The opening of the game was pieced together from live film-material that was taken from an 8 minute GTA 2 short-movie created for the purpose of advertising the game. This movie has since been made available to the public and is downloadable from the game's web-site. This depiction of [[Claude Speed]] (the playable protagonist) is somewhat different from his appearance in later (but chronologically earlier) titles as he displays a wide array of emotions and appears to be quite verbal, though since the only audio heard during the movie are music and sound-effects his lines are unintelligable (though the events are easy enough to follow).

Whether the movie can be considered canonical is debatable, as it appears to show Claude getting killed at the end (shot by a Zaibatsu hitman while trying to break into a sports car).
