The gang's name presumably originates from dialog between Tommy Vercetti and [[Doris]] during the purchase of [[Kaufman Cabs]]. When Doris asks which gang Tommy belongs to in an announcement, Tommy responds that he does not belong to any gang (despite running a gang-like criminal organization at this point of the game). To Doris' annoyance, she improvises by simply calling it the "Vercetti Gang". This is the only instance of the name being used in storyline scripts. | The gang's name presumably originates from dialog between Tommy Vercetti and [[Doris]] during the purchase of [[Kaufman Cabs]].

The Vercetti Gang congregate and move in groups. They usually do not patrol the streets separately. The Vercetti Gang are never hostile to Tommy, and will never attack in self-defense, unless under the influence of the "Pedestrians Hate You" cheat. | The Vercetti Gang congregate and move in groups.

*Though some might consider the Vercetti Gang a [[Mafia]] family, due to being led by a former mafia member, it cannot be a true mafia family because there are members, such as [[Lance Vance]] and [[Ken Rosenberg]], who are not Italian, however not all mafia's are Italian, such as the Russian Mafia and Albanian Mafia. However, it does appear that Tommy structured it to resemble a mafia family. In San Andreas, The Truth mentions that [[Dwaine]] and [[Jethro]] had their business bought over by the mob. | * Though some might consider the Vercetti Gang a [[Mafia]] family, due to being led by a former mafia member, it cannot be a true mafia family because there are members, such as [[Lance Vance]] and [[Ken Rosenberg]], who are not Italian, however not all mafia's are Italian, such as the Russian Mafia and Albanian Mafia.

*The Vercetti Gang are frequently hostile towards the [[Cubans]]. This is very strange, because the Cubans, unless threatened by Tommy, are friendly towards Tommy, who is the leader of the Vercetti Gang. It is possible that their conflict is simply over turf. | * The Vercetti Gang are frequently hostile towards the [[Cubans]].

*When the player hits a Vercetti Gang member (without killing him or setting him on fire), he will not fight back, but fall on the ground, and get up after a while. | ** Also, after the player has achieved [[Completion in GTA Vice City|100% completion]], the player will be able to hire three Vercetti Gang members from the Vercetti Estate. They will follow the player around and will shoot anyone at whom the player aims a gun or anyone who attacks the player. | ||
*If the player inputs the cheat code which makes everyone in the city hate Tommy, even his own gang members will attack. However, while they can blow up any vehicle the player is driving, any direct attack on the player character will not result in loss of health. | * When the player hits a Vercetti Gang member (without killing him or setting him on fire), he will not fight back, but fall on the ground, and get up after a while. | ||
