* 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. | * Some fans speculate that this level is inspired by the 1997 [[wp:North Hollywood Shootout|North Hollywood Shootout]].

* 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 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.

* 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. | * 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.
