GRRRR!!!!!!! After I spent so long getting it....
Ryan Lee sent in this glitch:
Sometimes, if you fire the Hunters missiles it blows itself up for no
apparent reason, probably because one of the missiles has hit the Hunter

*I've had this glitch too, it's the only way I have died in a Hunter so far
(and trust me, I've stolen a lot of them!) I think the way to avoid it is
to make sure the Hunter is still when you are firing and DO NOT TURN!*

Pole
Ryan Lee has also told me that he once got a Stinger stuck in a sign (The
sign was through the middle of the bonnet with no visible means of entry
and exit

*Again, this has happened to me too, but with an Infernus and a Lampost.
I figure that certain parts of signs/lamposts aren't solid, and the car may
rise a few feet in the air, then go through the not-solid bit, slides down
and becomes trapped on the Solid bit*

Matt Pinske has e-mailed me this glitch
I was just playing vice city now, enjoying a flight in the sea sparrow when
I encountered an evil glitch. Usually when you fly to the edge of the map,
the game simply automatically turns you away, rather than letting you
continue off into the not-created area of the ocean right? Well, if you
go as far north as possible then go as far east as possible (so you end
up at the top left of the map, well actually if you go all the way as I
said you won't appear on the map, the big pink "you are here" arrow is
nowhere to be seen. Anyway, if you get to this point, the game simply crashes,
the music continues to play, but the game freezes. I haven't found any other
places this happens and that was the only time my game has crashed. I
loaded up and went to the same area again to see if what happened was just
a coincidence, but my game crashed once again. Both times I was flying
around in the sea sparrow (but I assume it works with any helicopter and
presumably the skimmer plane also).

- I'm gonna tell you what I told Matt, which is that sounds just like
what happened in GTA3. Hmmmmm -

*Please Don't, its just for fun(Pizza Cake bit)

8.3 Other

Easter Egg
No, it literally *IS* an Easter Egg! Go to the VCN Helipad, and look to the
North West and you will see a building next to you. One of the windows isn't
Solid, (you can find out which one it is by firing at them with something
like the M4 and see if sparks bounce off), basically it's the one closest to
the red flashing thing, and will be close to you also. Jump into, well
through the Windo I guess, and you will arrive in a small room. In the small
room on a Podium is:An Easter Egg!

Scarface!
Ever wanted to go to the place where THAT chainsaw scene took place? Well now
you can! Go a block to the south of the Pay 'N' Spray in Ocean Beach, and
you will see a nice appartment on the south side of it. Go up the stairs on
the right hand side, and enter through the door. This is Appartment 3C. Now
go through the door on your right and there it is, the bathroom, complete with
bloodstains and you can even aquire a certain weapon in there(No prizes for
guesing what weapon it is...)
Also, look at how similar a certain office and the Office in the mansion are...
And Finally, Just wear the Mr. Vercetti Outfit....

Goodfellas!
Thanks to Emile for all of these:
- The guy in the meat locker at the start of the game is probably a reference to
what happened to Carbone
- In GTA3 there is a poster with the words "Badfellas" written on it
- 3 of the voice actors who have been in the GTA Series (Frank Vincent,
Debi Lazar and Ray Liotta) are from Goodfellas

The Beach Ball
From your mansion on Starfish Island, go down the curved road and go
into the first house on the right.Look in it's swimming pool and you
will see a beach ball. If you shoot it it will go flying. Running into
it with a car makes it burst. If it keeps bouncing on your head, you get a
number above you. This is the amount of keepie uppies done. I have also
found two more beachballs, one in another swimming pool on Starfish Island,
another is on Ocean Beach.
Marco Spurk has found a second Beach Ball on Ocean beach, it's in the middle
of the beach in front of the Deacon Hotel.

Blue/Brown Thunder
The hunter missions are called brown thunder because its a parody of an old 80's
helicopter cop movie called blue thunder. it was about some stealth prototype
chopper and a cop that steals it to prove his freedom, etc.... Pretty Ironic,
a cop stealing it really
Thanks to Weston Marlott for that one

The Sunken Ship (1)
Head just slightly to the east of the tool icon in Vice Point and head
north, preferably in a helicopter or a boat. The Sea Sparrow is ideal for
this, but you can use any helicopter if you have the drive on water cheat
enabled. Keep going north until you can see the sunken ship and there you
are. It appears to be a massive tanker with the same words as the big ship
in the docks on it "Chartered Libertine Lines", I guess it's the same kind
of boat.

The Sunken Ship (2)
Head just north of Prawn Island in a helicopter or a boat, I think boats
work best for this, and head for the West side of the Bridge connecting
downtown and Prawn Island, ie on the Downtown side. Look right at the bottom
of the far right bridge support and you will see a sunken boat, it looks kinda
like a Reefer.

The Sunken Ship(3)
It's basically in a South-West Direction from the three huts in the middle of
the sea, and is directly south of Skumhole Shack(but a very long way away from
it, so line yourself up on your map). This is another Tanker and is identical
to the other one.
Thanks to Richard Inns for that one

Under The Sea
There are many sea creatures which you can see, the best place to see them
is standing on the Leaf Links cost, using an M4 or similar weapon to look
for them, and a PSG-1 to look at it up close. So far, I have seen:Sharks,
Dolphins, Turtles, Jellyfish, single fish, shoals of fish.

The Submarine
There is a massive Nuclear Submarine under Vice's water. Find the sunken
TANKER(1)(See above) and head due west. It is kinda hard to see, the best
vehicles to use are helicopters. The Sea Sparrow is ideal for this, but you
can use any helicopter if you have the drive on water cheat enabled. And NO
you cannot get into it, it is only scenery, like the planes that fly from
the airport. And even if you could drive it, how would you get under water
to get to it?

Concrete Man
There is a man with cement around his feet underwater at one of the three
rock formations between Leaf Links and Downtown. He looks like he has had
his face smashed in. I have heard Rumours that it is Diaz, but it's the same
guy you can see around the Beach, and especially around the Lighthouse. He
is under the Water, but on top of the rocks.

Extra Gangs
These aren't really "Gangs" as such but did you know that the Golfers are
a gang in terms of the games programming? they either hang around in packs
or walk around in packs like gangs, and if you hit one, they will all get
you with their clubs, and some even have pistols. Their gang vehicle is
obviously, The Caddy. Also, the Army in Fort Baxter Air Base also have gang
programming.

Mansion and Hotel
Extra things will be added to these two buildings when certain things
are done:
Hotel
- Boomshine appears when you complete Phils mission
- Trophy appears on TV after ammunation shootout thingee
- Posters of Candy appear after Interglobal missions completed
- Money appears on bed, probably after printworks missions completed
- Hockey mask appears after completeing "The Job"
And Thanks to Mr. Man For this one:
- A Tiki Broken in half with cocaine pouring out of it will appear if you
get all 100 Hidden Packages
Thanks also To Marco Spurk for this next one:
- A trophy will appear on the TV saying "Shooter of the Month" on it.

Mansion
- After complteing events at the stadium, different trophies appear on
the TV
- Pictures of Candy and Alex Shrub appear on the desk
- Manuals to all the weapons you own are on the desk too
- Gash carrier bags also appear, I don't know why just yet though
- After completing "Demolition Man" an RC Helicopter box will appear
More Thanks to Marco Spurk for this one
- Target Sheets will appear on your table if you complete the Downtown
Ammunation Shooting range.(NOTE:You can complete the Shootist to complete
this)

Iwan Best has E-mailed me this:

In the part about new stuff in your mansion you say the pictures of candy
and Shrub.There are color ones too. They're on that little coffee table
type thing. If they're the ones your talking about there are black and
white ones on the left (from where the door is) of your desk.

More Mansion Madness (--- See what I did there?
On the Second Floor of the Main bit, there are paintings all over the
walls, including two of Diaz. One of them has had Glasses and Devil horns
put on with Black Marker Oen, and the other one has a beard but on with
the same pen and has been slashed across Diaz's eyes.

Mega More Monstrosity Marvellous Mansion Madness Montana(OK, perhaps I
went a bit too far there.....)
As time goes on, more and more litter, Beer Cans and Pizza Boxes to
be precise, piles up around the Mansion. I blame the Marios.

Swimming Pools
On Starfish Island, there are two interestingly shaped Swimming Pools,
one is of a Woman's body, the other is of the Rockstar Logo

More R* Imagery
At Night, go to the middle of the Beach and look at the sky over the
sea. Notice the arrangement of certain stars?

They really do love themselves, don't they?
If you see some of the people sunbathing on the beach, look out for
the Rockstar Logo on one of the towels

OK, now you guys are going OTT
Thanks to Iwan Best:

"You say the R* logo is in diffrent places,well it's on the back of the
Hotring racer as well"

Also, I'd like to add that the Rockstar North logo is on the cars too
(it's the blue one, btw) and also, companies like SUMO (back of
Yankees and Mules in GTA3) and AMCO (Owned a gas station and the tallest
building you could get to without flying. And any evidence to suggest
that it wasn't the tallest you could get up to without flying will be
ignored! :p)

The R* Strikes back!
Thanks to:/Skarre
Read your guide and about all the R* logos.
Next to the VCN-building is a company building and the companys name is
ROXOR (sounds like R*)and it has kinda a R* logo.. Just thought you´d
want to know.

If you look into funeraria Romero window you see a gravestone "R.I.P" but
the R is the rockstar R. And to the right is a picture of a guy with a R*
logo on his jacket.
Romero might be a reference to the cult zombie director George A. Romero.

Boats in the distance
If you go to Ocean beach, and look out at the sea, you can see sailing
boats and massive ocean liners, but they disappear after a while

Building Lights
Look at one of the Buildings close to the Malibu at nightime. More
specifically, look at the arrangement of it's lights. I wonder if the
Programmers were trying to tell us something.....

Shoot the Moon
The name says it all, use the PSG-1 or Sniper Rifle to shoot at the moon
and see what happens.

Hooker Trick
This is the same as in GTA3. Get a nice car(no Bikes or anything) and go
up to one of those hookers. You know the ones, the ones dressed like sluts
but it is really hard to tell, as pretty much every woman dresses like
a whore in Vice City! Then take your car to an isolated spot, and Tommy
and the Whore will, erm you know. Anyway, your health will go up to 125
(unless it was 150 and in which case you will lose health, that hooker
must have AIDS or something.) And your money will go down. Get your money
back afterwards by killing the Hooker.

Phils erm, "interesting" poster
if you go in Phil Cassidy's trailer, and into his bedroom, there is a
poster for a movie called "chicks and (or with) guns", and on the top
of the poster it says "absolutely fucking great", in those actual
words!!!!!!
Thanks to Dan Buckley for that one

Also, Emile has pointed out that Phil has another similar poster, and
also has a good theory about it:

You mentioned the poster for "Chicks 'n' Guns" that says "absolutely
fucking great", but there's another obscene poster in Phil's room : just
above his bed, there's a poster for "Chicks 'n' Guns II", which says "it
fucking ROCKS" at the top. (Note: These are not the only f-words in the
game, however. There's a song on the Wave radio station, "Never Say
Never" by Romeo Void (the one where the chorus goes "I might like you
better if we slept together"), which includes a line that says "I
couldn't give a fuck".) But it makes you wonder, how many f-words would
it take for the ESRB to threaten a game with a AO rating? After all,
it's pretty obvious that the reason those two posters are hidden in a
hard-to-find location is so that the ESRB reviewers wouldn't find them,
and the reason the characters don't say "fuck" in their dialogue (as
gangsters probably would in real life), must be that the ESRB would have
rated it AO instead of M.

Iwan has confirmed that the poster in Phil's trailer says Chicks WITH Guns
not and.
Dan did say "and (or with)" however, so I guess he didn't get it wrong

You're going to pay for that, Pig!
If you fly a helicopter over your mansion when you have a reasonably high
wanted level(3 stars and above) then land it on your roof and go downstairs
and you will find that the cops have deployed the stingers all over your
mansion!
Thanks to David Brooks for that one

Iwan Best says it only works on 3 stars

Run Forever
How to run forever: all you have to do is keep tapping x instead of holding
it down until he gets tired or whatever. just keep tapping and he won't
stop
Thanks to Blake for that one

I'll give you one guess as to who E-mailed me about this one.That's right,
it was Iwan Best again. He said you can't run forever, only for a hell of a
long time!

That Suxxx!
After completing G-Spotlight, you can return to the Building where the nice
image of Candy was projected onto, and it will still be there!

Why do they have a Calendar anyway?
Kaufman Cabs have a Calendar, and so far I have found two copies of it in
the Game:One of them is at Kaufman Cabs, the Other is in Phil Cassidy's
trailer

Their memory lives on
Remember those camp builders in GTA3 who you could often see well actually
everywhere but you could also see them around a building with the words
"Fudge Packing Corp"(Get it? Fudge Packing...) Well, if you look on the
map you got with Vice City where Little Havana Streetware is supposed to be
there is a sign with it written on
Also, Spand-Express ie Spandex Press geddit?

The Science of Mr. Zoo
Mr. Zoo says after he is drugged to make him stop being crazy, because what
he does to animals is plain wrong "I got a message for you, look for a(now
this next bit is jumbled, this is just my interpretation) wall behind
China.... This could be something to do with Chinatown in GTA3, but I
don't think so. Along the road on which the Cafe Robina is a wall,(which is
next to a Chinese restaurant, a cleverly titled establishment which goes
by the name "Wok & Wok") and there is a gap in the Wall that will take
you round the back of the Chinese restaurant, and there are stairs leading
to the roof of the building behind it, and then if you jump down you can
get onto another building next to it. Next, you can go up more stairs that
will take you onto the roof of the restaurant, where there is a PSG-1. But
that isn't Mr. Zoo's only suprise, because once you are on the roof you can
jump down onto a Kaufman Cabs Billboard, which makes an excellent Sniping
vantage point, and also on there is a Hidden Package. Now, if I see something
similar to this in another guide, it's pretty obvious they copied me, so
unless they ask me for permission, I'm gonna sue em. OK? OK so Mr Zoo's
rewards aren't that great, but you can ask people if they have done the
Mr. Zoo sidequest and they won't have a clue what you're on about.

Don't tell Buzz though
Go to the Film Studio, and into one of the actual Studios(I think that it is
Studio D, but I may be wrong) and *gasp* it's the place where they filmed
the Moon Landing! (In case you didn't know, there is a massive conspiracy
theory into the moonlanding being faked)

Foreshadowy/Let me Out!/The Superman Effect
I had so many great titles for this secret so I decided to use all three!
In the film Studio, you will notice a pair of red phone boxes, like
the ones you get in (And this is the foreshadowy bit) London! so perhaps
that is just a little hint by R*, but most people are convinced it will
be in San Andreas, and with the Getaway coming out(It's a GTA Style
game that is set in London in case you were wondering)it seems unlikely.
Anyway, grab a tall car, the Packer that is in the Film Studio is ideal
for this and then park it in front of the phone boxes, then try to jump
on top of a Phone box(I know this works for one of them, so there's no
reason why it shouldn't work for the other unless it is a one-off glitch
though I doubt it very much) but you can't jump on top of it! you fall
right through. Now you are trapped! and the camera angle tends to go
a bit psycho, but sometimes you can actually see inside Tommy's body
(nothing to see here folks, Tommy is hollow!) but if you are lucky the
camera can show a cool shot from a little way back of Tommy Standing in
the Phone Box. So now what? well, get a Six Star Wanted level(cheat!),
and Cops will begin to show up. Sometimes a cop will manage to get his
fists and his pistol through the phone box, and attack you.I got floored
but I didn't get busted. If you have a Flamethrower, use it! The walls
of the Phonebox are very weird, I managed to Snipe a cop through them,
and another time I had the dot centred on another Cop's chest, and kept
firing round after round at him, but the bullets went straight through
him and into the tyres of the Packer. Another way to get rid of the cops
if they swarm around your box is to Rocket Launcher the Walls, but you
will obviously get caught in the blast, so get ready to input a cheat.

So that's where it went....
have you noticed that when you go from one mainland to another and the
welcome to vice city loading screen comes up the words are underlined by
cocaine
Thanks to Iwan Best(AGAIN!) for that one

Car Secrets
Look out for the Teddy Bear on the Gang Burrito, it is in a number of
different positons on the car, and sometimes moves.
On the Phoenix, it's engine at the front glows when you accelerate.
Cuban Hermes often spit fire when you accelerate from their exhaust.
Going into a Police Car gives you a Shotgun(Iwan Best E-mailed me about this
but I already had it in the guide, and I remembered doing it in GTA3)
Going into an Enforcer gives you Body Armor
Going into an Ambulance gives you Full Health
