00:00Officers, here he is! This man is insane! He destroyed my house!
00:04Woah! Hey! No, wait a minute, you asked me!
00:07He's ruined my life! He's a stalker! He's an Epsilonist!
00:11Welcome to Mojo Plays, and I've just finished the facts about the Resident Evil remakes,
00:15and I've been jonesing to talk about more facts.
00:17These are 20 Grand Theft Auto facts you didn't know.
00:20Let's do it!
00:21Before we continue, we publish content all week long,
00:24so be sure to subscribe and ring the bell to get notified of our latest videos.
00:30Lamar was almost playable Grand Theft Auto V.
00:33It's that house right there, with the yellow stairs.
00:36Yeah, good looking out, homie. Appreciate it.
00:39Man, get your stupid ass on!
00:41As you obviously know, the final mission in GTA V offers three possible endings.
00:46Option A and B means you either kill Michael or Trevor,
00:49taking three playable protagonists to two playable.
00:51Option C, however, allows all three main characters to live,
00:55though we all assumed it meant Franklin died, judging by it being called Death Wish.
00:59But data uncovered in the game's files revealed that Option C originally did go that way.
01:04Franklin was meant to die,
01:05and Lamar Davies would have taken his place as a fully playable character in the post-game.
01:09This scrapped twist would have dramatically changed the game's dynamic,
01:13and final roster cementing Lamar with more than just that one brilliant scene
01:16I can literally never quote.
01:18You got it.
01:18I mean, she cool as a motherfucker, man. Come on.
01:21Come where?
01:22We gotta go pick up some shit from around the corner, man.
01:24We can walk and talk at the same time.
01:26Why the fuck we can't drive?
01:28Around the block with Chop?
01:30You need to walk with your fat ass.
01:32Frozen Alien in prologue Grand Theft Auto V.
01:35Did you see that?
01:36Yeah, you're real stout.
01:43This is tough, because although it's a pretty well-known secret at this point,
01:46it is so infamous that we have to talk about it a little bit.
01:49During the prologue's getaway mission with the gang,
01:51the game directs you to follow the path across the railway tracks.
01:54Instead of following that route, turn right.
01:56Drive under the nearby bridge.
01:58If you look down into the river,
01:59you'll spot a frozen alien trapped beneath the ice.
02:02Boom!
02:02Aliens are canon.
02:15A lifetime of bad press, Grand Theft Auto.
02:22Did you know?
02:23GTA was already surrounded by controversy back in 1997,
02:26even before it was released.
02:27Inspired by American action films like Speed,
02:30the game had its vision and just needed some buzz.
02:32To stir up interest, DMA, pre-Rockstar,
02:35enlisted British publicist Max Clifford,
02:37who planted exaggerated stories in UK tabloids,
02:40claiming GTA encouraged hit-and-runs and assaults.
02:43The controversy fuelled public curiosity,
02:45and the original GTA went on to sell 3 million copies.
02:48I think it was probably a good call,
02:50based on how much we're all sitting on the edge of our seats for GTA 6.
02:57Prototype at birth, Grand Theft Auto.
03:08There's always going to be those urban legends,
03:10like Salvador Dali fighting over the dinner table
03:12and sending a lobster flying across the room,
03:14where it landed on a phone,
03:15and he looked at it and said,
03:16hmm, that's not bad.
03:17But unlike that one, this one isn't complete bullshit.
03:20The entire GTA series originated from a playtest
03:23of an early Rockstar project called Race and Chase.
03:26During testing, a glitch allowed police to chase criminals off-road.
03:30Developers found this unexpected behaviour
03:32more exciting than the original concept,
03:34leading them to rework the game entirely,
03:36eventually introducing the first, Grand Theft Auto.
03:47John Marston's son wrote a book, Grand Theft Auto V.
03:55Grand Theft Auto is huge,
03:57with every game getting bigger and bigger,
03:58leaving more places to hide little lore dumps and easter eggs.
04:02For a timeline easter egg,
04:03head into Franklin's Vinewood Hills home,
04:05and take a look at the bookshelf in the living room.
04:07If you zoom in, you'll spot a familiar title.
04:10The book on the far right is called Red Dead.
04:12The author is listed as Jay Marston,
04:15which refers to John Marston, the game's protagonist.
04:17However, if you've finished Red Dead,
04:18you'll know that John's son, Jack,
04:20is a book lover with aspirations of becoming a writer,
04:23making him far more likely the candidate
04:25for the book's author instead.
04:37Shooting the Moon, Grand Theft Auto series.
04:45I know, I know, you probably know this,
04:46but there are still a good chunk of gamers
04:48who have no idea this exists.
04:50In the 3D universe games,
04:52shooting the moon with a sniper rifle
04:53causes it to change size.
04:55Weird, right?
04:56Each shot makes the moon grow larger,
04:58and once it reaches its maximum size,
05:00it resets back to its smallest form.
05:01It's weird, it's dumb,
05:03but it is canon,
05:03and now, it's on this list.
05:07The War with Jack Thompson, Grand Theft Auto series.
05:10It's never a dull moment on this show,
05:12especially if it's a demographic.
05:14One of the most vocal critics of violent media
05:17was Jack Thompson,
05:18a former attorney known for his aggressive legal tactics.
05:21Beginning in the late 1980s,
05:23he targeted political figures
05:24and rap artists over offensive lyrics.
05:26In 1999,
05:27he filed his first video game lawsuit,
05:29but it wasn't until 2003
05:30when Thompson began targeting Grand Theft Auto,
05:33attempting to defend teenage murderer Dustin Lynch
05:35by arguing that GTA 3
05:37had fueled his violent behavior.
05:38He has been a non-stop attacker of the game,
05:41and somewhat of an arch nemesis of Rockstar.
05:44In 2007, the Florida bar disbarred Thompson
05:46following numerous complaints of misconduct
05:48and dishonesty,
05:50which is what he deserves.
05:51Loser.
05:56Double reference underwater Grand Theft Auto 5.
06:03If you dive about 500 feet off the coast of sandy shores,
06:05you'll come across a mysterious underwater hatch,
06:08one that bears a striking resemblance to the hatch
06:11from the TV show Lost.
06:12But that's not all.
06:13If you swim just above it,
06:14you'll hear a series of strange tapping sounds.
06:16In classic Rockstar fashion,
06:18it's actually a coded message.
06:20And when decoded,
06:21it says,
06:22Hey, you never call.
06:23How'd you fancy going bowling?
06:24Sound familiar?
06:25If you don't get it,
06:26what are you doing on this list?
06:35Affected by tragedy,
06:36Grand Theft Auto 3.
06:47Grand Theft Auto 3 was released just a month after the September 11 attacks,
06:51and it drew a fair amount of criticism for its violent content,
06:54which most people who were alive around that time already know.
06:57What many don't realize is that even with only a month before release,
07:00Rockstar actually did implement some very important changes,
07:03including changing the color of police cars to avoid resemblance to the NYPD vehicles,
07:08altering a plane's flight path so it wouldn't appear to crash near skyscrapers,
07:12and cutting a mission that referenced terrorism.
07:14That's pretty bloody good.
07:21Hearing impairment, Grand Theft Auto 5.
07:23Mr. Madrazo is a legitimate businessman,
07:26who was wrongfully accused of running a Mexican-American gang,
07:30and a narcotic ring,
07:31but the charges were dropped,
07:33because of the witnesses came up,
07:35missing.
07:36Smart guy.
07:37Now,
07:38Michael,
07:40I've got a question for you.
07:43It's not often that you're able to catch something that actors do out of necessity,
07:47especially if they're absolute professionals,
07:49but sometimes very natural actors will import their own mannerisms by complete accident.
07:53You may have noticed that in a cutscene,
07:55when someone is talking to Michael on his right side,
07:57he'll usually turn his head or shift his whole body towards that character.
08:01Turns out that Ned Luke, who plays Michael,
08:04is almost completely deaf in his right ear.
08:06Interesting.
08:07That didn't have nothing to do with it.
08:09Whatever the hell it is you're talking about.
08:10Huh?
08:12Really?
08:13The criminals are believed to escape with millions of dollars with gems,
08:17precious stones,
08:18and major rings.
08:19Age difference,
08:20Grand Theft Auto 5.
08:21You know,
08:22you know, Franklin,
08:22if there's one thing that you're going to learn from being around us,
08:26it's just f***ing insanity.
08:28Then they can't fry you.
08:29Alright, here's one that blew my mind.
08:31Although Trevor Phillips is arguably at least 20 years older than Franklin in the game,
08:35their voice actors,
08:36not so much.
08:37Stephen Og, who voices Trevor,
08:39is actually five years younger than Sean Fontino,
08:42the voice behind Franklin.
08:44Now, I don't know if Stephen Og has had a really hard life,
08:46or Sean has had a really cushy life.
08:48Something's wrong here.
08:49Take a moment,
08:50while you're sitting on that big fat pile of cash,
08:54to chill the f*** out,
08:55and realize what's done is done.
08:57Whatever you say.
09:00Wait, this is a good time.
09:01Walt Theft Auto,
09:02Grand Theft Auto 5.
09:06Franklin.
09:07Hey, what's up?
09:09I assume you got him.
09:10Ooh, safe and sound.
09:12Ain't that right, buddy?
09:14Alright.
09:14I don't feel totally happy including this one,
09:17just because it's the only fact on this list I couldn't 100% confirm,
09:20but it has become an internet truth,
09:22which is basically as good as a real truth.
09:24Right, guys?
09:24Assuming the internet never lies,
09:26actors for Grand Theft Auto 5 were told,
09:29up until they were hired,
09:30that they were auditioning for a game called Frozen.
09:32This was in an effort to maintain privacy about the latest GTA entry,
09:36but would have confused a lot of people reading the dialogue.
09:39I don't remember Elsa saying this.
09:41I like you, dawg.
09:42And you know this.
09:44I risked everything for your ass, dawg.
09:46What is this?
09:48Look, man.
09:49Me and you know this s*** over, dawg.
09:51We both really.
09:52The f*** is this?
09:53Each character has a different sleep schedule,
09:55Grand Theft Auto 5.
10:02I hate to start an entry like this,
10:04but did you know when saving the game by sleeping,
10:06the amount of time that passes varies depending on the character?
10:09Crazy, right?
10:10I had no idea, but it's true.
10:12Michael sleeps for 6 hours,
10:13Franklin rests for 8,
10:14and Trevor sleeps the longest,
10:16an impressive 12 hours,
10:17which makes a lot of sense,
10:18because he's also probably been awake for 9 days.
10:20I kinda look upon you as the friend I never had,
10:24the son I never wanted,
10:26and the shrink I could never afford.
10:29You do?
10:30Kinda.
10:31Angry Mimes, Grand Theft Auto 5.
10:40The NPCs in GTA 5 are an absolute marvel to behold.
10:44You can wander the streets for hours listening to random conversations,
10:48following random activities,
10:49and enjoying the world that was meticulously designed
10:52in order to make the NPCs feel like real people.
10:54But again,
10:55did you know that if you take pictures of street performers
10:58without paying them,
10:59they get really, really grumpy?
11:01Facts.
11:02Wow.
11:05Wow.
11:07Oh!
11:09Multiplayer was the end goal at Grand Theft Auto 3.
11:15Considering it would take Grand Theft Auto another 3 years after the release of GTA 3,
11:20before they reached a playable multiplayer mode that felt good,
11:23it's interesting to think that multiplayer was intended to be a feature of the 2001 entry.
11:28Considering how vanilla and beta the co-op mode in San Andres felt,
11:32it's wild that this was thought to be achievable.
11:34And even though it was eventually scrapped as they got closer to release,
11:37it's cool to imagine two clods causing absolute carnage in Liberty City.
11:46Rockstar paid a GTA 5 modder to fix the game,
11:49Grand Theft Auto 5.
11:50Officers, here he is.
11:52This man is insane.
11:53He destroyed my house.
11:55Whoa!
11:55Hey!
11:56No, wait a minute.
11:57You ask me.
11:58He's ruined my life.
11:59He's a stalker.
12:01He's an epsilonist.
12:02Yeah!
12:03Get him!
12:04Rockstar Games hasn't always had the best relationship with the modding community.
12:07However, in 2021, a modder discovered a way to reduce the game's lengthy load times
12:12by an impressive 70%.
12:14Rockstar acknowledged the improvement in Patch 1.53,
12:17and not only implemented it into the official game,
12:20but also rewarded the modder with $10,000, as reported by Forbes.
12:24It was a surprising and well-earned recognition,
12:26and gives us hope that maybe big studios will stop mod-blocking dedicated fans,
12:30and just let them create.
12:32I've been reading a lot...
12:33Don't you move!
12:35You're coming with me!
12:37Keep It In The Family, GTA series.
12:40Welcome home, Carl.
12:42Glad to be back.
12:44You haven't forgotten about us, have you, boy?
12:47Hell no, Officer Tenpenny.
12:48I was just wondering what took y'all so long.
12:50I'm gonna say it again.
12:52Did you know that Sean Fontino, who voiced Franklin in GTA 5,
12:56is actually the cousin of young Melee?
12:58Melee famously played CJ, the beloved lead character in GTA San Andres,
13:02albeit under a different name.
13:04Both titles are set in the fictional city of Los Santos,
13:07and both actors are also rappers in real life.
13:09It's wild to think about Melee bragging for years about being the protagonist of a GTA game,
13:14only for his cousin to step in like,
13:17cool off, mate.
13:17That's easy.
13:18What's up, CJ?
13:19What's crackin'?
13:20Man, all they care about is smoking and money.
13:22You can't knock a homie's hustle, sweetheart.
13:24Marks ain't soldiers.
13:25They idiots trying to beat businessmen.
13:27Yeah, but they down with us, man.
13:29All they down with is money.
13:30CJ, go down there and show these fools you mean business.
13:32The Hollywood game Grand Theft Auto series.
13:35Homie, what you own?
13:37Whatever it is, you need to reduce the dosage.
13:40Excuse me, but I never take drugs.
13:43We all know drugs are for losers and or sex maniacs.
13:47This is a tough entry to write about,
13:48because while there are many that you don't know about,
13:51there will be a few you're already familiar with,
13:52so pick and choose for yourself on this one.
13:54The GTA series has probably had more celebrity cameos
13:58than any other game series,
13:59including Sam Jackson, Ricky Gervais, Phil Collins,
14:02James Woods, Pete Fonda, Burt Reynolds,
14:04Gary Busey, Dennis Hopper, Danny Trejo, Ice-T, and Ray Liotta.
14:08I could keep listing, but we'd be here for a while.
14:11Cara De La Vinge.
14:12Alright, I'll stop.
14:12Do commandos not wear pants?
14:15Why is it called Going Commandos?
14:16They must wear pants.
14:22Why are you not wearing pants?
14:27What do you mean because we're commandos?
14:29They're gonna see that.
14:30At least camouflage it.
14:32Well, look.
14:32Well, now it's getting bigger.
14:33Why is it getting big?
14:36Look, this barbed wire up.
14:37You're gonna lose it.
14:38Pop it away.
14:40Method Acting, Grand Theft Auto V.
14:42Hey, you seen Ashley?
14:43Johnny's looking for her.
14:45Well, you know, as a matter of fact,
14:46I just did, just ten minutes ago.
14:47Yeah, I saw her on the end of this penis here.
14:50Johnny ain't gonna be cool if you messing with her again.
14:53Oh, really?
14:54Well, you don't think so, huh?
14:55Well, why don't we just ask him then, huh?
14:57Hey, hey cowboy, you mind that I f***ed your old lady?
15:00Getting into character can be really tough,
15:02especially when you're just recording lines for a character to spout randomly
15:05and you don't get to do the full mocap and get dirty.
15:08But this doesn't stop some actors from pushing themselves to achieve an authentic performance.
15:13Stephen Og, our beloved Trevor, actually recorded some of his dialogue out of mocap in his underpants,
15:18that's just to feel authentically Trevor.
15:20An idea I've actually stolen from him.
15:22I'm in my underpants right now.
15:23Was that clear?
15:25I can't blame you.
15:28Who are you?
15:30Namaste.
15:31I'm Fabian.
15:37Good lord.
15:40The trifecta theory, Grand Theft Auto 5.
15:42Michael!
15:43You're the peacemaker!
15:45Well, I ain't having it, alright?
15:47I ain't having it.
15:48Did you know there's a much-loved theory called the GTA V trifecta theory?
15:53With a good community behind it, it suggests that the game's three protagonists,
15:57Michael, Franklin and Trevor, symbolize three different eras of the Grand Theft Auto series.
16:02Trevor being the unhinged and manic embodiment of GTA 1, 2 and London.
16:06Franklin being the representation of the class ascending stories of GTA 3 through San Andres.
16:11And finally, Michael being the new version of GTA,
16:14the post-modern story-driven carriage that is GTA 4 and its DLCs.
16:19You may not have known, and now you definitely do.
