## Trivia

* Despite being based on Johnny Gat's comic, he isn't featured or mentioned at all in the DLC, and it seems to centre around Playa.
* This DLC was originally announced for release in "winter 2012", though ultimately it appears this was intended to reflect the actual season of release rather than the quarter of the year as one might expect.
* Before release, it was widely speculated that the DLC would be based on the final mission of the same name, although this was proven to be false. However, the set used for the "Gangstas in Space" mission is hinted at in a cutscene in the DLC; Playa makes a comment about another space set in-between scenes, wondering if they will be using it later.
* On the Genkibowl newscast, it states on the bottom on the screen that the movie *Gangstas in Space* will be shot in Steelport in a month. This is most likely a reference to this DLC.
* The character Jenny Jaros is a reference to lead writer Steve Jaros.
* Zimos' Pad appears as a set in the sound stage during "Hangar 18 1/2".
* On the back stage of the last sets in the mission "Hangar 18 1/2" is a cave scene recalling the *Red Faction* series and a large yellow mech; this is a "Heavy Walker" from *Red Faction: Guerrilla*.
* Upon seeing the "Heavy Walker" back stage, Playa thinks that it is real, and wishes to have one for himself, before Jenny tells him it is a prop.
* On one of the backstage sets behind some old planks is an old Genkibowl sign.
* Throughout the mission "Hangar 18 1/2", three new weapons are used: the Laser Pistol, the Auto Laser and the Laser Cannon, although these weapons can only be used in this mission and nowhere else.
* In one of the back-stage areas, there is a set from Professor Genki's Super Ethical Reality Climax's "*Baby or Cobra?*". Professor Genki can heard promoting it on the radio.
* In all three missions, whenever "action" is called by Andy Zhen, sounds of film reel being played is heard and the mission takes on the air of a B Grade movie.

### Achievements

* "Warrior Princess" and "Xenaphobe" are references to *Xena: Warrior Princess*.
	+ "Xenaphobe" is also a play on the word "xenophobe", someone with a fear of foreigners, who are usually called "aliens" in American English.
* "I Do My Own Stunts" is a reference to the line spoken by Josh Birk in the first mission, which is a reference to multiple real-life action movies stars who perform their own stunt work, rather than using stunt doubles.
* "Do a Barrel Roll!" is a reference to the internet meme of the same name. This line comes from Nintendo's *Star Fox 64*. This reference is also mentioned in the *Saints Row IV* mission "The Real World".
* "Revenge Of The Navigator" is likely a reference to the film *Flight of the Navigator*, which centres around an alien spacecraft.
* "First Contact" is a reference to the concept in anthropology of the first meeting of two cultures previously unaware of one another, which has been reused many times in science fiction stories as first contact with extraterrestrial life.
