Trivia
- Using cheats to jump or fly over the brick wall allows the player to explore parts of Portland Island, however, the ground is not always solid, and only parts of the city are viewable.
- Using the "rocketman" cheat will give you a Jetpack, but you will find it quite unusable in this mission. If you jump over the wall and clip through the ground on the other side of it, your rocket pack will not help you re-ascend.
- Using the "kangaroo" cheat to jump over the wall will cause you to fall through the ground on the other side of it, and you will free-fall for about 30 seconds until you splash into an "invisible ocean." In the distance, you will see a partial copy of Easter Basin, San Fierro, and if you used a rocket pack to patiently descend through this Blue Hell, you will get to explore this partial copy of San Fierro, however, you'll see no cars, but pedestrians here. The garage that is the copy of your Doherty garage will open its doors, but you won't have a save disk here. This area is entirely of no use, and the only way you can get back in the game is by reloading your last save point or dying.
- Deleted audio for the game reveals that Rockstar Games had intended for the high ranking Forelli Family gang member to be called Marco Forelli. However, as the audio was not used, the character remains un-named.
- Liberty City is technically an interior, despite having an exterior look.
- During the mission a car can be seen in the yard behind the bistro, it has a unique license plate reading "4GEDIT".
- If the player destroys the Sentinel in the Courtyard, then only the trunk and hood will fall off, and all the four doors will stay on.
- Carl Johnson was supposed to have a string of missions in Liberty City, but Rockstar Games decided to leave it out. This is why Liberty City was not entirely solid.
