Trivia[]
- The use of police brutality is implied, as sounds of a man being beaten can be heard outside the station, and Kanbu's cell has bloodstains on the wall.
- The same blood marks are also seen in the bathroom of Apartment 3c in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, and underneath the heads of the dead Liberty City Port Authority guards during Grand Theft Aero later in Grand Theft Auto III.
- An unused string in the american.GXT file, "KM1_D", refers to Claude being rewarded by allowing him to obtain two bodyguards from the Hyaku Dojo.
- After the mission, the wall will remain destroyed and will not be repaired for the rest of the game.
- Kanbu (幹部) means executive in Japanese.
