansion and killed the drug lord. Tommy took control of both the mansion and Diaz's business. He gradually gains complete control of the city, becoming one of the richest and most powerful people in Vice City and the leader of the extremely powerful Vercetti Gang. Sonny Forelli, however, with enviable tenacity demands his share of the substantial profits, which leads to a personal confrontation with Tommy. After it turns out that the trap back in 1971 was organized by Sonny himself, Tommy dealt with him and countless members of the Forelli family in his mansion, and celebrates his triumph as the leader of an organization with total dominance in Vice City. Tommy also has business dealings with other gangs such as the Cubans, Haitians and Mitch Baker's Bikers.
Sonny Forelli
Don of the Forelli family from the Liberty City mafia since around 1986 and the main antagonist in the game. The Forelli family is the richest and most powerful mafia family in Liberty City in the 80s (unlike Grand Theft Auto III, where the gang is only a pale shadow of its former power and is usurped by the Leone family). Sonny comes to power young, and while Tommy Vercetti is in prison, he organizes several important murders, which brings great success to the Forelli family. During the time of Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, Sonny is believed to have a predominant influence in racketeering, gambling, labor unions, corruption and prostitution, with a growing interest in drug trafficking (which other Mafia clans try to avoid).
Tommy Vercetti grew up with Sonny and they were friends. Sonny gave Tommy a place in the organization and he was loyal to the family above all others. Then, fifteen years before the start of Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, Sonny sent Tommy to the Harwood District to kill a big shot. Tommy was apparently ambushed, and eventually eliminated eleven rival bandits in a massacre, earning the name "The Butcher of Harwood". Tommy always believed that Sonny conned him, although the motives remained unknown.
At the beginning of the game, Sonny Forelli feared that other gangs, including rival families, could make huge profits in Vice City and suddenly develop a drug business, and wanted to be the first to lay claim to a share for the Forelli family. At the same time, Tommy Vercetti returned to the city, fresh from prison. Since Tommy is comfortable completing any task, Sonny felt obligated to give him a job; however, he thought that Tommy was still too well known as the "Harwood Butcher" and assumed that this would prove detrimental to business in Liberty City. Therefore, he sent Tommy to Vice City as the formal representative of the Forelli family to establish a drug outpost there. According to his intentions, Vercetti was to launch a large drug cartel in Vice City, acting under the auspices of the Forelli family.
When it was revealed that Vercetti found himself without millions in cash and without the drugs he was sent for as a result of an ambush during a drug deal, Sonny lost his temper and promised to kill Tommy if he did not get either the money or the goods back.
While Tommy Vercetti was strengthening his vertical of power and building a vast empire, Sonny periodically called his phone, urging him to kindly provide a share. Once it became clear that Tommy had gone "solo", he sent gunmen to Vice City to use brute force and impose tribute on Tommy's businesses. When Vercetti cut them all out, Forelli became close to one of Tommy's partners, Lance Vance (or maybe vice versa), and the two conspired against Tommy.
The Introduction, a prequel film to Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, makes it clear that Sonny's death was a major blow to the Forelli family and led to the Sindacco family's invasion of Liberty City from Las Venturas. Don Salvator Leone mentions Sonny's name in an angry response to the Sindacco family underboss, Johnny Sindacco.
Sonny Forelli is voiced by Tom Sizemore. One small detail - his name is the same as the character from Miami Vice, James "Sonny" Crockett. The violent character of Sonny Forelli is taken from Santino "Sonny" Corleone, a fictional character and son of Don Vito Corleone, from the novel and film The Godfather. Sonny Corleone also comes into conflict with his father, voicing his approval of involvement in the heroin trade.
Ken Rosenberg
A shady, neurotic lawyer (working for the law firm Rosenberg & Associates), who is close to Tommy Vercetti and loosely associated with the Forelli family, often serves as a plot relief. Rosenberg met Vercetti at Escobar International Airport and remained his loyal ally throughout the story. He ensures that Tommy is released from prison whenever he is arrested, and in such situations his voice can sometimes be heard over the phone (“Tommy Vercetti is innocent!” and “Officer, do you really think my client is capable of such actions?” and even "Tommy Verzetti doesn't even own a gun!") Tommy can also be heard asking the police to call his lawyer and saying Ken's name.
Rosenberg reportedly had problems with controlled substances (especially cocaine) and egomania. He is also suspected of cheating on law school exams and using pressure on numerous occasions to intimidate and bribe jurors; Giorgio Forelli, Sonny Forelli's cousin and member of the Forelli Family, is Ken's “first-class” client. Rosenberg's inability to firmly take control of situations means that on some occasions he is also the subject of ridicule. One example of this is during the planning stages of a large-scale bank robbery, where Tommy jokingly stated that Rosenberg could "launder money for the rest of the team and make iced drinks" when Rosenberg wanted to participate in the robbery. Ken even teases himself: “I can’t even intimidate a child—and believe me, I tried!” Rosenberg has a very poor success rate in trials and is referred to by Kent Paul as a "crazy, obsessive lawyer." Paul also states that "this guy can protect an innocent man all the way to death row" and later befriends Rosenberg. In 1992, after a rehabilitation clinic in the suburbs of Las Venturas, Rosenberg tries to contact Verzetti about work. However, one of Vercetti's associates rejects his call, as Tommy has apparently forgotten about him, seeing that Rosenberg can no longer be expected to help.
Rosenberg's character is based on lawyer David Kleinfeld (played by Sean Penn) in the movie Carlito's Way - both characters are very similar to each other, having the same curly hair and tacky suits, and both are presented as incoherent with progressive paranoia and cocaine addiction. The offices of both lawyers are also almost identical. Rosenberg is mentioned in Vice City Stories during a radio news report after the mission "Nice Package". The reporter is talking about the shootings and that he is citing the Second Amendment and should face charges.
Lance Vance
Killed in: "Keep Your Friends Close..."
A drug dealer who becomes Tommy Vercetti's partner for the entire game. Lance is involved in the drug trade with his brother, Victor (later a main character in Vice City Stories) and makes up one half of the Vance Crime Family, with Victor as the leader. In the game's opening cutscene, Lance flies with Victor to a cocaine deal with Tommy Vercetti, but just as they exchange the goods, Victor and Vercetti's two men (Harry and Lee) fall to gunfire from an ambush. Lance, who never left the helicopter, flies away unharmed, while Verzetti jumps into a car with Ken Rosenberg at the wheel, saving his life, but not his money or drugs.
Lance comes face to face with Vercetti shortly after Tommy causes the death of a small-time hitman named Leo Teal, who helped organize the ambush. They agree to help each other get revenge on whoever screwed up the cocaine deal. Lance helps Tommy in several missions such as rescuing Ricardo Diaz from a Haitian Gang ambush in the Guardian Angels mission and killing the thief who stole money from Diaz in Phnom Penh 86 mission. Lance tries to kill Diaz, making sure that he was the one who organized the ambush, but Diaz is also caught tortures him in the junkyard until Tommy comes to the rescue. Tommy and Lance plan an attack on Diaz, and after sneaking into his mansion, they go to Diaz's office and shoot him. They take over his empire, creating the Verzetti Gang. However, after some time As Tommy becomes extremely rich and powerful, Lance begins to resent Tommy getting a larger share of the profits, thinking that Tommy treats him like a child and a common foot soldier. Eventually, Sonny Forelli becomes close to Lance ( or perhaps vice versa), and Lance conspires against Tommy. Lance later betrays Vercetti in the final confrontation between Sonny and Tommy, defecting to the rival side and citing business as the reason for betraying Tommy. Enraged, Tommy massacres all of Forelli's men, and kills Lance on the helipad on the roof of the Verzetti House.
Lance appears cool and collected on the outside, but he is very impulsive, and his quest for revenge against Ricardo Diaz regularly gets Tommy into big trouble. He also loves his name very much, and protests whenever someone makes fun of him. Lance Vance is also known in the Vice City club scene and the Underworld as the infamous "Lance Vance Dance", and has a pretentious white Infernus, a sports car similar to a Lamborghini Countach.
Lance Vance was voiced by Miami Vice star Philip Michael Thomas, one of Vice City's many references to Miami Vice. Also, both Vance and Thomas' character on Miami Vice, Ricardo "Rico" Tubbs, are seeking revenge for the murders of their brothers at the hands of drug dealers.
Colonel "Juan Garcia" Cortes
A retired colonel of undetermined Central American nationality and an acquaintance of Ken Rosenberg. He helped determine the cause of the failed trade that sent Tommy Vercetti to Vice City, but was not involved in the ambush that led to the deal's collapse. Tommy meets Cortez in person at an informal party on the Colonel's extravagant yacht.
Tommy constantly asks Cortez when he will be reimbursed for the lost money, but Cortez tells Tommy that he is "no longer in Liberty" and gives him tasks, which Tommy completes, although Cortez has established his own "research methods" to uncover who did the shooting. ambushing Tommy's deal. Cortez more or less tricks Tommy, using his debt to his family to get him to work for him. However, Cortez is not a cynic and behaves nobly, paying Tommy for his work and thinking of him as a friend. During his investigation, Cortez discovers that his lieutenant, Gonzalez, leaked information about Tommy's deal to someone. He later suspects that Ricardo Diaz is responsible for the ambush, and Tommy becomes convinced of the truth of this.
Besides partying, the Colonel is also involved in many areas of criminal activity, including drugs, firearms and the theft of military secrets. In the mission Shootout at the Alley, Cortez sends Tommy to find some chips containing information about a top-secret weapon stolen from the French government by a courier. Tommy finds the courier and is discovered by the French Secret Service, forcing the courier to flee, and Tommy to catch up and kill him in order to take the chips. When the French begin to pursue Colonel Cortez to recover his "missile technology" chips, he asks Tommy for help once again to escape Vice City to a safer harbor on his yacht. Realizing that the Colonel is an honorable man, Tommy agrees and fends off the attacks of the French forces along with Cortez's team and Cortez himself. As soon as the ship breaks away from its pursuers, Cortez kindly gives Tommy a luxurious speedboat and asks him to take care of his daughter Mercedes.
Cortez calls again after the final mission to wish Tommy well, and to ask about his daughter, who he heard (much to his concern) was studying law. Tommy says he's wrong, more to appease the Colonel (he apparently didn't know she was instead starring in a pornographic film produced by Tommy's studio).
Colonel Cortez throws parties on his yacht for celebrities and criminal types. He also enjoys dining on endangered species (such as tapir heads), which he considers a sign of a wonderful lifestyle. He managed to survive thirty coups in his home country, was sentenced to death nine times (but always survived and received promotions) and has diplomatic immunity. Cortez also expresses his dislike of the French (including the French Secret Service), claiming that they have routinely robbed poor nations for centuries and are now accusing Cortez of theft. Cortez is also a widower.
Kent Paul
A young Cockney Englishman who works in the music industry but claims to be a mastermind in the world of crime. "Kent Paul" is possibly a fictitious name; his real name may be unknown, although in an early voice clip he calls himself "Paul from Kent". He is also called "KR", "Paulo" and "Kent". He asks a local biker gang to provide protection for the group he represents, but gets into an argument with Big Mitch the Baker and is thrown out of their bar.
Paul is a notorious suck-up among the elite throughout Vice City, and is also very good at finding out rumors. He has information on most of the major underworld figures in the city, and appears to have contacts in some SWAT divisions. Tommy also uses it several times for important information. He is also, however, a pathological liar and appears to be an alcoholic. Kent serves as a manager for the metal band Fist of Love and is usually found at the Malibu Club, Vice City's largest nightclub and subsequently owned by Tommy Verzetti.
In a drunken phone call to Tommy at the end of the game, Paul insinuates that he is going back to England in disgrace. Kent claims to have moved to the United States in 1982 at the age of 17, which would place his birth in 1964 or 1965.
Ricardo Diaz
Killed in story mission: "Cleansing"
An extremely dangerous and volatile man behind the drug deal ambush of the Forelli gang family. He is also the leader of his own gang, and initially Vice City's largest drug lord. Fearing that the Liberty City Mafia hopes to gain a cut to expand the drug trade in Vice City, Diaz takes initiative, and tries to eliminate many buyers and suppliers, including Tommy Vercetti and his team, as well as supplier Victor Vance. After some time, Diaz becomes less tolerant of competition, eliminating the most persistent dealers with murder. Tommy and Ricardo meet during the story mission "Guardian Angels", where Tommy and Lance Vance rescue Diaz from an ambush by a Haitian gang, then Tommy carries out several assignments for Diaz: such as killing a thief who stole money from Diaz, in the story mission "From Pen 86", and stealing the fastest boat in Vice City, in the story mission "The Fastest Boat". However, Tommy later receives information from Colonel Cortez that it was Diaz who organized the ambush that ruined his drug deal; hearing this, Lance Vance tries to kill Diaz, but in the story mission" For execution "Lance is caught, and they try to kill him at a car dump. There, Tommy saves Lance and takes him to the hospital. Fearing that Diaz will now begin to kill them, Tommy and Lance stock up on more weapons in the story mission "Purge", and attack Ricardo's mansion, killing all of Diaz's men there. Tommy hits Diaz in the stomach during a shootout in Diaz's office. Tommy and Lance then shoots the wounded Ricardo Diaz in the face, ending him forever.
Diaz bribed the INS (Immigration and Naturalization Service) for a green card in 1978 after entering the country illegally from Colombia. His contacts there believe he is a major player in the illegal drug industry and anti-government activities. Diaz resides in Vice City and works as a drug smuggler before eliminating the competition, emerging as Vice City's top drug lord in 1984. He is also a friend of Colonel Juyan Garcia Cortez.
Diaz is a popular philanthropist, giving money to foundations throughout Vice City and Central and South America, but they are all believed to be front organizations. He is short in stature and is believed to suffer from a Napoleon complex. His medical records show that he has overactive tonsils and sweats more than other people. He is an obvious collector of weapons, and is almost always armed; he has a personal guard, and is always well guarded. He participated in the long battle for control of the drug business in Vice City, and bribed most of the police officers and officials within the city He is feared because of his reputation as a man with unpredictable behavior, because Ricardo is suspected of 18 murders.
Ricardo's debauched and impulsive nature is proven in the game by damaging or destroying objects with his hands, or any available weapon; such as shooting a turned off VCR when he thinks the device is malfunctioning, shooting pigeons when he finds bird tracks on his car, or hitting the TV after how the horse he bet on loses the race.
Ricardo lives in a huge mansion in the wealthy environs of Starfish Island. Dubbed as Diaz's property, its interior strongly resembles the home of fictional drug lord Tony Montana from the 1983 film Scarface. His clothing is also an exact replica of what Tony Montana wore in the famous torture scene with using a chain saw. However, the mansion was taken over by Tommy Vercetti after the death of the owner. Ricardo Diaz's name is almost the same as the main character of Miami Vice, Ricardo "Rico" Tubbs.
Diaz also appears to have once had a brother. In Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories, Lance Vance apologizes to Diaz for the death of his brother. Diaz says that he understands his brother did the same thing that led him to kill him.
Minor characters
Avery Carrington
Successful property and real estate tycoon and avid capitalist from Texas. Competes with other construction companies. Likes to talk about his father, quoting him and using old western euphemisms. He will go to any lengths to manipulate property prices and land values, including arson, mutiny, bribes, intimidation and murder. He always wears a cowboy hat and drives in a black limousine. Carrington was suspected by police of wearing a wig, although this was only revealed in Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories. The official website for Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories also seems to reference this little detail. Carrington is believed to be behind many lucrative development plans and is responsible for forced slum clearances. However, he is cautious and goes out of town on business when any violence occurs. He is a frequent guest at Colonel Cortez's parties; also, Ken Rosenberg's biggest client, and that's how he meets Tommy Vercetti. Tommy completes Avery's tasks, and as a reward, Carrington helps Tommy buy his first business, leading to a colossal business/criminal empire. Carrington has an apprentice, Donald Love, a major character in Grand Theft Auto III and a corrupt business tycoon in Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories. Carrington, after taking Love under his wing and teaching him lessons about real estate, explains Love's cruelty later. Also from Avery, Donald heard words that were repeated almost identically in GTA III: In Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, Carrington appears on a billboard in Las Venturas. Carrington is seen again in Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories, when Toni Cipriani kills him during a cameo (under the orders of his old protégé, Donald Love).
Phil Cassidy
An expert and firearms dealer who first appears in GTA III, where he claimed to have lost his arm in Nicaragua. Here, Phil is much younger and more energetic, but often gets drunk to the point of extreme inebriation (these qualities are no longer surprising in Vice City Stories). Both of his hands are still intact and he is participating in Tommy’s “Task,” that is, robbing a local bank. In Tommy's final mission for him, Phil loses his arm when "boomshine", a homemade and dangerous explosive/alcoholic drink, explodes in front of him. After the explosion, Tommy must take Phil to the hospital, suffering himself from the intoxicating effects of the moonshine. On the way to the hospital, Phil develops memory loss and post-traumatic stress disorder. After all this, he continues to sell Tommy rare and powerful weapons.
Although Phil claims to have served in various branches of the Army, records show that Phil was discharged multiple times for drunkenness and unsuitable temperament for combat. Phil is also a gun enthusiast, with memberships in various Second Amendment organizations and Vice City gun clubs.
It's interesting to note an error in the script regarding Phil's hand in Vice City. In GTA III, Phil is shown without his left arm, while in Vice City, an accident cutscene depicts the loss of his right arm, but after Tommy brings him to safety, Phil is left without his left arm, and his right arm is intact!
Umberto Robino
The leader of the Cuban Gang, which got involved in a long war for turf in Vice City with the Haitian Gang. He is clearly a macho man who wants to wage an all-out war with the Haitian gang. However, he never personally participates in crimes, and his bravery has been questioned in Cuban circles. He is friends with Tommy Vercetti and communicates with him as equals. Quote: "Tommy, we think you're Cuban."
Humberto's long rivalry with the Haitians ends in the Trojan Voodoo mission, where he and Tommy execute a plan to destroy the Haitians' drug factory. Tommy, Humberto and some Cubans steal Haitian Voodoo and drive it into the factory. There they remove all the Haitians and plant bombs; after leaving, the factory blows up, and the Haitians are left out of work.
Auntie Powet
She is an elderly Haitian matriarch, the leader of the Haitian Gang (which she also uses as her own protection). She gives Tommy Vercetti mind-altering witchcraft potions to force him to cooperate in her missions. These include actions against a Cuban gang with which he has friendly relations. However, when the effects of the potion wear off, Tommy has no memory of what he did for the Haitian gang. Ultimately, she cuts all ties with him and doesn't want him to return to Little Haiti, but when Tommy does do so, he receives a final phone call from Auntie Puet ("Why are you [Tommy] coming here? I told you , that we don't want to see you here anymore.") and makes Tommy a permanent enemy of the Haitian gang. In Pueta's ultimate mission, Tommy destroys a Haitian gang's base of operations and a large drug operation, killing numerous members in the process and severing all ties with Pueta and her gang.
Fist of Love
Fist of Love is a Scottish glam metal band from Vice City, led by Kent Paul. Composition - Jezz Torrent, Willie, Dick and Percy. The names of the last three members are slang for penis, and Jezz Torrent, when pronounced in a Scottish accent, is heard as "Jizz Torrent", a slang term for sperm. In the story, Tommy Vercetti must help organize the band's show in Vice City, providing the band members with drugs and prostitutes, protecting them from an unhinged stalker, hiring a biker gang to provide security during the show (a reference to The Rolling Stones' concert at Altamont Speedway, where the Hell's Angels were hired as security with disastrous results) and giving them rides in a bomb-laden limousine (a reference to the film Speed, which starred Dennis Hopper, the voice of Steve Scott). Many of Love Fist's songs are featured in the game, most notably during a radio interview with Jezz Torrent on K-Chat and in promotions for Love Fist's Stone Cold Prostate Steelheart tour on V-Rock. Songs mentioned include: Fist Until the Morning, Dangerous Bastard, Fury of the Fist, Four Scottish Horsemen of the Apocalypse, Take It on the Chin, Zinc Deficiency, Four Boys Against Your Face, Satan's Pillows, Fist of the Animal, Chin Pigment, Jackhammer for the Liver and Dangerous Man - Dead Family. Among the Fist of Love's albums mentioned throughout the game are the following: Dogs on Heat, Fat Chickens - All Day, All Night and The Devil's Own Band. All members of the group are interested in only three things: sex, drugs and booze... From Of all the songs mentioned, only "Dangerous Bastard" and "Fist Fury" can be heard on V-Rock, although part of "Fist Until the Morning" can be heard in the Fist of Love commercials. Love Fist is voiced by Kevin McKidd (Jezz Torrent), Mark Hanlon (Willie), Peter MacKay (Dick) and Russell Foreman (Percy). Their songs were written by Allan Walker, Paul McKee, Trevor McDonald, Dr Boogie and Craig Conner and performed by musicians Andy Thomson, Mark Farquhar, Neil McHaffie, Trevor McDonald and Paul McKee.
The character Jezz Torrent makes a cameo appearance in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, where he claims to have joined the cult Epsilon Program. According to his testimony and Epsilon's website, the cult helped him quit heroin. Images of Love Fist can also be seen on posters and billboards in San Andreas and Liberty City Stories, and Love Fist is also mentioned in San Andreas on radio station K-DST when DJ Tommy "Nightmare" Smith says, "I can't believe it. that I should play music for a piece of bread, even if it is someone else’s; and yet, what happened to the Fist of Love?” They are also featured on Radio X when Sage briefly talks about "rap's growing crisis." She begins with "First it was the Fist of Love..." and also mentions OJ Lock, one of the other characters in the game.
The Fist of Love still continues to exist in Grand Theft Auto IV, as an electronic sign on a café in the Triangle displays the words "Superstar Cafe Presents the Mighty Fist of Love".
Steve Scott
Steve Scott is an elderly degenerate and bisexual porn director who works at Interglobal Films. Obsessed with creating "artistic" pornography featuring giant sharks and space aliens (parodies of Steven Spielberg's Jaws and Close Encounters of the Third Kind, respectively). When Tommy Vercetti meets Scott, the man's career is struggling because his ideas for adult films have become so bizarre that no one wants to finance them. Tommy buys Scott's company and revitalizes his film production, turning Steve into one of his hostages in the coup of Vice City's porn underground. Steve himself initially wanted Tommy and himself to act in porn)
"Big" Mitch Baker
"Big" Mitch Baker is a Vietnam veteran who became the head of the Vice City Biker Gang (a parody of the Hell's Angels). Before coming to Vice City, he was a Vietnam War veteran and received a Purple Heart for the siege of a Viet Cong central camp. He became disillusioned with the poor treatment he received after returning home, especially from the police, and joined the bikers. Tommy meets him while looking for freelance security for a rock concert (a parody of the Hell's Angels involvement at the sad Altamont Music Festival). Convinced that Tommy is worthy of the respect of the bikers, they work for him as a branch of his drug empire.
Throughout the game, Mitch makes numerous angry calls to local radio stations, complaining that they play too much glam metal and not enough hard rock.
Mercedes Cortez
The wayward daughter of Colonel Cortez. She is initially suggested as a possible girlfriend of Tommy Vercetti, but the storyline is not fully developed. Tommy first meets her during a party aboard the Colonel's yacht. In the same story mission "Party", she asks Tommy to take her to the "Pole position club", the largest strip club in Vice City, which Tommy later becomes the owner of. In another case, she has sex with the group "Fist of Love" "("Love fist"). It is referenced in the song "Dangerous Bastard", in the stanza "Action, camera, lipstick, light. I drive the Mercedes tightly. Nobody knows that I play guitar while wearing her red bra. "She later entered the porn film industry, starring opposite Candy Sachs in a film directed by Steve Scott and produced by Vercetti and his film studio.
A hidden and unused phone conversation between Tommy and Mercedes proves that the game's developers originally had intentions to include a deeper relationship between the two characters. Audio files from the GTA Vice City file directory of Mercedes' calls indicate the fact that she wants to spend time alone with Tommy when she is mad, happy or bored. One particular phone conversation takes place after the murder of Ricardo Diaz. Mercedes praises Tommy and calls him a real man for killing Ricardo, but Tommy tries to cover up the incident by saying that Diaz died in a fire in his mansion. After a successful bank robbery, in the mission "The Job", when Tommy and Phil are staying at Cam Jones's house, Mercedes comes there to give Tommy a relaxing massage: apparently, they celebrate success together in the most difficult case. Initially, the developers planned to conduct an experiment on gender relations in the game, but soon decided to bring the idea to life in the next series of the game.
Minor characters
Victor Vance
Killed in: "Introduction" (deal gone bad)
Lance Vance's older brother and the main character of GTA:VCS. A dark-skinned drug dealer who was with his brother on the deal that kept Tommy in Vice City. Was framed by Ricardo Diaz and killed by his men.
Donald Love
Donald Love, previously depicted in Grand Theft Auto III as a powerful media mogul, appears in two minor cameos as real estate mogul Avery Carrington's eager young apprentice learning the ropes of the business. This character's appearance in Vice City is poorly voiced; Love is silent in all episodes, only in the second it is noticeable that he utters one or two short words before Carrington interrupts him.
Gonzales
Killed in: "Treacherous Swine"
Colonel Cortez's right hand man. Secretly steals cocaine from Cortez, as documented in Vice City Stories. Gonzalez also informs Ricardo Diaz of every drug deal Cortez makes (this plot detail is fully explained in Vice City Stories), including the Cortez-sponsored deal between Vercetti and the Vance brothers. When Cortez finds out that Gonzalez is involved in the deal, he punishes him with a chainsaw and
Tommy Vercetti.
The villain was voiced by Jorge Pupo.
Leo Teal
Killed in: "Back Alley Brawl"
He works as a cook in the Ocean Drive area, and also secretly works very successfully as a hitman. He regularly works for an assassination agency run by a man known only as "Mr. Black" (according to the Vice City website). It accepts orders from Mr. Black through various payphones located throughout Vice City. Tommy Vercetti seeks him out for information on a deal gone wrong, but the confrontation ends with Teal dying and his cell phone changing hands. It then becomes clear (from telephone conversations) that Teal was directly involved in the ambush at the beginning, and it is implied that Teal organized it at the behest of "Mr. Black", on behalf of Ricardo Diaz. It is also revealed that Teal was involved in trying to find a buyer for the cocaine Diaz had come into possession of. It is also known that Leo worked for Humberto Robina, the leader of a Cuban gang.
It is likely that both "Mr. Black" and "Mr. Teal" are a reference to Reservoir Dogs, where the main characters are also named after flowers.
Pepe
Member of a Cuban gang, like Rico. Has a girlfriend in Little Haiti, loves pizza from the pizzeria there. Participated in both attacks by Tommy and the Cubans on a Haitian crack factory. Survived the explosion during the final attack.
Ernest Kelly
(dubbed as "Old Man Kelly" in the Vice City manual) Manager of the Print Works, on the border of Petit Havana and Haiti, later bought by Tommy Vercetti. Working at Print Works for a long time, Ernest always printed counterfeit money, albeit on a small scale. With Tommy's help, Ernest acquires high-quality clichés to produce counterfeit money on a larger scale and ultimately produces millions for Vercetti. Tommy likes this old man because Vercetti's father also worked in the printing shop when he was a child. Tommy became attached to Ernest and showed extreme concern and anger when Forelli's men, who had arrived to take "their share", beat the old man. Ernest survived the attack; Some time after the last mission, Tommy speaks on the phone with a recovered Kelly.
Gary and Lee
Killed in: "Introduction" (scene of a bad deal)
Two members of the Forelli family in Liberty City. Sent to Vice City with Tommy Vercetti to make a deal with the Vance brothers. Together with Tommy and Ken Rosenberg, they arrived at the place of the transaction, began the exchange, when suddenly Ricardo Diaz’s people shot both of them. However, there is a version that Sonny himself ordered them.
Alberto Robina
Father of Humberto Robina, he can always be found at Cafe Robina in Little Havana. Appears in several cutscenes and works at Cafe Robina. He, like his son, is personally on good terms with Tommy Vercetti and considers him one of his own.
Hilary King
Killed in: "The Job"
An excellent driver, a master of his craft, but at the same time a terrible neurotic, a pathological glutton and a mama's boy. In the mission "Driver", Hilary agrees to participate in the robbery only after Tommy defeats him in an illegal race through the city streets. In the mission "The Job", he participated in a large-scale bank robbery as part of Tommy's team and had to take the others away after the case. However, he arrived too late, when the police had already surrounded the bank, and was killed by SWAT as soon as he got out of the car. This is a reference to the 1995 film Heat, directed by Michael Mann and also executive producer of Miami Vice.
Although Hilary, according to police, grew up in a prosperous family, as a child he suffered from neglect from his own mother and suffered from bulimia. Similar to Stevie, one of the bank robbers featured in the movie "Hottest Time of the Day", who is also afraid of robbing a bank.
Cam Jones
Kleptomaniac safe burglar. Police arrested Jones as he ran down the street with a safe he couldn't open, and he was given 10 years. Despite this curiosity, he is a pro at the craft of a safecracker, which is why Tommy chose him as a burglar for a bank robbery. Having learned that Kam was in a cell at the Washington Beach police station, awaiting transfer to prison, Vercetti arranged for him to be released early. Kam has a home in Little Havana.
Kam's fate is in the hands of the player; he can either die or survive. If Kam dies, then logically both Tommy and Phil should get a larger share of the robbery (Phil: "It's too bad that Kam isn't with us." Tommy: "But we get more." Phil: "That's right!") ( although the amount of money the player receives after the mission does not actually change even if Kam Jones dies during the bank robbery).
Puma & Zeppelin
Members of the VC Biker Gang. They are playing pool with "Big" Mitch the Baker when Tommy first arrives at the Greasy Chopper Bar. Baker tells Tommy that he must beat Puma, Zeppelin and another biker in a motorcycle race to earn their trust. Puma appears again in the mission "Chaos", where he arm wrestles Mitch.
BJ Smith
Former player of the professional American football team "Vice City Mambas", who left the sport due to some problems. He is a frequent guest at Juan Cortez's parties. BJ made the exercise video "BJ's Fit for Football" and was the owner of the company "BJ's Used Autos", which the police suspected of selling stolen cars. Later, Smith, preparing to return to football, sold the company to Tommy Vercetti (after the sale it was renamed Sunshine Autos). BJ's approach to life is said to be with a heavy hand, citing football as inspiration, and he believes the solution to many of life's problems is aggression and violence. BJ is also constantly in debt to creditors and will do anything for money.
BJ Smith is voiced by real-life former National Football League (NFL) player Lawrence Taylor. Also, BJ Smith shares several similarities with former NFL star and suspected killer OJ Simpson (BJ also alludes to a store robbery in an interview on KCHAT, although it remains to be seen whether this is just a figure of speech or an actual event).
Candy Sachs
Her real name is Kandis Shand. A female character with a very large bust (the result of breast augmentation surgery), wears a bikini with a US flag motif and red shoes), worked as a prostitute in the city center; Congressman Alex Schrub is her regular client until Tommy Vercetti hires her to work at the porn studio Interglobal Films after the murder of her pimp.
Candy Sachs eventually becomes a porn star working for Tommy Vercetti, as she is shown on the posters and video covers of some of the pornographic films in Vice City (The Bite, Closer Encounters), San Andreas (Vinewood Call Girls, This Can't Be Legal, Return of the Anaconda ) and Liberty City Stories (Let Me Jump); There are billboards with her image in Los Santos and Las Venturas in San Andreas. Vice City Stories reveals that Candy starred in a film about bestiality around 1984. In one of the missions of the game GTA Vice City Stories, Jerry Martinez watches this particular film with elements of bestiality
Congressman Alex Schrub
A corrupt right-wing politician who became the youngest state congressman in Florida history because, according to Maurice Chaves, "he has great hair and says things that make you nod your head." Shrub is a corrupt and unprincipled demagogue who is deliberately trying to distract people from the fact that Vice City is sinking under his rule. He constantly cheats on his wife and cares only about his own well-being, lobbying for bribes for any decisions that benefit the businessmen, such as the legalization of “Giggle Cream,” a dangerous drug dessert that has killed 23 people. This is a reference to the 1985 sci-fi horror film Tasty Fuck. He is almost always under FBI protection and rides in a gold limousine. During the election campaign, Shrub supported measures to limit pornography, in response, Vercetti and Scott began to blackmail him with pictures of Shrub in women's stockings and garters, indulging in debauchery with Candy Sachs. As a result, Shrub changed his mind.
Mike
(Dubbed in the manual as Mike Redneck) Was a member of the Diaz Gang, but along with Diaz's other bodyguards later joined the Vercetti Gang when Diaz was killed, this is likely a reference to Scarface. He appears in the scenes Party, Stalking, Supply & Demand, Bar Brawl (the mission where Mike appears for the only time outside of a cutscene) and Cop Land, where Lance Vance yells at him for disrupting the bomb attack on Tarbrush (Parody of Starbuck) s) Cafe in North Point Alley. He is not seen again afterwards. He took Lance's place after his death.
Maude Hanson
(dubbed as "Ice Cream Lady Mod" in the Vice City manual) Owner of the Cherry Button Ice Cream Factory until Tommy Vercetti buys her business. Shown in only one cutscene, she states that her business sells "other, non-dairy products." Maud also makes no secret of her psychotic hatred of children and uses stereotypes of children, claiming that they are disgusting, spoiled and willful. She is believed to have once run an orphanage.
Delores
A middle-aged dispatcher at the Kaufman Taxi company. Appearing in one skit, she introduces the company and its business dealings (persistent competition against other taxis) after Tommy buys the business. Delores can also be heard on the radio in Kaufman's taxi.
It is Delores who calls Tommy's gang the "Versetti Gang" when she says that Kaufman's Taxi has been bought by gangs about 20 times and she has to tell the employees which gang is running Kaufman's Taxi now.
Dwayne and Jethro
Dwayne and Jethro were workers at the Weissport Boat Works, involved in the construction of boats that could transport drugs. Appearing in one scene, their names were never mentioned in the game, but inspection of Vice City's credits in the manual and internal files reveals their names. Only in San Andreas, where they reappeared with larger roles, are their names mentioned. Dwayne's name is listed as "Dwayne" in the game's data files and credits. They appear to have abandoned the Boat Shop after Tommy Vercetti took it over, however they can be seen observing Tommy in the mission "Checkpoint Charlie".
Pastor Richards
Pastor Richards appears only once in the entire game, at a party hosted by Cortez. Crazy paranoid anti-communist, hates those who help others. Calls his opponents degenerates. He was also a guest on VCPR radio's "Pressing Issues" program, where he campaigned for the construction of a giant statue to protect against communists.
Psycho
A psychopathic maniac who pursued the rock band “Fist of Love” believes that they ruined his life. In the mission “Psycho,” he waits for rockers in a crowd of girls lined up for autographs (a huge transvestite with a pistol is not a sight for the faint of heart). When Tommy, driving the group's limousine, approaches the crowd, Psycho goes on a shooting spree, kills a security guard, and jumps into the car to escape. But Vercetti catches up with him and kills him. However, already in the next mission for “Fist of Love” it turns out that the surviving Psycho (or his accomplice?) planted a bomb in the rockers’ limousine, and it will explode if the car does not rush at great speed, which is announced in advance, thrown by the maniac into the car, film. Luckily for the group, Tommy was behind the wheel. While he maneuvered at insane speed between cars rushing past, the rockers managed to defuse a bomb disguised as a bottle of vodka. After this, Psycho stopped pursuing the group.
French courier
A courier who worked for Colonel Cortez. He wears a curled mustache, a vest and a beret, and speaks with a strong accent. In the mission "Shooting in the Mall", the colonel asks Tommy to meet a courier in the mall and receive a package from him - chips for a missile guidance system. But a simple task turns into serious trouble when it turns out that the French intelligence services have found out the meeting place with the courier. The cowardly Frenchman escapes, and Tommy has to run after him under fire from special forces. After a motorcycle chase, Vercetti killed the courier and returned to Cortez with the chips.
Killed in mission: "Phnom Pehn "86"
This man worked for Ricardo Diaz for a long time. Having betrayed him, the thief stole 3% of Diaz's profits; in a rage, Diaz asks Tommy to follow him from his apartment to the place where he hides the money. At the same time, the thief, having moved from his apartment to his native gang “Sharks” on 3 abandoned mansions of Mendez, is waiting for Tommy and Lance with him. Having flown by helicopter to the abandoned mansions, Tommy kills all the bandits and this thief alone, takes this 3% of the profit and returns it to Diaz.

Thomas Vercetti - mercenary, drug lord.
Thomas was born in Liberty City in 1951.
Together with his father he worked in a printing house. The father dreamed that his son would follow in his footsteps, but Tommy chose the criminal path, starting to work for the Forelli family.
Thomas had dark, short hair. He liked to dress well. He has an Italian accent.
In the 70s he worked for Sonny Forelli. Tomi was good at his job and quickly advanced in his troubled career, becoming cooler and more calculating. His boss, fearing that Vercetti would want to take his place, sent assassins to kill him.
Tomii survived, killing 11 hitmen and earning the nickname “The Butcher of Harwood.” The cops grabbed him. He was due to be executed, but Sonny Forelli helped change the sentence to 15 years in exchange for his silence.
After 15 years, Tommy was released and Sonny sent him to work in Vice City.
When the family decided to start selling drugs, the boss sent him to the shootout. Tommy was ambushed and miraculously survived, along with lawyer Ken Rosenberg. Sonny demanded the return of the money that was thrown to Vercetti and Tommy promises to fulfill the request.
The hero turned to Rosenberg, hoping to earn money and return it to his boss. Tommy put on a nice suit and went to the yacht, to Colonel Cortez's party, where the big shots gathered. On the yacht, he meets the owner and his daughter Mercedes, who introduces him to everyone for whom he will have to work.
Tommy undertakes to find those who are responsible for the failure of the deal. In this case, he meets compatriot Lance Vance, who is looking for those responsible for the death of his brother.
Sonny continues to pressure Vercetti for money, forcing him to do dirty deeds.
Soon the hero is offered a good job for tycoon Avery Carrington. For him, she bombs a building, kills a competitor, and starts a war between Haitians and Cubans.
After this, Tommy begins to work for Colonel Cortez, who helps him find out who is responsible for the failure of the deal in which Trout's money was lost. For Colonel, Vercetti hijacks a tank and steals chips with missile guidance programs.
When the colonel sends his ward to protect drug lord Ricardo Diaz, Tommy begins working for him. For Diaz, he steals the fastest boat and destroys the Shark gang.
Tommy learns that it was Diaz who was responsible for the failure of the deal. When Lance is taken hostage by a drug lord, his friend comes to his aid and destroys the entire gang. He takes over Diaz's mansion, as well as his business, creating his own mafia clan.
Things are looking up for Vercetti. He becomes the guardian angel of the rock group Love Fist, becomes “native” for bikers, buys up part of a business in Vice City, buys an ice cream factory that sells drugs, buys a printing house, a boat workshop, a car dealership, a strip club, a film studio where he makes porn with Mercedes Cortes. When Tommy buys a Malibu club, he begins planning a bank robbery.
Soon the character again begins to quarrel with the Forelli family, who demanded their money. Sonny comes to Vice City to extract money from the debtor and Vercetti returns him the fake three million. Meanwhile, Lance, wanting to get rid of his friend, reports that the money is counterfeit and is framing Tommy. In the ensuing shootout, Sonny dies, as well as the traitor Lance. Only Tommy and Ken Rosenberg remain alive.
Now there was no danger to business in the north and Tommy decides to expand to the south.
This article talks about myths in GTA San Andreas from my own experience. So, let's begin
Many users are looking for UFOs in Sanaa. Unfortunately there is no UFO. The entire area was combed, the game files were searched, and in the end he was not there, but you can see him in the Lil" Probe" Inn.
Big Foot
Who started this rumor is not known at all. Even if scientifically explained, Bigfoot should live in a cold climate, and not in the tropics like Los Angeles. However, there are traces of him on Mount Chilliad.
The Bears
There were once bears in SA, and they lived in forests. Unfortunately, all the bears were killed, as evidenced by the target in the shooting range.
The stroller and the sea monster
With the help of the stroller, the developers wanted to play with the Easter egg for the film Dagon, so because of the call of the monster, the man drowned. The numbers on the stroller are the date of death. The grave of the deceased can be found in the cemetery at Palomino Creek, with a carriage drawn on it and the inscription in English. letters.
Zombie
Everyone has probably seen the Zombotech building in San Fierro. The developers wanted to play off an Easter egg from the film Resident Evil, only the corporation was called Umbrella. Also, many people think that there are zombies in the Los Santos crypt, in truth this is also an Easter egg for the Buffy movie. (this is a vampire)
Cult of Epsilon
Perhaps the myth was cut out in the Beta version, but it is not in the final version.
Ghost car
This car is parked in the forest Back or Out. If you approach her, she rolls down the mountain. In truth, the developers made a mistake in the coordinates.
Tenpenny's corpse
It is said that after beating the game, you can find Tenpenny's corpse. This is a fiction of gamers, on WCTR radio they say that his corpse was eaten by homeless people, and the remains of his body were taken to the morgue, so you won’t find any ladder there)
Clone of C.J.
It exists, but it's a game glitch. Under what circumstances it occurs is not clear.
Leatherface
This is a maniac in a leather suit with a chainsaw. It is there, but you have to feel it. =)
Ghost cars 2
They are in the forest near Mount Chilliad. This is a glitch of the game or the intention of the developers, it is not clear.
Grandfather digging graves in Los Santos
An invention of users, there is no such thing in the game.
Ghost of CJ's Mom
There is no mother's ghost. But you can see it; to do this, look at the portrait on the wall of C.J.’s house.
Mister Hat
This man is walking near a geyser in the desert. He has a black hat and cloak. If you get into a fight with him, he will say something about UFOs. In truth, the developers made a parody of a ufology club in the real world. If you search for UFOs for too long, you will go crazy.
Tommy Vercetti's house
They say there is a house in San Fierro where Tommy Vercetti lives. Tommy is not in the game's resources, so he is not in the game.
Cars driving on Mount Chilliad.
There are such people. But they go there because the developers made a mistake in the coordinates.
Santa Claus
The most ridiculous invention of users.
Room with monsters and humans
They say that there is a room in which you have to kill monsters. Following the described method, it was not possible to get into the room. And in general, the monsters themselves are not in the game.
Snoop Dogg
There is such a guy in the game, but his name is Madd Dogg.
Andromeda in the air
Some were eyewitnesses of how Andromeda, the one in the mission, flies in the air. Unfortunately, this is not the case in all versions of GTA. Andromeda itself consists of a texture and a model, but does not have a collision file, which means that it is possible to fly through an airplane.
Photographer suicide
Having crossed the bridge from Los Santos, we will see how a man takes photographs of Los Santos and then drowns himself. There are two versions of this:
The first one is about artificial intelligence, because the character, having made an action, walks straight and does not react that there is water in front. The second is that the Persian decided to take the last photo and drown himself.
Ghost World
There is a ventilation passage in the Caligula Casino. If you try to jump into it, you will fall down, and everything around will be black. In truth, you just fell outside the world in GTA SA.
Liberty City
You can get into it, but you will only see Marco Bistro. To do this, you need to perform a number of operations. (Sorry for not writing which ones exactly, I just forgot.)
Black stripes
A recent myth. In truth, if you fly beyond these black bars, you will see a black screen and the game will be severely slowed down. Sanya's world is not infinite, and the game is not capable of working out very large areas. To check this, in Place Manager, enter the coordinates 1000000. 1000000. 1000000.
Strange sounds on the Gant Bridge
Users have witnessed how the Gant Bridge made strange sounds. In truth, these are control booths that indicate the direction of ships from Liberty City (or somewhere else) using horns in the fog.
Colorful explosion in Las Venturas
They say that there is a small satellite dish in Las Venturas, and if you shoot at it, there will be a colorful explosion. The entire Las Venturas was treated on the Jetpack, but there is not a single satellite dish in it.
Strange hieroglyph
Many people found a strange hieroglyph in an abandoned airport using a thermal imager. This hieroglyph is very similar to the San Andreas fault, as well as the points on the UFO map.
That's all the myths about the game GTA San Andreas. I hope this document has helped you in some way. Good luck.
