Description
"He seems a friendly kind of guy, but appearances can deceive, and the way he guns that 4x4 along you’d think he was on the run!"

Juicy Jones

In the US version of Carmageddon, as well as the Android and iOS version, he is named Juicy Jones, and the blood on his shirt is re-coloured to resemble orange juice (or as some would call it, O.J.). His bio also changes:

"This man loves oranges, but because of his OTT suspension he tends to spill his orange juice everywhere."

The portrait seen on the view racers screen also has some noticeable differences compared to most other portraits, using a different font for the racer's name, as well as lacking the full "slide up" and "slide down" animations. The latter makes Juicy's portrait seem to appear more abruptly than other racers.

No official statement has been made as to the reasons behind the name, portrait, and bio change, though the nature of the changes seem to indicate issues with the obvious likeness to O. J. Simpson.

Trivia

  • OK is an obvious parody of O. J. Simpson, who is nowadays more famous for his highly publicized murder trial than for his days as an American Football player. The Fraud Broko is based on his Ford Bronco SUV, which was used in a nationally televised low-speed highway pursuit when Simpson refused to turn himself in. During his sports career, Simpson was known as "The Juice."
  • This car's handling is deliberately terrible: It's as if the Jelly suspension "powerup" was built-in!
  • The name of this driver's FLI file is CHEVYCHA. This would suggest Chevy Chase, which in turn would point to his aforementioned pursuit... where he drove a Chevrolet and not a Ford.
  • Some original (non-GOG) US editions of the Carmageddon Max Pack use both the "OK Stimpson" and "Juicy Jones" names, with the former being used for Carmageddon and the latter used by the Splat Pack.
