Trivia
- The Psycho character was originally intented to appear without the groupie disguise at the end of Publicity Tour, according to an uncompilied mission script file (
rock4.sc) accidentally left in the files of The Definitive Edition. However, the character model mentioned in the script is a placeholder cab driver pedestrian. - The name of this mission is a reference to the 1977 Talking Heads song of the same name.
- In the mobile version of the game, the chanting of Love Fist fans is muted.
- During the chase, the psycho's Sentinel doesn't have a blip on the radar. This bug was fixed in the mobile and The Definitive Edition versions of the game.
- During the chase, a scripted Trashmaster will come out of an alleyway across from the fire station when the player gets close by.
