Part 3 - Several past / present & future references & easter eggs connecting to actor Jerry Seinfeld may appear in the 2002 action adventure video game Grand Theft Auto: Vice City. The game's plot is a kind of dark comedic parody of TV & movies set in the American city of Miami, Florida in the 1980's.

- Kramer actor Michael Richards appeared in an episode of one such series the game is based on, Miami Vice (S2.E18 "The Fix"), broadcast in 1986.
- Seinfeld voiced Barry B. Benson in Dreamworks animated comedy Bee Movie (2007). Actor Ray Liotta (Vice City's Tommy Vercetti) voices an animated version of himself in this.
- A future easter egg to Bee Movie may be seen in Vice City. On Prawn Island across the street from the Interglobal movie production studios where many missions take place is a seemingly abandoned drug store called the "Elbee Chemists". The proximity to the film lot may also be a tip off to the nature of the reference.
- I mentioned the possible Kung Fu Panda reference in another video. Actor Wayne Knight (Seinfeld's Newman) voiced Gang Boss in Kung Fu Panda, Jong & Jong's Son in the TV series Kung Fu Panda: Legend's Of Awesomeness (2010-2016) & Big Fun & Hom Lee in Kung Fu Panda 3 in 2016.
- I thought a reference to this be seen in the mission "Riot." Here, hostile real estate developer Avery Carrington (voiced by Burt Reynolds) offers Tommy a job to help him grab a piece of land where a delivery company currently sits. The workers are currently striking in front of the SPAND EXPRESS warehouse & Tommy is told to start a fight amongst the crowd so that chaos erupts. Tommy is then to slip in and do some major damage to the existing infrastructure.
- I noted Carrington mentioned several different animals in his opening pitch, the anthropomorphic world of Kung Fu Panda also features a colorful cast of animals. Knight had previously acted in Steven Spielberg's dinosaur zoo blockbuster Jurassic Park (1993).
- I have found repeatedly that many easter egg references to other works may be seen as word puzzles or word plays.
- The title of the delivery company SPAND EXPRESS made me think about a Chinese fast food chain in America. If you acknowledge the other Seinfeld connections in Vice City and are able to entertain the fact this title may be a reference to PANDA then many possibilities open up.
- Newman works as a Postal letter carrier in Seinfeld.
- Knight voiced Gang Boss in Kung Fu Panda, Jong & Jong's Son in the TV series Kung Fu Panda: Legend's Of Awesomeness (2010-2016) & Big Fun & Hom Lee in Kung Fu Panda 3 in 2016.

00:00We're talking about knowledge of the future in movies, YouTube channel, Easter Egg Psychic.
00:05In this video, I'll share some past, present, and future Easter Egg references involving actor and comedian Jerry Seinfeld.
00:16And you can see these in the 2002 action-adventure game Grand Theft Auto Vice City, one of the best
00:25-selling games of all time.
00:27It featured a voice cast including Ray Liotta as Tommy Versetti, William Fitchner, Tom Sizemore, Dennis Hopper, Burt Reynolds, Luis
00:38Guzman, Philip Michael Thomas, Robert Davi, Danny Trejo, Gary Busey, Lee Majors, and Faruza Balk.
00:47The world of Vice City is like a dark comedy parody of popular movies and TV series set in the
00:56American city of Miami, Florida.
00:59The NBC TV crime drama Miami Vice was one of these.
01:03It starred Don Johnson and Philip Michael Thomas.
01:06Seinfeld's Kramer actor Michael Richards guest starred in Season 2, Episode 18, entitled The Fix, broadcast in 1986.
01:16Vice City's Ray Liotta later played himself in the 2007 DreamWorks animated comedy B-Movie.
01:24And this cast consisted of Jerry Seinfeld, Renee Zellweger, Matthew Broderick, and Kathy Bates.
01:30Alright, I mentioned the possible Kung Fu Panda reference in another video.
01:35And I think I found one to B-Movie.
01:39The location is on Prawn Island where you'll find the inter-global movie studios.
01:46Now across the street is an apparent abandoned building.
01:51And you drive past this many times throughout the game and probably never notice it.
01:59But take a look at this.
02:01This is the former location of the LB Chemist Drugstore.
02:08I think its relative proximity to the movie lot may also be a future clue to B-Movie.
02:17My YouTube channel is Easter Egg Psychic.
02:19There I go back and look at movies and television from the past.
02:22I analyze these for possible references to future media.
02:26These may appear in the form of anecdotes, idioms, anagrams.
02:30Hidden in the subtext of the work in question, I also use an unconventional method where I look at the
02:36likenesses of the actors.
02:39And what I found is you can take the likenesses, match these up to some of the anecdotal items,
02:45and show past, present, and future information about actors and other personalities
02:51that may resemble the personalities in the movie or television episode that you're watching.
02:57My email contact is easteregguy, that's G-U-Y, at yahoo.com
03:05Thanks for watching.
