Trivia
- In this mission, Paulie Sindacco says "Hey Toni! Why don't you swim up here and kiss my ass?". Ironically, however, Toni cannot swim.
- When Toni blows up the boat and kills Paulie, he says Ladies and gentlemen, Paulie Sindacco has left the building!. This is a reference to Elvis Presley's famous catchphrase Ladies and gentlemen, Elvis has left the building!.
- In navigation, "dead reckoning" is the process of calculating one's current position by using a previously determined position, or fix, and advancing that position based upon known or estimated speeds over elapsed time and course.
