* The outfit Niko wears during this mission (suits with [[Balaclava|balaclavas]]), the weapons you use (M4A1's), the large black bags of money slung over your back and the general set-up of the mission is an obvious homage to the 1995 film ''[[wp:Heat (1995 film)|Heat]]'', in which Robert De Niro and his henchmen [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pKwV8-Mk8jY| rob a bank in similar fashion], including a subsequent run-and-gun shootout in the surrounding city streets of Downtown L.A. In both heists a member of the gang named Michael dies. | * The outfit Niko wears during this mission (suits with [[Balaclava|balaclavas]]), the weapons you use (M4A1's), the large black bags of money slung over your back and the general set-up of the mission is an obvious homage to the 1995 film ''[[wp:Heat (1995 film)|Heat]]'', in which Robert De Niro and his henchmen [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pKwV8-Mk8jY| rob a bank in similar fashion], including a subsequent run-and-gun shootout in the surrounding city streets of Downtown L.A.

* | * Some fans speculate that this level is inspired by the 1997 [[wp:North Hollywood Shootout]]. That incident is rumoured to have been inspired by the gunfight in ''Heat'' mentioned above. | ||
* The mission also references the 1991 film ''[[wp:Point Break|Point Break]]''; during a bank robbery in that movie, one of the hostages (a plain-clothes police officer, as opposed to a gun club member in the game) decides to take down the robbers, succeeding in killing one of the crooks but ultimately leading to their own death. In both the movie and the game, the would-be hero also discusses their plan with a neighbouring hostage, a security guard in ''Point Break'', [[Luis Fernando Lopez]] in GTA IV. | |||
* The amount of [[Money]] stolen is $1 million (and the reward is 250,000 for each of the four robbers). | * A further reference is to to the [[GTA Vice City]] mission [[The Job]], in which the [[Tommy Vercetti|main character]] robs a bank with a four-man crew(including himself) and one of the members dies. Furthermore, if you take too long targeting the first two police officers in the subway they will kill one of your accomplices and you will fail the mission. The same thing happens in The Job when Tommy Vercetti is on his way to the safe; if you do not eliminate the two security guards on the second floor quickly enough they will kill [[Cam Jones]], leading to mission failure. | ||
* The amount of [[Money]] stolen is $1 million (and the reward is $250,000 for each of the four robbers, although it is unclear what happens to Michael's share). | |||
* The [[Wanted Level in GTA IV|five star wanted level]] that [[Niko Bellic|Niko]] gains after the robbery is permanent until it is reduced near the end of the mission, it can not be removed even with [[Cheats in GTA IV|cheats]] or fleeing the borough. | * The [[Wanted Level in GTA IV|five star wanted level]] that [[Niko Bellic|Niko]] gains after the robbery is permanent until it is reduced near the end of the mission, it can not be removed even with [[Cheats in GTA IV|cheats]] or fleeing the borough. | ||

There are four members of the heist gang, although unluckily Michael is killed, leaving just three. | * The mission's name is a reference to the fact that, in Ireland, four leaf clovers are considered lucky.

*The mission is seen again in the final DLC [[The Ballad of Gay Tony]]. This time, it is the [[I luv LC|opening cut-scene]] of the DLC, which starts where Eugene and Luis talking while lying down. Like commonly believed, Luis was there to pick up money for [[Anthony Prince|"Gay" Tony Prince]]. | * The mission is seen again in the final DLC [[The Ballad of Gay Tony]].

*In the [[PlayStation 3]] version, after the [[cutscene]] where [[Eugene Reaper]] is shot, if the player exams the floor by [[Luis Fernando Lopez|Luis Lopez]] they can see that Eugene is still alive with his hands on his head; instead, there is a dead fat bearded man beside them. | * In the [[PlayStation 3]] version, after the [[cutscene]] where [[Eugene Reaper]] is shot, if the player exams the floor by [[Luis Fernando Lopez|Luis Lopez]] they can see that Eugene is still alive with his hands on his head; instead, there is a dead fat bearded man beside them. | ||
* It is possible to kill Luis before escaping the bank, which would logically make the events in TBOGT impossible. Moreover, the player receives no penalty for doing so. | * It is possible to kill Luis before escaping the bank, which would logically make the events in TBOGT impossible.

*When Luis leaves the bank after it's robbed in the introduction of TBoGT Niko, Packie, and Derrick are seen almost running over Luis in the crosswalk, this does not at all happen in the original GTA IV. Even if the player goes to the exact same spot Luis will not be spotted. | * When Luis leaves the bank after it's robbed in the introduction of TBoGT Niko, Packie, and Derrick are seen almost running over Luis in the crosswalk, this does not at all happen in the original GTA IV.
