Not a very good one, but marginally interesting all the same
It seems that Vice Citys' Ken Rosenburg (everyones' favourite twitchy lawyer) was inspired, almost down to the last detail by a film called "Carlito's Way"
I turned it on last night and it wasn't long before Dave (aka Ken) came on. For comparison; he hangs out with the Mafia, wears glasses, has a curly ginger afro-type-thing, a large bald patch, wears flamboyant suits and snorts cocaine
So, here's Dave [URL]http://www.lovefilm.com/images/static/newsletters/issue45/left04.jpg[/URL] and here's Ken [URL]http://tom.vdh.free.fr/photos/GTA_vicecity/perso/ken_rosenberg_pt.jpg[/URL]
For point of interest the film stars Al Pacino and was a decent gangster film

I've noticed various references but in terms of Gangster films I'm not really "clued up" enough
I've seen certain things like items and posters which I understand the reference to but some missions, plots and characters are from Scarface. It's unfortunate in that I haven't managed to see it yet
I'll try and download it (legally of course) methinks

Edit: FFF said it first.
Take a look at Scarface tnc and then you'll see a large part of VC is a copy of different elements in the former and Carlito's Way, plus others.

Vice City is basically just a huge car-crash of different films.
One of the best references I've seen in any game was in Max Payne. You walk into a grotty little flat and there's a sub-machine gun sitting on the worktop and the bad guy is in the toilet. You wait for him to open the door and then shoot the crap out of him.
A rather nice reference to Pulp Fiction.

I suppose, it's just the way it was lifted completely rather than just a subtle reference
The hoax Moon landings theory is my favourite reference

It's just GTA's little reference to Carlito's Way. There are plenty more to find if you've seen the right films.
The game takes a lot of things from a number of films. Nothing new there.
