00:00In this video, I'll share some Easter eggs to actor Matt Frewer and his character Max Headroom.
00:08And you can see these in 2002 crime action adventure video game Grand Theft Auto Vice City.
00:17One of the best-selling games of all time with 17.5 million copies sold.
00:22Alright, so for the Mission Guardian Angels, Tommy Versetti is doing a job for retired Army Colonel Cortez.
00:33He's got to provide protection for a deal involving a Cuban gang.
00:39Tommy is instructed to pick up some special firepower at the Washington Beach multi-story car park.
00:48Driving up to the car park, you'll see the signage.
00:53It reads, Maximum Headroom 4.0 meters.
00:58Perhaps seemingly a coincidental reference at first.
01:03However, I recognize this as a possible nod to Max Headroom.
01:09Computer-generated TV presenter based on Matt Frewer's character, Edison Carter, in the various television adaptations in the 1980s.
01:22The character was in fact named for the notice that appears to the entrance of many car parking decks.
01:30Another interesting link, he played a transport chief and thug for drug lord Oscar Carrera in the fifth season two
01:40-part opening story to NBC TV crime drama Miami Vice broadcast in 1988.
01:50The series starred Don Johnson and Philip Michael Thomas as undercover police detectives Crockett and Tubbs.
01:59There may be some references in this to Vice City mission, Guardian Angels.
02:06Alright, so yeah, in the opening, it's the birthday party.
02:09Carrera's wife Celeste, played by Deborah Feuer.
02:14The origin etymology for the name Celeste, this means heavenly or of the sky.
02:23That may be an indicator.
02:25I think a lot of the decoration at the party may be in reference to her.
02:31There's an angel, a crystalline, maybe an ice sculpture or a glass ornament that's in the ballroom or hall where
02:43the celebration is taking place.
02:45There's an interesting connection here to a car in the Grand Theft Auto games and this is the Stinger.
02:55It's a pretty close replica of the Ferrari Daytona Spyder manufactured by the Italian automaker between 1968 and 1973.
03:07In part two, Redemption of Blood, Sonny Crockett in these episodes is suffering from amnesia.
03:14He's mostly forgotten his real identity as a police officer.
03:22He's really gotten into his role as the gang's head of security.
03:26He has these flashbacks to his days with the department and his partner, Tubbs, and some of their past exploits.
03:37One character you'll see in the flashback here, it's of Eddie Kaye.
03:43He was an illegal arms dealer played by actor Jeff Faye.
03:47He appeared in Season 3, Episode 1.
03:49This story was entitled, When Irish Eyes Were Crying, broadcast in 86.
03:54Now, spoiler alert, in this episode, a case character famously destroyed the duo's Black Ferrari Daytona with a shuttle launch
04:08Stinger missile.
04:11There's some theories out there that the Stinger in the GTA games, including Vice City, was named for the events
04:18of this episode.
04:19Another thing you'll notice about the inclusion of Jeff Faye and Matt Frewer is a future nod to adaptations of
04:30horror author Stephen King's 1975 short story, The Lawnmower Man.
04:36The 92 film starred Jeff Faye as a mentally impaired landscaper, approached by a scientist played by Pierce Brosnan, who
04:49offers to experiment, own him, hopefully improve his cognitive ability.
04:56He happens to use a combination of drugs and virtual reality computer simulations.
05:04Jenny Wright, Jeffrey Lewis, and Austin O'Brien, also in this cast.
05:11O'Brien returned for sequel, Lawnmower Man, 2 Beyond Cyberspace, in 96.
05:18Matt Frewer plays Job, Patrick Bergen was also in this.
05:23And we all feel kind of respect for the public music part in a decision.
05:23I feel really getting frustrated at this stage when I just did it immediately.
