Trivia: If the player goes to a certain cliffside overlooking the El Gordo Lighthouse at 11pm, the ghost of Jolene Cranley-Evans, the murdered wife of politician Jock Cranley can be seen. The story is that she was pushed off the cliff by her husband, but her death was later declared as accidental. The name "Jock" can be seen written in blood on the rock Jolene hovers over, accusing him of killing her. The ghost will disappear if the player approaches it, but can be viewed through a sniper rifle scope.

Trivia: There is a secret boss fight that can be unlocked. This can be only unlocked if the player has 100% completed the game, completed the Strangers and Freaks mission The Last One, and collected all 27 peyote plants, as well as collected all 7 golden peyotes which can be found during either foggy or snowy weather. Once all of these requirements have been achieved, the player will then enter a hallucination where they become Bigfoot, and can engage in combat with a beast.

Trivia: In the rural outback area of Los Santos, players can stumble across a scenario in which numerous trucks are parked in a circle, filled with dead bodies and injured survivors in a drug deal gone wrong. The player can then take the money from the deal, but if they do so, two trucks will chase after them and start shooting. This is a reference to the movie No Country for Old Men, in which Llewelyn Moss comes across a drug deal gone wrong, and takes a briefcase of money used for the drug deal and is then pursued afterwards.

Trivia: During a specific time in the day, players can come across a scenario on a cliff in which a car is parked near the edge, and police cars are parked not far behind, cornering the car. The car will then drive off the edge of the cliff and explode when landing. This is a reference to the ending scene of Thelma and Louise, in which the exact same scenario plays out. The two main characters are cornered by police and drive off the edge of a cliff to escape them.

Trivia: Marriage Counselling: When Michael catches his wife sleeping with the tennis coach, he chases him to what he believes is the tennis coach's house, unaware that it actually belongs to Martin Madrazo's girlfriend. Michael then attaches a rope to the foundation poles of the house and drives away, causing the house to collapse. This is a reference to a scene from Lethal Weapon 2, in which Riggs tears down a house using the exact same method.

Trivia: When the last heist is unlocked and you choose to do the subtle option, the mission carries out very similarly to the Italian Job. You have to modify cars to hold the required amount of weight in gold just like the movie. The difference is that instead of modifying Mini Coopers, you modify Bravado Gauntlets. Also towards the end of the heist, you have to drive the cars into trailers of semi trucks just like the movie.

Trivia: Blitz Play: The heist mission bears many similarities to the opening heist scene from the movie Heat. To make sure the truck stops, Franklin rams into the truck, flipping it over onto its side, the same action that is done in Heat. An explosive is planted on the back door to blow the doors open, also done in Heat. They take the men inside the truck hostage and one of them says they have gone deaf due to the explosion, which also happens in Heat. Additionally, Franklin, Michael and Trevor all wear stylised masks to disguise themselves during the heist, just like in Heat, where the heist team wear hockey masks to disguise themselves.

Trivia: Right at the very end of the end credits, a patient document will appear from the office of Dr. Isiah Friedlander, Michael's therapist. The document gives an overall summary about what kind of player you have been throughout the game.

Trivia: Fresh Meat: When Trevor arrives at Franklin's house, he leaps over the fence, but ends up tripping on the fence and Franklin starts laughing. The moment where Trevor trips was never scripted. What happened was, when the scene was being filmed, the motion capture performer for Trevor, Steven Ogg was supposed to leap over the fence, but ended up tripping on the fence and the motion capture performer for Franklin, Shawn Fonteno broke out laughing. Trevor's rant at Franklin after this was then made up by Steven Ogg himself.

Other mistake: Franklin and Lamar: Franklin and Lamar begin by entering two cars: a red car and a white car. If Franklin gets in the red car, then Lamar will get in the white car. As Lamar enters the white car, he is never shown pulling a handle. He is just miming the actions of pulling a handle and the car door just opens.

Question: What is the name given to those cart things that can be driven around San Andreas? For a detailed description, the carts being referred to kind of look like a golf cart, but without the roof on it and they are only shown in San Andreas, and not shown in Los Santos.

Chosen answer: It is called a Civillian Caddy. Also the location being referred to is not San Andreas, but in fact Sandy Shores.
