* 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.

* 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.

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.
