Father/Son

Note del giocatore

• ◆This mission is similar to a part of the final mission in GTA San Andreas, where Sweet Johnson jumps onto the back of a fire truck similarly to Franklin jumping onto the yacht. Then when the side of the yacht swings out, and Jimmy is left dangling from it, it is similar to when Sweet was left dangling from the ladder of the fire truck.
• ◆The Wilhelm Scream is heard when Franklin throws the first goon off the boat.
• ◆The song Michael listens to on his iFruit phone during the opening cutscene is "I Don't Care Anymore" by Phil Collins. When Michael, Franklin and Jimmy drive to Los Santos Customs the song playing on the radio will always be "All the Things She Said" by Simple Minds. Both songs can be heard on Los Santos Rock Radio.
• ◆Franklin will always wear his off-white shirt and jeans if the mission is started by Michael.
• ◆The Sentinel is scripted to break down after two gunshots to the engine, even if the player avoids the gunshots altogether. In normal gameplay, however, the Sentinel's engine can take up to twenty gunshots before the engine is destroyed.
• ◆The Phantom towing Michael's boat trailer is immune to the player - it cannot be destroyed, and is difficult to catch up with, particularly at its first instance. It also cannot be overtaken; if the player manages to get ahead of the truck, it will speed ahead, particularly at the end of the chase.
• ◆When Franklin jumps from the Marquis to the Sentinel, he will make his way to the passenger seat regardless of the car's movement, even if it is flying through the air or upside down.
• ◆If Michael fails to catch Franklin before the truck drives away, a special cutscene will play. Michael pulls over, he then grunts, and Jimmy will say to him "Dad, don't be all butt hurt. At least you got me out of there.", making Michael angry, who shouts at Jimmy saying "You listen to me, you little shit! That kid just jumped off the hood of a moving car to save your ass, and now he's gone! And so is my boat!", before leading to mission failure. If Michael fails to save them both, Michael will pull over at the same spot, yelling "Fuuuuuck!", constantly hitting the steering wheel, before laying his head on it crying, again leading to mission failure.
• ◆If the player manages to follow the truck's path after the engine is damaged, one will eventually find the trailer abandoned in the middle of the road. It seems that the truck leaves Elysian Fields Freeway by going to Amarillo Way, turns to the east side of Innocence Boulevard and, eventually, despawns at the intersection with El Rancho Boulevard (right before entering Sustancia Road). The trailer itself will eventually despawn too.
• ◆Grenades and sticky bombs thrown during the chase will not blow up when triggered, wasting them away. They can be blown up after the yacht is lost, however.
• ◆If the player gets to Los Santos Customs before Franklin calls a cab for Michael, Franklin will offer Michael a ride back to the house, though Michael will wave down a cab anyway.
• ◆If the player has beaten or lost any of Hao's races prior to completing this mission, he will comment on Franklin's victory or loss as the player enters the garage.
• ◆Alternatively, if the player hasn't done any of Hao's races yet, Hao will comment that Franklin really needs to sign up for the races.
• ◆It is possible to customize the Sentinel after repairing it. Doing so will prompt Jimmy to jokingly say that Amanda will be angry once she finds out.
• ◆If the player leaves Los Santos Customs without repairing the Sentinel, the mission will fail with the message "You failed to fix the car." This message is oddly written in second person, instead of the usual third person.
• ◆After the end of the mission, Jimmy will send a text message to Franklin asking him to accept his friend invitation on Lifeinvader. However, there will be no friend invitation on Franklin's Lifeinvader page.
• ◆When the player switches to Michael after this mission has been completed, he may sometimes be seen at the dock, upset at the loss of his boat.
• ◆If the player replays this mission and has modified Amanda's Sentinel, the Sentinel featured in the mission will have all upgrades, except for the paint job which will be the default (red). The same applies to Franklin's Bagger in Repossession.
