The original Grand Theft Auto (1997) (VG) included three cities: Liberty City, Vice City, and San Andreas. Since the first two cities were remade for the PS2 (Grand Theft Auto III (2001) (VG), Grand Theft Auto: Vice City (2002) (VG)), it made sense that the third city, San Andreas, would be the third game in the PS2 series. This, of course, held a huge role in the ongoing debate on whether the game would be titled "San Andreas" or "Sin City".

Some of the pilot ratings within the game are: Goose, Maverick, Iceman, Jester and Viper, all call-signs of pilots in the movie Top Gun (1986).

The ads inside the Ammu-Nation store have the Marine Corps Hymn playing in the background, as well as a radio advert featured in the previous game Grand Theft Auto: Vice City (2002) (VG)

Many of the vehicles in this game were also featured in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City (2002) (VG), and a few in Grand Theft Auto III (2001) (VG). Because this game takes place in 1992 (between the events of Vice City, which took place in 1986, and GTA III, which took place in 2001), many of these cars are rendered to look as if they were combined-models. For example, the Landstalker (an SUV) is modeled to have the body of the Landstalkers from 1986, but it has the headlights/front grill of a Landstalker from 2001. The Banshee (a sports car) is modeled to look exactly like its 2001 counterpart. The Comet (another sports car) looks exactly like it did in the beta versions of Vice City. That version of the Comet had been redesigned, yet it's original version was brought back into Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas (2004) (VG).

In the video poker games you can play in the casinos in Las Venturas, some of the face cards are characters from the previous two games: Grand Theft Auto III (2001) (VG) and Grand Theft Auto: Vice City (2002) (VG).

Mike Toreno's license plate number is "OMEGA".

The license plate on Denise's car is "HOMEGIRL"

The license plate on Ryder's car is 'SHERM.' Throughout the game, CJ continually calls Ryder 'sherm-head.'

Millie's Car plate is "spank"

The license plate on Cesar's car is "LVA4L"

The license plate on Jizzy's car, a.k.a. "The Pimpmobile", is "Ho 2 Ho"

The License plate on Sweet's car is "GROVE4L".

The rail bridge from San Fierro is modeled on the Forth Rail Bridge, which runs North from Edinburgh, Scotland, where Rockstar games are based. The road bridge next to it, presumably modeled on the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge, also bears more than a passing resemblance to the Forth Road Bridge, which lies right next to the Forth Rail Bridge.

Thousands of gamers are looking for a "Big Foot", and attempting to take pictures of it from the in-game camera. No one has yet confirmed its existence, but many photos that gamers have taken resemble a rather big creature in the woods. Trees uprooted, and weird noises can be heard in the section of the map called "Back O' Beyond". Also many alien and ghost sightings have been reported. Many gamers have since looked through the entire code and have found no reference to Big Foot or aliens.

Wil Wheaton got his role as Richard Burns after being interviewed by Lazlow Jones, the writer of the radio station dialogue for the Grand Theft Auto video game series. Wheaton admitted his abundant admiration for Jones' work on the games, and Jones eventually worked out the Richard Burns character specifically for Wheaton. He recorded the voice work in a Rockstar Games studio in about two hours.

In Zero's RC Shop, there are action figures for Grand Theft Auto: Vice City (2002) (VG) and Manhunt (2003) (VG) on the shelves as well as other titles by Rockstar Games.

The protagonist of Grand Theft Auto III (2001) (VG) formerly known as "Fido" (among various other aliases) is actually named Claude. This is discovered during one of the phone calls from Catalina, who becomes Claude's girlfriend when they leave San Andreas. It is assumed that Claude is Claude Speed, the main character from Grand Theft Auto 2 (1999) (VG).

This game features numerous characters from the previous two games Grand Theft Auto III (2001) (VG) and Grand Theft Auto: Vice City (2002) (VG), including (but not limited to): Claude, Don Salvatore Leone, Maria La Torra Leone, Ken Rosenberg, Kent Paul, Catalina, Jethro, Dwaine, and more.

The mission "Saint Mark's Bistro" has CJ travel to Liberty City to deal with the Forellis at the restaurant of the same name. The restaurant exterior is faithfully remodeled from Grand Theft Auto III (2001) (VG).

In the bars of San Andreas; there is a painting of a Cerberus guard from Manhunt (2003) (VG) on the wall.

Various billboards around Los Santos are advertising "True Grime: Street Cleanup". This is a mockery of the makers of True Crime: Streets of LA (2003) (VG) who made fun of Rockstar games with signs advertising a company known as 'jockstrap'.

Many of the songs found on the station called "Master Sounds 98.3" are featured as samples in songs on the many hip hop and rap stations featured in the game. Most notably would be Bobby Byrd funk track "I Know You Got Soul" and Eric B.'s rap song of the same name.

Rockstar Games denied claims made by 50 Cent about him being asked to voice C.J, but turned it down because if he was ever to voice a character in a video game it would be as himself.

The character Lance 'Ryder' Wilson is modeled after Eazy-E, a member of seminal gangsta rap group NWA. Music from both NWA and Eazy-E is included in the soundtrack.

The ratings in this game were changed in mid-late 2005 because a cheat was discovered (either using a download or a game-hacking device) code-named "hot coffee". This is in reference to CJ's first girlfriend inviting him inside for "some coffee". Inside, using the hack, a user could get full view of a sex scene inside the game.

Jeffrey 'OG Loc' Cross was modeled to mock rapper Ja Rule. They even share the same first name of Jeffrey.

Ken Rosenberg, the coke-addled lawyer introduced in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City (2002) (VG) and returns in this game, is based on David Kleinfeld, Sean Penn's character in Carlito's Way (1993). Penn's brother Chris Penn appears in this game as a C.R.A.S.H. officer, Eddie Pulaski. Sean Penn played a C.R.A.S.H. officer in Colors (1988).

The music you hear when doing the "Car Bounce Challenge" with Caesar is actually from an episode of the television show "Buck Rogers in the 25th Century" (1979). The episode, 'Space Rockers', first aired on February 21, 1980 and featured a futuristic band called Andromeda playing this song with outlandish instruments. The song is actually called "Odyssey" and was written by Johnny Harris. It appears on the San Andreas soundtrack.

In the game, there is a military base called KACC Military Fuels. This is a reference to the computer club where soon-to-be members of DMA Design used to go to. It was called KACC, which stood for 'Kingsway Amateur Computer Club.' At that time, Rockstar North were called DMA Design.

During the game an ad for 'Zip' can be seen. This is clearly supposed to be GTA's version for the clothing company 'Gap'.

The three cities of Los Santos, San Fierro & Las Venturas and the state, San Andreas, were all takeoffs from the three real-life West Coast major cities in California and Nevada: Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Las Vegas.

In the game, The Cluckin' Bell fast-food Chicken restaurant was a takeoff from the successful Mexican-based Taco Bell restaurant chain.

In the Horse Racing mini-game, there is a horse with the name 'Henriks Jaw' in reference presumably to the former Celtic FC striker Henrik Larsson, whose jaw breakage saw him sidelined from football for a period in 2003, during the time San Andreas was in development. Considering Rockstar North is based in Scotland, it would seem likely that some of their employees working on the game could be Celtic fans.

In the graveyard in San Andreas, there is a crypt the player can enter. Inside, there's a chair, a television set and some old pizza boxes. This is possibly a reference to series "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" (1997).

In the repartee between Reflection's Driver series and Rockstar Game's Grand Theft Auto series, GTA once again pokes fun of Tanner. In the mission where you must steal Madd Dogg's rhyme book, one of the guards plays a video game and swears at the game company "Refractions," stating "Tanner, you suck."

The word "fuck" and its derivatives are used 365 times, not counting the soundtrack or random NPC interactions.

If you go North of the Military Base in the desert, you can find a body dump.

Originally, the Grove Street Families were going to be called Grove Street Alliance and the originally gang color was going to be Orange instead of Green. There is several proof of it in the game because Rockstar did not delete the it all. Such examples is that you can get tattoos saying Orange Grove and the black man in the Orange suit during the loading screen in the beginning is what Sweet originally looked like.

Het meeste (eigenlijk alles ) staat ook gewoon op WikiGTA, maar dan niet in het Engels. Kijk een keer bij de Easter Egg sectie. Daar staat alles wat hier staat.

EE sectie (Easter Egg is ook Trivia) van:

ik heb al heel vaak op gtawiki gekeken naar easter eggs en de meerendeel die hier instaat staat niet in wikigta .

bijvoorbeeld :

Mike Toreno's license plate number is "OMEGA".

The license plate on Denise's car is "HOMEGIRL"

The license plate on Ryder's car is 'SHERM.' Throughout the game, CJ continually calls Ryder 'sherm-head.'

Millie's Car plate is "spank"

en nog veel meer

Kijk eens op de Personages pagina.

http://nl.wikigta.org/wiki/Personages_%28GTA_San_Andreas%29

Daar staat het dan. Want om elke plaat van elk personage te behandelen als EE is ook een beetje ruimte opvullen.

En verder zijn ze voor mijn gevoel niet 'waardig' genoeg om op de EE pagina te zeggen. En die claim kan ook zomaar verzonnen zijn.

Er staan inderdaad al een heleboel dingen op WikiGTA, delen ook niet (zoekfunctie op WikiGTA). Mocht je ideeën hebben, kun je dat beter plaatsen in het WikiGTA-forum --> De ideeënbus. Teksten aan ons geven zal weinig helpen, omdat we alles zelf maken en niet kopiëren (vanwege auteursrecht). Er zijn op het moment ook andere dingen die wat meer prioriteit hebben (bij mij in ieder geval, ik weet niet hoe het zit met de anderen).
