Trivia[]
- The song featured in the mission cutscene is "Cold Blooded" by Rick James. It can also be heard on Bounce FM.
- The game will always spawn a police car in the Well Stacked Pizza area.
- The bikers and their motorbikes have a lot of health and resistance, plus it's very hard to knock them off their bikes as the mission is designed to snatch the packages on the fly.
- If CJ gets close to the back of a bike he can snatch the package off the bike; however, the biker will dismount and shoot at CJ. After the player gets out of his range, the biker will remount and give chase. If the player stops near the marker outside the Pleasure Domes, the bikers will be seen encircling the street near the Domes but they won't come any closer.
- Killing the bikers can also give Carl more Micro-SMG ammunition.
- If CJ gets close to the back of a bike he can snatch the package off the bike; however, the biker will dismount and shoot at CJ. After the player gets out of his range, the biker will remount and give chase. If the player stops near the marker outside the Pleasure Domes, the bikers will be seen encircling the street near the Domes but they won't come any closer.
- If the player fails the mission by blowing up the bikes and the van with a rocket launcher, the player can push any of the vehicles' corpses to a garage, and the vehicle will be bulletproof upon being resurrected. However, the bikes are nearly impossible to get without being busted or wasted, and the van can only be acquired with cheats such as a Rhino.
- The texture of the backpack which the bikers use is similar to that of the parachutes used by the Triads in the mission A Home in the Hills.
