Trivia

• Ed Hunter = Head Hunter (nowadays taken to mean Bounty hunter).
• In the PlayStation version, he bears a resemblance to Harold Zidler (Jim Broadbent) in Moulin Rouge.
• Hevy Impaler = Chevy Impala. Specifically, most of the car is a 1973 Chevrolet Impala Station Wagon, although the rear end is more of a late 60s design.
  • The Impaler is in fact based on Patrick “Batwick” Buckland's Chevrolet Caprice, which he owned during development of the first game (and used to run Tony over).
