Love Fist Limo: Difference between revisions

Latest revision as of 23:31, 23 July 2012

A Love Fist limousine in GTA Vice City (Rear quarter view).

The Love Fist limousine is a customized limousine used by the Love Fist rock band in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City.

Design

The Love Fist is a heavily modified derivative of the game's Stretch limousine, being generally shorter and featuring aggressive modifications, such as a supercharged engine and side-mounted exhaust pipes, as well as lacking the Stretch's trunk-mounted "boomerang" TV antennae and sunroof. The car is invariably painted red, as well as featuring a matching red interior and tinted windows around the rear compartment. The limo also features custom "LUVF1ST" license plates, the earliest car in the series with a customized license plate.

Fitting for its appearance and the lifestyle of the band members that the limo is meant to cart around, the Love Fist possess superior performance over the Stretch, with better acceleration and speed, as well as slightly better cornering due to its shorter wheelbase.

Prominent appearances

The Love Fist limousine becomes a prominent feature of two Love Fist missions, Psycho Killer and Publicity Tour. "Psycho Killer" involves the player having to lure out a would be killer for Love Fist by driving an empty Love Fist limo to a fan gathering. For "Publicity Tour", a crazed fan of Love Fist has placed a bomb in their limo, and has set it to go off should the car drop to a certain speed. Tommy must maintain the limo at near top-speed, while the drunken band attempt at length to defuse the bomb. The mission references "Speed", a movie where a bomb planted in a loaded bus will go off if its traveling speed goes below 50mph.

Locations

In front of the V-Rock studio in Downtown after completing "Publicity Tour." This vehicle is not available outside the mission in the original PlayStation 2 version.
The Love Fist in GTA Vice City can be spawned by inputting cheats.

It is invariably painted red and features a turbocharged engine.  The chassis is a shorter version of that used by the standard [[Stretch]] limousine.  The Love Fist limousine becomes a prominent feature of two Love Fist missions, and is attainable by the player only after completing the fist of these two missions, [[Psycho Killer]].  Otherwise, the vehicle re-appears for the second mission, but does not become available upon its completion.  After these two missions, the vehicle never appears again.

-[[Tommy Vercetti]]'s new associate, [[Kent Paul]], has introduced him to the Scottish rock band, [[Love Fist]], who is being targeted by an insane ex-fanatic bent on utter destruction of the band as revenge for some unexplained grievance.  Tommy is asked by the band to kill the lunatic, and chases him down after he shoots a guard and flees from a public signing for the band.  However, the lunatic's plan is still in full swing even after his death: he shows up again inside the band's limousine, where he has left a tape with a recorded message.  The message indicates that a bomb has been wired to the car, and in a sequence reminiscent of the film ''Speed'', Tommy must maintain the Love Fist limousine above a certain speed in order to prevent the bomb from detonating.  Meanwhile, the drunk and confused band members fumble their way toward finally disarming the bomb, ending the lunatic's assault on the band.
