Boomshine Saigon is a mission in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City given to protagonist Tommy Vercetti by Phil Cassidy from his firearms business in Little Haiti, Vice City.

Mission

Tommy Vercetti goes to Phil's Place and finds a drunked Phil Cassidy, who shows him his boomshine bombs, with Vercetti saying that he feels 'woozy' from the smell. Phil presses the detonator but the bombs fail to explode. Phil walks closer to the bombs and presses the detonator again, with the bombs exploding, blowing off Phil's right arm in the process. A now woozy Vercetti then gets Phil into his Patriot and drives him to the West Haven Community Healthcare Centre. Phil, however, states that the hospital is full of police and Viet Cong, and asks to be driven to an ex-army surgeon in Little Havana, as he owes Phil a favour.

Trivia

  • The mission scene has the song "Burnin' For You" by Blue Oyster Cult. This is the only time this song appears in this game.
  • During the cutscene, Phil blows off his right arm. However, it shows him with it intact and his left arm missing when he is dropped off at the doctor.
  • The reason the screen is blurry in this mission is because Tommy Vercetti was drunk on boomshine by smelling it.
  • In Grand Theft Auto III, Phil claims that his arm was blown of in Vietnam, but the events of this mission contradicts Phil's statement in GTA III.
